2.
Compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws. The parties agree that save where expressly stated, Customer is a Controller and Multiply is a Processor for the purposes of processing Protected Data pursuant to the Agreement. The parties enter into this Schedule to comply with Article 28 of the GDPR. Customer shall at all times comply with all Applicable Privacy Laws in connection with the processing of Protected Data. Customer shall ensure all instructions given by it to Multiply in respect of Protected Data (including the terms of this Schedule) shall at all times be in accordance with Applicable Privacy Laws. Nothing in this Schedule relieves either party of any responsibilities or liabilities under the Applicable Privacy Laws.
3.
Multiply’s compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws. (a) Multiply as a Processor. The Multiply Platform shall process Protected Data in compliance with the obligations placed on it as a Processor under Applicable Privacy Laws and the terms of this Schedule. (b) Multiply as a Controller. Where Multiply processes Personal Data of, or provided by, Customer for the purposes of providing Multiply’s business and services (including for its business and development of the Multiply Platform, customer and account management, the provision of support services and any related marketing activities), Multiply is acting as a Controller of such Personal Data which will be processed at all times pursuant to Multiply’s Privacy Policy (available via the link set out in Part A of this Schedule).
4.
Instructions. Multiply shall only process (and shall ensure that it’s personnel and Sub-Processors only process) the Protected Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions set out at Part A of this Schedule and the terms of this Schedule, except to the extent: (i) that alternative processing instructions are agreed between the parties in writing; or (ii) as is otherwise required by applicable law (and Multiply shall inform Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless applicable law prevents it doing so on important grounds of public interest). If Multiply believes that any instruction received by it from Customer does or is likely to infringe the Applicable Privacy Laws it shall be entitled to cease to provide the relevant services under the Agreement until the parties have agreed appropriate amended instructions which are not infringing.
5.
Security. To protect the Protected Data against accidental, unauthorised or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or access, Multiply shall implement and maintain the technical and organisational measures in accordance with Multiply’s security commitment set out in Part B of this Schedule.
6.
Sub-processing. (a) Multiply shall maintain and make available a list of its authorised Sub-Processors which may be updated by Multiply in its discretion from time to time. The current list of Sub-Processors is set out at Part A of this Schedule. Multiply will notify Customer of any new or replacement Sub-Processor(s) appointed to process Protected Data in connection with the provision of the relevant part of the Multiply services. Customer may reasonably object to Multiply’s appointment of new or replacement of a Sub-Processor by notifying Multiply promptly in writing, and in any case, within ten (10) business days after receipt of Multiply’s notification. Past this timeframe, Customer shall be deemed to have accepted any such new or replacement Sub-Processors. If Customer wishes to object, it shall provide in its notification to Multiply the reasonable grounds for the objection, which must relate to compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws. (b) In the event Customer reasonably objects to the replacement or use of a new Sub-Processor, as permitted in section 6(a), Multiply will use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Multiply services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of Multiply services to avoid processing of Protected Data by the objected-to replacement or new Sub-Processor. If Multiply does not or is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time Customer may terminate the applicable part of the Multiply service which cannot be provided by Multiply without the use of the objected-to replacement or new Sub-Processor, upon providing no less than thirty (30) business days written notice to Multiply.

Customer’s termination under this Section 6(b) will not relieve Customer of its payment obligations under the Agreement or trigger any refund of pre-paid fees. (c) Prior to the relevant Sub-Processor carrying out any processing activities in respect of the Protected Data, Multiply shall ensure that each Sub-Processor is bound by a written contract containing materially similar obligations as those set out under this Schedule. Multiply shall: (i) remain fully liable to Customer under this Schedule for all the acts and omissions of each Sub-Processor as if they were committed by Multiply (but not to a greater extent than that); and (ii) ensure that all persons authorised by Multiply(including Multiply’s personnel) or any Sub-Processor to process Protected Data are subject to a binding written contractual obligation to keep the Protected Data confidential.

Multiply shall (at Customer’s cost) taking into account the nature of the processing, assist Customer (by appropriate technical and organisational measures), insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Customer’s obligations to respond to requests for exercising the Data Subjects’ rights under Chapter III of the GDPR (and any similar obligations under Applicable Privacy Laws) in respect of any Protected Data.

Personal Data Breach. Multiply shall notify Customer without undue delay and in writing on becoming aware of any Personal Data Breach in respect of any Protected Data.
11.
Deletion/Return. Upon termination of provision of the services under the Agreement relating to the processing of Protected Data, at Customer’s cost and Customer’s option, Multiply shall either return all of the Protected Data to Customer or securely dispose of the Protected Data (and thereafter promptly delete all existing copies of it) except to the extent that any applicable law requires Multiply to store such Protected Data. If Customer does not exercise its return option under this Section 11 within sixty (60) Business Days following termination or expiry of the Agreement for whatever reason, Multiply shall have no obligation to keep any Protected Data and will proceed to automatic deletion of such Protected Data. The deletion/return requirement shall not apply to Multiply to the extent that: (a) Multiply is the Controller of any Personal Data (in such case, such Personal Data shall be retained in accordance with Multiply’s Privacy Policy); (b) any Protected Data has been anonymised or aggregated so that Data Subjects or Customer cannot be personally and individually identified (“Aggregated Data”). Such Aggregated Data is not Personal Data for the purposes of Applicable Privacy Laws and Customer expressly acknowledges that Multiply may process such Aggregated Data as it sees fit, including for its own business and product improvement.
12.
Liability. When acting as separate Controllers (or where the parties are deemed to be Joint Controllers) of any Protected Data or any Personal Data hereunder, each party shall only be liable for its own breach of the Applicable Privacy Laws or of this Schedule and shall not be jointly and/or severally liable with the other party for the other party’s breach. Accordingly, each party (“Party A”) agrees to hold harmless and to indemnify the other party (“Party B”) for any losses incurred by Party B due to the breach of the Applicable Privacy Laws by Party A arising out of or in connection with a party’s processing activity of Personal Data or Protected Data. In all cases, Multiply’s liability arising out of or in connection with this Schedule or the Applicable Privacy Laws shall be subject to the cap on liability set forth in the Agreement.

Part B: Minimum technical and organisational security measures
In accordance with Applicable Privacy Laws, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing of the Protected Data to be carried out under or in connection with this Agreement, as well as the risks of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons and the risks that are presented by the processing, especially from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to the Protected Data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, Multiply shall implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the risk, including, as appropriate, those matters mentioned in Articles 32(1)(a) to 32(1)(d) (inclusive) of the GDPR.
Part C: International Data Transfers
Customer acknowledges that Multiply and its Sub-Processors may process Protected Data in countries that are outside of the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland (European Countries). If Protected Data is transferred to a country or territory outside of European Countries, then such transfer will only take place if: (a) the country ensures an adequate level of data protection; or (b) one of the safeguards set out in Chapter V (Articles 44-50) of the GDPR or the UK GDPR (as applicable) or any equivalent under any successor legislation is satisfied.
A. EU Standard Contractual Clauses
Where Multiply processes Protected Data in non-EEA countries and such non-EEA country does not benefit from a finding of adequacy by the European Commission (or such finding of adequacy is withdrawn or not applicable to the processing under this Schedule), it shall comply with the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (annexed to EU Commission Decision 2021/914/EU of 4 June 2021) (the EU SCCs) which are incorporated by reference. You may request a copy of the EU SCCs and the UK SCCs at any time by emailing [email protected]. In the event that other data transfer mechanisms do not apply, the EU SCCS shall be entered into and incorporated into this Schedule by this reference and completed as follows: Module 2 (Controller to Processor) will apply where Customer is a controller of Protected Data and Multiply is a Processor of Protected Data, and the following Module 2 clauses shall apply: (i) in Clause 7, the optional docking clause will apply; (ii) in Clause 9, Option 2 will apply, and the time period for prior notice of Sub-Processor changes shall be as set out in Section 6 of this Schedule; (iii) in Clause 11, the optional language will not apply; (iv) in Clause 12, any claims brought under the EU SCCs shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. In no event shall any party limit its liability with respect to any data subject rights under the EU SCCs; (v) in Clause 13, the Supervisory Authority shall be the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY); (vi) in Clause 17, Option 1 will apply, will be governed by the laws of Sweden; (vii) Clause 18, the Parties agree to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of the courts of Stockholm, Sweden; (viii) Annex I of the EU SCCs shall be deemed completed with the information set out in the Agreement; (ix) Annex II of the EU SCCs shall be deemed completed with the information set out in Part B to this Schedule; and (x) Annex III of the EU SCCs shall be deemed completed with the information set out in Part C to this Schedule.
B. UK Standard Contractual Clauses
To the extent any export from or processing of Protected Data outside the UK is subject to Applicable Privacy Laws in the UK (including the UK Data Protection Legislation), for so long as it is lawfully permitted to rely on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of Protected Data to processors set out in the European Commission’s Decision 2010/87/EU (Prior C2P SCCs), the Prior C2P SCCs shall apply between Customer and Multiply on the following basis: (i) Appendix I and II shall be deemed completed with the relevant information set out in Annex I and II to this DPA; (ii) references in the Clauses to “the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established” shall be deemed to mean “the law of England and Wales”; (iii) the optional illustrative indemnification clause will not apply; and (iv) any other obligation in the Clauses determined by the Member State in which the data exporter is established shall be deemed to refer to an obligation under the UK Data Protection Legislation. Where the Prior C2P SCCs do not apply and the parties are lawfully permitted to rely on the EU SCCs for transfers of Personal Data from the UK subject to completion of a UK Addendum to the EU SCCs issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office under s.119A(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018 (UK Addendum). If neither the Prior C2P SCCs or UK Addendum with EU SCCs applies, then the parties shall cooperate in good faith to implement appropriate safeguards for transfers of such Protected Data as required or permitted by the UK Data Protection Legislation without undue delay.
