Customer hereby instructs Arch to Process Customer Personal Data in accordance with the foregoing. If Arch is unable to Process Customer Personal Data pursuant to the Instructions due to legal requirements under applicable laws, Arch will inform the Customer of that legal requirement before Processing, unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Data Laws. Arch agrees to promptly inform the Customer if, in its reasonable opinion, an Instruction infringes any Applicable Data Laws.

Arch shall remain responsible and liable for its Personnel’s performance under, and compliance with, this DPA.

- Security Measures
- Arch shall implement and maintain industry-standard technical and organizational security measures that are reasonably designed to prevent unauthorized access to and disclosure of Customer Personal Data, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context and purposes of Arch’s Processing of Customer Personal Data as well as the risks to individuals, including, but not limited to, those measures set forth on Exhibit C hereto.
- Without prejudice to Arch’s obligations under this DPA, and elsewhere in the Agreement, Customer is responsible for its secure use of the Services, including, without limitation: (a) protecting account authentication credentials; (b) protecting the security of Customer Personal Data using third party tools not operated or controlled by Arch when in transit to and from the Services; and (c) implementing measures to allow Customer to backup and archive appropriately in order to restore availability and access to Customer Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident.

- New Engagements
- Arch will provide Customer reasonable prior notice, as required under Applicable Data Laws, before enabling any additional third-party Sub-Processors (other than Authorized Sub-Processors) to Process any Customer Personal Data in connection with the provision of the Services. Arch will notify Customer of such updates via email. Customer may object to the use of such third-party Sub-Processor in writing within 10 days of receipt of Customer’s receipt of the notice.
- If Customer reasonably objects to an engagement in accordance with this Section 4.2 of this DPA, Arch may provide Customer with a written description of commercially reasonable alternative(s), if any, to such engagement, including without limitation modification to the Services. If Arch does not provide or is unable to make available any such alternative(s) within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 30 days), or if Customer does not agree to any such alternative(s) upon its reasonable and good faith consideration, either party may terminate this DPA and the Agreement, without penalty, upon written notice to the other party. In which case, Arch will refund Customer any prepaid and unused fees covering the remainder of the Service term of any then-current Service Order(s) following the effective date of termination.
- If Customer does not object to the engagement of a third-party Sub-Processor in accordance with this Section 4.2 of this DPA within 10 days of notice by Arch, that third-party Sub-Processor shall be deemed an Authorized Sub-Processor for the purposes of this DPA.
- Subprocessor Responsibility. Each Authorized Sub-Processor shall be bound by a written agreement which subjects the Authorized Sub-Processor to obligations regarding the Processing of Customer Personal Data that are no less protective than those to which Arch is subject under this DPA and to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by the Sub-Processors. Arch shall remain responsible and liable for its Authorized Sub-Processors’ performance under, and compliance with, this DPA.
- Security Incidents. Arch will inform Customer without unreasonable delay (but in no event, less than 48 hours), as soon as it has become aware of a Security Incident. Arch will provide all reasonable information in Arch’s possession concerning such Security Incident insofar as it affects Customer, including the following, to the extent then known: (i) the possible cause and consequences for the Data Subjects of the Security Incident; (ii) the categories of Customer Personal Data involved; (iii) a summary of the possible consequences for the relevant Data Subjects; (iv) a summary of the unauthorized recipients of the Customer Personal Data; and (v) the measures taken by Arch to mitigate any damage. Arch will use reasonable efforts to provide Customer updates of further developments concerning a Security Incident.
- Legal Disclosure and Data Subjects Requests
- Legal Disclosure Requests. If Arch receives any order, demand, warrant, or any other document requesting or purporting to compel the production of Personal Data Processed on behalf of Customer (“Disclosure Request”), Arch will notify Customer without undue delay, except to the extent otherwise required by laws applicable to Arch. Arch will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent and limit any such disclosure and to otherwise preserve the confidentiality of the Personal Data and will cooperate with Customer upon Customer’s reasonable request, with respect to any action taken in response to a Disclosure Request, to the extent it is commercially reasonable for Arch to do so.
- Data Subject Requests. As between the parties, Customer is responsible for handling and responding to all Data Subject Request relating to Customer Personal Data under Applicable Data Laws, including, but not limited to, communicating with the Data Subject who is the subject of the applicable Data Subject Request. If Arch receives a Data Subject Request in relation to Customer Personal Data, Arch will (i) promptly notify Customer of the request and provide a copy of the request to Customer; and (ii) advise the Data Subject to submit their request to Customer. Arch will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Customer with responding to any such request upon Customer’s written request for assistance; provided that, (i) Customer is itself unable to respond without Arch’s assistance and (ii) Arch is able to do so in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including, any Applicable Data Laws.
- Compliance Assistance. Arch shall, taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Arch, provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance where necessary for Customer to comply with obligations applicable to it under the Applicable Data Laws, including, but not limited to: (i) any requirements to conduct a data protection or transfer impact assessment, provided that Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information, or (ii) Customer’s cooperation or prior consultation with any Supervisory Authority, where necessary or where required by the Applicable Data Laws. Arch shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Customer, to the extent legally permitted, for reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by Arch in Arch’s performance of its obligations under Sections 6 and 7 of this DPA.
- Audits During the Term of this DPA, upon prior written request by Customer (not less than 30 days), Arch shall cooperate and within a reasonable time provide Customer with: (i) a summary of the audit reports available to Arch that demonstrate Arch’s material compliance with its obligations under Applicable Data Laws and this DPA with respect to Customer Personal Data, after redacting any confidential and commercially sensitive information; and (ii) confirmation that such audit has not revealed any material vulnerability in Arch’s systems, or to the extent that any such vulnerability was revealed, that Arch has taken steps to remediate such vulnerability (collectively, the “Audit Report”). If the above measures are insufficient to confirm Arch’s material compliance with Applicable Data Laws or this DPA with respect to Customer Personal Data, then subject to Arch’s reasonable confidentiality and security procedures, Arch will permit Customer, or an independent third party auditor that is mutually agreed upon by the parties, at Customer’s sole cost and expense, to audit Arch’s data protection compliance program (“Customer Audit”). Any Customer Audit must be conducted during Arch’s normal business hours, and the parties must mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of a Customer Audit in advance of a Customer Audit. In addition, Customer acknowledges that Arch operates a multi-tenant cloud environment. Accordingly, Arch shall have the right to reasonably adapt the scope of any Customer Audit to avoid or mitigate risks with respect to, and including, service levels, availability, and confidentiality of Arch’s other customers’ information.
The Audit Reports and results of any Customer Audit, which may include the results of any written reports in connection with a Customer Audit, shall be deemed Arch’s Confidential Information. Customer may only request an Audit Report (and any related Customer Audit) once per consecutive 12 month period; provided that, in the event of a Security Incident, Customer may request a supplementary Audit Report, and if applicable, a Customer Audit, in accordance with this Section. - RESTRICTED TRANSFERS
- Transfer Mechanism for Data Exports. For any transfers of Customer Personal Data to Arch where such Customer Personal Data originate from the European Economic Area or Switzerland, are subject to EU Data Protection Law (“EU Personal Data”) and are transferred to countries (or territories or sectors within a country) or international organizations which do not benefit from an adequacy decision under EU Data Protection Law, the parties hereby agree to, and incorporate herein, the standard contractual clauses set out in the Annex to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (available at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj) (“Standard Contractual Clauses”). Exhibit A to this DPA sets forth the operative provisions of the Standard Contractual Clauses and additional terms agreed upon by the parties with respect to transfers of EU Personal Data.
- Data Exports from the UK. Where applicable, the parties agree to and incorporate by reference the International Data Transfer Addendum available at https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisations/documents/4019539/international-data-transfer-addendum.pdf (“UK Addendum”) to the Standard Contractual Clauses. For the avoidance of doubt, references to Standard Contractual Clauses throughout this DPA shall include, where applicable, the UK Addendum.
- Data Exports from Switzerland. For data transfers where Customer is established in Switzerland or the transfer falls within the territorial scope of application of Swiss Data Laws, the Standard Contractual Clauses also apply to the transfer of information relating to an identified or identifiable legal entity where such information is protected similarly as Personal Data under Swiss Data Laws until such laws are amended to no longer apply to a legal entity. In such circumstances, general and specific references in the Standard Contractual Clauses to GDPR or EU or other applicable EU Data Laws shall have the same meaning as the equivalent reference in Swiss Data Laws.
- Integration; Conflicts. The relevant provisions contained in the Standard Contractual Clauses are incorporated by reference and are an integral part of this DPA. The Standard Contractual Clauses are subject to this DPA and the additional safeguards set out hereunder. The rights and obligations afforded by the Standard Contractual Clauses will be exercised in accordance with this DPA, unless stated otherwise. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the body of this DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail with respect to EU Personal Data.
- Onward Transfers. Arch shall not transfer Customer Personal Data (nor permit Customer Personal Data to be transferred) outside of its country of origin unless Arch takes such measures as are necessary to ensure the transfer is in compliance with Applicable Data Laws. With respect to transfers of EU Personal Data outside of the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or the European Economic Area to a country or territory that has not received a binding adequacy decision by a competent national data protection authority (a restricted transfer), such transfer shall be subject to appropriate safeguards in accordance with EU Data Laws, and the Standard Contractual Clauses, or such other appropriate safeguard provided for under EU Data Law, shall apply.
- Amendments to this DPA. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this DPA, if any change in Applicable Data Laws may require or result in any variation to this DPA, Arch shall modify this DPA as necessary to incorporate such change(s) and provide a copy of the modified DPA to Customer. Customer shall notify Arch of any objection to such modifications of the DPA within 30 days of Arch’s delivery of such modified DPA to Customer. If Arch does not receive any objection from Customer within this 30 day period, Customer shall be deemed to have accepted such modifications and such modifications shall become binding and enforceable as part of this DPA. Should Customer submit objections to Arch within the above-referenced 30 days, Customer and Arch agree to discuss and negotiate in good faith any such necessary modifications to this DPA to address the changes with a view to agreeing and implementing modifications as mutually agreeable to both Customer and Arch as soon as is reasonably practicable but no later than 30 days following Arch’s receipt of Customer’s objections. If Customer and Arch are unable to reach agreement on modifications to this DPA within such 30 day time period and do not mutually agree in writing to extend the negotiation period prior to expiration of such 30 day period, either party may terminate the Agreement upon written notice to the other party, and Arch will issue a pro rata refund for any Fees paid and unused under any then-current Service Order(s) corresponding to the time period between the effective date of termination and the expiration of the Agreement. Except as stated above or as otherwise expressly set forth in this DPA, this DPA may be modified or amended only in writing signed by both Arch and Customer.
- Order of Precedence. In the event of any conflict between this DPA and the Agreement or any Service Order(s), the following order of precedence shall apply (in descending order): (1) this DPA, (2) the Agreement, and (3) the Service Order(s). There shall be no force or effect to any different terms of any related statement of work, subscription order, purchase order, online terms of service, or similar form even if signed by the parties after the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, each party’s liability and remedies under this DPA are subject to the aggregate liability limitations and damages exclusions set forth in the Agreement.
- Governing Law. This DPA will be governed by and construed in accordance with the governing law and jurisdiction provisions in the Agreement, unless required otherwise by Applicable Data Laws.
- Severability. Should any provision of this DPA be held invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this DPA shall remain valid and in force. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be either (i) amended as necessary to ensure its validity and enforceability, while preserving the parties’ intentions as closely as possible or, if this is not possible, (ii) construed in a manner as if the invalid or unenforceable part had never been contained therein.
