2. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES; PROCESSING OF DATA
2.1 The parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the processing of Personal Data, Customer may act either as a controller or processor and, except as expressly set forth in this DPA or the Agreement, Adaline is a processor. Customer shall, in its use of the Services, process Personal Data, and provide instructions for the processing of Personal Data, in compliance with Data Protection Laws. Customer shall ensure that the processing of Personal Data in accordance with Customer's instructions will not cause Adaline to be in breach of the Data Protection Laws. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of (i) the Personal Data provided to Adaline by or on behalf of Customer, (ii) the means by which Customer acquired any such Personal Data, and (iii) the instructions it provides to Adaline regarding the processing of such Personal Data. Customer shall not provide or make available to Adaline any Personal Data in violation of the Agreement or otherwise inappropriate for the nature of the Services, and shall indemnify Adaline from all claims and losses in connection therewith.
2.2 Adaline shall not process Personal Data (i) for purposes other than those set forth in the Agreement and/or Exhibit A, (ii) in a manner inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this DPA or any other documented instructions provided by Customer, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organization, unless required to do so by Supervisory Authority to which Adaline is subject; in such a case, Adaline shall inform the Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest, or (iii) in violation of Data Protection Laws. Customer hereby instructs Adaline to process Personal Data in accordance with the foregoing and as part of any processing initiated by Customer in its use of the Services.
2.3 The subject matter, nature, purpose, and duration of this processing, as well as the types of Personal Data collected and categories of Data Subjects, are described in Exhibit A to this DPA.
2.4 Following completion of the Services, at Customer's choice, Adaline shall return or delete Customer's Personal Data, unless further storage of such Personal Data is required or authorized by applicable law. If return or destruction is impracticable or prohibited by law, rule or regulation, Adaline shall take measures to block such Personal Data from any further processing (except to the extent necessary for its continued hosting or processing required by law, rule or regulation) and shall continue to appropriately protect the Personal Data remaining in its possession, custody, or control. If Adaline will be transferring Personal Data outside of the European Union under the Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6 (Transfers of Personal Data), the parties agree that the certification of deletion of Personal Data that is described in Clause 12(1) of the UK SCCs and Clause 8.1(d) and Clause 8.5 of the EU SCCs (as applicable) shall be provided by Adaline to Customer only upon Customer's request.
2.5 CCPA/CPRA. Except with respect to Customer Account Data and Customer Usage Data, the parties acknowledge and agree that Adaline is a service provider for the purposes of the CCPA/CPRA (to the extent it applies) and is receiving personal information from Customer in order to provide the Services pursuant to the Agreement, which constitutes a business purpose. Adaline shall not sell any such personal information. Adaline shall not retain, use or disclose any personal information provided by Customer pursuant to the Agreement except as necessary for the specific purpose of performing the Services for Customer pursuant to the Agreement, or otherwise as set forth in the Agreement or as permitted by the CCPA/CPRA. The terms "personal information," "service provider," "sale," and "sell" are as defined in Section 1798.140 of the CCPA/CPRA. Adaline certifies that it understands the restrictions of this Section 2.5.
2.6 HIPAA. To the extent that Customer is a Covered Entity or Business Associate under HIPAA and Adaline is a Business Associate or subcontractor (as those terms are defined in HIPAA) in relation to Protected Health Information ("PHI"), Adaline agrees to comply with the applicable requirements of HIPAA in connection with its use or disclosure of such PHI. If required by HIPAA, Adaline shall execute a Business Associate Agreement with Customer.
3. AUTHORIZED SUB-PROCESSORS
3.1 Customer acknowledges and agrees that Adaline may (1) engage its affiliates and the Authorized Sub-Processors listed in Exhibit B (the "List") to this DPA to access and process Personal Data in connection with the Services and (2) from time to time engage additional third parties for the purpose of providing the Services, including without limitation the processing of Personal Data. By way of this DPA, Customer provides general written authorization to Adaline to engage sub-processors as necessary to perform the Services.
3.2 The List may be updated by Adaline from time to time. Adaline provides a mechanism to subscribe to notifications of new Authorized Sub-Processors at https://adaline.ai/settings/subscriptions. Customer agrees to subscribe to such notifications if available. At least thirty (30) days before enabling any third party other than existing Authorized Sub-Processors to access or participate in the processing of Personal Data, Adaline will add such third party to the List and notify Customer via email. Customer may object to such an engagement by informing Adaline within thirty (30) days of receipt of the aforementioned notice by Customer, provided such objection is in writing and based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. Customer acknowledges that certain sub-processors are essential to providing the Services and that objecting to the use of a sub-processor may prevent Adaline from offering the Services to Customer.
3.3 If Customer reasonably objects to an engagement in accordance with Section 3.2, and Adaline cannot provide a commercially reasonable alternative within a reasonable period of time, Customer may discontinue the use of the affected Service by providing written notice to Adaline. Discontinuation shall not relieve Customer of any fees owed to Adaline under the Agreement.
3.4 If Customer does not object to the engagement of a third party in accordance with Section 3.2 within thirty (30) days of notice by Adaline, that third party will be deemed an Authorized Sub-Processor for the purposes of this DPA.
3.5 Adaline will enter into a written agreement with the Authorized Sub-Processor imposing on the Authorized Sub-Processor data protection obligations comparable to those imposed on Adaline under this DPA with respect to the protection of Personal Data. In case an Authorized Sub-Processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement with Adaline, Adaline will remain liable to Customer for the performance of the Authorized Sub-Processor's obligations under such agreement.
3.6 If Customer and Adaline have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6 (Transfers of Personal Data), (i) the above authorizations will constitute Customer's prior written consent to the subcontracting by Adaline of the processing of Personal Data if such consent is required under the Standard Contractual Clauses, and (ii) the parties agree that the copies of the agreements with Authorized Sub-Processors that must be provided by Adaline to Customer pursuant to Clause 5(j) of the UK SCCs or Clause 9(c) of the EU SCCs may have commercial information, or information unrelated to the Standard Contractual Clauses or their equivalent, removed by Adaline beforehand, and that such copies will be provided by Adaline only upon request by Customer.
4. SECURITY OF PERSONAL DATA
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, Adaline shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing Personal Data. Exhibit C sets forth additional information about Adaline's technical and organizational security measures.
5. TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA
5.1 The parties agree that Adaline may transfer Personal Data processed under this DPA outside the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland as necessary to provide the Services. Customer acknowledges that Adaline's primary processing operations take place in the United States, and that the transfer of Customer's Personal Data to the United States is necessary for the provision of the Services to Customer. If Adaline transfers Personal Data protected under this DPA to a jurisdiction for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision, Adaline will ensure that appropriate safeguards have been implemented for the transfer of Personal Data in accordance with Data Protection Laws.
5.2 Ex-EEA Transfers. The parties agree that ex-EEA Transfers are made pursuant to the EU SCCs, which are deemed entered into (and incorporated into this DPA by this reference) and completed as follows:
5.2.1 Module One (Controller to Controller) of the EU SCCs apply when Adaline is processing Personal Data as a controller pursuant to Section 9 of this DPA.
5.2.2 Module Two (Controller to Processor) of the EU SCCs apply when Customer is a controller and Adaline is processing Personal Data for Customer as a processor pursuant to Section 2 of this DPA.
5.2.3 Module Three (Processor to Sub-Processor) of the EU SCCs apply when Customer is a processor and Adaline is processing Personal Data on behalf of Customer as a sub-processor.
5.2.4 Module Four (Processor to Controller) of the EU SCCs apply when Customer is a processor of Customer Usage Data and Adaline processes Customer Usage Data as a controller.
5.3 For each module, where applicable the following applies:
5.3.1 The optional docking clause in Clause 7 does not apply.
5.3.2 In Clause 9, Option 2 (general written authorization) applies, and the minimum time period for prior notice of sub-processor changes shall be as set forth in Section 3.2 of this DPA;
5.3.3 In Clause 11, the optional language does not apply;
5.3.4 All square brackets in Clause 13 are hereby removed;
5.3.5 In Clause 17 (Option 1), the EU SCCs will be governed by Delaware law;

5.3.7 Exhibit B to this DPA contains the information required in Annex I of the EU SCCs;
5.3.8 Exhibit C to this DPA contains the information required in Annex II of the EU SCCs; and
5.3.9 By entering into this DPA, the parties are deemed to have signed the EU SCCs incorporated herein, including their Annexes.
5.4 Ex-UK Transfers. The parties agree that ex-UK Transfers are made pursuant to the UK SCCs, which are deemed entered into and incorporated into this DPA by reference, and completed as follows:
5.4.1 References to the GDPR will be deemed to be references to the UK GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018, references to "supervisory authorities" will be deemed to be references to the UK Information Commissioner, and references to "Member State(s)" or the EU will be deemed to be references to the UK.
5.4.2 The UK Controller-to-Processor SCCs apply when Adaline processes Customer's Personal Data as a processor. The illustrative indemnification clause does not apply. In Clause 4(f) the language "adequate protection within the meaning of Directive 95/46/EC" is deleted and replaced with "a level of data protection that is considered adequate under, or equivalent to, the applicable data protection law." Clause 9, Governing Law, shall read "The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established, but without prejudice to the rights and freedoms that data subjects may enjoy under their national data protection laws." In Clause 11(3), the language ", namely..." at the end of the sentence is hereby deleted. Exhibit B of this DPA serves as Appendix I of the UK Controller-to-Processor SCCs. Exhibit C of this DPA serves as Appendix II of the UK Controller-to-Processor SCCs.
5.4.3 The UK Controller-to-Controller SCCs apply when Adaline processes Customer's Personal Data as a controller pursuant to Section 9 of this DPA. Clause II(h) of the UK Controller-to-Controller SCCs shall be deemed to state that Adaline will process Personal Data in accordance with the data processing principles set forth in Annex A of the UK Controller-to-Controller SCCs. The illustrative commercial clause does not apply. Clause IV (Governing Law) shall read "The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established, but without prejudice to the rights and freedoms that data subjects may enjoy under their national data protection laws." Exhibit B of this DPA serves as Annex B of the UK Controller-to-Controller SCCs.
5.4.4 The parties acknowledge and agree that if any of the UK SCCs are replaced or superseded by new standard contractual clauses issued and approved pursuant to Article 46 of the UK GDPR and related provisions of the UK Data Protection Act 2018 ("New UK SCCs"), the Data Importer may give notice to the Data Exporter and, with effect from the date set forth in such notice, the application of the UK SCCs set forth in this DPA shall be amended so that the UK SCCs cease to apply to ex-UK Transfers, and the New UK SCCs specified in such notice shall apply going forward. To the extent that the use of the New UK SCCs require the parties to complete additional information, the parties shall reasonably and promptly work together to complete such additional information.
5.5 Supplementary Measures. In respect of any ex-EEA Transfer or ex-UK Transfer, the following supplementary measures shall apply:
5.5.1 As of the date of this DPA, the Data Importer has not received any formal legal requests from any government intelligence or security service/agencies in the country to which the Personal Data is being exported, for access to (or for copies of) Customer's Personal Data ("Government Agency Requests");
5.5.2 If, after the date of this DPA, the Data Importer receives any Government Agency Requests, Adaline shall attempt to redirect the law enforcement or government agency to request that data directly from Customer. As part of this effort, Adaline may provide Customer's basic contact information to the government agency. If compelled to disclose Customer's Personal Data to a law enforcement or government agency, Adaline shall give Customer reasonable notice of the demand and cooperate to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless Adaline is legally prohibited from doing so. Adaline shall not voluntarily disclose Personal Data to any law enforcement or government agency. Data Exporter and Data Importer shall (as soon as reasonably practicable) discuss and determine whether all or any transfers of Personal Data pursuant to this DPA should be suspended in the light of the such Government Agency Requests; and
5.5.3 The Data Exporter and Data Importer will meet regularly to consider whether:
(i) the protection afforded by the laws of the country of the Data Importer to data subjects whose Personal Data is being transferred is sufficient to provide broadly equivalent protection to that afforded in the EEA or the UK, whichever the case may be;
(ii) additional measures are reasonably necessary to enable the transfer to be compliant with the Data Protection Laws; and
(iii) it is still appropriate for Personal Data to be transferred to the relevant Data Importer, taking into account all relevant information available to the parties, together with guidance provided by the supervisory authorities.
5.5.4 If Data Protection Laws require the Data Exporter to execute the Standard Contractual Clauses applicable to a particular transfer of Personal Data to a Data Importer as a separate agreement, the Data Importer shall, on request of the Data Exporter, promptly execute such Standard Contractual Clauses incorporating such amendments as may reasonably be required by the Data Exporter to reflect the applicable appendices and annexes, the details of the transfer and the requirements of the relevant Data Protection Laws.
5.5.5 If either (i) any of the means of legitimizing transfers of Personal Data outside of the EEA or UK set forth in this DPA cease to be valid or (ii) any supervisory authority requires transfers of Personal Data pursuant to those means to be suspended, then Data Importer may by notice to the Data Exporter, with effect from the date set out in such notice, amend or put in place alternative arrangements in respect of such transfers, as required by Data Protection Laws.
6. RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS
6.1 Adaline shall, to the extent permitted by law, notify Customer upon receipt of a request by a Data Subject to exercise the Data Subject's right of: access, rectification, erasure, data portability, restriction or cessation of processing, withdrawal of consent to processing, and/or objection to being subject to processing that constitutes automated decision-making (such requests individually and collectively "Data Subject Request(s)"). If Adaline receives a Data Subject Request in relation to Customer's data, Adaline will advise the Data Subject to submit their request to Customer and Customer will be responsible for responding to such request, including, where necessary, by using the functionality of the Services. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that Data Subject Requests for erasure, restriction or cessation of processing, or withdrawal of consent to processing of any Personal Data are communicated to Adaline, and, if applicable, for ensuring that a record of consent to processing is maintained with respect to each Data Subject.
6.2 Adaline shall, at the request of the Customer, and taking into account the nature of the processing applicable to any Data Subject Request, apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to assist Customer in complying with Customer's obligation to respond to such Data Subject Request and/or in demonstrating such compliance, where possible, provided that (i) Customer is itself unable to respond without Adaline's assistance and (ii) Adaline is able to do so in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Customer shall be responsible to the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by Adaline.
7. ACTIONS AND ACCESS REQUESTS; AUDITS
7.1 Adaline shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Adaline, provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance where necessary for Customer to comply with its obligations under the GDPR to conduct a data protection impact assessment and/or to demonstrate such compliance, provided that Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information. Customer shall be responsible to the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by Adaline.
7.2 Adaline shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Adaline, provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance with respect to Customer's cooperation and/or prior consultation with any Supervisory Authority, where necessary and where required by the GDPR. Customer shall be responsible to the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by Adaline.
7.3 Adaline shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate its compliance with its obligations under this DPA, and retain such records for a period of three (3) years after the termination of the Agreement. Customer shall, with reasonable notice to Adaline, have the right to review, audit and copy such records at Adaline's offices during regular business hours.
7.4 Upon Customer's written request at reasonable intervals, and subject to reasonable confidentiality controls, Adaline shall, either (i) make available for Customer's review copies of certifications or reports demonstrating Adaline's compliance with prevailing data security standards applicable to the processing of Customer's Personal Data, or (ii) if the provision of reports or certifications pursuant to (i) is not reasonably sufficient under Data Protection Laws, allow Customer's independent third party representative to conduct an audit or inspection of Adaline's data security infrastructure and procedures that is sufficient to demonstrate Adaline's compliance with its obligations under Data Protection Laws, provided that (a) Customer provides reasonable prior written notice of any such request for an audit and such inspection shall not be unreasonably disruptive to Adaline's business; (b) such audit shall only be performed during business hours and occur no more than once per calendar year; and (c) such audit shall be restricted to data relevant to Customer. Customer shall be responsible for the costs of any such audits or inspections, including without limitation a reimbursement to Adaline for any time expended for on-site audits. If Customer and Adaline have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6 (Transfers of Personal Data), the parties agree that the audits described in Clause 5(f) and Clause 12(2) of the UK SCCs and Clause 8.9 of the EU SCCs shall be carried out in accordance with this Section 7.4.
7.5 Adaline shall immediately notify Customer if an instruction, in Adaline's opinion, infringes the Data Protection Laws or Supervisory Authority.
7.6 In the event of a Personal Data Breach, Adaline shall, without undue delay, inform Customer of the Personal Data Breach and take such steps as Adaline in its sole discretion deems necessary and reasonable to remediate such violation (to the extent that remediation is within Adaline's reasonable control).
7.7 In the event of a Personal Data Breach, Adaline shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Adaline, provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance necessary for Customer to comply with its obligations under the GDPR with respect to notifying (i) the relevant Supervisory Authority and (ii) Data Subjects affected by such Personal Data Breach without undue delay.
7.8 The obligations described in Sections 7.6 and 7.7 shall not apply in the event that a Personal Data Breach results from the actions or omissions of Customer. Adaline's obligation to report or respond to a Personal Data Breach under Sections 7.6 and 7.7 will not be construed as an acknowledgement by Adaline of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach.
8. ADALINE'S ROLE AS A CONTROLLER
The parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to Customer Account Data and Customer Usage Data, Adaline is an independent controller, not a joint controller with Customer. Adaline will process Customer Account Data and Customer Usage Data as a controller (i) to manage the relationship with Customer; (ii) to carry out Adaline's core business operations, such as accounting, audits, tax preparation and filing and compliance purposes; (iii) to monitor, investigate, prevent and detect fraud, security incidents and other misuse of the Services, and to prevent harm to Customer; (iv) for identity verification purposes; (v) to comply with legal or regulatory obligations applicable to the processing and retention of Personal Data to which Adaline is subject; and (vi) as otherwise permitted under Data Protection Laws and in accordance with this DPA and the Agreement. Adaline may also process Customer Usage Data as a controller to provide, optimize, and maintain the Services, to the extent permitted by Data Protection Laws. Any processing by Adaline as a controller of Customer Usage Data is processed for "contractual necessity", meaning that Adaline needs to process such data to perform under the Agreement, which enables Adaline to provide and improve the Services, or in furtherance of the legitimate interests of Adaline or third parties. Adaline may also de-identify or anonymize Personal Data to further Adaline's legitimate interests. When Adaline processes data due to contractual necessity, failure to provide such data, even Personal Data will result in Customer's inability to use some or all portions of the Services that require such data. From time to time Adaline may also need to process Personal Data to comply with a legal obligation, if it is necessary to protect the vital interests of Customer or other data subjects, or if it is necessary for a task carried out in the public interest.
9. AI AND MACHINE LEARNING
9.1 Customer acknowledges that Adaline may use pseudonymized or anonymized data derived from Customer Content Data for the purpose of training, testing, and improving its AI and machine learning models. Such use will be in compliance with applicable Data Protection Laws and Adaline's Privacy Policy.
9.2 Adaline will not use Personal Data contained in Customer Content Data to train AI models without obtaining explicit consent from Customer through a separate opt-in mechanism. If Customer provides such consent, Adaline will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect Personal Data during the AI training process.
9.3 Customer is responsible for ensuring that it has obtained all necessary rights, permissions, and consents to allow Adaline to use Customer Content Data as described in this Section 9 and elsewhere in this DPA or the Agreement.
10. CONFLICT
