In the event of any conflict between this Section 8 and the DPA with respect to the processing of personal data, the DPA controls.
8.2 Your notice obligations. You shall ensure that each Client Website maintains a publicly accessible privacy notice that clearly and conspicuously informs visitors that the site, application or device is tracked and analyzed by an analytics and personalization service, identifies the categories of data collected (including the use of cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies), describes the purposes of processing, and explains how visitors may exercise applicable rights (including opt-out where required). You are responsible for obtaining all consents (including consent to cookies and similar technologies where required by law, e.g., the EU ePrivacy Directive and UK PECR) and for honoring all opt-outs (including U.S. state “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” signals such as Global Privacy Control) prior to collection.
8.3 Compliance with applicable law. You shall ensure that your collection, storage, transmission, and processing of Client Data through the Service complies at all times with (a) your own published privacy and information-security policies, and (b) all applicable laws, rules and regulations governing the processing of personal data, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, “GDPR”) and the UK GDPR; the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (the “CCPA/CPRA”) and other U.S. state comprehensive privacy laws (e.g., Virginia VCDPA, Colorado CPA, Connecticut CTDPA, Utah UCPA, Texas TDPSA, Oregon OCPA, and successor or similar laws); Canada’s PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25; Brazil’s LGPD; and applicable export, sanctions, and import-control laws and regulations. As between the parties, you are the controller (or business) and Personyze is the processor (or service provider) with respect to personal data within Client Data, except where Personyze acts as an independent controller for its own legitimate business purposes (e.g., billing, account administration, fraud prevention, and security), as further described in the DPA.
8.4 Prohibited categories of data. You shall not use the Service to collect, upload, transmit, store, deliver to, or otherwise provide Personyze with access to any data of a kind that the Service is not designed or contractually authorized to process, including: (i) U.S. Social Security numbers, tax identification numbers, driver’s license or other government-issued identifier numbers, passport numbers, or financial account numbers; (ii) payment card data subject to the PCI DSS; (iii) protected health information regulated by HIPAA or comparable laws, or any individual medical or mental-health information; (iv) precise geolocation data, biometric identifiers or biometric information, or genetic data; (v) personal data of children under 13 (or under 16 where applicable) subject to COPPA, GDPR Art. 8, or similar laws; (vi) account passwords or security credentials; (vii) special categories of data under GDPR Art. 9 (e.g., racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade-union membership, sexual orientation, or health data); and (viii) any other information that, under applicable law, would be classified as sensitive personal information or that would require heightened security, consent, or breach-notification obligations that Personyze has not separately agreed in writing to support.
8.5 Security and breach notification. Personyze shall implement and maintain a written information-security program containing administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Client Data against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration or destruction, as further described in the DPA. If Personyze becomes aware of a confirmed Security Incident affecting Client Data (as defined in the DPA), Personyze shall notify you without undue delay and in any event within seventy-two (72) hours of confirmation, and shall provide reasonable cooperation in your investigation, mitigation, and notification obligations under applicable law.
8.6 Mutual indemnification for privacy claims. (a) You shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Personyze, its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and authorized agents from and against any third-party losses, damages, fines, penalties, settlements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”) arising from any claim that your or any User’s collection of, instructions regarding, content of, or use of Client Data violates this Section 8, Section 3, the DPA, or applicable law. (b) Personyze shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless you, your affiliates, and their respective directors, officers and employees from and against any third-party Losses arising from Personyze’s breach of its obligations under Section 8.5 (Security and Breach Notification) or the DPA, except to the extent the Loss arises from your breach of this Agreement or your instructions to Personyze. The indemnifying party’s obligations under this Section are conditioned on the indemnified party (i) giving prompt written notice of the claim, (ii) granting sole control of the defense and settlement (provided that no settlement requiring the indemnified party to admit liability shall be entered without its prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld), and (iii) providing reasonable cooperation at the indemnifying party’s expense.

2. Roles, scope, and customer instructions
2.1 Roles. With respect to Personal Data processed in connection with the Service, the parties acknowledge that Customer is the Controller (or, where applicable, a Processor acting on behalf of a Controller) and Personyze is the Processor. Under the CCPA/CPRA and equivalent U.S. state laws, Personyze acts as a Service Provider (or Processor) and shall not Sell or Share Personal Data, shall not retain, use or disclose Personal Data outside the direct business relationship between the parties, and shall not combine Personal Data received from Customer with Personal Data received from other sources except as expressly permitted by Applicable Data Protection Law.
2.2 Documented instructions. Personyze will Process Personal Data only on Customer’s documented instructions, which include: (a) Processing in accordance with the Agreement (including this DPA) and Customer’s configuration of the Service; (b) Processing required to comply with applicable law (in which case Personyze shall, where permitted, inform Customer of that legal requirement before Processing); and (c) any additional written instructions agreed by the parties. Personyze shall promptly inform Customer if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes Applicable Data Protection Law.
2.3 Independent controller activities. Personyze may Process limited operational data (e.g., account contacts, usage logs, billing, fraud prevention, security telemetry, and aggregated/de-identified data) as an independent Controller for the purposes of providing, securing, supporting, and improving the Service and complying with its legal obligations. Such processing is governed by Personyze’s then-current privacy notice and is outside the scope of Sections 3–11 of this DPA.
2.4 Customer responsibilities. Customer represents and warrants that it has provided all required notices and obtained all required consents and other legal bases for Personyze’s Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement, including the use of cookies and similar technologies on Client Websites and the transfer of Personal Data to Personyze.
3. Confidentiality and personnel
Personyze shall ensure that personnel with access to Personal Data are bound by written confidentiality obligations, receive regular privacy and security training, and access Personal Data only on a least-privilege, need-to-know basis.
4. Security measures
Personyze shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Data against Security Incidents, as described in Annex 2 (Technical and Organizational Measures). Personyze may update these measures from time to time, provided that the overall level of protection is not materially reduced.
5. Sub-processors
5.1 General authorization. Customer grants Personyze a general authorization to engage Sub-processors to provide the Service, subject to this Section 5. The current Sub-processor list will be provided on request.
5.2 Notice of new Sub-processors. Personyze shall give Customer at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice (by email to Customer’s designated account contact) of the addition or replacement of a Sub-processor that materially affects the Processing of Personal Data. During the notice period, Customer may object on reasonable grounds related to data protection. The parties shall work in good faith to resolve the objection; if no resolution is reached, Customer may, as its sole remedy, terminate the affected portion of the Service on written notice and receive a pro-rata refund of prepaid Service Fees for the unused remainder of the then-current Term.
5.3 Sub-processor obligations. Personyze shall enter into a written agreement with each Sub-processor that imposes data protection obligations no less protective than those in this DPA, and shall remain liable for the acts and omissions of its Sub-processors as if performed by Personyze.
6. Security incidents
Personyze shall notify Customer without undue delay, and in any event within seventy-two (72) hours, after confirming a Security Incident. The notice will include, to the extent then known: (a) the nature and likely scope of the incident; (b) the categories and approximate number of Data Subjects and records concerned; (c) the likely consequences; and (d) the measures taken or proposed to address the incident and mitigate its effects. Personyze shall provide reasonable cooperation and information to assist Customer in its investigation and notification obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law. Notification of a Security Incident is not an acknowledgment of fault or liability.
7. Data subject requests
Personyze shall provide self-service functionality within the Service that enables Customer to access, correct, delete, restrict, port, or otherwise respond to Data Subject requests under Applicable Data Protection Law. Where Customer is unable to address a request through the Service, Personyze shall, on Customer’s written request and at Customer’s reasonable cost (except where assistance is required at no cost under Applicable Data Protection Law), provide reasonable assistance. Personyze shall not respond directly to a Data Subject regarding Customer’s Personal Data without Customer’s prior written authorization, except to direct the Data Subject to Customer.
8. DPIA and regulator cooperation
On Customer’s reasonable request, Personyze shall provide reasonable assistance (taking into account the nature of Processing and the information available to Personyze) with Customer’s data protection impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities under Articles 35–36 GDPR or equivalent provisions of Applicable Data Protection Law.
9. International data transfers
9.1 EEA transfers. Where Personyze processes Personal Data subject to the GDPR outside the European Economic Area to a country not benefitting from an adequacy decision, the parties incorporate the SCCs into this DPA by reference: Module Two (Controller-to-Processor) applies where Customer is a Controller; Module Three (Processor-to-Processor) applies where Customer is itself a Processor. The optional docking clause (Clause 7) applies. Clause 9 Option 2 (general written authorization) applies with the notice period in Section 5.2. The optional language in Clause 11(a) (independent dispute resolution) does not apply. Clause 17 Option 1 governing law: Irish law. Clause 18 competent courts: Ireland. Annexes I, II, and III of the SCCs are completed by Annexes 1, 2, and 3 of this DPA.
9.2 UK transfers. For Personal Data subject to the UK GDPR transferred outside the United Kingdom to a country not benefitting from a UK adequacy regulation, the UK IDTA is hereby incorporated and forms part of this DPA, with the SCCs serving as the “Approved EU SCCs” and Annexes 1–3 of this DPA serving as Tables 1–3 of the UK IDTA. The parties agree to the version of the UK IDTA in force from time to time.
9.3 Swiss transfers. For Personal Data subject to the FADP, the SCCs apply with the modifications described in the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner’s guidance, including references to the FADP in place of the GDPR and to the FDPIC as the competent supervisory authority.
10. Audit
10.1 Information on request. On Customer’s reasonable written request, and subject to confidentiality obligations, Personyze shall make available to Customer information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA, which may include security questionnaires, summaries of penetration-testing results, or any third-party audit reports Personyze has obtained. This information is intended to satisfy Customer’s audit rights to the maximum extent reasonably practicable.
10.2 On-site audits. To the extent the audit reports in Section 10.1 are insufficient to satisfy Applicable Data Protection Law, Customer (or a mutually agreed independent third-party auditor bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations and not a competitor of Personyze) may conduct an on-site audit of Personyze’s privacy and security controls relevant to the Processing of Personal Data, no more than once per twelve (12) months, on at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, during business hours, in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Personyze’s operations, and at Customer’s expense. A regulator may conduct audits as required by Applicable Data Protection Law without these limitations.
11. Return and deletion of Personal Data
Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, Personyze shall, at Customer’s choice, return or delete all Personal Data in its possession or control within ninety (90) days, except where retention is required by Applicable Data Protection Law or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. Personyze may retain Personal Data in encrypted backups for the duration of its standard backup-rotation cycle, after which such backups will be securely deleted or anonymized. Aggregated or de-identified data that cannot be reasonably linked to a Data Subject is not subject to return or deletion.
12. CCPA / U.S. state law specific terms
12.1 No Sale or Share. Personyze does not Sell Personal Data and does not Share Personal Data for cross-context behavioral advertising. The Service Fees do not constitute consideration for Personal Data.
12.2 Limited use. Personyze shall: (a) Process Personal Data only for the limited and specified business purposes of providing the Service as set out in the Agreement; (b) comply with applicable obligations under the CCPA/CPRA and comparable U.S. state laws, and provide the same level of protection required of a Business or Controller; (c) not combine Personal Data received from Customer with Personal Data received from other sources, except as permitted by the CCPA/CPRA; and (d) notify Customer if Personyze determines it can no longer meet these obligations and, on Customer’s direction, cease Processing or take reasonable steps to remediate.
12.3 Audit rights (CCPA). Customer has the right, on reasonable notice, to take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that Personyze uses Personal Data in a manner consistent with the CCPA/CPRA, and to stop and remediate unauthorized use of Personal Data. The audit provisions in Section 10 apply.
13. Liability
Each party’s liability under or in connection with this DPA is subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability set forth in the Agreement (Sections 13, or 20 for EMEA clients), provided that nothing in this DPA limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Applicable Data Protection Law (including liability of a Processor to a Data Subject under Article 82 GDPR).
14. Order of precedence and term
In the event of a conflict between this DPA and the Agreement, this DPA governs with respect to the Processing of Personal Data. In the event of a conflict between this DPA and the SCCs or UK IDTA, the SCCs or UK IDTA (as applicable) prevail. This DPA takes effect on the Delivery Date and remains in force for so long as Personyze Processes Personal Data on Customer’s behalf and for any survival period required by Applicable Data Protection Law.
