    • Scope
      • The Parties acknowledge and agree that the details of Sorenson’s Processing of Customer Personal Data (including the respective roles of the Parties relating to such Processing) are as described in Annex 1 (Data Processing Details) to this DPA.
      • Annex 2 (European Annex) to this DPA applies only if and to the extent Sorenson’s Processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement is subject to the GDPR.
      • Annex 3 (California Annex) to this DPA applies only if and to the extent Sorenson’s Processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement is subject to the CCPA with respect to which Customer is a “business” (as defined in the CCPA).
      • Section 2.7 (Compliance Assistance; Audits) of this DPA applies to Sorenson’s Processing of Customer Personal Data to the extent required under any requirements concerning contracts with Processors under Applicable Data Protection Laws, and in such cases, only in respect of Processing of Customer Personal Data subject to such laws.
    • Processing of Customer Personal Data
      • Sorenson shall not Process Customer Personal Data other than on Customer’s written instructions or as required or permitted by applicable laws. For purposes of the Services and this DPA, Sorenson shall be considered the “Processor” (or “service provider” as defined under Applicable Data Protection Laws) of Customer Personal Data.
      • Customer instructs Sorenson to Process Customer Personal Data to provide the Services to Customer and in accordance with the Agreement (including this DPA). The Agreement is a complete expression of such instructions, and Customer’s additional instructions will be binding on Sorenson only pursuant to any written amendment to this DPA signed by both Parties.  Where required by Applicable Data Protection Laws, if Sorenson receives an instruction from Customer that, in its reasonable opinion, infringes Applicable Data Protection Laws, Sorenson shall notify Customer, and Sorenson shall have the right to suspend Processing of Customer Personal Data until Customer’s instructions are clarified so that they no longer infringe Applicable Data Protection Laws.
      • The Parties acknowledge that Sorenson’s Processing of Customer Personal Data authorized by Customer’s instructions stated in the Agreement (including this DPA) are integral to the Services and the business relationship between the Parties. Access to Customer Personal Data does not form part of the consideration exchanged between the Parties in respect of the Agreement or any other business dealings.
    • Sorenson Personnel
      • Sorenson shall require that its Personnel who are authorized to access Customer Personal Data are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
    • Security
      • Sorenson shall implement and maintain technical and organizational measures in relation to Customer Personal Data that are designed to protect Customer Personal Data against Personal Data Breaches as described in Annex 4 (Security Measures) (the “Security Measures”). Customer warrants that it has assessed the Security Measures and has determined that they satisfy the security requirements imposed by Applicable Data Protection Laws in respect of Sorenson’s Processing of Customer Personal Data.
      • Sorenson may update the Security Measures from time to time, provided the updated measures do not materially decrease the overall protection of Customer Personal Data.
    • Data Breach
      • Sorenson shall notify Customer without undue delay upon Sorenson’s confirmation of a Personal Data Breach. Sorenson’s notification of or response to a Personal Data Breach shall not be construed as Sorenson’s acknowledgement of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach.
      • To the extent the Personal Data Breach resulted from Sorenson’s breach of its security obligations under the Agreement, Sorenson shall provide Customer with reasonably requested information (insofar as such information is within Sorenson’s possession and knowledge and does not otherwise compromise the security of any Customer Personal Data Processed by Sorenson or Sorenson’s other confidentiality or nondisclosure obligations, including any imposed by a law enforcement, a Supervisory Authority, or other governmental authority) to allow Customer to meet its obligations under the Applicable Data Protection Laws to report the Personal Data Breach. If the Personal Data Breach did not result from Sorenson’s breach of its security obligations under the Agreement, Sorenson shall reasonably cooperate with Customer; provided, however, Customer shall reimburse Sorenson for any costs and expenses incurred by Sorenson.  Customer is solely responsible for complying with notification laws applicable to Customer and fulfilling any third-party notification obligations related to any Personal Data Breaches.
      • If Customer determines that a Personal Data Breach must be notified to any Supervisory Authority or other government authority, any Data Subject(s), the public or others under Applicable Data Protection Laws, to the extent such notice directly or indirectly refers to or identifies Sorenson, where permitted by applicable laws, Customer agrees to:

        • In good faith, consult with Sorenson and consider any clarifications or corrections Sorenson may reasonably recommend or request to any such notice, which (i) relate to Sorenson’s involvement in or relevance to such Personal Data Breach, and (ii) are consistent with applicable laws.
      • Data Subject Requests
        • Considering the nature of the Processing of Customer Personal Data by Sorenson, Sorenson shall provide Customer with such assistance by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures as Customer may reasonably request to assist Customer in fulfilling its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws to respect to Data Subject Requests.
        • If Sorenson receives a Data Subject Request, Sorenson shall:
          • Promptly notify Customer of such Data Subject Request; and
          • Not respond to such Data Subject Request, other than to advise the Data Subject to submit the request to Customer, unless otherwise required by Applicable Data Protection Laws. Customer will be responsible for responding to any such request.
        • Compliance Assistance; Audits
          • Taking into account the nature of the Processing of Customer Personal Data by Sorenson and the information available to Sorenson, Sorenson shall provide such information and assistance to Customer as Customer may reasonably request (insofar as such information is available to Sorenson and the sharing thereof does not compromise the security, confidentiality, integrity or availability of any data Processed by Sorenson) to help Customer meet its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws, including in relation to the security of Customer Personal Data, the reporting and investigation of Personal Data Breaches, the demonstration of Customer’s compliance with such obligations and the performance of any data protection assessments and consultations with Supervisory Authorities or other government authorities regarding such assessments in relation to Sorenson’s Processing of Customer Personal Data, including those required under Articles 35 and 36 of the GDPR.
          • Subject to Section 2.7(d) below, Sorenson shall make available to Customer such information as Customer may reasonably request for Sorenson to demonstrate compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws and this DPA. Without limitation of the foregoing, Customer may conduct (in accordance with Section 2.7(c)), at its sole cost and expense, and Sorenson will reasonably cooperate with, reasonable audits (including inspections, manual reviews, automated scans and other technical and operational testing that Customer is entitled to perform under Applicable Data Protection Laws), in each case, whereby Customer or a qualified and independent auditor appointed by Customer using an appropriate and accepted audit control standard or framework may audit Sorenson’s technical and organizational measures in support of such compliance and the auditor’s report is provided to Customer and Sorenson upon Customer’s request.
          • Customer shall give Sorenson reasonable advance notice of any such audits. Sorenson need not cooperate with any audit (i) performed by any individual or entity who has not entered into a non-disclosure agreement with Sorenson on terms acceptable to Sorenson in respect of information obtained in relation to the audit; (ii) conducted outside of Sorenson’s normal business hours at the relevant site; or (iii) on more than one occasion in any calendar year during the term of the Agreement, except for any additional audits that Customer is required to perform under Applicable Data Protection Laws. The audit must be conducted in accordance with Sorenson’s safety, security, or other relevant policies, must not impact the security, confidentiality, integrity, or availability of any data Processed by Sorenson and must not unreasonably interfere with Sorenson’s business activities.  Customer shall not conduct any scans or technical or operational testing of Sorenson’s applications, websites, services, networks, or systems without Sorenson’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
          • If the controls or measures to be assessed in the requested audit are assessed in a SOC 2 Type 2, ISO, NIST or similar audit report performed by a qualified and independent third-party auditor pursuant to a recognized industry standard audit framework within twelve (12) months of Customer’s audit request (“Audit Report”) and Sorenson has confirmed in writing that there have been no known material changes to the controls audited and covered by such Audit Report(s), Customer agrees to accept provision of such Audit Report(s) in lieu of requesting an audit of such controls or measures. Sorenson shall provide copies of any such Audit Reports to Customer upon request.  
          • Such Audit Reports and any other information obtained by Customer in connection with this Section 2.7 shall constitute the Confidential Information of Sorenson, which Customer shall use only for the purposes of confirming compliance with the requirements of this DPA or meeting Customer’s obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws. Nothing in this Section 2.7 shall be construed to obligate Sorenson to breach any duty of confidentiality.
        • Subprocessors
          • Customer generally authorizes Sorenson to appoint Subprocessors in accordance with this Section 2.8. Without limitation to the foregoing, Customer authorizes the engagement of the Subprocessors listed as of the effective date of the Agreement at the Subprocessor Site, as defined below.
          • Information about Subprocessors, including their functions and locations, is available at: Sorenson Subprocessors List – Sorenson (as may be updated by Sorenson from time to time, subject to Sorenson’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.8(d) below) or such other website address as Sorenson may provide to Customer from time to time (the “Subprocessor Site”).
          • When engaging any Subprocessor, Sorenson will enter into a written contract with such Subprocessor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this DPA with respect to Customer Personal Data and to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Subprocessor. As between the Parties, Sorenson shall be liable for the acts and omissions of all Subprocessors under or in connection with this DPA to the same extent Sorenson would be liable under the terms of this DPA if performing such services itself directly.
          • When Sorenson engages any Subprocessor after the effective date of the Agreement, Sorenson will notify Customer of the engagement (including the name and location of the relevant Subprocessor and the activities it will perform) by updating the Subprocessor page and by signing up to receive notifications of Subprocessor changes or by other written means at least 15 days before such Subprocessor Processes Customer Personal Data. If Customer objects to such engagement in a written notice to Sorenson within 15 days after being notified of the engagement on reasonable grounds relating to the protection of Customer Personal Data, Customer and Sorenson will work together in good faith to consider a mutually acceptable resolution to such objection.  If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually agreeable resolution within a reasonable timeframe, Customer may, within 30 days of its initial notification of its objection to Sorenson, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate the Agreement and cancel the Services by providing written notice to Sorenson and pay Sorenson for all amounts due and owing under the Agreement as of the date of such termination. If Customer does not object to Sorenson’s appointment of a Subprocessor during the objection period referred to in this Section 2.8(d), Customer shall be deemed to have approved the engagement and ongoing use of that Subprocessor.
        • Return and Deletion
          • Within 5 years after the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement, Sorenson shall, to the extent technically possible in the circumstances, either (i) return and/or delete all Customer Personal Data in Sorenson’s care, custody or control in accordance with Customer’s instructions as to the post-termination return and deletion of Customer Personal Data expressed in the Agreement, or subject to Section 2.10(e), Customer’s further instructions or (ii) irreversibly anonymize or deidentify all Customer Personal Data in Sorenson’s care, custody or control.
          • Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sorenson may retain Customer Personal Data where required by law (or in the case of Customer Personal Data subject to the GDPR, the laws of the UK or European Economic Area, as applicable), provided that Sorenson shall (a) maintain the confidentiality of all such Customer Personal Data and (b) Process the Customer Personal Data only as necessary for the purpose(s) and duration specified in the applicable law requiring such retention. For purposes of clarity, this Section 2.9 shall not affect Sorenson’s right to retain any Deidentified Data after the expiration or termination of the Agreement.

          • Customer shall not, and agrees to ensure its Authorized Users do not, provide or otherwise make available to Sorenson any Customer Personal Data that contains any (a) Social Security numbers or other government-issued identification numbers; (b) health insurance information; (c) credentials to any financial accounts or credit, debit or other payment card data subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS); (d) tax return data; (e) precise geolocation; (f) data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, sex life or sexual orientation, union membership, citizenship, or immigration status; (g) genetic data; (h) data collected from a known child; (i) any information that constitutes a special category of personal data (as described in Article 9(1) of the GDPR) and/or data relating to criminal convictions and offences; and (l) any online account credentials (together, “Restricted Data”).
          • Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, Customer shall compensate Sorenson at Sorenson’s then-current professional services rates for, and reimburse any costs reasonably incurred by Sorenson while providing, cooperation, information or assistance requested by Customer pursuant to Sections 2.6 (Data Subject Requests), 2.7 (Compliance Assistance; Audits), and 2.9 (Return and Deletion) of this DPA.
        • Deidentified, Anonymized or Aggregated Data

        • Liability
          • The total aggregate liability of either Party towards the other Party, however so arising, under or in connection with this Section 2 and the SCCs (if and as they apply) will under no circumstances exceed any limitations or caps on, and shall be subject to any exclusions of, liability and loss agreed by the Parties in the Agreement; provided that, nothing in this Section 2.12 will affect any person’s liability to Data Subjects under the third-party beneficiary provisions of the SCCs (if and as they apply).
        • Change in Laws
          • Sorenson may on notice modify this DPA to the extent that, acting reasonably, it considers necessary to address the requirements of Applicable Data Protection Laws from time to time with respect to Customer Personal Data, including by varying or replacing the SCCs in the manner described in Paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2 of Annex 2 (European Annex).
