  2. Customer’s Responsibilities. Customer shall, in Customer’s use of the Service, submit or make available Personal Data to Monte Carlo for Processing in accordance with the requirements of Data Protection Laws and Regulations, and Customer’s instructions to Monte Carlo for the Processing of Personal Data shall comply with Data Protection Laws and Regulations.

Monte Carlo will notify Customer upon becoming aware and if in Monte Carlo’s reasonable judgement that Customer’s instruction violates Data Protection Laws and Regulations.

3. Rights of Data Subjects

  1. Correction, Blocking, and Deletion. To the extent Customer, in Customer’s use of the Service, does not have the ability to correct, amend, block or delete Personal Data, as required by Data Protection Laws and Regulations, Monte Carlo shall reasonably assist Customer in facilitating such actions to the extent Monte Carlo is legally permitted to do so.
  2. Data Subject Requests.

4. Monte Carlo Personnel

  1. Confidentiality. Monte Carlo shall take reasonable actions to ensure that its personnel engaged in the Processing of Personal Data are informed of the confidential nature of the Personal Data, have received appropriate training on their responsibilities and have executed written confidentiality agreements. Monte Carlo shall ensure that such confidentiality obligations survive the termination of the personnel engagement.
  2. Limitation of Access. Monte Carlo shall take reasonable actions to ensure that Monte Carlo’s access to Personal Data is limited to those personnel who require such access to perform under the Agreement.

5. Security

Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, Monte Carlo shall implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk and as detailed in Annex 2. Monte Carlo regularly monitors compliance with these safeguards. Monte Carlo may update these technical and organization measures from time to time, but will not materially decrease the overall security of the Service.

6. Security Breach Management and Notification

Monte Carlo maintains security incident management policies and procedures and shall, to the extent permitted by law, without undue delay, and in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware, notify Customer of any actual or reasonably suspected unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure of Personal Data, by Monte Carlo or its Subprocessors (a “Security Breach”). Monte Carlo shall make reasonable efforts to identify and take all reasonable steps to remediate the cause of such Security Breach.

7. Additional Terms

  1. Application of Standard Contractual Clauses. The Standard Contractual Clauses in Attachment 1 and the additional terms in Section 7 will apply to the Processing of Personal Data by Monte Carlo in the course of providing Services as follows:
    1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this DPA, the Standard Contractual Clauses apply only to Personal Data that is transferred from the EEA and/or Switzerland and the United Kingdom to outside the EEA and Switzerland or the United Kingdom, either directly or via onward transfer, to any country or recipient not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data (as described in the EU Data Protection Directive or its successors). In the event the United Kingdom is no longer considered or effectively part of the EU or EEA then such transfers of Personal Data to and from the United Kingdom will be treated as a non-EU or EEA country and the terms of this Section 7.1.1 will apply accordingly.
    2. Subject to Section 7.1.1, the Standard Contractual Clauses apply to (i) the legal entity that has executed the Agreement and is the Controller and, (ii) all Affiliates (as defined in the Agreement) of Customer established within the EEA and Switzerland or the United Kingdom that have licensed the Service. For the purpose of the Standard Contractual Clauses and this Section 7, the aforementioned entities shall be deemed “Controllers”.
  2. Objective and Duration. The objective of Processing of Personal Data by Monte Carlo is the provision of the Service pursuant to the Agreement for the term(s) of the Agreement.
  3. Subprocessors. Pursuant to this DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses, Customer acknowledges and expressly agrees that: (a) Monte Carlo’s Affiliates may be retained as Subprocessors; and (b) Monte Carlo and Monte Carlo’s Affiliates respectively may engage third-party Subprocessors in connection with the provision of the Service or support services.
    1. Liability. Monte Carlo shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Subprocessors to the same extent Monte Carlo would be liable if performing the services of each Subprocessor directly.
    2. List of Current Subprocessors and Notification of New Subprocessors. A list of current Subprocessors for the Service is available upon request and Customer agrees to Monte Carlo’s use of the listed Subprocessors as of the execution of this DPA. Monte Carlo shall notify Customer if it adds or replaces any Subprocessors prior to any such changes if Customer subscribes to such notifications by sending an email to privacy@montecarlodata.com with the subject line “Subprocessor Notification Request” (or by other means established by Monte Carlo and communicated to Customer from time to time) This notification process is Monte Carlo’s only responsibility for notifying Customer of a new Subprocessor.
    3. Objection to Sub-processors. Customer may object in writing to Monte Carlo’s appointment of a new Subprocessor on reasonable grounds relating to data protection (e.g. if making Personal Data available to the Sub-processor may violate applicable Data Protection Laws) by notifying Monte Carlo promptly in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of Monte Carlo’s notice in accordance with Section 7.3.2 above. Such notice shall explain the reasonable grounds for the objection and the parties shall discuss such concerns in good faith with a view to achieving commercially reasonable resolution.  If no such resolution can be reached, Monte Carlo will, at its sole discretion, either not appoint that proposed Subprocessor, or permit Customer in writing 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).
    4. Subprocessor Agreements. Monte Carlo or a Monte Carlo Affiliate has entered into a written agreement with each Subprocessor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this Agreement to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Subprocessor.
  4. Audits and Certifications. The parties agree that the audits described in the Standard Contractual Clauses and otherwise required by Applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations shall be carried out in accordance with the following specifications:
    1. Upon Customer’s request, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement, Monte Carlo shall make available to Customer (or Customer’s independent, third-party auditor that is not a competitor of Monte Carlo) information demonstrating Monte Carlo’s compliance with the obligations set forth in this DPA in the form of the certifications and audit reports for the Services. Examples of potentially relevant certifications and audit reports include: SOC 2, SOC 3; ISO 27001; ISO 27701, Binding Corporate Rules; APEC Cross Border Privacy Rules System; EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shields; industry codes of conduct or their successor frameworks. In the event Customer does not find the certifications and audit reports suitable, Monte Carlo will make its applicable premises and personnel available to Customer for audit upon request but no more than once annually and at Customer’s cost. Before the commencement of any such audit, Customer and Monte Carlo shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit in addition to the reimbursement rate for which Customer shall be responsible. All reimbursement rates shall be reasonable, taking into account the resources expended by Monte Carlo. Customer shall promptly notify Monte Carlo with information regarding any non-compliance discovered during the course of an audit and all findings during the audit shall be considered confidential information between Customer and Monte Carlo except as expressly required otherwise by Data Protection Laws and Regulations. If material non-compliance is discovered during Customer’s audit, Monte Carlo shall bear the costs.
  5. Return and Deletion of Personal Data. Where applicable based on the Service, Monte Carlo will return and delete Personal Data in accordance with the Agreement. Customer is responsible for the correction, amendment, blocking or deleting of Personal Data within its control within the Service.
  6. Privacy Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation. To the extent Monte Carlo is required under Data Protection Laws and Regulations, Monte Carlo will provide reasonably requested information regarding Monte Carlo’s processing of Customer Data under the Agreement, to the extent Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information and to the extent that such information is available to Monte Carlo, to enable the Customer to carry out data protection impact assessments or prior consultations with supervisory authorities as required by law.

Words and phrases defined in the CCPA shall have the same meaning in this Attachment 2 and all other terms shall have the meaning in the Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Attachment and the Agreement, this Attachment 2 will control but all other terms in the Agreement will otherwise remain in full force.

    3. To the extent commercially reasonable, Monte Carlo will limit personal information collection, use, retention, and disclosure to activities reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the Contracted Business Purposes or another compatible operational purpose.
    4. Monte Carlo must promptly comply with any Customer request or instruction requiring the Monte Carlo to provide, amend, transfer, or delete the personal information, or to stop, mitigate, or remedy any unauthorized processing. If Customer is able to amend, transfer, or delete the personal information itself and chooses Monte Carlo’s assistance, Customer agrees to pay reasonable fees for such assistance at a rate mutually agreed in advance between the parties.
    5. If the Contracted Business Purposes require the collection of personal information from individuals on the Customer’s behalf, Monte Carlo will always provide a CCPA-compliant notice addressing use and collection methods.
    6. If the CCPA permits, Monte Carlo may aggregate, deidentify, or anonymize personal information, so it no longer meets the personal information definition, and may use such aggregated, deidentified, or anonymized data for its own research and development purposes. Monte Carlo will not attempt to or actually re-identify any previously aggregated, deidentified, or anonymized data and will contractually prohibit downstream data recipients from attempting to or actually re-identifying such data.
  3. Assistance with CCPA Obligations:
    1. Monte Carlo will reasonably cooperate and assist Customer in responding to CCPA-related inquiries, including responding to verifiable consumer requests, taking into account the nature of Monte Carlo’s processing and the information available Monte Carlo.
    2. A party must notify the other party promptly if it receives any complaint, notice, or communication that directly or indirectly relates to either party’s compliance with the CCPA. Specifically, Monte Carlo must notify the Customer within five (5) working days if it receives a verifiable consumer request under the CCPA.
  4. Subcontracting:
    1. Monte Carlo may use subcontractors to provide the Contracted Business Services. Monte Carlo cannot make any disclosures to the subcontractor that the CCPA would treat as a sale and Monte Carlo shall ensure appropriate terms no less protective than those in this Attachment are entered into between Monte Carlo and the subcontractor.
    2. Monte Carlo remains fully liable for each subcontractor’s performance to the same extent if Monte Carlo were performing itself.
    3. Upon the Customer’s written request, Monte Carlo will provide Customer with information and reports demonstrating Monte Carlo’s compliance with the obligations in this Attachment.
  5. Certifications:
    1. Both parties will comply with all applicable requirements of the CCPA when collecting, using, retaining, or disclosing personal information.
    2. Monte Carlo certifies that it understands this Attachment’s and the CCPA’s restrictions and prohibitions on selling personal information and retaining, using, or disclosing personal information outside of the parties’ business relationship, and Monte Carlo will comply with them.
