Adlumin Inc.

GDPR Data Processing Addendum

This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) supplements the ADLUMIN Customer End User License Agreement (EULA) available in the Adlumin Portal under Resources in the Downloads section as updated from time to time between Customer and ADLUMIN, or other agreement between Customer and ADLUMIN governing Customer’s use of the Services (the “Agreement”). This DPA is an agreement between you and the entity you represent (“Customer”, “you” or “your”) and Amazon Web Services, Inc. and the ADLUMIN Contracting Party or ADLUMIN Contracting Parties (as applicable) under the Agreement (together “ADLUMIN”). Unless otherwise defined in this DPA or in the Agreement, all capitalized terms used in this DPA will have the meanings given to them in Section 17 of this DPA.

1. Data Processing.

1.1 Scope and Roles. This DPA applies when Customer Data is processed by ADLUMIN. In this context, ADLUMIN will act as a processor to Customer, who can act either as controller or processor of Customer Data.

1.2 Customer Controls. Customer can use the Service Controls to assist it with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law, including its obligations to respond to requests from data subjects. Considering the nature of the processing, Customer agrees that it is unlikely that ADLUMIN would become aware that Customer Data transferred under the Standard Contractual Clauses is inaccurate or outdated. Nonetheless, if ADLUMIN becomes aware that Customer Data transferred under the Standard Contractual Clauses is inaccurate or outdated, it will inform Customer without undue delay. ADLUMIN will cooperate with Customer to erase or rectify inaccurate or outdated Customer Data transferred under the Standard Contractual Clauses by providing the Service Controls that Customer can use to erase or rectify Customer Data.

1.3 Details of Data Processing.

1.3.1 Subject matter. The subject matter of the data processing under this DPA is Customer Data.

1.3.2 Duration. As between ADLUMIN and Customer, the duration of the data processing under this DPA is determined by Customer.

1.3.3 Purpose. The purpose of the data processing under this DPA is the provision of the Services initiated by Customer from time to time.

1.3.4 Nature of the processing. Compute, storage and such other Services as described in the Documentation and initiated by Customer from time to time.

1.3.5 Type of Customer Data. Customer Data uploaded to the Services under Customer’s ADLUMIN accounts.

1.3.6 Categories of data subjects. The data subjects could include Customer’s customers, employees, suppliers and End Users.

1.4 Compliance with Adlumin. Each party will comply with all Adlumin, rules and regulations applicable to it and binding on it in the performance of this DPA, including Applicable Data Protection Law.

2. Customer Instructions. The parties agree that this DPA and the Agreement (including Customer providing instructions via configuration tools such as the ADLUMIN Dashboard and APIs made available by ADLUMIN for the Services) constitute Customer’s documented instructions regarding ADLUMIN’s processing of Customer Data (“Documented Instructions”). ADLUMIN will process Customer Data only in accordance with Documented Instructions (which if Customer is acting as a processor, could be based on the instructions of its controllers). Additional instructions outside the scope of the Documented Instructions (if any) require prior written agreement between ADLUMIN and Customer, including agreement on any additional fees payable by Customer to ADLUMIN for carrying out such instructions. Customer is entitled to terminate this DPA and the Agreement if ADLUMIN declines to follow instructions requested by Customer that are outside the scope of, or changed from, those given or agreed to be given in this DPA. Taking into account the nature of the processing, Customer agrees that it is unlikely ADLUMIN can form an opinion on whether Documented Instructions infringe Applicable Data Protection Law. If ADLUMIN forms such an opinion, it will immediately inform Customer, in which case, Customer is entitled to withdraw or modify its Documented Instructions.

3. Confidentiality of Customer Data. ADLUMIN will not access or use, or disclose to any third party, any Customer Data, except, in each case, as necessary to maintain or provide the Services, or as necessary to comply with the law or a valid and binding order of a governmental body (such as a subpoena or court order). If a governmental body sends ADLUMIN a demand for Customer Data, ADLUMIN will attempt to redirect the governmental body to request that data directly from Customer. As part of this effort, ADLUMIN may provide Customer’s basic contact information to the governmental body. If compelled to disclose Customer Data to a governmental body, then ADLUMIN will give Customer reasonable notice of the demand to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless ADLUMIN is legally prohibited from doing so.

4. Confidentiality Obligations of ADLUMIN Personnel. ADLUMIN restricts its personnel from processing Customer Data without authorization by ADLUMIN as described in the Security Standards. ADLUMIN imposes appropriate contractual obligations upon its personnel, including relevant obligations regarding confidentiality, data protection, and data security.

5. Security of Data Processing

5.1 ADLUMIN has implemented and will maintain the technical and organizational measures for the ADLUMIN Network as described in the Security Standards and this Section. In particular, ADLUMIN has implemented and will maintain the following technical and organizational measures:

  1. security of the ADLUMIN Network as set out in Section 1.1 of the Security Standards;
  2. physical security of the facilities as set out in Section 1.2 of the Security Standards;
  3. measures to control access rights for authorized personnel to the ADLUMIN Network as set out in Section 1.3 of the Security Standards; and
  4. processes for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organizational measures implemented by ADLUMIN as described in Section 2 of the Security Standards.

5.2 Customer can elect to implement technical and organizational measures to protect Customer Data. Such technical and organizational measures include the following which can be obtained by Customer from ADLUMIN as described in the Documentation, or directly from a third-party supplier:

  1. pseudonymization and encryption to ensure an appropriate level of security;
  2. measures to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of the processing systems and services that are operated by Customer; measures to allow Customer to backup and archive appropriately in order to restore availability and access to Customer Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and
  3. processes for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organizational measures implemented by Customer.
  4. processes for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organizational measures implemented by ADLUMIN as described in Section 2 of the Security Standards.

6. Sub-processing.

6.1 Authorized Sub-processors. Customer provides general authorization to ADLUMIN’s use of sub-processors to provide processing activities on Customer Data on behalf of Customer (“Sub-processors”) in accordance with this Section. ADLUMIN does not currently have any Sub-processors. At least 30 days before ADLUMIN engages a Sub-processor, ADLUMIN will update the applicable documents in the Adlumin Portal and provide Customer with a mechanism to obtain notice of that update.

6.2 Sub-Processor Obligations. Where ADLUMIN authorizes a Sub-processor as described in Section 6.1:

(i) ADLUMIN will restrict the Sub-processor’s access to Customer Data only to what is necessary to provide or maintain the Services in accordance with the Documentation, and ADLUMIN will prohibit the Sub-processor from accessing Customer Data for any other purpose;

(ii) ADLUMIN will remain responsible for its compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of the Sub-processor that cause ADLUMIN to breach any of ADLUMIN’s obligations under this DPA.

7. Security Incident Notification.

7.1 Security Incident. ADLUMIN will (a) notify Customer of a Security Incident without undue delay after becoming aware of the Security Incident, and (b) take appropriate measures to address the Security Incident, including measures to mitigate any adverse effects resulting from the Security Incident.

7.2 ADLUMIN Assistance. To enable Customer to notify a Security Incident to supervisory authorities or data subjects (as applicable), ADLUMIN will cooperate with and assist Customer by including in the notification under Section 9.1(a) such information about the Security Incident as ADLUMIN is able to disclose to Customer, taking into account the nature of the processing, the information available to ADLUMIN, and any restrictions on disclosing the information, such as confidentiality. Taking into account the nature of the processing, Customer agrees that it is best able to determine the likely consequences of a Security Incident.

7.3 Unsuccessful Security Incidents. Customer agrees that:

  • an unsuccessful Security Incident will not be subject to this Section 9. An unsuccessful Security Incident is one that results in no unauthorized access to Customer Data or to any of ADLUMIN’s equipment or facilities storing Customer Data, and could include, without limitation, pings and other broadcast attacks on firewalls or edge servers, port scans, unsuccessful log-on attempts, denial of service attacks, packet sniffing (or other unauthorized access to traffic data that does not result in access beyond headers) or similar incidents; and
  • ADLUMIN’s obligation to report or respond to a Security Incident under this Section 9 is not and will not be construed as an acknowledgment by ADLUMIN of any fault or liability of ADLUMIN with respect to the Security Incident.

7.4 Communication. Notification(s) of Security Incidents, if any, will be delivered to one or more of Customer’s administrators by any means ADLUMIN selects, including via email. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure Customer’s administrators maintain accurate contact information on the ADLUMIN management console and secure transmission at all times.

7.5 Notification Obligations. If ADLUMIN notifies Customer of a Security Incident, or Customer otherwise becomes aware of any accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Customer Data, Customer will be responsible for (a) determining if there is any resulting notification or other obligation under Applicable Data Protection Law and (b) taking necessary action to comply with those obligations. This does not limit ADLUMIN’s obligations under this Section 9.

8. ADLUMIN Certifications and Audits.

8.1 ADLUMIN SOC Reports. In addition to the information contained in this DPA, upon Customer’s request, and provided that the parties have an applicable NDA in place, ADLUMIN will make available the following documents and information:

  • the System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 2.

8.2 Privacy Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation. Taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to ADLUMIN, ADLUMIN will assist Customer in complying with Customer’s obligations in respect of data protection impact assessments and prior consultation, by providing the information ADLUMIN makes available under this Section 10.

9. Transfers of Personal Data.

9.1 Regions. ADLUMIN processes all of its data in the Amazon Web Services in Frankfurt, Germany; Dublin, Ireland; London, United Kingdom, Sydney, Australia; and US-West-2 Region in Oregon.

9.2 Application of Standard Contractual Clauses. Subject to Section 12.3, the Standard Contractual Clauses will only apply to Customer Data subject to the GDPR that is transferred, either directly or via onward transfer, to any Third Country (each a “Data Transfer”).

9.2.1 When Customer is acting as a controller, the Controller-to-Processor Clauses will apply to a Data Transfer.

9.2.2 When Customer is acting as a processor, the Processor-to-Processor Clauses will apply to a Data Transfer. Taking into account the nature of the processing, Customer agrees that it is unlikely that ADLUMIN will know the identity of Customer’s controllers because ADLUMIN has no direct relationship with Customer’s controllers and therefore, Customer will fulfill ADLUMIN’s obligations to Customer’s controllers under the Processor-to-Processor Clauses.

10. Alternative Transfer Mechanism. The Standard Contractual Clauses will not apply to a Data Transfer if ADLUMIN has adopted Binding Corporate Rules for Processors or an alternative recognized compliance standard for lawful Data Transfers.

11. Termination of the DPA. This DPA will continue in force until the termination of the Agreement (the “Termination Date”).

12. Return or Deletion of Customer Data. At any time up to the Termination Date, and for 90 days following the Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, ADLUMIN will return or delete Customer Data when Customer uses the Service Controls to request such return or deletion. No later than the end of this 90-day period, Customer will close all ADLUMIN accounts containing Customer Data.

13. Duties to Inform. Where Customer Data becomes subject to confiscation during bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, or similar measures by third parties while being processed by ADLUMIN, ADLUMIN will inform Customer without undue delay. ADLUMIN will, without undue delay, notify all relevant parties in such action (for example, creditors, bankruptcy trustee) that any Customer Data subjected to those proceedings is Customer’s property and area of responsibility and that Customer Data is at Customer’s sole disposition.

14. Entire Agreement; Conflict. This DPA incorporates the Standard Contractual Clauses by reference. Except as amended by this DPA, the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If there is a conflict between the Agreement and this DPA, the terms of this DPA will control, except that the Service Terms will control over this DPA. Nothing in this document varies or modifies the Standard Contractual Clauses.
