Data Processing Addendum

This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) governs Customer Personal Data that you share with Portal AI Inc. (“Portal AI, “us”, “we”). This DPA supplements and incorporates the Portal AI Terms of Service (“Terms”) and governs in case of any conflict. Terms defined in those Terms have the same meaning here. Regardless of whether the Terms or other applicable agreement has terminated or expired, this DPA will remain in effect until, and automatically expire when, Portal AI deletes all Personal Data as described in this DPA.

Business Personal Data

The Portal AI Privacy Policy provides information on how we process Business Personal Data.

Customer Personal Data

In connection with the Customer Personal Data, you are the person that determines the purposes and means for which data is processed (the “Data Controller”), whereas Portal AI processes Customer Personal Data in accordance with your instructions and on your behalf (as a “Data Processor”). The terms “personal data,” “data subject,” “processing,” “data controller,” and “data processor” as used in this DPA have the meanings given by applicable privacy law or, absent any such meaning or law, by the European Union General Data Protection Regulation. Portal AI will process Customer Personal Data as your data processor only in accordance with your instructions as set out in the Terms and this DPA.

Portal AI’s Obligations

As a data processor, Portal AI agrees to process Customer Personal Data only for (a) the purpose of providing, operating, developing, updating, and improving our Service (including to provide insights, reporting, analytics, customer support, personalization, recommendations, and customization, and to keep the Service safe and secure); (b) in compliance your written instructions including this DPA; and (c) consistent with a data processor’s privacy obligations under applicable data privacy laws.

Portal AI will (a) promptly inform you if we discover that we cannot comply with the requirements of this DPA; (b) promptly inform you if, in our opinion, your instruction violates applicable data privacy laws; and (c) require our employees and others working on our behalf to agree to a confidentiality agreement with respect to Customer Personal Data and to comply with the data protection obligations that apply to us under the Terms and this DPA.

Portal AI will use only Sub-processors listed at Sub-processors (each a “Sub-processor”), as updated from time to time, to help us satisfy our obligations in accordance with this DPA or to delegate all or part of the processing activities to such Sub-processors. You hereby consent to the use of such Sub-processors. We will notify you of additions to this Sub-processor list at least 15 days before we allow the new Sub-processor to process Customer Personal Data. If you do not wish to consent to the use of the new Sub-processor, you may notify us within 15 days that you object and the reasonable grounds for your objection. If you object, you agree that we may choose one of the following solutions: (a) we will cancel our plans to use the Sub-processor with regards to processing Customer Personal Data or will offer an alternative to provide our Service without such Sub-processor; (b) we will take any corrective steps you request in your objection notice and proceed to use the Sub-processor; or (c) we may cease to provide the particular aspect or feature of our Service that would involve the use of such Sub-processor. If none of the above options are commercially feasible, in our reasonable judgment, and any objection has not been resolved to our mutual satisfaction within 30 days of our receipt of your objection, then either party may terminate any subscriptions, order forms or usage regarding the Service that cannot be provided without the use of the new Sub-processor for cause and in such case, you will be refunded any pre-paid fees for the applicable subscriptions, order forms or usage to the extent they cover periods or terms following the date of such termination. Such termination right is your sole and exclusive remedy if you object to any new Sub-processor. We will enter into contractual arrangements with each Sub-processor binding them to provide a comparable level of data protection and information security to that provided for herein. Subject to the limitations of liability included in the Terms, we agree to be liable for the acts and omissions of our Sub-processors to the same extent we would be liable under the terms of this DPA if we performed such acts or omissions ourselves.

Upon reasonable request no more than once per year, we will provide you with our privacy and security policies and other such information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations set forth in this DPA and applicable data protection laws.

Where required by law and upon reasonable notice and appropriate confidentiality agreements, Portal AI will cooperate with assessments, audits, or other steps performed by or on your behalf at your sole expense and in a manner that is minimally disruptive to our business, and only as necessary to confirm that we are processing Customer Personal Data in a manner consistent with this DPA. Where permitted by law, we may instead make available to you a summary of the results of a third-party audit or certification reports relevant to our compliance with this DPA. Such results, and/or the results of any such assessments, audits, or other steps shall be the Confidential Information of Portal AI.

Where the Customer Personal Data is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), Portal AI will not retain, use, disclose, or otherwise process Customer Personal Data except as necessary for the business purposes specified in the Terms or this DPA. Nor will Portal AI retain, use, disclose, or otherwise process Customer Personal Data in any manner outside of the direct business relationship between you and us. Nor will we combine any Customer Personal Data with Personal Data that we receive from or on behalf of any other third party, provided that Portal AI may so combine Customer Personal Data for a purpose permitted under the CCPA if you direct us to do so or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA. We do not compensate you in any form in exchange for Customer Personal Data, do not “sell” data as defined by the CCPA, or other privacy laws in the United States, and do not “share” data as defined under the CCPA.

Where required by law, Portal AI grants you the rights to: (a) take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that Portal AI uses Customer Personal Data in a manner consistent with applicable data privacy laws by exercising the audit provisions set forth in this DPA; and (b) stop and remediate unauthorized use of Customer Personal Data, for example by requesting that Portal AI provide written confirmation that applicable Customer Personal Data has been deleted.

Portal AI will inform you if we becomes aware of: (a) any legally binding request for disclosure of Customer Personal Data by a law enforcement authority, unless we are otherwise forbidden by law to inform you, for example to preserve the confidentiality of an investigation by law enforcement authorities; or (b) any notice, inquiry or investigation by an independent public authority established by a member state pursuant to Article 51 of the GDPR (a “Supervisory Authority”) with respect to Customer Personal Data.

Assistance to You

Portal AI will provide reasonable assistance to you regarding: (a) information necessary, taking into account the nature of the processing, to respond to requests received pursuant to applicable data privacy laws from your data subjects in respect of access to or the rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, blocking or deletion of Customer Personal Data that Portal AI processes for you. In the event that a data subject sends a complaint or request directly to us, and we are able to identify you as the data controller, we will promptly send you this request. We will not respond to any such request without your prior written authorization; (b) the investigation of any breach of Portal AI’s security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or unauthorized access to Customer Personal Data processed by Portal AI for you; and (c) where appropriate, the preparation of data protection impact assessments with respect to the processing of Customer Personal Data by Portal AI and, where necessary, carrying out consultations with any supervisory authority with jurisdiction over such processing.

Your Obligations

You represent, warrant, and covenant that you have and shall maintain throughout the term all necessary rights, consents, and authorizations to provide the Customer Personal Data to Portal AI and to authorize Portal AI to use, disclose, retain and otherwise process Customer Personal Data as contemplated by this DPA, the Terms and/or other processing instructions provided to Portal AI.

You shall comply with all applicable data privacy laws.

You shall reasonably cooperate with Portal AI to assist us in performing any of our obligations regarding any requests from your data subjects.

Without prejudice to Portal AI’s security obligations in this DPA, you acknowledge and agree that you, rather than Portal AI, are responsible for certain configurations, integrations, and design decisions for the Service and that you, and not Portal AI, are responsible for implementing those configurations, integrations, and design decisions in a secure manner that complies with applicable data privacy laws.

You shall not provide Customer Personal Data to Portal AI except through agreed mechanisms. For example, you shall not transfer Customer Personal Data to Portal AI by email. Without limitation to the foregoing, you represent, warrant and covenant that you shall only transfer Customer Personal Data to Portal AI using secure, reasonable and appropriate mechanisms, including mechanisms to facilitate the data transfer to us from those platforms of your choice to the extent such mechanisms are within your choice or control.

You shall not take any action that would: (a) render the provision of Customer Personal Data to Portal AI a “sale” under U.S. Privacy Laws or “sharing” under the CCPA (or equivalent concepts under U.S. Privacy Laws), or (b) render Portal AI not a “service provider” under the CCPA or “processor” under U.S. Privacy Laws or applicable laws.

Required Processing

If we are required by applicable data privacy laws to process any Customer Personal Data for a reason other than in connection with the Terms, we will inform you of this requirement in advance of any such processing, unless legally prohibited.

Security

Portal AI takes the security of your Customer Personal Data seriously. We will: (a) maintain reasonable and appropriate organizational and technical security measures, including but not limited to those measures described in Appendix A to this DPA (including with respect to personnel, facilities, hardware and software, storage and networks, access controls, monitoring and logging, vulnerability and breach detection, incident response, and encryption) to protect against unauthorized or accidental access, loss, alteration, disclosure or destruction of Customer Personal Data and to protect the rights of the subjects of that Customer Personal Data; (b) take appropriate steps to confirm that Portal AI personnel are protecting the security, privacy and confidentiality of Customer Personal Data consistent with the requirements of this DPA; and (c) notify you of any Personal Data beach by Portal AI, our Sub-processors, or any other third parties acting on Portal AI’s behalf without undue delay after Portal AI becomes aware of such Personal Data breach.

International Data Transfers

To the extent that you are a data controller and transfer Customer Personal Data originating in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK to us, we will process Customer Personal Data in accordance with Module Two (Controller to Processor) of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (“EU SCCs”), as amended by the UK addendum to the EU SCCs where applicable. You must complete Module Two of the EU SCCs and return it to us at [email protected], if applicable.

To the extent that you are a data processor and transfer Customer Personal Data originating in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK to us, we will process Customer Personal Data in accordance with Module Three (Processor to Processor) of the EU SCCs, as amended by the UK addendum to the EU SCCs where applicable. You must complete Module Three of the EU SCCs and return it to us at [email protected], if applicable.

Supplemental terms for data transfers subject to Swiss privacy law are provided in Annex IV to the EU SCCs, while the UK addendum is provided in Annex V.

Data Return and Deletion

Portal AI will retain Customer Personal Data for a maximum of thirty (30) days after termination of the Terms after which Customer Personal Data will be deleted, except where Portal AI is required to retain copies under applicable laws, in which case Portal AI will isolate and protect that Customer Personal Data from any further processing except to the extent required by applicable laws. On the termination of the Terms, Portal AI will direct each Sub-processor to delete the Customer Personal Data within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Terms, unless prohibited by law.

Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except as required by law, and only to the extent required thereunder, no provision of the Terms or this DPA shall give rise to any third-party right or cause of action, contractual or otherwise, and that the Terms and this DPA do not create any intended third-party beneficiaries.
