Data processing addendum for customers

Background
1. This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) is an addendum to and forms part of the Master Subscription Agreement, the Contentful Terms of Service or another agreement under which Contentful provides services (“Contentful Services”) to Customer or otherwise collaborates with Customer (such as a Contentful partner).
2. Each such agreement referred to in a) above is a “Main Agreement”. “Customer” refers to the party in the Main Agreement other than Contentful. For purposes of processing Customer Data, “Contentful” refers to the Contentful entity that is a party to the Main Agreement and such entity’s affiliates that are under common control with, controlled by or controlling that entity.
3. Capitalized terms used in this DPA have the meaning set forth herein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this DPA have the meaning given to them in the Main Agreement. Terms that are not capitalized are interpreted in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws.
4. This DPA does not change the terms of the Main Agreement but only supplements the Main Agreement for purposes of personal data processing.
5. This DPA applies to processing European personal data (that is, any personal data subject to the GDPR). “GDPR” (General Data Protection Regulation) means the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC.
6. To the extent California consumers’ personal information is processed, Annex 4 applies.
7. This DPA is subject to the governing law and jurisdiction provisions in the Main Agreement unless and to the extent required otherwise by applicable data protection and privacy laws.
8. This DPA becomes effective and remains in effect for as long as personal data is processed as per the Main Agreement.
Scope of Application
1. While providing Contentful Services, it may be necessary for Contentful to process personal data for Customer (“Customer Data”, see Annex 1). Contentful is the data processor of such personal data and Customer is the data controller.
2. In case of contradictions between this DPA and the provisions of other agreements, in particular the Main Agreement, the provisions of this DPA prevail. The provisions of the Standard Contractual Clauses attached in Annex 3 prevail, where applicable, over this DPA to the extent of any discrepancy between the two.
3. This DPA does not apply to "Service Data" which means any data relating to the Customer’s use, support and/or operation of Contentful Services and Contentful websites, including information relating to activity logs, use patterns, cookie data or other information regarding use of Contentful Services and Contentful websites. To the extent any Service Data is considered personal data under applicable data protection and privacy laws, Contentful is responsible as a data controller, and processes such data in accordance with its privacy notice available at contentful.com/legal and applicable data protection and privacy laws.
Subject, Scope and Duration of Processing
1. Contentful processes Customer Data exclusively on behalf of Customer and on Customer instructions in terms of GDPR article 28 (1).
2. Annex 1 to this DPA contains a comprehensive list of the types of Customer Data that Contentful may process, in which manner, for what purposes, and to which categories of data subjects such data relate.
Scope of Customer’s Authority to Issue Instructions
1. Instructions related to processing Customer Data must be documented. Customer’s instructions are exclusively included in the Main Agreement and this DPA or given via the authorized use of Contentful Services.
2. Contentful must inform Customer immediately if in Contentful’s reasonable opinion Customer’s instructions conflict with this DPA, an earlier instruction or applicable data protection laws.
3. Customer hereby instructs Contentful to process Customer Data and, in particular, to transfer Customer Data to any country or territory as reasonably necessary for the provision of Contentful Services in accordance with the Main Agreement and this DPA.
Obligations and Legal Status of Customer as Data Controller
1. Customer is responsible for its compliance with applicable laws and the lawful processing of Customer Data in relation to the data subjects as well as for safeguarding the rights of data subjects to the extent that applicable data protection laws do not impose direct responsibility on Contentful.
2. As between the parties, Customer is and remains the owner of Customer Data and the holder of all rights relating to Customer Data.
Security of Processing
1. Contentful takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a suitable level of protection for Customer Data corresponding to the risk of the respective data processing. This must be in consideration of the state of the art, implementation costs and the type, scope, circumstances, and aims of the processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects.
2. Customer has assessed the security measures offered by Contentful to meet the standards required by applicable data protection and privacy laws as at the effective date hereof. Such technical and organizational measures are specified in Annex 2 to this DPA and/or in the Main Agreement and Contentful will maintain those (or effectively similar) measures during the term. All changes to technical and organizational measures must be reasonably documented by Contentful.
Sub-processors
1. Customer hereby authorizes Contentful to appoint sub-processors in accordance with this section and subject to any restrictions herein or in the Main Agreement.
2. Contentful can continue using those sub-processors already engaged by Contentful as at the date of this DPA, subject to Contentful meeting the obligations set out in this section.
3. Prior to engaging new or replacement sub-processors Contentful will notify Customer. Customer is entitled to object to any change notified by Contentful within a reasonable time (which reasonable time may be set by Contentful in such notification) and for materially important reasons. If Customer fails to object to such change within such reasonable time, Customer is deemed to have consented to such change. Where a materially important reason for such objection exists and an amicable resolution fails, Contentful may terminate the Main Agreement.
4. If Contentful engages sub-processors, Contentful (i) remains liable under this DPA for the acts and omissions of sub-processors and (ii) ensures that Contentful’s obligations on data protection resulting from the Main Agreement and this DPA are binding on sub-processors. Without prejudice to the foregoing, with respect to each sub-processor, Contentful will:
  1. before the sub-processor processes Customer Data, carry out adequate due diligence to ensure that the sub-processor is capable of providing the level of protection for Customer Data as required herein and in the Main Agreement;
  2. ensure that the arrangement is governed by a written contract including terms which offer similar level of protection for Customer Data as those set out in this DPA and meet the requirements of article 28 (3) of GDPR;
  3. if that arrangement involves a transfer of Customer Data to a location or recipient outside of the European Economic Area or a location or recipient not offering an “adequate level of protection“, in accordance with GDPR, ensure that the Standard Contractual Clauses attached in Annex 3 (or other instrument providing “appropriate safeguards” in accordance with GDPR) are incorporated into the agreement, where required, in the name and on behalf of Customer, which authorization Customer hereby grants to Contentful; and
  4. on reasonable request, provide copies of Contentful’s agreements with sub-processors to Customer for review which agreements may be redacted to remove information not relevant to the requirements of this DPA or GDPR.
Data Subject Rights
1. If a data subject contacts Contentful to exercise the data subject’s legal rights, Contentful will not respond to such request but forward such request to Customer without undue delay. Contentful may only respond to data subject requests after a prior written approval by Customer or as required by laws to which Contentful is subject. In such a case Contentful will, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, inform Customer of that legal requirement before responding to the request.
2. Taking into account the nature of processing, Contentful will assist Customer by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, as is reasonable, for the fulfilment of Customer’s obligations to respond to data subject requests.
3. Contentful will rectify, delete or block Customer Data on Customer’s instructions.
4. If a data subject has a right to data portability with respect to Customer Data, Contentful will ensure that Customer can obtain such data in a structured, common and machine-readable format.
Data Breach
1. Contentful will inform Customer of any data breach affecting Customer Data without undue delay and, in any event, so as to facilitate the parties’ compliance with applicable law (such as notification timelines set by GDPR, article 33 (1)). Contentful must inform Customer, where possible, about the type of breach, the categories and the number of data subjects, the data affected, and the number of data sets affected.
2. Contentful will without undue delay take all necessary and reasonable measures to remedy the data breach and, where applicable, mitigate any negative effects. Contentful will inform Customer as soon as reasonably possible about such measures and keep Customer informed as reasonably practicable.
3. Contentful will document data breaches to support Customer to evidence compliance with any relevant legal obligations to notify (e.g. articles 33 and 34 GDPR).
Return and deletion of Customer Data
1. Contentful is prohibited from actively processing Customer Data after termination of the Main Agreement.
2. At the choice and request of Customer, all Customer Data must be either completely and irretrievably deleted (or otherwise obliterated such that it cannot be recovered or reconstructed) or returned to Customer within a reasonable time after Customer request.
3. Contentful may retain Customer Data to the extent required by applicable laws and only to the extent and for such period as required by applicable laws.
4. Contentful will keep confidential such Customer Data that Contentful retains in accordance with subsections b) and c) after cessation of processing. Customer Data referred to in section c) will only be processed as necessary for the purposes specified in the applicable laws requiring its storage and for no other purpose.
5. On Customer’s reasonable request Contentful must provide a written confirmation that Contentful has complied with this section.
Data Transfers
1. If applicable, Customer and Contentful hereby enter into the Standard Contractual Clauses (attached in Annex 3) which are hereby incorporated to this DPA and agreed to without a separate signature on the Standard Contractual Clauses. The Standard Contractual Clauses come into effect on the commencement of a transfer, if any, of Customer Data that would otherwise not be allowed under the GDPR.
Audit
1. To the extent that the Main Agreement does not otherwise give the information and audit rights meeting the relevant requirements of data protection and privacy laws (including, where applicable, article 28(3)(h) GDPR), Contentful will upon reasonable request make available to Customer all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA, and will allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, by Customer or an auditor mandated by Customer in relation to the processing of Customer Data. Contentful will not unreasonably withhold or delay agreement to an auditor selected by Customer.
2. The audits and inspections referred to in subsection a) are primarily carried out by Customer auditing and inspecting audit reports resulting from an audit performed by an independent third-party information security expert at Contentful expense and choice in accordance with Contentful’s ISO 27001 compliant information security management system. Customer hereby instructs Contentful to perform audits for purposes of privacy compliance under this DPA as described in this subsection b).
3. If Customer wishes to alter its above instructions concerning audits, Customer will issue a suggestion for altered audit instructions to Contentful in writing reasonably in advance of an expected audit. If the parties fail to reach an amicable resolution on altered audit instructions, Contentful may terminate the Main Agreement.
4. Audits will be subject to customary confidentiality undertakings or professional duty of confidentiality. Customer will give Contentful reasonable notice of any audit or inspection and will take (and ensure that auditors take) all reasonable endeavors to minimize disruption to Contentful’s business, including e.g. carrying out the audits during normal business hours.
5. Customer will not carry out more than one audit per year of the Main Agreement term unless (i) Customer reasonably considers it necessary because of genuine and demonstrable concerns as to Contentful’s compliance with this DPA or applicable data protection and privacy laws; or (ii) Customer is required or requested to carry out an audit by data protection and privacy laws, a supervisory authority or any similar regulatory authority responsible for enforcement of such laws; or (iii) if an earlier audit has identified non-conformity with this DPA or applicable data protection and privacy laws.
6. All costs and expenses arising from audits are borne by Customer.
7. Nothing herein limits any rights mandated by law, such as supervisory authority and data subject rights, including in accordance with the Standard Contractual Clauses.
Other Contentful Obligations
1. If Customer is required to provide information to a supervisory authority relating to processing of Customer Data, or to otherwise cooperate with a public authority, Contentful will support Customer by providing such information reasonably available to it or otherwise reasonably cooperating with Customer. This applies in particular to information and documents relating to technical and organizational measures taken in line with article 32 GDPR.
2. To the extent necessary and reasonable, Contentful will support Customer with data protection impact assessments as well as with any subsequent consultation (if applicable) with the supervisory authorities in the meaning of articles 35 and 36 GDPR.
3. Without prejudice to anything in this DPA, Contentful is responsible for its and its sub-processors’ compliance with applicable laws relating to this DPA.
4. Customer will reimburse to Contentful the reasonable cost and expenses arising out of Contentful’s support to Customer in accordance with this section.

2.	If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his sub-processor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract of by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.

The prior written contract between the data importer and the sub-processor 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 sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

Annex 4:

CCPA Addendum

The DPA applies, subject to this Annex 4, to processing Californian personal information (that is, any personal information subject to the CCPA). “CCPA” means the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, California Civil Code Section 1798.100 et. seq., including all regulations enacted in connection therewith as the same may be amended, supplemented, or replaced from time to time.

With respect to Californian personal information, this Annex 4 prevails over any conflicting terms of the Main Agreement and the DPA but does not modify them. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Annex 4 have the meaning given in the Main Agreement and the DPA. For purposes of this Annex 4 and the CCPA, the term “personal data” as used in the DPA includes “personal information”. Similarly, other terms used in the DPA are interpreted to include their closest equivalent under the CCPA. All terms that are not capitalized in this Annex 4 are interpreted in accordance with the CCPA.

Customer is a business and appoints Contentful as a service provider to process personal information on behalf of Customer. Customer will comply with the CCPA applicable to it as a business.
This Annex 4 applies to the collection, retention, use, and disclosure of personal information to provide services to Customer pursuant to the Main Agreement.
Contentful may not otherwise retain, use, or disclose personal information for any purpose other than (i) for the specific purpose of performing the services, (ii) in accordance with Customer’s documented lawful instructions as set forth in the DPA, (iii) as necessary to comply with applicable law, (iv) as otherwise agreed in writing, or (v) as otherwise permitted for service providers under the CCPA. Contentful hereby certifies that it understands and will comply with the restrictions outlined herein.
Contentful’s obligations regarding data subject requests, as described in section 8 (Data Subject Rights) of the DPA, apply to consumers’ rights under the CCPA.
