2) Role of the Parties & Scope
(a) Roles. For the Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement, Customer is the Controller/Business and CPB is the Processor/Service Provider.
(b) Purpose Limitation. CPB will Process Personal Data solely (i) to provide, secure, and improve the Services; (ii) to perform obligations under the Agreement; and (iii) as otherwise instructed in documented, lawful instructions from Customer.
(c) Customer Responsibilities. Customer is responsible for: (i) the accuracy, quality, and lawfulness of Personal Data and the means by which Customer acquired Personal Data; (ii) providing all necessary notices and obtaining all necessary consents; and (iii) configuring the Services and using available controls to comply with Data Protection Laws.
3) CPB Processing Obligations
(a) Instructions. CPB will Process Personal Data only on documented instructions from Customer. The Agreement and this DPA constitute Customer’s complete instructions; additional instructions require prior written agreement.
(b) Confidentiality. CPB will ensure personnel authorized to Process Personal Data are bound by confidentiality obligations and receive appropriate privacy and security training.
(c) Security. CPB will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures (the “Security Measures” ) described in Annex II .
(d) Subprocessors. Customer authorizes CPB to engage Subprocessors. The current Subprocessors are listed in Annex III below. CPB will impose data protection terms on Subprocessors providing at least the same level of protection as this DPA and remains responsible for their performance.
(e) Data Subject Requests. Taking into account the nature of the Processing, CPB will provide reasonable assistance to Customer in responding to requests from data subjects to exercise their rights under Data Protection Laws (e.g., access, rectification, deletion, porting, objection), via tools and processes made available through the Services or upon written request.
(f) Security Incidents. CPB will notify Customer without undue delay and, where feasible, within 72 hours after becoming aware of a Security Incident affecting Personal Data. Such notice will include information reasonably available to CPB at the time. CPB will take reasonable steps to investigate, mitigate, and remediate the Security Incident.
(g) Data Protection Impact Assessments. CPB will provide reasonable cooperation and information to support Customer’s data protection impact assessments, prior consultation, or similar obligations, to the extent related to the Services and CPB’s Processing of Personal Data.
(h) Return or Deletion. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, CPB will, at Customer’s choice, return or delete Personal Data (unless storage is required by law). Where deletion is requested, CPB will delete within 30 days of request or as otherwise agreed in writing.
4) International Transfers
(a) Restricted Transfers. Where CPB’s Processing involves a transfer of Personal Data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to a country not deemed to provide an adequate level of protection, the parties agree the transfer will be governed by the relevant transfer mechanism below.
(b) EEA Transfers. The parties incorporate the SCCs, Module 2 (Controller→Processor) , with Customer as the Data Exporter and CPB as the Data Importer. The SCCs are deemed completed as follows: (i) Clause 7 (Docking) applies; (ii) Clause 9 (Sub‑processors): general authorization; (iii) Clause 11 (Redress) not used; (iv) Clause 17 (Governing Law): Republic of Ireland; (v) Clause 18 (Forum): Ireland; and the information required by Annex I–III of the SCCs is provided in Annexes I–III to this DPA.
(c) UK Transfers. For transfers subject to the UK GDPR, the parties incorporate the UK Addendum to the SCCs; the Addendum’s tables are completed by reference to the SCCs and Annexes to this DPA. Governing law and forum for the SCCs as applied by the UK Addendum: England and Wales.
(d) Swiss Transfers. For transfers subject to the Swiss FADP, references to "EU Member State" include Switzerland; the competent authority is the FDPIC; and references to the EU GDPR are construed to include the Swiss FADP.
(e) Other Mechanisms. If a different lawful transfer mechanism becomes available (e.g., a certification program), the parties may mutually agree in writing to rely on that mechanism instead of or in addition to the above.
5) Compliance & Audit
(a) Documentation. CPB will make available upon request information demonstrating compliance with this DPA (e.g., third‑party security reports or summaries, policy documents, compliance certifications).
(b) Audit. No more than once annually (unless required by a Supervisory Authority or following a Security Incident), Customer may audit CPB’s compliance with this DPA on 30 days’ prior written notice. Audits will: (i) be limited to systems and facilities used to Process Personal Data for Customer; (ii) not interfere unreasonably with CPB operations; (iii) be conducted by Customer or an independent auditor bound by confidentiality; and (iv) be limited in time and scope. Customer will bear all audit costs; CPB will reasonably cooperate.
6) CCPA/CPRA (California) — Service Provider Terms
To the extent the CCPA/CPRA applies, CPB will: (i) Process Personal Information only for the limited and specified purposes set forth in this DPA and the Agreement; (ii) not sell or share Personal Information; (iii) not retain, use, or disclose Personal Information outside the direct business relationship with Customer; (iv) not combine Personal Information received from Customer with Personal Information received from other sources, except as permitted by law; and (v) assist Customer with consumer requests as described in Section 3(e). The parties certify they understand and will comply with these restrictions.
7) Liability & Order of Precedence
(a) Liability. Each party’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this DPA is subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability set out in the Agreement, except to the extent prohibited by Data Protection Laws.
(b) Precedence. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this DPA and the Agreement, this DPA will control with respect to the subject matter herein. In the event of a conflict between this DPA and the SCCs/UK Addendum, the SCCs/UK Addendum will control for cross‑border transfers.
8) Miscellaneous
(a) Amendments. CPB may update this DPA as required by changes in Data Protection Laws, provided such updates do not materially diminish Customer’s rights. Material updates will be notified to Customer.
(b) Severability. If any provision of this DPA is held invalid, the remainder remains in full force.
(c) Governing Law. This DPA is governed by the governing law of the Agreement, except where the SCCs specify otherwise.
