  3. Duration. The term of this DPA shall follow the term of the Agreement. EventBuilder will Process Personal Data for the duration of the Agreement, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
  4. Processing of Customer Data. EventBuilder shall process Customer Data only for the purposes described in the Agreement (including this DPA) or as otherwise agreed within the scope of Customer’s lawful Instructions, except where and to the extent otherwise required by Applicable Law. If EventBuilder is collecting Personal Data from Attendees on behalf of Customer, EventBuilder shall follow Customer’s Instructions regarding such Personal Data collection. EventBuilder shall inform Customer without delay if, in EventBuilder’s opinion, an Instruction violates applicable Data Protection Laws and, where necessary, cease all Processing until Customer issues new Instructions with which EventBuilder is able to comply. If this provision is invoked, EventBuilder will not be liable to Customer under the Agreement for any failure to perform the Services until such time as Customer issues new lawful Instructions.

Additionally, EventBuilder shall take reasonable steps to ensure that, (i) persons employed by EventBuilder, and (ii) other persons engaged to perform on EventBuilder’s behalf, comply with the terms of the Agreement.
  6. Customer Responsibilities. Within the scope of the Agreement (including this DPA) and in Customer’s use of the Services, Customer shall comply with all Applicable Laws, including without limitation all requirements that apply to Customer under Data Protection Laws with respect to its Processing of Personal Data and the Instructions it issues to EventBuilder. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer shall take sole responsibility for: (i) the accuracy, quality, and legality of Customer Data and the means by which Customer acquired Personal Data; (ii) complying with all necessary transparency and lawfulness requirements under applicable Data Protection Laws for the collection and use of the Personal Data, including obtaining any necessary consents and authorizations; (iii) ensuring Customer has the right to transfer, or provide access to, the Personal Data to EventBuilder for Processing in accordance with the terms of the Agreement (including this DPA); (iv) ensuring that Customer’s Instructions to EventBuilder regarding the Processing of Customer Data comply with Applicable Laws; and (v) complying with all Applicable Laws (including Data Protection Laws) applicable to Customer’s use of the Services, including without limitation those relating to providing notice and obtaining consents. Customer shall inform EventBuilder without undue delay if it is not able to comply with this section or applicable Data Protection Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, EventBuilder is not responsible for compliance with any Data Protection Laws applicable to Customer or Customer's industry that are not generally applicable to EventBuilder.
  7. Sub-Processors. Customer agrees that EventBuilder may engage Sub-Processors to Process Customer Data. Where EventBuilder engages Sub-Processors, EventBuilder will impose data protection terms on the Sub-Processors that provide at least the same level of protection for Personal Data as those in this DPA, to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Sub-Processors. EventBuilder will remain responsible for each Sub-Processor’s compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of such Sub-Processor that cause EventBuilder to breach any of its obligations under this DPA. EventBuilder shall maintain on its website a list of current Sub-Processors engaged to Process Customer Data and shall notify Customer of any changes to the Sub-Processors list through in-product notifications, email or other means.
  8. 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, EventBuilder shall, in relation to the Customer Data, maintain appropriate technical and organizational Security Measures designed to protect against unauthorized or accidental access, loss, alteration, disclosure or destruction of Customer Data. In assessing the appropriate level of security, EventBuilder shall take account of the risks that are presented by Processing, in particular from a Personal Data Breach. Upon request, EventBuilder shall provide Customer with a summary of EventBuilder’s security policies applicable to the Services.
  9. Data Transfers. Customer acknowledges and agrees that EventBuilder may access and Process Personal Data on a global basis as necessary to provide the Services in accordance with the Agreement, and in particular that Personal Data will be transferred to and processed by EventBuilder in the United States and to other jurisdictions where EventBuilder’s Sub-Processors have operations. Transfers of Personal Data regarding Data Subjects in the EU, UK, or Switzerland to the U.S. or otherwise are additionally subject to the terms in Section 15(c).
  10. Personal Data Breaches. EventBuilder will notify Customer without undue delay after EventBuilder becomes aware of any Personal Data Breach involving Customer Data, and will provide timely information relating to such Personal Data Breach as it becomes known or reasonably requested by Customer. At Customer’s request, EventBuilder will promptly provide Customer with commercially reasonable assistance as necessary to enable Customer to notify authorities and/or affected Data Subjects, if Customer is required to do so under Data Protection Laws.
  11. Data Subject Requests. As part of the Services, EventBuilder provides Customer with a number of controls that Customer may use to access, correct, delete, or restrict Personal Data, which Customer may use to assist in connection with its obligations under Data Protection Laws, including its obligations relating to responding to requests from Data Subjects to exercise their rights under applicable Data Protection Laws ("Data Subject Requests"). Customer will instruct Data Subjects and Consumers that access the Services through Customer to submit any Data Subject Requests or other inquiries to Customer and will provide appropriate mechanisms for opt-out and exercise of such rights. To the extent that Customer is unable to independently address a Data Subject Request through the Services, then upon Customer's written request EventBuilder shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer to respond to any Data Subject Requests or requests from data protection authorities relating to the Processing of Customer Data under the Agreement. Customer shall reimburse EventBuilder for the commercially reasonable costs arising from this assistance. If a Data Subject Request or other communication regarding the Processing of Customer Data under the Agreement is made directly to EventBuilder, EventBuilder will promptly inform Customer. Customer shall be solely responsible for facilitating any such Data Subject Requests or communications involving Personal Data.
  12. Data Protection Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation. To the extent EventBuilder is required under Data Protection Law, EventBuilder shall (at Customer's expense) provide reasonably requested information regarding EventBuilder's processing of Customer Data under the Agreement to enable Customer to carry out data protection impact assessments or prior consultations with data protection authorities as required by law.
  13. Deletion or Return of Personal Data. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, within 30 days EventBuilder will delete the Customer Data Processed pursuant to this DPA. During such 30-day period, EventBuilder will assist Customer in accessing such Customer Data Processed in accordance with Customer’s reasonable Instructions. The requirements of this section shall not apply to the extent that EventBuilder is required by Applicable Law to retain some or all of the Customer Data, or to Customer Data EventBuilder has archived on back-up systems, which data EventBuilder shall securely isolate and protect from any further Processing and delete in accordance with EventBuilder’s deletion practices.
  14. Demonstration of Compliance. EventBuilder shall maintain an audit program to help ensure compliance with the obligations set out in this DPA and shall make available to Customer information to demonstrate compliance with the obligations set out in this DPA as set forth in this Section 14. Upon Customer's written request and at reasonable intervals, EventBuilder shall make available to Customer (on a confidential basis) all information reasonably necessary, and allow for and contribute to audits by Customer or Customer’s third-party auditor, to demonstrate EventBuilder’s (and, upon specific written request, EventBuilder’s Sub-Processors') compliance with this DPA, provided that Customer shall act reasonably, in good faith, and in a proportional manner and Customer shall not exercise this right more than once per year. Customer shall take all reasonable measures to limit any impact on EventBuilder by combining several information and/or audit requests carried out on behalf of Customer in one single audit. Before any audit may commence, Customer and EventBuilder shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit and the reimbursement rate for which Customer shall be responsible. All reimbursement rates shall be reasonable, taking into account the resources expended by or on behalf of EventBuilder
  15. European Data. This Section 15 applies only with respect to Processing of European Data by EventBuilder.
    1. Roles of the Parties. When Processing European Data under the Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Customer is the Controller and EventBuilder is the Processor.
    2. Sub-Processors. In addition to the provisions of Section 7, within 30 days after posting an updated Sub-Processor List, Customer may object to EventBuilder’s engagement of a new Sub-Processor if Customer can demonstrate that such Sub-Processor’s Processing of European Data does not comply with European Data Protection Laws. If Customer so objects, the Parties will discuss Customer's concerns in good faith with a view to achieving a commercially reasonable resolution. If no such resolution can be reached, EventBuilder will, at its sole discretion, either not appoint the new Sub-Processor, or permit Customer to suspend or terminate the Agreement without liability to either party (but without prejudice to any fees incurred by Customer prior to suspension or termination).
    3. Data Transfers. In addition to Section 9, for transfers of European Personal Data to EventBuilder for processing by EventBuilder in a jurisdiction other than a jurisdiction in the EU, the EEA, or the European Commission-approved countries providing “adequate” data protection, EventBuilder will complete such transfer according to: (i) for Personal Data from the European Economic Area, the Controller-to-Processor SCCs set forth in Schedules 1 and 2; (ii) for Personal Data from the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar), the International Data Transfer Addendum set forth in Schedule 3; or (iii) another transfer mechanism that is valid at the time of the transfer, as applicable. If such data transfers rely on Controller-to-Processor SCCs to enable the lawful transfer of European Personal Data, as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Parties agree that Data Subjects for whom EventBuilder Processes European Personal Data are third-party beneficiaries under the Controller-to-Processor SCCs. If EventBuilder is unable or becomes unable to comply with these requirements, then: (a) EventBuilder shall notify Customer of such inability; and (b) any movement of European Personal Data to a non-EU country requires the prior written consent of Customer.
    4. Impact of local laws. As of the Effective Date, EventBuilder has no reason to believe that the laws and practices in any third country of destination applicable to its Processing of the Personal Data prevent EventBuilder from fulfilling its obligations under this DPA. If EventBuilder reasonably believes that any existing or future enacted or enforceable laws and practices in the third country of destination applicable to its Processing of the Personal Data (“Local Laws”) prevent it from fulfilling its obligations under this DPA, it shall promptly notify Customer. In such a case, EventBuilder shall use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Your configuration or use of the Services to facilitate compliance with the Local Laws without unreasonably burdening You. If EventBuilder is unable to make available such change promptly, Customer may terminate the applicable Order Form(s) and suspend the transfer of Personal Data in respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by EventBuilder in accordance with the Local Laws by providing written notice. Customer shall receive a refund of any prepaid fees for the period following the effective date of termination for such terminated Services.
    5. Data Protection Impact Assessments and Consultation with Supervisory Authorities. To the extent that the required information is reasonably available to EventBuilder, and Customer does not otherwise have access to the required information, EventBuilder will provide reasonable assistance to Customer with any data protection impact assessments, and prior consultations with supervisory authorities or other competent data privacy authorities to the extent required by European Data Protection Laws.
  16. California Personal Information. This Section 16 applies only with respect to Processing of California Personal Information by EventBuilder in EventBuilder’s capacity as a Service Provider.
    1. Roles of the Parties. When Processing California Personal Information in accordance with Customer's Instructions, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Customer is a Business and EventBuilder is the Service Provider for the purposes of the CCPA. Additionally, for the purposes of interpreting this DPA with respect to Processing of California Personal Information, the term “Controller” is replaced with “Business” and “Processor” is replaced with “Service Provider” wherever those terms appear in Sections 2 through 14 and Section 17 of this DPA.
    2. Responsibilities. The Parties agree that EventBuilder will process Attendees’ California Personal Information as a Service Provider strictly for the business purpose of performing the Services under the Agreement and as set forth in EventBuilder’s Privacy Notice New Tab: EventBuilder Privacy Notice. The Parties agree that EventBuilder shall not: (i) Sell or Share Attendees’ California Personal Information; (ii) retain, use, or disclose Attendees’ California Personal Information for a commercial purpose other than for such business purpose or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA; or (iii) retain, use, or disclose Attendees’ California Personal Information outside of the direct business relationship between Customer and EventBuilder
    3. Certification. EventBuilder hereby certifies that it understands and will comply with the restrictions of Section 16(b).
    4. No CCPA Sale. The Parties agree that Customer does not sell California Personal Information to EventBuilder because, as a Service Provider, EventBuilder may only use California Personal Information for the purposes of providing the Services to Customer
  17. Limitations of Liability. Except as specifically provided in the SCCs, this DPA forms part of the Agreement and all activities under this DPA remain subject to the applicable limitations of liability set forth in the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, EventBuilder’s and its Affiliates’ total liability for all claims from Customer and all of its Authorized Affiliates arising out of or related to the Agreement and all DPAs shall apply in the aggregate for all claims under both the Agreement and all DPAs established under the Agreement, including by Customer and all Authorized Affiliates, and, in particular, shall not be understood to apply individually and severally to Customer and/or to any Authorized Affiliate that is a contractual party to any such DPA. Additionally, Customer agrees that any regulatory fines or penalties incurred by Customer in relation to the Customer Data that arise as a result of, or in connection with, Customer's failure to comply with its obligations under this DPA or any applicable Data Protection Laws shall count toward and reduce EventBuilder’s liability under the Agreement as if it were liability to Customer under the Agreement.
  18. General. Customer represents that it is authorized to, and hereby agrees to, enter into and be bound by this DPA for and on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates and subsidiaries, thereby establishing a separate DPA between EventBuilder and Customer and each of Customer’s affiliates and subsidiaries subject to the Agreement, as applicable. The limitations of liability set forth in the Agreement shall apply to EventBuilder’s liability arising out of or relating to this DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses (where applicable), taken in the aggregate along with the Agreement and any other agreement between the Parties. In case of any conflict or inconsistency with the terms of the Agreement, this DPA shall take precedence over the terms of the Agreement to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency. If any individual provisions of this DPA are determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this DPA shall not be affected. We periodically update this Agreement. Current Customers will be informed of any modification by email, alert on the customer dashboard or portal or by other means.
