  2. Processing of Personal Data
    1. Relationship of the parties: The Customer is a Controller of the Personal Data described in Annex 1.B (the "Data") and Superlative shall process the Data solely as a Processor or Service Provider (as applicable) on behalf of the Customer. Superlative and the Customer shall each comply with their respective obligations under Applicable Privacy Laws. Where the concepts of Controller and Processor are not expressly contemplated by Applicable Privacy Laws, the parties' obligations in connection with this Addendum shall be interpreted under those Applicable Privacy Laws to align as closely as possible with the scope of those roles while still complying fully with those Applicable Privacy Laws.
    2. Purpose limitation: Superlative shall process the Data as necessary to perform its obligations under the Agreement and strictly in accordance with the documented instructions of Customer (the "Permitted Purpose"). Superlative must only: (i) retain, use, disclose or otherwise process the Data for the Permitted Purpose (including for its own commercial purpose), except where otherwise required by any law applicable to Superlative; and (ii) must not "sell" the Data within the meaning of the Applicable Privacy Laws. Superlative shall immediately inform Customer if it becomes aware that Customer's processing instructions infringe Applicable Privacy Laws but without obligation to actively monitor Customer's compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws. The parties acknowledge that Customer's transfer of Data to Superlative is not a "sale" of Personal Data within the meaning of Applicable Privacy Laws and Superlative provides no monetary or other valuable consideration to Customer in exchange for the Data.
    3. International transfers: To the extent that Superlative transfers the Data (or permits the Data to be transferred) to a country other than the country in which the Data was first collected, it shall first take such measures as are necessary to ensure that the transfer is made in compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws. Such measures may include (without limitation) transferring the Data to a recipient that has executed standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission, UK Secretary of State or Information Commissioner's Office (as applicable) or transferring the Data to a recipient that has executed a contract with Superlative that ensures the Data will be protected to the standard required by Applicable Privacy Laws. Superlative will also protect the Data in a way that overall provides comparable safeguards to the country in which the Data was first collected.
    4. Standard contractual clauses: To the extent that the transfer of Data from Customer to Superlative involves a Restricted Transfer, the SCCs shall be incorporated by reference and form an integral part of this Addendum with Customer as "data exporter" and Superlative as "data importer". For the purposes of the SCCs: (i) the module two (controller to processor) terms shall apply and the module one, three and four terms shall be deleted in their entirety; (ii) in Clause 9, Option 2 shall apply; (iii) in Clause 11, the optional language shall be deleted; (iv) in Clause 17, Option 1 shall apply and the SCCs shall be governed by Irish law; (v) in Clause 18(b), disputes shall be resolved before the courts of Ireland; (vi) the Annexes of the SCCs shall be populated with the information set out in the Annexes to this DPA; and (vii) if and to the extent the SCCs conflict with any provision of the Agreement (including this DPA), the SCCs shall prevail to the extent of such conflict.
      1. UK transfers: In relation to Data that is protected by the UK GDPR, the SCCs as incorporated under Section 2.4 shall apply with the following modifications: (i) the SCCs shall be amended as specified by the UK Addendum, which shall be incorporated by reference; (ii) Tables 1 to 3 in Part 1 of the UK Addendum shall be deemed completed using the information contained in the Annexes of this DPA; (iii) Table 4 in Part 1 of the UK Addendum shall be deemed completed by selecting "importer"; and (iv) any conflict between the SCCs and the UK Addendum shall be resolved in accordance with Section 10 and Section 11 of the UK Addendum.
      2. Swiss transfers: In relation to Data that is protected by the RevFADP, the SCCs as incorporated under Section 2.4 shall apply with the following modifications: (i) references to "Regulation (EU) 2016/679" shall be interpreted as references the RevFADP; (ii) references to "EU," "Union," and "Member State" shall be replaced with "Switzerland"; (iv) references to the "competent supervisory authority" and "competent courts" shall be interpreted as references to the "Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner" and the "competent Swiss courts"; and (v) the SCCs shall be governed by the laws of Switzerland and disputes shall be resolved before the competent Swiss courts.
    5. Confidentiality of processing: Superlative shall ensure that any person that it authorises to process the Data (including Superlative's staff, agents and subcontractors) (an "Authorised Person") shall be subject to appropriate responsibilities of confidentiality. Superlative shall ensure that all Authorised Persons process the Data only as necessary for the Permitted Purpose.
    6. Security: Superlative shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the Data from the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, access to the Data (a "Security Incident"). At a minimum, such measures shall include the measures identified at the url haveibeenpwned.com/Privacy. Customer acknowledges that Superlative may update or modify the security measures from time to time by publishing these at the url haveibeenpwned.com/Privacy, provided that such updates and modifications do not result in a degradation to the overall level of security.
    7. Sub-processing: Customer authorises Superlative to engage third party Processors ("Sub-processors") to process the Data for the Permitted Purpose provided that:
      1. Superlative provides reasonable prior notice at least 14 days before the proposed addition or replacement of any Sub-processor, in order to allow Customer to raise any reasonable objections on grounds of data protection;
      2. Superlative imposes data protection terms on any Sub-processor it engages that ensure substantially the same standard of protection provided under this Addendum and Superlative remains fully liable for any breach of this Addendum caused by an act, error or omission or the performance of its Sub-processors.
      Superlative's current Sub-processors are identified at Annexure 3. For the purposes of Clause 9(c) of the SCCs, Customer acknowledges that Superlative may be restricted from disclosing Sub-processor agreements to Customer due to confidentiality obligations. Where Superlative cannot disclose a Sub-processor agreement to Customer, Customer shall provide all information (on a confidential basis) it reasonably can in connection with such agreement.
    8. Cooperation and Data Subjects' rights: Superlative shall provide all reasonable and timely assistance to Customer to enable Customer to respond to: (i) any request from a Data Subject to exercise any of their rights under Applicable Privacy Laws; and (ii) any other correspondence, enquiry or complaint received from a Data Subject, data protection authority, regulator or other third party in connection with Superlative's processing of the Data. In the event any such request, correspondence, enquiry or complaint is made directly to Superlative, Superlative shall promptly inform Customer providing full details of the same.
    9. Data Protection Impact Assessment: Superlative shall provide Customer with all such reasonable and timely assistance as Customer may require in order to comply with its obligation under Applicable Privacy Laws to conduct data protection impact assessments and, if necessary, to consult with its relevant data protection authority.
    10. Security Incidents: Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident, Superlative shall inform Customer without undue delay and shall provide all such timely information and reasonable cooperation as Customer may reasonably require in order for Customer to fulfil its data breach reporting obligations under (and in accordance with the timescales required by) Applicable Privacy Laws. Superlative shall further take all such measures and actions as are reasonably necessary to remedy or mitigate the effects of the Security Incident and keep Customer informed of all material developments in connection with the Security Incident. Customer will not communicate or publish any notice or admission of liability concerning any Security Incident which directly or indirectly identifies Superlative (including in any legal proceeding or in any notification to regulatory authorities or affected Data Subjects) without Superlative's prior approval, unless Customer is compelled to do so under applicable law. In any event, Customer shall provide Superlative with reasonable prior written notice of any such communication or publication.
    11. Deletion or return of Data: Upon termination or expiry of the Agreement, Superlative shall (at Customer's election) destroy or return to Customer all Data (including all copies of the Data) in its possession or control. This requirement shall not apply to the extent that Superlative is required by any law to retain some or all of the Data, in which event Superlative shall isolate and protect the Data from any further processing except to the extent required by such law until deletion is possible.
