2.2. If Data Protection Law applies to the Processing of Personal Data, the parties agree that Revolear shall Process Personal Data only as a Processor acting on behalf of Customer and, with respect to CCPA and other applicable U.S. state privacy laws, as a Service Provider, in each case, regardless of whether Customer acts as a Controller or as a Processor on behalf of a third-party Controller with respect to Personal Data.

It is the parties’ intent that Revolear is a Service Provider, and Revolear certifies that it will not (a) Sell or Share Personal Data; (b) Process Personal Data outside the direct business relationship between the parties or for any purpose other than to provide the Services in accordance with the Agreement, unless required or authorized by Data Protection Law; or (c) combine the Personal Data that Revolear receives from or on behalf of Customer with personal data that Revolear collects or receives from another person.

5.5. To the extent required by law, Revolear will provide a copy of Revolear’s agreements with Subprocessors to Customer upon request. Revolear may redact commercially sensitive information before providing such agreements to Customer.

6. Restricted Data Transfers

6.1. In the event that the Personal Data Processed under the DPA is subject to Data Protection Law and the transfer of Personal Data to Revolear would be restricted in the absence of the Standard Contractual Clauses, the parties agree that the Standard Contractual Clauses shall be incorporated into this DPA with Customer as the “data exporter” and Revolear as the “data importer.”

10. Audit

10.1. Upon Customer’s prior written request, and no more than once annually, Revolear will make available to Customer the required information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations of Data Protection Law and this DPA. Revolear shall provide additional information as reasonably necessary to allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by a Supervisory Authority, Customer or another auditor mandated by law.

10.2. If a third party is to conduct a Customer-requested audit, Revolear may object to the auditor if the auditor is, in Revolear’s reasonable opinion, not suitably qualified or independent, a competitor of Revolear or otherwise manifestly unsuitable. Such objection by Revolear will require Customer to appoint another auditor or conduct the audit itself.

10.3. The audit must be conducted during regular business hours at the applicable facility, subject to an audit plan agreed to between the parties at least two weeks in advance and may not unreasonably interfere with Revolear’s business activities.

10.4. If Customer’s requested audit scope is addressed in an SSAE 16/ISAE 3402 Type 2, ISO, NIST or similar audit report performed by a qualified third-party auditor within twelve (12) months of Customer’s audit request and Revolear confirms there are no known material changes in the controls audited, Customer agrees to accept those findings in lieu of requesting an audit of the controls covered by the report.

10.5. Any Customer-requested audits are at Customer’s expense. Customer shall reimburse Revolear for any time expended by Revolear or its Subprocessors in connection with any Customer-requested audits or inspections at Revolear’s then-current professional services rates, which shall be made available to Customer upon request.

10.6. Customer may use the audit reports only for the purposes of meeting Customer’s regulatory audit requirements and/or confirming compliance with the requirements of this DPA. The audit reports are confidential information of the parties under the terms of the Agreement.

12. Confidentiality

Revolear will keep all Personal Data and all information relating to the Processing thereof in strict confidence.

Revolear will make all notifications required under this DPA as agreed to in the Agreement.

  1. On expiration or termination of the Agreement, or upon written request from Customer at any time, Revolear will, as soon as reasonably practicable, return or securely delete and destroy all Personal Data in Revolear’s possession or control, except as otherwise required by law or set out in the Agreement. Upon request from Customer, Revolear will certify such secure deletion in writing within thirty (30) days of Customer’s request.

16. Modification of this DPA

  1. This DPA may only be modified by a written amendment signed by both Customer and Revolear.
