1.3 Deletion of Personal Data. ClipSocial shall delete or return the Personal Data at the end of the provision of the Services under the Standard Terms, to the extent reasonably possible, and unless applicable law requires the retention of such Personal Data by ClipSocial.
1.4 Customer’s Obligations. The Customer represents, warrants, and covenants that all Personal Data Processed by ClipSocial has been and shall be collected and processed by the Customer in accordance with Data Protection Laws including without limitation: (a) ensuring that all notifications to and approvals from regulators which are required by Data Protection Laws are made and maintained by the Customer; and (b) ensuring that all Personal Data is collected and processed fairly and lawfully; all Personal Data is accurate and up to date; Customer has provided and shall maintain adequate notice to Data Subjects, such notice shall include without limitation, a description of the Processing to be undertaken by ClipSocial pursuant to the Services provided under the Standard Terms.
2. RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS
2.1 Correction, Blocking and Deletion. To the extent Customer, in its use of the Services, does not have the ability to correct, amend, block or delete Personal Data, as required by Data Protection Laws, ClipSocial will comply with commercially reasonable requests made directly by Customer to ClipSocial to facilitate such actions to the extent ClipSocial is legally permitted to do so. To the extent legally permitted, Customer shall be responsible for the service hours incurred and any costs arising from ClipSocial’ provision of such assistance.
2.2 Data Subject Requests. ClipSocial shall, to the extent legally permitted, notify Customer as soon as reasonably practicable if it receives any request or communication relating to a request by a Data Subject or a Data Subject’s representative, to exercise rights granted under the Data Protection Laws (“Data Subject Request”), in relation to the Personal Data Processed under the Standard Terms. ClipSocial shall not respond to any such Data Subject Request without Customer’s prior written consent except to confirm that the request relates to Customer. In the event ClipSocial receives a Data Subject Request directly from a Data Subject, ClipSocial shall direct the Data Subject to Customer, unless prohibited by applicable law. In all instances of Data Subject Requests, ClipSocial shall co-operate with the Customer and take such reasonable commercial steps as are directed by the Customer to enable the Customer to comply with a Data Subject Request or comply with any assessment, enquiry, notice or investigation under the Data Protection Laws, provided in each case that the Customer shall reimburse ClipSocial in full for all costs (including for internal resources and any third party costs) reasonably incurred by ClipSocial performing its obligations under this Section. To the extent legally permitted, Customer shall be responsible for the service hours incurred (and any third-party costs) reasonably incurred by ClipSocial performing its obligations under this Section 2.2.
3. PERSONNEL
3.1 Confidentiality. ClipSocial shall ensure that its personnel engaged in the Processing of or have access to Personal Data are informed of the confidential nature of the Personal Data, have received appropriate training on their responsibilities and have executed written confidentiality agreements or are subject to professional or statutory obligations of confidentiality. ClipSocial shall ensure that such confidentiality obligations survive the termination of the personnel engagement.
3.2 Limitation of Access. ClipSocial shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Personal Data is limited to its personnel who require such access to perform the Standard Terms and/or any Order Forms.
4. SUB-PROCESSORS
4.1 Appointment of Sub-processors. Customer grants a general authorization: (a) to ClipSocial to appoint ClipSocial Affiliates as Sub-processors, and (b) to ClipSocial and its Affiliates to appoint third party data center operators, and outsourced marketing, business, engineering and customer support providers as sub-processors to support the performance of the Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that ClipSocial’ Sub-processors, including ClipSocial Affiliates, may engage third-party Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Hosted Services.
4.2 Changes to Sub-processors. ClipSocial will maintain a list of sub-processors on its website and will add the names of new and replacement Sub-processors to the list prior to them starting sub-processing of Personal Data. If the Customer has a reasonable objection to any new or replacement Sub-processor, it shall notify ClipSocial of such objections in writing within ten (10) days of the notification, and the parties will seek to resolve the matter in good faith. If ClipSocial is reasonably able to provide the Services to the Customer in accordance with the Agreement without using the Sub-processor, and decides in its discretion to do so, then the Customer will have no further rights under this Section 4.2 with respect to the proposed use of the Sub-processor. If ClipSocial requires use of the Sub-processor, as determined in its discretion, and is unable to satisfy the Customer as to the suitability of the sub-processor or the documentation and protections in place between ClipSocial and the sub-processor within ninety (90) days from the Customer’s notification of objections, the Customer may within thirty (30) days following the end of the ninety (90) day period referred to above, terminate the applicable Order with at least thirty (30) days written notice, solely with respect to the service(s) to which the proposed new sub-processor’s processing of Personal Data relates. If the Customer does not provide a timely objection to any new or replacement Sub-processor in accordance with this Section 4.2, the Customer will be deemed to have consented to the Sub-processor and waived its right to object. ClipSocial may use a new or replacement Sub-processor whilst the objection procedure in this Section 4.2 is in process.
4.3 Sub-processor Terms. ClipSocial will ensure that any Sub-processor it engages to provide an aspect of the Services on its behalf in connection with this DPA, is subject to a written contract which imposes on such Sub-processor terms that are substantially no less protective of Personal Data than those imposed on ClipSocial in this DPA (the “Relevant Terms”). ClipSocial shall be liable to the Customer for any breach by such person of any of the Relevant Terms.
5. SECURITY
5.1 Controls for the Protection of Personal Data. ClipSocial shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing of the Personal Data as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
5.2 Security Questionnaires and Audits. Upon Customer’s written request at reasonable intervals not to exceed once in any six-month period, ClipSocial will provide a copy of ClipSocial’ then most recent third-party audits or certifications, as applicable, or any summaries thereof, that ClipSocial generally makes available to its customers at the time of such request. Additionally, on reasonable request and at Customer’s expense, ClipSocial shall co-operate in the conduct of any audit or inspection, reasonably necessary to demonstrate ClipSocial’ compliance with the obligations laid down in this DPA, provided always that this requirement shall not oblige ClipSocial to provide or permit access to information concerning (i) ClipSocial internal pricing information; (ii) information relating to ClipSocial’ other customers; (iii) any of ClipSocial non-public external reports; or (iv) any internal reports prepared by ClipSocial’ internal audit function. Customer will give ClipSocial reasonable notice of any audit or inspection to be conducted and shall avoid causing any damage, injury or disruption to ClipSocial’ equipment, personnel and business in the course of such an audit or inspection.

6. SECURITY BREACH MANAGEMENT AND NOTIFICATION
ClipSocial maintains security incident management policies and procedures and shall, to the extent permitted by law, upon becoming aware of a data breach involving the Personal Data: (a) notify the Customer without undue delay; and (b) co-operate with the Customer and take such reasonable commercial steps as are directed by the Customer to assist in the investigation, mitigation and remediation of that data breach, provided in each case that unless the data breach is a result of ClipSocial’ violation of the requirements of this DPA, the Customer shall reimburse ClipSocial in full for all costs (including for internal resources and any third party costs) reasonably incurred by ClipSocial in performing the obligations under this Section 6.

7.1 Application of Standard Contractual Clauses. In providing the Hosted Services, ClipSocial and its Sub-processors may Process Personal Data from within the European Economic Area (EEA), to countries outside of the EEA, including in the United States, which are not subject to adequacy decision by the European Commission, where such transfer would be prohibited by Data Protection Laws or maintain data processing operations outside the EEA. Where applicable, the Standard Contractual Clauses in Attachment 1 (the “Standard Contractual Clauses”), hereby incorporated into this DPA, and the additional terms in this Section 7 apply to the Processing of Personal Data by ClipSocial in the course of providing the Hosted Services:

Data Importer shall provide Data Exporter with notice of any new Sub-processor(s) that are not ClipSocial Affiliates to Process Personal Data that are to be utilized by ClipSocial in connection with the provision of the Hosted Services at least ten (10) business days prior to such utilization.
7.4.2 Objection Right for new Sub-processors. If Data Exporter has a reasonable basis to object to Data Importer’s use of such new Sub-processor, Data Exporter shall notify Data Importer promptly in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt of Data Importer’s notice. In the event Data Exporter objects to a new Sub-processor(s) and that objection is not unreasonable Data Importer will use reasonable efforts to make available to Data Exporter a change in the affected Hosted Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Data Exporter’s configuration or use of the affected Hosted Services to avoid processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub processor without unreasonably burdening Data Exporter. If the objection is not unreasonable and if Data Importer is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed sixty (60) days, Data Exporter may terminate the applicable Order(s) in respect only to those Hosted Services which cannot be provided by Data Importer without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor, by providing written notice to Data Importer. Data Exporter shall receive a refund of any prepaid fees for the period following the effective date of termination in respect of such terminated Hosted Services.
7.4.3 Sub-processor Agreements. The parties agree that the copies of the Sub-processor agreements that must be sent by the Data Importer to the Data Exporter pursuant to Clause 5(j) of the Standard Contractual Clauses may have all commercial information, or clauses unrelated to the Standard Contractual Clauses or their equivalent, removed by the Data Importer beforehand; and, that such copies will be provided by Data Importer only upon reasonable request by Data Exporter.
7.5 Audits and Certifications. The parties agree that the audits described in Clause 5(f), Clause 11 and Clause 12(2) of the Standard Contractual Clauses shall be carried out in accordance with the following specifications: Upon data exporter’s request, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Standard Terms, Data Importer shall make available to Data Exporter (or Data Exporter’s independent, third-party auditor that is not a competitor of ClipSocial) information regarding ClipSocial’s compliance with the obligations set forth in this DPA in the form of the third- party certifications and audits set forth in the security and privacy documentation to the extent ClipSocial makes them generally available to its customers. Customer may contact ClipSocial in accordance with the “Notices” Section of the Standard Terms to request an on-site audit of the procedures relevant to the protection of Personal Data in accordance with the Audit provisions of the Standard Terms. Customer shall reimburse ClipSocial for any time expended for any such on-site audit at ClipSocial’s then-current professional services rates, which shall be made available to Data Exporter upon request. Before the commencement of any such on-site audit, Data Exporter and Data Importer shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit in addition to the reimbursement rate for which Data Exporter shall be responsible. All reimbursement rates shall be reasonable, taking into account the resources expended by Data Importer. Data Exporter shall promptly notify Data Importer with information regarding any non-compliance discovered during the course of an audit.
7.6 Certification of Deletion. The parties agree that the certification of deletion of Personal Data that is described in Clause 12(1) of the Standard Contractual Clauses shall be provided by the data importer to the data exporter only upon data exporter’s request.

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.
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).
CLAUSE 9
Governing Law
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
CLAUSE 10
Variation of the contract
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.
CLAUSE 11
Subprocessing
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.
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.
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.
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.
CLAUSE 12
Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services
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.
