2. Relationship of the Parties; Processing of Data
- The parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the processing of Personal Data, Customer may act either as a controller or processor and, except as expressly set forth in this DPA or the Agreement, InboxPilot is a processor. Customer shall, in its use of the Services, at all times process Personal Data, and provide instructions for the processing of Personal Data, in compliance with Data Protection Laws. Customer shall ensure that the processing of Personal Data in accordance with Customer's instructions will not cause InboxPilot to be in breach of the Data Protection Laws. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of (i) the Personal Data provided to InboxPilot by or on behalf of Customer, (ii) the means by which Customer acquired any such Personal Data, and (iii) the instructions it provides to InboxPilot regarding the processing of such Personal Data. Customer shall not provide or make available to InboxPilot any Personal Data in violation of the Agreement or otherwise inappropriate for the nature of the Services, and shall indemnify InboxPilot from all claims and losses in connection therewith.
- InboxPilot shall not process Personal Data (i) for purposes other than those set forth in the Agreement and/or Exhibit A, (ii) in a manner inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this DPA or any other documented instructions provided by Customer, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organization, unless required to do so by Supervisory Authority to which InboxPilot is subject; in such a case, InboxPilot shall inform the Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest, or (iii) in violation of Data Protection Laws. Customer hereby instructs InboxPilot to process Personal Data in accordance with the foregoing and as part of any processing initiated by Customer in its use of the Services.
- The subject matter, nature, purpose, and duration of this processing, as well as the types of Personal Data collected and categories of Data Subjects, are described in Exhibit A to this DPA.
- Following completion of the Services, at Customer's choice, InboxPilot shall return or delete Customer's Personal Data, unless further storage of such Personal Data is required or authorized by applicable law. If return or destruction is impracticable or prohibited by law, rule or regulation, InboxPilot shall take measures to block such Personal Data from any further processing (except to the extent necessary for its continued hosting or processing required by law, rule or regulation) and shall continue to appropriately protect the Personal Data remaining in its possession, custody, or control.
- CCPA. Except with respect to InboxPilot Account Data and InboxPilot Usage Data, the parties acknowledge and agree that InboxPilot is a service provider for the purposes of the CCPA (to the extent it applies) and is receiving personal information from Customer in order to provide the Services pursuant to the Agreement, which constitutes a business purpose. InboxPilot shall not sell any such personal information. InboxPilot shall not retain, use or disclose any personal information provided by Customer pursuant to the Agreement except as necessary for the specific purpose of performing the Services for Customer pursuant to the Agreement, or otherwise as set forth in the Agreement or as permitted by the CCPA.
3. Confidentiality
- InboxPilot shall ensure that any person it authorizes to process Personal Data has agreed to protect Personal Data in accordance with InboxPilot's confidentiality obligations in the Agreement. Customer agrees that InboxPilot may disclose Personal Data to its advisers, auditors or other third parties as reasonably required in connection with the performance of its obligations under this DPA, the Agreement, or the provision of Services to Customer.
4. Authorized Sub-Processors
- Customer acknowledges and agrees that InboxPilot may (1) engage its Affiliates as well as the Authorized Sub-Processors on the List (defined below) to access and process Personal Data in connection with the Services and (2) from time to time engage additional third parties for the purpose of providing the Services, including without limitation the processing of Personal Data. By way of this DPA, Customer provides general written authorization to InboxPilot to engage sub-processors as necessary to perform the Services.
- A list of InboxPilot's current Authorized Sub-Processors (the "List") is set forth in Exhibit B. InboxPilot will provide at least ten (10) days' notice before enabling any third party other than existing Authorized Sub-Processors to access or participate in the processing of Personal Data, by updating the List and notifying Customer at the email address associated with Customer's account. Customer may object to such an engagement by informing InboxPilot in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice, provided such objection is in writing and based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. Customer acknowledges that certain sub-processors are essential to providing the Services and that objecting to the use of a sub-processor may prevent InboxPilot from offering the Services to Customer.
- If Customer reasonably objects to an engagement in accordance with Section 4.2, and InboxPilot cannot provide a commercially reasonable alternative within a reasonable period of time, Customer may discontinue the use of the affected Service by providing written notice to InboxPilot. Discontinuation shall not relieve Customer of any fees owed to InboxPilot under the Agreement.
- If Customer does not object to the engagement of a third party in accordance with Section 4.2 within ten (10) days of notice by InboxPilot, that third party will be deemed an Authorized Sub-Processor for the purposes of this DPA.
- InboxPilot will enter into a written agreement with the Authorized Sub-Processor imposing on the Authorized Sub-Processor data protection obligations comparable to those imposed on InboxPilot under this DPA with respect to the protection of Personal Data. In case an Authorized Sub-Processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement with InboxPilot, InboxPilot will remain liable to Customer for the performance of the Authorized Sub-Processor's obligations under such agreement.
5. Security of Personal Data
- Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, InboxPilot shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing Personal Data. Exhibit C sets forth additional information about InboxPilot's technical and organizational security measures.
6. Transfers of Personal Data
- The parties agree that InboxPilot may transfer Personal Data processed under this DPA outside the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland as necessary to provide the Services. Customer acknowledges that InboxPilot's primary processing operations take place in the United States, and that the transfer of Customer's Personal Data to the United States is necessary for the provision of the Services to Customer. If InboxPilot transfers Personal Data protected under this DPA to a jurisdiction for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision, InboxPilot will ensure that appropriate safeguards have been implemented for the transfer of Personal Data in accordance with Data Protection Laws.
- Ex-EEA Transfers. The parties agree that ex-EEA Transfers are made pursuant to the EU SCCs, which are deemed entered into (and incorporated into this DPA by this reference) and completed as follows:
- Module One (Controller to Controller) of the EU SCCs apply when InboxPilot is processing Personal Data as a controller pursuant to Section 9 of this DPA.
- Module Two (Controller to Processor) of the EU SCCs apply when Customer is a controller and InboxPilot is processing Personal Data for Customer as a processor pursuant to Section 2 of this DPA.
- Module Three (Processor to Sub-Processor) of the EU SCCs apply when Customer is a processor and InboxPilot is processing Personal Data on behalf of Customer as a sub-processor.
- For each module, where applicable the following applies:
- The optional docking clause in Clause 7 does not apply.
- In Clause 9, Option 2 (general written authorization) applies, and the minimum time period for prior notice of sub-processor changes shall be as set forth in Section 4.2 of this DPA;
- In Clause 11, the optional language does not apply;
- In Clause 17 (Option 1), the EU SCCs will be governed by Delaware law.
- In Clause 18(b), disputes will be resolved before the courts of New Castle County, Delaware;
- Exhibit B to this DPA contains the information required in Annex I and Annex III of the EU SCCs;
- Exhibit C to this DPA contains the information required in Annex II of the EU SCCs; and
- By entering into this DPA, the parties are deemed to have signed the EU SCCs incorporated herein, including their Annexes.
- Ex-UK Transfers. The parties agree that ex-UK Transfers are made pursuant to the UK SCCs, which are deemed entered into and incorporated into this DPA by reference, and amended and completed in accordance with the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
- Supplementary Measures. In respect of any ex-EEA Transfer or ex-UK Transfer, InboxPilot shall notify Customer without undue delay if InboxPilot receives a request from a government authority requiring disclosure of Customer's Personal Data, unless such notification is prohibited by law. InboxPilot shall not voluntarily disclose Personal Data to any law enforcement or government agency except as required by law.
7. Rights of Data Subjects
- InboxPilot shall, to the extent permitted by law, notify Customer upon receipt of a request by a Data Subject to exercise the Data Subject's right of access, rectification, erasure, data portability, restriction or cessation of processing, withdrawal of consent to processing, and/or objection to being subject to processing that constitutes automated decision-making (such requests individually and collectively "Data Subject Request(s)"). If InboxPilot receives a Data Subject Request in relation to Customer's data, InboxPilot will advise the Data Subject to submit their request to Customer and Customer will be responsible for responding to such request, including, where necessary, by using the functionality of the Services.
- InboxPilot shall, at the request of the Customer, and taking into account the nature of the processing applicable to any Data Subject Request, apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to assist Customer in complying with Customer's obligation to respond to such Data Subject Request and/or in demonstrating such compliance, where possible, provided that (i) Customer is itself unable to respond without InboxPilot's assistance and (ii) InboxPilot is able to do so in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Customer shall be responsible to the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by InboxPilot.
8. Actions and Access Requests; Audits
- InboxPilot shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to InboxPilot, provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance where necessary for Customer to comply with its obligations under the GDPR to conduct a data protection impact assessment and/or to demonstrate such compliance, provided that Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information. Customer shall be responsible to the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by InboxPilot.
- InboxPilot shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate its compliance with its obligations under this DPA, and retain such records for a period of three (3) years after the termination of the Agreement.
- Upon Customer's written request at reasonable intervals, and subject to reasonable confidentiality controls, InboxPilot shall, either (i) make available for Customer's review copies of certifications or reports demonstrating InboxPilot's compliance with prevailing data security standards applicable to the processing of Customer's Personal Data, or (ii) allow Customer's independent third party representative to conduct an audit or inspection of InboxPilot's data security infrastructure and procedures that is sufficient to demonstrate InboxPilot's compliance with its obligations under Data Protection Laws, provided that (a) Customer provides reasonable prior written notice of any such request for an audit and such inspection shall not be unreasonably disruptive to InboxPilot's business; (b) such audit shall only be performed during business hours and occur no more than once per calendar year; and (c) such audit shall be restricted to data relevant to Customer. Customer shall be responsible for the costs of any such audits or inspections, including without limitation a reimbursement to InboxPilot for any time expended for on-site audits. InboxPilot may satisfy audit requests via SOC 2 Type II or equivalent certification.
- InboxPilot shall immediately notify Customer if an instruction, in InboxPilot's opinion, infringes the Data Protection Laws or Supervisory Authority.

- In the event of a Personal Data Breach, InboxPilot shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to InboxPilot, provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance necessary for Customer to comply with its obligations under the GDPR with respect to notifying (i) the relevant Supervisory Authority and (ii) Data Subjects affected by such Personal Data Breach without undue delay.
- The obligations described in Sections 8.5 and 8.6 shall not apply in the event that a Personal Data Breach results from the actions or omissions of Customer.
9. InboxPilot's Role as a Controller
The parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to InboxPilot Account Data and InboxPilot Usage Data, InboxPilot is an independent controller, not a joint controller with Customer. InboxPilot will process InboxPilot Account Data and InboxPilot Usage Data as a controller (i) to manage the relationship with Customer; (ii) to carry out InboxPilot's core business operations, such as accounting, audits, tax preparation and filing and compliance purposes; (iii) to monitor, investigate, prevent and detect fraud, security incidents and other misuse of the Services, and to prevent harm to Customer; (iv) for identity verification purposes; (v) to comply with legal or regulatory obligations applicable to the processing and retention of Personal Data to which InboxPilot is subject; and (vi) as otherwise permitted under Data Protection Laws and in accordance with this DPA and the Agreement. InboxPilot may also process InboxPilot Usage Data as a controller to provide, optimize, and maintain the Services, to the extent permitted by Data Protection Laws.
