SCHEDULE 1
DATA PROCESSING TERMS
1. Definitions.
a. All terms used without definition in this DPA have the meanings ascribed to them: first, in the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (GDPR); and second; in the Vendor Agreement.
b. "Data Subject" means the identified or identifiable person to whom Personal Data relates.
c. "Subprocessor" means any processor engaged by Proofpoint to process Personal Data.
d. "Supervisory" Authority means a public authority which is established by an EU Member State pursuant to GDPR.
2. Processing of Personal Data.
It is the intent of the parties that, with respect to the activities described in Appendix 1, Controller’s European Union affiliated companies (or their affiliates or clients) will be the data controller/ data exporter and Processor will be the data processor/ data importer to the extent it processes Personal Data. Processor agrees and warrants that its instructions to Controller regarding the processing of Personal Data are and shall be in accordance with the relevant provisions of the applicable data protection laws. The Vendor Agreement and this DPA hereby form Controller’s instructions to Processor regarding: (1) the processing of Personal Data, and (2) the transfer such Personal Data to any country or territory, when reasonably necessary for the provision of the Services.
3. Rights of Data Subjects.
Beginning May 25, 2018 Processor will, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify Controller if Processor receives a request from a Data Subject to exercise the Data Subject’s right of access, right to rectification, restriction of processing, right to be forgotten, data portability, object to the processing, or its right not to be subject to an automated individual decision making. Processor shall assist Controller by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Controller’s obligation to respond to the Data Subject’s request.
4. Limited use of Personal Data & Personnel.
Processor (i) will not acquire any rights in or to the Personal Data; (ii) and (ii) Processor and its affiliates shall take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of any employee, agent or contractor of any contracted subprocessor who may have access to the Personal Data, ensuring in each case that access is strictly limited to those individuals who need to know access the relevant Personal Data, as strictly necessary for the purposes of the Vendor Agreement, and to comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws, ensuring that all such individuals are subject to confidentiality undertakings or professional or statutory obligations of confidentiality.
5. Subprocessors.
Controller acknowledges and agrees that (a) Processor’s affiliates may be retained as subprocessors; and (b) Processor and its affiliates respectively may engage third-party subprocessors in connection with the provision of the Services. Processor or its affiliate(s) has entered into a written agreement with each subprocessor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this Agreement with respect to the protection of Controller Data to the extent applicable to the nature of the Services provided by such subprocessor. Processor will be responsible for the acts and omissions of such subprocessors to the same extent Processor would be liable under this DPA if providing the Services directly. The current list of subprocessors for the Services is identified in Appendix 3 of the Standard Contractual Clauses (attached hereto as Schedule 2). Controller may object to Processor’s use of a new subprocessor by notifying Processor in writing. In the event Controller objects to a new subprocessor Processor will (after receipt of Controller’s written objection as stated in the previous sentence) reasonably determine whether accommodations can be made available to Controller to avoid processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new subprocessor without unduly burdening or causing harm to the Controller. If Processor is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days Controller may terminate the applicable Vendor Agreement with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by Processor without the use of the objected-to new subprocessor by providing written notice to Processor within thirty (30) days of Processor’s determination.
6. Special Categories of Personal Data.
Processor shall be solely responsible for compliance with data protection and privacy laws, as applicable to Processor, including any personal data that requires special handling or special categories of personal data such as, without limitation, that which relates to an individual’s race or ethnicity, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, health, sex life, or personal finances.
7. Security of Personal Data.
a. General. Processor shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures for the security and protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or damage, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data. Processor will not materially decrease the overall security of the Services during the terms of the Vendor Agreement and this DPA. b. Specific Technical and Organizational measures. 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 Data Subjects, Processor and its affiliates will implement the measures described In Appendix 2.
8. Cooperation with Supervisory Authorities.
Upon Controller’s request, Processor shall provide Controller with reasonable cooperation and assistance, to fulfill Controller’s obligation under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) to carry out a data protection impact assessment related to Controller’s use of its Services. Processor shall provide assistance to Controller in the cooperation or prior consultation with the Supervisory Authority in the performance of its tasks relating to Section 7 of this DPA, to the extent required under the GDPR. Additionally, in connection with the Supervisory Authority’s request, at Controller’s expense Processor shall make reasonable efforts to acquire the reasonable cooperation and assistance of subprocessors in providing access to relevant information needed to fulfill Controller’s obligations under GDPR.
9. Legal and Other Disclosures.
In the event that Processor is legally obliged to disclose Controller Data to satisfy legal requirements; comply with law; respond to lawful requests or legal process; or otherwise in accordance with this DPA, promptly after it becomes aware that it will be legally obliged to make such a disclosure it shall, unless prohibited by law, notify Controller in writing of the legal directive, the reason and the form of the disclosure.
10. Personal Data Breach.
a. In the event of a known unauthorized use, disclosure or acquisition by a third party of Personal Data that compromises the security, confidentiality, or integrity of Personal Data maintained by Processor (“Security Breach”), Processor will notify Controller in writing of the breach within 48 hours and provide periodic updates afterwards.
b. If either party’s negligence directly and solely causes a Security Breach and such unauthorized third party is one whom is reasonably suspected to misuse such Personal Data, then the negligent party shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses for breach notification and credit monitoring as required by applicable law for a period of twelve (12) months.
11. Privacy Shield.

The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.
The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any data subprocessor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.
The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any data subprocessor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any data subprocessor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).
Clause 9
Governing Law
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
Clause 10
Variation of the contract
The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.
Clause 11
Processing
The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the data subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the data subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the data subprocessor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the data subprocessor’s obligations under such agreement.
The prior written contract between the data importer and the data subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the data subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services
The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
Data importer warrants that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.
