Customer agrees that (i) it shall comply with its obligations as a Controller under Data Protection Laws in respect of its Processing of Personal Information and any Processing instructions it issues to Badger; and (ii) it has provided notice and obtained (or shall obtain) all consents and rights necessary under Data Protection Laws for Badger to Process Personal Information and provide the Services pursuant to the Agreement and this DPA.

c. Badger’s Processing of Customer Data. 

Badger shall Process Customer Data only for the purposes described in this DPA and only in accordance with Customer’s documented, lawful instructions. The parties agree that this DPA and the Agreement set out the Customer’s complete and final instructions to Badger in relation to the Processing of Customer Data under the Agreement and Processing outside the scope of these instructions (if any) shall require prior written agreement between Customer and Badger. Badger is prohibited from: (i) Selling Customer Data; (ii) retaining, using, or disclosing Customer Data for any purpose other than for the specific purpose of performing the Services specified in the Agreement, including retaining, using, or disclosing the Customer Data for a commercial purpose other than providing the Services specified in the Agreement; or (iii) retaining, using, or disclosing the Customer Data outside of the direct business relationship between Customer and Badger. Badger will promptly inform Customer if following Customer’s instructions would result in a violation of Data Protection Law or where Badger must disclose Customer Data in response to a legal obligation, unless the legal obligation prohibits Badger from making such disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3, Badger may Process Customer Data as necessary to detect data security incidents or protect against fraudulent or illegal activity and to build or improve the quality of its products and services, provided that in the course of these activities Badger will not (i) permit any third party (other than Badger’s service providers or except as instructed by Customer) to access Customer Data or (ii) use the Customer Data to modify or add to Personal Information it collected from a source that is not Customer. By signing this Addendum, Badger certifies that it understands and will comply with the obligations herein.

To the extent any such data is considered Personal Information under Data Protection Laws, Badger is the Controller of such Data and accordingly shall Process such Data in accordance with the Badger Privacy Policy and Data Protection Laws. Badger shall have a right to use and disclose this data internally and to third parties for its legitimate business purposes relating to the operation, support, and use of the Services, such as billing, account management, technical support, product development, sales and marketing.

4. Individual Requests

a. Facilitation of Responses. 

The Services provide Customer with a number of controls that Customer may use to retrieve, correct, delete, or restrict Customer Data, which Customer may use to assist it in connection with its obligations under Data Protection Law, including its obligations relating to responding to requests from individuals or applicable data protection authorities. To the extent that Customer is unable to independently access the relevant Customer Data within the Services, Badger shall (at Customer’s expense) provide reasonable cooperation to assist Customer to respond to any requests from individuals or applicable data protection authorities relating to the Processing of Customer Data under the Agreement.

b. Requests Received by Badger. 

Should Badger receive any requests from individuals to exercise their rights to Customer data, Badger shall notify the individual of the need to submit the request directly to Customer, and shall promptly notify Customer of the request, unless Badger is legally prohibited from providing such notification.

a. Requests Received by Badger. 

If a governmental authority (e.g. the Federal Trade Commission, the Attorney General of a U.S. state, or a European data protection authority) sends Badger a demand for Customer Data (for example, through a subpoena or court order), Badger shall attempt to redirect the law enforcement agency to request that data directly from Customer. As part of this effort, Badger may provide Customer’s basic contact information to the governmental authority. If compelled to disclose Customer Data to a governmental authority, then Badger shall give Customer reasonable notice of the demand to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless Badger is legally prohibited from doing so.

b. Cooperation. 

Where required in connection with requests from a government authority, Badger will immediately inform Customer and will reasonably cooperate to provide Customer with records related to its Processing activities in connection with the Agreement, including information on the categories of Customer Data Processed and the purposes of the Processing, the use of Subprocessors with respect to such Processing, any data disclosures or transfers to third parties, and a general description of technical and organizational measures used to protect the security of such data.

6. Subprocessing 

a. Authorized Subprocessors. 

Customer agrees that Badger may engage Subprocessors to Process Customer Data on Customer’s behalf. The Subprocessors currently engaged by Badger and authorized by Customer are listed within Badger’s Privacy Policy. The sub-processors shall, as legally required, comply with art. 28 par. 4 GDPR.

c. Changes to Subprocessors. 

Badger shall (i) provide an up-to-date list of the Subprocessors it has appointed upon written request from Customer; and (ii) notify Customer (for which email shall suffice), if it adds or changes Subprocessors without undue delay. Customer may object in writing to Badger‘s appointment of a new or changed Subprocessor within five (5) calendar days of such notice, provided that such objection is based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. In such event, the parties shall discuss such concerns in good faith with a view to achieving resolution. If this is not possible, Customer may suspend or terminate the Agreement (without prejudice to any fees incurred by Customer prior to suspension or termination).

7. Security

Badger shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect Customer Data from Security Incidents and to preserve the security and confidentiality of the Customer Data, in accordance with Badger’s security standards described in this DPA and within Badger’s Privacy Policy. 

b. Updates to Security Measures. 

Customer is responsible for reviewing the information made available by Badger relating to Data security and making an independent determination as to whether the Services meet Customer’s requirements and legal obligations under Data Protection Laws. Customer acknowledges that the Security Measures are subject to technical progress and development and that Badger may update or modify the Security Measures from time to time provided that such updates and modifications do not result in the degradation of the overall security of the Services purchased by the Customer.

c. Confidentiality of Processing. 

Badger shall ensure that any person who is authorized by Badger to Process Customer Data (including its staff, agents and subcontractors) shall be under an appropriate obligation of confidentiality (whether a contractual or statutory duty).

Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident, Badger shall notify Customer without undue delay and shall provide timely information relating to the Security Incident as it becomes known or as is reasonably requested by Customer.

9. International Transfers

a. Data center locations. 

Badger may transfer and Process Customer Data anywhere in the world where Badger, its Affiliates or its Subprocessors maintain Data Processing operations. Badger shall at all times provide an adequate level of protection for the Customer Data collected, transferred, Processed, or retained in accordance with the requirements of Data Protection Laws. To the extent that Badger or the Customer are relying on a specific statutory mechanism to normalize international data transfers and that mechanism is subsequently revoked, or held in a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, Badger and the Customer agree to cooperate in good faith to pursue a suitable alternate mechanism that can lawfully support the transfer.

b. Transfer Mechanism. 

The parties will comply with Data Protection Law insofar as it requires the parties to use a data transfer mechanism to transfer or access Personal Information internationally. 

10. Return or Deletion of Data

a. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, Badger shall (at Customer’s election) delete (after providing Customer the ability to download, pursuant to the Agreement) all Customer Data (including copies) in its possession or control, save that this requirement shall not apply to the extent Badger is required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Customer Data, which Badger shall securely isolate and store this Data in accordance with applicable retention periods. Badger will protect this Data from any further Processing, except to the extent required by applicable law.

11. Cooperation

a. Badger shall provide reasonably requested information regarding the Services to enable the Customer to carry out data protection impact assessments or prior consultations with data protection authorities as required by law.

Art. 82 GDPR stays unaffected. 

13. Changes to DPA

a. Changes to DPA.
