5.1.1 comply with all applicable Data Protection Laws in the Processing of Company Personal Data; and
5.1.2 not Process Company Personal Data other than on the relevant Company Group Member’s documented instructions unless Processing is required by Applicable Laws to which the relevant Contracted Processor is subject, in which case Vendor or the relevant Vendor Affiliate shall to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws inform the relevant Company Group Member of that legal requirement before the relevant Processing of that Personal Data.
5.2 Each Company Group Member:
5.2.1 instructs Vendor and each Vendor Affiliate (and authorises Vendor and each Vendor Affiliate to instruct each Subprocessor) to:
5.2.1.1 Process Company Personal Data; and

5.3 Section 2 of the DPT sets out certain information regarding the Contracted Processors’ Processing of the Company Personal Data as required by article 28(3) of the GDPR (and, possibly, equivalent requirements of other Data Protection Laws). Nothing in Section 2 confers any right or imposes any obligation on any party to the DPT.
Vendor and each Vendor Affiliate shall take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of any employee, agent or contractor of any Contracted Processor who may have access to the Company Personal Data, ensuring in each case that access is strictly limited to those individuals who need to know / access the relevant Company Personal Data, as strictly necessary for the purposes of the Principal Agreement, and to comply with Applicable Laws in the context of that individual’s duties to the Contracted Processor, ensuring that all such individuals are subject to confidentiality undertakings or professional or statutory obligations of confidentiality.

For the avoidance of doubt, the above general authorization constitutes each Company Group Member’s prior written consent to the subprocessing by Vendor and each Vendor Affiliate for purposes of Clause 11 of the Standard Contractual Clauses.
8.4 Vendor will maintain a list of Subprocessors in the Company’s Interface on the Vendor’s domain and will add the names of new and replacement Subprocessors to the list prior to them starting sub-Processing of Company Personal Data. If the Company has a reasonable objection to any new or replacement Subprocessor, it shall notify Vendor of such objections in writing within ten (10) days of the Subprocessor’s inclusion on the list and the parties will seek to resolve the matter in good faith. If Vendor is reasonably able to provide the Services to Company in accordance with the Principal Agreement without using the Subprocessor and decides in its sole discretion to do so, then Company will have no further rights under this clause 8.4 in respect of the proposed use of the Subprocessor. If Vendor requires use of the Subprocessor in its sole discretion and is unable to satisfy Company as to the suitability of the Subprocessor or the documentation and protections in place between Vendor and the Subprocessor within ninety (90) days from the Company’s notification of objections, the Company may within thirty (30) days following the end of the ninety (90) day period referred to above, terminate the applicable Insertion Order(s) with at least thirty (30) days written notice, solely with respect to the service(s) to which the proposed new Subprocessor’s Processing of Company Personal Data relates. If Company does not provide a timely objection to any new or replacement Subprocessor in accordance with this clause 8.4, Company will be deemed to have consented to the Subprocessor and waived its right to object. Vendor and each Vendor Affiliate and may use a new or replacement Subprocessor whilst the objection procedure in this clause 8.4 is in process.
8.5 With respect to each Subprocessor, Vendor or the relevant Vendor Affiliate shall:
8.5.1 ensure that the arrangement between on the one hand (a) Vendor, or (b) the relevant Vendor Affiliate, or (c) the relevant intermediate Subprocessor; and on the other hand the Subprocessor, is governed by a written contract including terms which offer at least the same level of protection for Company Personal Data as those set out in the DPT and meet the requirements of article 28(3) of the GDPR, and shall remain liable to the Company for the performance of Subprocessor’s obligations;
8.5.2 if that arrangement involves a Restricted Transfer, ensure that the Standard Contractual Clauses are at all relevant times incorporated into the agreement between on the one hand (a) Vendor, or (b) the relevant Vendor Affiliate, or (c) the relevant intermediate Subprocessor; and on the other hand the Subprocessor, or before the Subprocessor first Processes Company Personal Data procure that it enters into an agreement incorporating the Standard Contractual Clauses with the relevant Company Group Member(s) (and Company shall procure that each Company Affiliate party to any such Standard Contractual Clauses cooperates with their population and execution); and

Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Vendor and each Vendor Affiliate shall assist each Company Group Member by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of the Company Group Members’ obligations, as reasonably understood by Company, to respond to requests to exercise Data Subject rights under the Data Protection Laws (including access, rectification, restriction, deletion or portability of Company Personal Data, as applicable).

Company shall be solely responsible for responding to any Data Subject request. Company shall reimburse Vendor for the costs arising from this assistance.
Vendor shall notify Company without undue delay upon Vendor or any Subprocessor becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Company Personal Data, providing Company with sufficient information to allow each Company Group Member to meet any obligations to report or inform Data Subjects of the Personal Data Breach under the Data Protection Laws.
Vendor and each Vendor Affiliate shall provide reasonable assistance to each Company Group Member with any data protection impact assessments, and prior consultations with Supervising Authorities or other competent data privacy authorities, which Company reasonably considers to be required of any Company Group Member by article 35 or 36 of the GDPR or equivalent provisions of any other Data Protection Law, in each case solely in relation to Processing of Company Personal Data by, and taking into account the nature of the Processing and information available to, the Contracted Processors.
12.1 Other than to the extent required to comply with EU Data Protection Law, following termination or expiry of the Principal Agreement, Vendor and each Vendor Affiliate shall promptly delete and procure the deletion of all copies of the Company Personal Data. If Vendor is unable to delete Company Personal Data for technical or other reasons, Vendor will apply measures to ensure that Company Personal Data is blocked from any further Processing.
12.2 Subject to section 12.3, Company may in its absolute discretion by written notice to Vendor within 10 days from the termination or expiry of the Principal Agreement require Vendor and each Vendor Affiliate to (a) return a complete copy of all Company Personal Data to Company by secure file transfer in such format as is reasonably notified by Company to Vendor; and (b) delete and procure the deletion of all other copies of Company Personal Data Processed by any Contracted Processor.
12.3 Each Contracted Processor may retain Company Personal Data to the extent required by Applicable Laws and only to the extent and for such period as required by Applicable Laws and always provided that Vendor and each Vendor Affiliate shall ensure the confidentiality of all such Company Personal Data and shall ensure that such Company Personal Data is only Processed as necessary for the purpose(s) specified in the Applicable Laws requiring its storage and for no other purpose.
13.1 Subject to sections 13.2 and 13.3, Vendor and each Vendor Affiliate shall make available to each Company Group Member on request all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the DPT, and shall allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, by any Company Group Member or an auditor mandated by any Company Group Member in relation to the Processing of the Company Personal Data by the Contracted Processors.
13.2 Information and audit rights of the Company Group Members only arise under section 13.1 to the extent that the Principal Agreement does not otherwise give them information and audit rights meeting the relevant requirements of Data Protection Law (including, where applicable, article 28(3)(h) of the GDPR).
13.3 Company or the relevant Company Affiliate undertaking an audit shall give Vendor or the relevant Vendor Affiliate reasonable notice of any audit or inspection to be conducted under section 13.1 and shall make (and ensure that each of its mandated auditors makes) reasonable endeavours to avoid causing (or, if it cannot avoid, to minimise) any damage, injury or disruption to the Contracted Processors’ premises, equipment, personnel and business while its personnel are on those premises in the course of such an audit or inspection. A Contracted Processor need not give access to its premises for the purposes of such an audit or inspection:
13.3.1 to any individual unless he or she produces reasonable evidence of identity and authority;
13.3.2 outside normal business hours at those premises, unless the audit or inspection needs to be conducted on an emergency basis and Company or the relevant Company Affiliate undertaking an audit has given notice to Vendor or the relevant Vendor Affiliate that this is the case before attendance outside those hours begins; or
13.3.3 for the purposes of more than one audit or inspection, in respect of each Contracted Processor, in any calendar year, except for any additional audits or inspections which:

13.3.3.2 A Company Group Member is required or requested to carry out by Data Protection Law, a Supervisory Authority or any similar regulatory authority responsible for the enforcement of Data Protection Laws in any country or territory,
where Company or the relevant Company Affiliate undertaking an audit has identified its concerns or the relevant requirement or request in its notice to Vendor or the relevant Vendor Affiliate of the audit or inspection.
14.1 Subject to section 14.3, each Company Group Member (as “data exporter”) and each Contracted Processor, as appropriate, (as “data importer”) hereby enter into the Standard Contractual Clauses in respect of any Restricted Transfer from that Company Group Member to that Contracted Processor.
14.2 The Standard Contractual Clauses shall come into effect under section 14.1 on the later of:
14.2.1 the data exporter becoming a party to them;
14.2.2 the data importer becoming a party to them; and
14.2.3 commencement of the relevant Restricted Transfer.
14.3 Section 14.1 shall not apply to a Restricted Transfer unless its effect, together with other reasonably practicable compliance steps (which, for the avoidance of doubt, do not include obtaining consents from Data Subjects), is to allow the relevant Restricted Transfer to take place without breach of applicable Data Protection Law.
15.1 Without prejudice to clauses 7 (Mediation and Jurisdiction) and 9 (Governing Law) of the Standard Contractual Clauses:
15.1.1 the parties to the DPT hereby submit to the choice of jurisdiction stipulated in the Principal Agreement with respect to any disputes or claims howsoever arising under the DPT, including disputes regarding its existence, validity or termination or the consequences of its nullity; and
15.1.2 the DPT and all non-contractual or other obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by the laws of the country or territory stipulated for this purpose in the Principal Agreement.
15.2 Nothing in the DPT reduces Vendor’s or any Vendor Affiliate’s obligations under the Principal Agreement in relation to the protection of Personal Data or permits Vendor or any Vendor Affiliate to Process (or permit the Processing of) Personal Data in a manner which is prohibited by the Principal Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the DPT and the Standard Contractual Clauses, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail.
15.3 Subject to section 15.2, with regard to the subject matter of the DPT, in the event of inconsistencies between the provisions of the DPT and any other agreements between the parties, including the Principal Agreement and including (except where explicitly agreed otherwise in writing, signed on behalf of the parties) agreements entered into or purported to be entered into after the date of the DPT, the provisions of the DPT shall prevail.
15.4 Company may:
15.4.1 by at least 30 (thirty) calendar days’ written notice to Vendor from time to time make any variations to the Standard Contractual Clauses (including any Standard Contractual Clauses entered into under section 14.1), as they apply to Restricted Transfers which are subject to a particular Data Protection Law, which are required, as a result of any change in, or decision of a competent authority under, that Data Protection Law, to allow those Restricted Transfers to be made (or continue to be made) without breach of that Data Protection Law; and
15.4.2 propose any other variations to the DPT which Company reasonably considers to be necessary to address the requirements of any Data Protection Law.
15.5 If Company gives notice under section 15.4.1:
15.5.1 Vendor and each Vendor Affiliate shall promptly cooperate (and ensure that any affected Subprocessors promptly cooperate) to ensure that equivalent variations are made to any agreement put in place under section 8.5.2; and
15.5.2 Company shall not unreasonably withhold or delay agreement to any consequential variations to the DPT proposed by Vendor to protect the Contracted Processors against additional risks associated with the variations made under section 15.4.1 and/or 15.5.1.
15.6 If Company gives notice under section 15.4.2, the parties shall promptly discuss the proposed variations and negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing and implementing those or alternative variations designed to address the requirements identified in Company’s notice as soon as is reasonably practicable.
15.7 Neither Company nor Vendor shall require the consent or approval of any Company Affiliate or Vendor Affiliate to amend the DPT pursuant to this section 15.5 or otherwise.
15.8 Should any provision of the DPT be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of the DPT shall remain valid and in force. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be either (i) amended as necessary to ensure its validity and enforceability, while preserving the parties’ intentions as closely as possible or, if this is not possible, (ii) construed in a manner as if the invalid or unenforceable part had never been contained therein.
These Clauses are deemed to be amended from time to time, to the extent that they relate to a Restricted Transfer which is subject to the Data Protection Laws of a given country or territory, to reflect (to the extent possible without material uncertainty as to the result) any change (including any replacement) made in accordance with those Data Protection Laws (i) by the Commission to or of the equivalent contractual clauses approved by the Commission under EU Directive 95/46/EC or the GDPR (in the case of the Data Protection Laws of the European Union or a Member State); or (ii) by an equivalent competent authority to or of any equivalent contractual clauses approved by it or by another competent authority under another Data Protection Law (otherwise).
For the purposes of Article 26(2) of Directive 95/46/EC for the transfer of personal data to processors established in third countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection.
Both parties have agreed on the following Contractual Clauses (the Clauses) in order to adduce adequate safeguards with respect to the protection of privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals for the transfer by the data exporter to the data importer of the personal data specified in Section 2 of the DPT.
The data exporter has entered into a data processing DPT (“DPA”) with the data importer. Pursuant to the terms of the DPA, it is contemplated that services provided by the data importer will involve the transfer of personal data to data importer. Data importer is located in a country not ensuring an adequate level of data protection. To ensure compliance with Directive 95/46/EC and applicable data protection law, the controller agrees to the provision of such Services, including the processing of personal data incidental thereto, subject to the data importer’s execution of, and compliance with, the terms of these Clauses.
For the purposes of the Clauses:
The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of the Clauses.
3.1 The data subject can enforce against the data exporter this Clause, Clause 4(b) to (i), Clause 5(a) to (e), and (g) to (j), Clause 6(1) and (2), Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12 as third-party beneficiary.
3.2 The data subject can enforce against the data importer this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where the data exporter has factually disappeared or has ceased to exist in law unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law, as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity.
3.3 The data subject can enforce against the subprocessor this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
3.4 The parties do not object to a data subject being represented by an association or other body if the data subject so expressly wishes and if permitted by national law.
The data exporter agrees and warrants:
The data importer agrees and warrants:
6.1 The parties agree that any data subject, who has suffered damage as a result of any breach of the obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 by any party or subprocessor is entitled to receive compensation from the data exporter for the damage suffered.
6.2 If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract of by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.
The data importer may not rely on a breach by a subprocessor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.
6.3 If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the subprocessor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data subprocessor with regard to its own processing operations under the Clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
7.1 The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:
7.2 The parties agree that the choice made by the data subject will not prejudice its substantive or procedural rights to seek remedies in accordance with other provisions of national or international law.
8.1 The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.
8.2 The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any subprocessor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.
8.3 The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any subprocessor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any subprocessor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.
11.1 The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the subprocessor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor’s obligations under such agreement.
11.2 The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
11.3 The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
11.4 The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5 (j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter’s data protection supervisory authority.
12.1 The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
12.2 The data importer and the subprocessor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary otherwise agreed to by data exporter, Contracted Processor may modify or update these practices at its discretion provided that such modification and update does not result in a material degradation in the protection offered by these practices. All capitalised terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings as set forth in the Principal Agreement.
1. Preventing Unauthorised Product Access
Outsourced processing: Contracted Processor hosts its Services with outsourced (cloud) infrastructure providers. Additionally, Contracted Processor maintains contractual relationships with contractors in order to provide the Services in accordance with the DPT. Contracted Processor relies on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and contractor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these contractors.
Physical and environmental security: Contracted Processor hosts its product infrastructure on dedicated servers with outsourced infrastructure providers. The physical and environmental security controls are audited for ISO 27001 compliance, among other certifications.
Authentication: Contracted Processor implemented a uniform password policy for its Company products. Clients who interact with the products via the Interface must authenticate before accessing non-public Company data.
Authorisation: Client data is stored in multi-tenant storage systems accessible to Company via only application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Clients are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure. The authorisation model is designed to ensure that only the appropriately assigned individuals can access relevant features, views, and customisation options. Authorisation to data sets is performed through validating the user’s permissions against the attributes associated with each data set.
Application Programming Interface (API) access: Public product APIs may be accessed using an API token.
2. Preventing Unauthorised Product Use
Contracted Processor implements industry standard access controls and detection capabilities for the internal networks that support its products.
Intrusion detection and prevention: Contracted Processor implemented a Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution to protect its internet-accessible applications. The WAF is designed to identify and prevent attacks against publicly available network services.
Static code analysis: Security reviews of code stored in Contracted Processor’s source code repositories is performed, checking for coding best practices and identifiable software flaws.
3. Limitations of Privilege & Authorization Requirements
Product access: Contracted Processor’s employees have access to the products and to Company data via controlled interfaces. The intent of providing access to employees is to provide effective Company support, to troubleshoot potential problems, to detect and respond to security incidents and implement data security.
4. Separation of Processed Data
Contracted Processor collects cookie identifiers, tracking identifiers and device identifiers for the sole purpose of accurately tracking the success of the Company’s advertising campaigns and to attribute their success to the right publisher. Any identifier that is redundant for this purpose can be separately excluded from collection.
In-transit: Contracted Processor makes HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS) available on every one of its login interfaces. Contracted Processor’s HTTPS implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates.
At-rest: Contracted Processor stores user passwords following policies that follow industry standard practices for security. IP addresses are anonymised by data masking, device identifiers and tracking identifiers are pseudonymised by hashing.
Detection: Contracted Processor designed its infrastructure to log extensive information about the system behaviour, traffic received, system authentication, and other application requests. Internal systems aggregated log data and alert appropriate employees of malicious, unintended, or anomalous activities. Contracted Processor personnel are responsive to known incidents.
Response and tracking: Contracted Processor maintains a record of known security incidents that includes description, dates and times of relevant activities, and incident disposition. Suspected and confirmed security incidents are investigated by support personnel; and appropriate resolution steps are identified and documented. For any confirmed incidents, Contracted Processor will take appropriate steps to minimise product and Company damage or unauthorised disclosure.
Communication: If Contracted Processor becomes aware of unlawful access to Company data stored within its products, Contracted Processor will: 1) notify the affected Company of the incident; 2) provide a description of the steps Contracted Processor is taking to resolve the incident; and 3) provide status updates to the Company contact, as Contracted Processor deems necessary. Notification(s) of incidents, if any, will be delivered to one or more of the Company’s contacts in a form Contracted Processor selects, which may include via email or telephone.
Infrastructure availability: The infrastructure providers use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a minimum of 99.9% uptime.
Fault tolerance: Backup and replication strategies are designed to ensure redundancy and failover protections during a significant processing failure. Client data is backed up to multiple durable data stores.
Online replicas and backups: Where feasible, production databases are designed to replicate data between no less than 1 primary and 1 secondary database. All databases are backed up and maintained using at least industry standard methods.
Contracted Processor’s products are designed to ensure redundancy and seamless failover. The server instances that support the products are also architected with a goal to prevent single points of failure. This design assists Contracted Processor in maintaining and updating the product applications and backend while limiting downtime.
