In the course of providing the Service to Customer pursuant to the Agreement, StreamSets may process Customer Personal Data on behalf of Customer and the parties agree to comply with the following provisions with respect to any Personal Data such that each party can comply with their respective obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws. This DPA should replace any comparable or additional rights relating to the processing of Customer Personal Data contained in the Agreement (including any existing data processing addendum to the Agreement).

The parties agree as follows:

    1. Definitions

    2. Scope and Applicability of this DPA
      1. Scope. This DPA applies to the extent that StreamSets processes  as a processor or service provider (as applicable) any Customer protected by Data Protection Laws.
      2. Role of the Parties. If EU Data Protection Law applies to either party’s processing of Customer Personal Data, the parties acknowledge and agree that Customer is the controller of Customer Personal Data, and StreamSets shall process Customer Personal Data only as a processor on behalf of Customer, as further described in Annex A of this DPA.  Nothing in the Agreement (including this DPA) shall prevent StreamSets from using or sharing any data (including Customer Personal Data) that StreamSets would otherwise collect and process independently of Customer’s use of the Service.  Any processing of Customer Personal Data under or in connection with the Agreement shall be performed in accordance with applicable Data Protection Law.
      3. StreamSets Processing of Customer Personal Data. As a processor, StreamSets shall process Customer Personal Data only for the purposes described in this DPA and only in accordance with Customer’s documented lawful instructions.  The parties agree that the Agreement (including this DPA) sets out the Customer’s complete and final instructions to StreamSets in relation to the processing of Customer Personal Data and processing outside the scope of these instructions (if any) shall require prior written agreement between Customer and StreamSets.   StreamSets shall notify Customer in writing, unless prohibited from doing so under Data Protection Law, if it becomes aware or believes that any data processing instructions from Customer violate applicable Data Protection Law.
    3. Subprocessing
      1. Authorized Sub-processors. Customer agrees that StreamSets may engage Sub-processors to process Customer Personal Data on Customer’s behalf.  The Sub-processors currently engaged by StreamSets and authorized by Customer are listed at https://streamsets.com/streamsets-dpa-subprocessors. StreamSets shall notify Customer if it changes its Sub-processors at least 10 days prior to any such changes by sending an email to the email address designated by the Customer to receive notifications.
      2. Sub-processor Obligations. StreamSets shall: (i) enter into a written agreement with the Sub-processor imposing data protection terms that require the Sub-processor to protect Customer Personal Data to the standard required by Data Protection Laws; and (ii) remain responsible for its compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of the Sub-processor that cause StreamSets to breach any of its obligations under this DPA.
    4. Security and Audits
      1. Security Measures. StreamSets shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect Customer Personal Data from Security Incidents and to preserve the security and confidentiality of the Customer Personal Data as described in the Security Policy (“Security Measures“).  StreamSets shall ensure that any person who is authorized by StreamSets to process Customer Personal Data shall be under an appropriate obligation of confidentiality (whether a contractual or statutory duty).
      2. Security Incident Response. Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident, StreamSets shall notify Customer without undue delay and shall provide timely information relating to the Security Incident as it becomes known or as is reasonably requested by Customer.
      3. Updates to Security Measures. Customer acknowledges that the Security Measures are subject to technical progress and development and that StreamSets may update or modify the Security Measures from time to time provided that such updates and modifications do not result in the degradation of the overall security of the Service purchased by the Customer.
      4. Customer Responsibilities. Notwithstanding the above, Customer agrees that except as provided by this DPA, Customer is responsible for its secure use of the Service, including securing its Credentials, protecting the security of Customer Personal Data when in transit to and from the Service and taking any appropriate steps to securely encrypt or backup any Customer Personal Data processed in connection with the Service.
      5. Security Audits. On written request from Customer, StreamSets shall provide written responses (on a confidential basis) to all reasonable requests for information made by Customer related to its processing of Customer Personal Data, including responses to information security and audit questionnaires that are strictly necessary to confirm StreamSets’ compliance with this DPA, provided that Customer shall not exercise this right more than once in any 12 month rolling period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may also exercise such audit right in the event Customer is expressly requested or required to provide this information to a data protection authority, or StreamSets has experienced a Security Incident, or other reasonably similar basis.
    5. International Transfers
      1. Processing Locations. StreamSets may transfer and process Customer Personal Data to and in the United States and anywhere else in the world where StreamSets, its Affiliates or its Sub-processors maintain data processing operations. StreamSets shall at all times ensure such transfers are made in compliance with the requirements of Data Protection Laws and this DPA.
      2. Transfer Mechanism.  Where StreamSets is a recipient of Customer Personal Data protected by EU Data Protection Laws in a third country not recognised as providing adequate protection for personal data (as described in EU Data Protection Laws), StreamSets agrees to abide by and process such Customer Personal Data in compliance with the Standard Contractual Clauses, which are incorporated in full by reference and form an integral part of this DPA.  For the purposes of the descriptions in the Standard Contractual Clauses: (i) StreamSets agrees that it is a “data importer” and Customer is the “data exporter” (notwithstanding that Customer may itself be an entity located in a third country) (ii) Annex A to this DPA and the Security Measures shall replace Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 of the Standard Contractual Clauses; and (iii) Annex B shall form Appendix 3 to the Standard Contractual Clauses.  It is not the intention of either party, nor the effect of this DPA, to contradict or restrict any of the provisions set forth in the Standard Contractual Clauses. Accordingly, if and to the extent the Standard Contractual Clauses conflict with any provision of this DPA, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail to the extent of such conflict.
    6. Return or Deletion of Customer Personal Data
      1. Deletion on Termination. Upon termination or expiry of the Agreement, StreamSets shall as soon as reasonably practicable delete all Customer Personal Data (including copies) in its possession or control in accordance with the Agreement, save that this requirement shall not apply to the extent StreamSets is required by applicable Law to retain some or all of the Customer Personal Data, or to Customer Personal Data it has archived on back-up systems, which such Customer Personal Data StreamSets shall securely isolate and protect from any further processing and delete in accordance with its deletion practices, except to the extent required by applicable Law.
      2. Deletion during the Subscription Term. Without prejudice to Section 6.1 above, Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) StreamSets shall during the Subscription Term routinely delete data it processes in connection with the provision of the Service and to the extent this results in the deletion of Customer Personal Data, this will constitute an instruction from Customer to StreamSets to delete such Customer Personal Data from StreamSets systems; and (ii) without prejudice to the foregoing, to the extent StreamSets inadvertently receives or otherwise processes Customer Personal Data during the Subscription Term that it does not need or otherwise require to provide the Service, Customer acknowledges and agrees that StreamSets may delete and/or return to Customer such Customer Personal Data.
    7. Rights of Data Subjects and Cooperation
      1. Data Subject Request. StreamSets shall (at Customer’s expense) taking into account the nature of the processing, provide all reasonable cooperation to assist Customer by appropriate technical and organisational measures, in so far as is possible, to respond to any requests from individuals or applicable data protection authorities relating to the processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement.  In the event that any such request is made to StreamSets directly, StreamSets shall not respond to such communication directly without Customer’s prior authorization, unless legally compelled to do so. If StreamSets is required to respond to such a request, StreamSets shall promptly notify Customer and provide it with a copy of the request unless legally prohibited from doing so.
      2. Subpoenas and Court Orders. If a law enforcement agency sends StreamSets a demand for Customer Personal Data (for example, through a subpoena or court order), StreamSets shall give Customer reasonable notice of the demand to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless StreamSets is legally prohibited from doing so.
    8. Jurisdiction Specific Terms
      1. Europe.  To the extent Customer Personal Data is protected by EU Data Protection Laws, the following terms shall apply in addition to the terms in the remainder of this DPA:
                  1. Objection to Sub-processors.  Customer may object in writing to StreamSets’ appointment of a new Sub-processor on reasonable grounds relating to data protection (e.g. if making Customer Personal Data available to the Sub-processor may violate applicable EU Data Protection Law or weaken the protections for such Customer Personal Data) by notifying StreamSets promptly in writing within five (5) calendar days of receipt of StreamSets’ notice in accordance with Section 3.1 above.  Such notice shall explain the reasonable grounds for the objection. In such event, the parties shall discuss such concerns in good faith with a view to achieving commercially reasonable resolution. If no such resolution can be reached, StreamSets will, at its sole discretion, either not appoint such Sub-processor, or permit Customer to suspend or terminate the affected Service in accordance with the termination provisions in the Agreement without liability to either party (but without prejudice to any fees incurred by Customer prior to suspension or termination).
                  2. Data Protection Impact Assessment.  To the extent StreamSets is required under applicable Data Protection Law, StreamSets shall (at Customer’s expense) provide reasonably requested information regarding StreamSets processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement to enable the Customer to carry out data protection impact assessments or prior consultations with data protection authorities as required by Law.
      2. California.  ThisSection 8.2 applies to Customer Personal Data constituting personal information under the CCPA. For purposes of such personal information, Customer is a business and StreamSets is a service provider. Customer’s transfer of Customer Personal Data to StreamSets is not a sale, and StreamSets provides no monetary or other valuable consideration to Customer in exchange for Customer Personal Data. Except as otherwise instructed by Customer, StreamSets will not (a) sell the personal information or (b) collect, retain, use or disclose the personal information for any purpose (including any commercial purpose) other than to provide the Service under the Agreement, including as described in Section 4.2 (Configuration Data). As applicable to the Service, StreamSets will reasonably assist Customer with any verifiable consumer requests to retrieve or delete the consumers’ personal information.
    9. Limitation of Liability
      1. Each party’s and all of its Affiliates’ liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or related to this DPA (including the Standard Contractual Clauses) whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or under any other theory of liability, shall be subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability in the Agreement, and any reference in provisions to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party and all of its Affiliates under and in connection with the Agreement and this DPA together.
      2. Except where applicable Data Protection Laws require a Customer Affiliate to exercise a right or seek any remedy under this DPA against StreamSets directly by itself, the parties agree that (i) solely the Customer entity that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall exercise any right or seek any remedy any Customer Affiliate may have under this DPA on behalf of its Affiliates, and (ii) the Customer that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall exercise any such rights under this DPA not separately for each Affiliate individually but in a combined manner for all of its Affiliates together.
    10. Miscellaneous
      1. Except for the changes made by this DPA, the Agreement remains unchanged and in full force and effect. If there is any conflict between this DPA and the Agreement, this DPA shall prevail to the extent of that conflict, as it relates to the subject matter of this DPA.
      2. This DPA shall be deemed a part of and incorporated into the Agreement so that references in the Agreement to “Agreement” shall be interpreted to include this DPA.
      3. This DPA shall be governed by and construed in accordance with governing Law and jurisdiction provisions in the Agreement, unless required otherwise by Data Protection Laws
