Updated: 15 March, 2023

This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) forms part of the BackupMaster Terms of Service (“Agreement”) between the
entity identified as the customer on the order form (“Customer”) and BackupMaster (“BackupMaster”), and sets out
the obligations of BackupMaster regarding the processing of Customer’s Personal Data collected and held by
BackupMaster in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”)).

The primary aim of this DPA is to set out limits for the processing of Personal Data and to ensure that those

By extension, this DPA aims to ensure that the BackupMaster complies fully with its obligations and the rights of
data subjects under the GDPR.

2. Roles and Responsibilities

2.1 Parties’ roles. If European Data Protection Laws or the LGPD applies to either party’s processing of Customer
Data, the parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the processing of Customer Data, BackupMaster is a
processor acting on behalf of Customer (whether itself a controller or a processor). For the avoidance of doubt,
this DPA shall not apply to instances where BackupMaster is the controller (as defined by European Data
Protection Laws).

2.2 Purpose limitation. BackupMaster shall process Customer Data, as further described in Annex A (Details of
Data Processing) of this DPA, only in accordance with Customer’s documented lawful instructions as set forth in
this DPA, as necessary to comply with applicable law, or as otherwise agreed in writing (“Permitted Purposes”).
The parties agree that the Agreement, including this DPA, along with the Customer’s configuration of Service,
constitute the Customer’s complete and final instructions to BackupMaster in relation to the processing of
Customer Data (including for the purposes of the SCCs) and processing outside the scope of these instructions
(if any) shall require a prior written agreement between the parties.

2.3 Customer compliance. Customer represents and warrants that (i) it has complied, and will continue to comply,
with all applicable laws, including Data Protection Laws, in respect of its processing of Customer Data and any
processing instructions it issues to BackupMaster; and (ii) it has provided, and will continue to provide, all
notice and has obtained, and will continue to obtain, all consents and rights necessary under Data Protection
Laws for BackupMaster to process Customer Data for the purposes described in the Agreement. Customer shall have
sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, and legality of Customer Data and the means by which Customer
acquired Customer Data. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, Customer agrees that it shall be
responsible for complying with all laws (including Data Protection Laws) applicable to any content uploaded,
saved, or managed through the Service.

2.4 Lawfulness of Customer’s instructions. Customer will ensure that BackupMaster’s processing of the Customer
Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions will not cause BackupMaster to violate any applicable law,
regulation, or rule, including, without limitation, Data Protection Laws. BackupMaster shall promptly notify
Customer unless prohibited from doing so under European Data Protection Laws if it becomes aware or believes
that any data processing instruction from Customer violates European Data Protection Laws. Where Customer acts
as a processor on behalf of a third-party controller (or other intermediary to the ultimate controller),
Customer warrants that its processing instructions as set out in the Agreement and this DPA, including its
authorizations to BackupMaster for the appointment of Sub-processors in accordance with this DPA, have been
authorized by the relevant controller. Customer shall serve as the sole point of contact for BackupMaster, and
BackupMaster need not interact directly with (including to provide notifications to or seek authorization from)
any third-party controller other than through the regular provision of the Service to the extent required under
the Agreement. Customer shall be responsible for forwarding any notifications received under this DPA to the
relevant controller, where appropriate.

3. Sub-processing

3.1 Authorized Sub-processors. Customer agrees that BackupMaster may engage Sub-processors to process Customer
Data on Customer’s behalf. The Sub-processors currently engaged by BackupMaster and authorized by Customer are
available here. BackupMaster shall notify Customer if it adds or removes Sub-processors at least 10 days prior
to any such changes by email or in-app notification. If Customer wants to receive emails about updating the
Sub-Processor list, Customer shall notify BackupMaster via email at support@backupmaster.io to add Customer to
the subscribers’ list.

3.2 Sub-processor obligations. BackupMaster shall: (i) enter into a written agreement with each Sub-processor
containing data protection obligations that provide at least the same level of protection for Customer Data as
those in this DPA, to the extent applicable to the nature of the service provided by such Sub-processor; and
(ii) remain responsible for such Sub-processor’s compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or
omissions of such Sub-processor that cause BackupMaster to breach any of its obligations under this DPA.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that, where applicable, BackupMaster fulfills its obligations under Clause 9 of
the 2021 Controller-to-Processor Clauses and 2021 Processor-to-Processor Clauses (as applicable) by complying
with this Section 3 and that BackupMaster may be prevented from disclosing Sub-processor agreements to Customer
due to confidentiality restrictions but BackupMaster shall, upon request, use reasonable efforts to provide
Customer with all relevant information it reasonably can in connection with Sub-processor agreements.

4. Security

4.1 Security Policy. BackupMaster shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security
measures that are designed to protect Customer Data from Security Incidents and designed to preserve the
security and confidentiality of Customer Data in accordance with BackupMaster’s security standards described in
Annex B (“Security Policy”) of this DPA.

4.2 Confidentiality of processing. BackupMaster shall ensure that any person who is authorized by BackupMaster to
process Customer Data (including its staff and subcontractors) shall be under an appropriate obligation of
confidentiality (whether a contractual or statutory duty).

4.3 Updates to Security Policy. Customer is responsible for reviewing the information made available by
BackupMaster relating to data security and making an independent determination as to whether the Service meets
Customer’s requirements and legal obligations under Data Protection Laws. Customer acknowledges that the
security mesures are subject to technical progress and development and that BackupMaster may update or modify
the Security Policy from time to time, provided that such updates and modifications do not result in the
degradation of the overall security of the Service provided to Customer.

4.4 Security Incident Response. If BackupMaster becomes aware of a breach of security leading to the accidental
or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Customer Data or Personal
Data while processed by BackupMaster (each a “Security Incident”), BackupMaster shall (i) notify Customer
without undue delay, and where feasible, within 72 hours of awareness; (ii) investigate the Security Incident
and provide Customer with detailed information about the Security Incident; (iii) take reasonable steps to
mitigate the effects and to minimize any damage resulting from the Security Incident.

Notification(s) of Security Incidents will be delivered to the Customer by any means BackupMaster selects,
including via email. It is the Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure the Customer maintains accurate contact
information with BackupMaster.

Customer is solely responsible for complying with its obligations under incident notification laws applicable to
Customer and fulfilling any third-party notification obligations related to any Security Incident. BackupMaster
shall make reasonable efforts to assist Customer in fulfilling Customer’s obligation under GDPR Article 33 or
other applicable laws or regulations to notify the relevant supervisory authority and data subjects about such
Security Incident.

BackupMaster’s notification of or response to a Security Incident under this Section 4.4 shall not be construed
as an acknowledgment by BackupMaster of any fault or liability with respect to the Security Incident.

4.5 Customer responsibilities. Notwithstanding the above, Customer agrees that except as provided by this DPA,
Customer is responsible for its secure use of the Service, including preventing unauthorized access by
third-parties to Service, protecting the security of Customer Data when in transit to and from the Service, and
taking any appropriate steps to secure its computing environment, programs, files, and data stored on it. The
Customer must notify BackupMaster promptly about any possible misuse of its accounts or authentication
credentials or any Security Incident related to Service.

5. Security Audits

5.1 Audit rights. BackupMaster shall make available to Customer all information reasonably necessary to
demonstrate compliance with this DPA and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections by Customer
in order to assess compliance with this DPA. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it shall exercise its audit
rights under this DPA (including this Section 5.1 and, where applicable, the SCCs) and any audit rights granted
by Data Protection Laws, by instructing BackupMaster to comply with the audit measures described in Section 5.2
below.

5.2 Security due diligence. BackupMaster shall respond to all reasonable requests for information made by
Customer to confirm BackupMaster’s compliance with this DPA, including responses to information security, due
diligence, and audit questionnaires, by making additional information available regarding its information
security program upon Customer’s written request to support@backupmaster.io, provided that Customer shall not
exercise this right more than once per calendar year.

6. International Transfers

6.1 Data center locations. Customer acknowledges that BackupMaster transfer and process Customer Data to and in
the United States. BackupMaster shall at all times ensure that such transfers are made in compliance with the
requirements of Data Protection Laws and this DPA.

6.2 Australian data. To the extent that BackupMaster is a recipient of Customer Data protected by the Australian
Privacy Law, the parties acknowledge and agree that BackupMaster may transfer such Customer Data outside of
Australia as permitted by the terms agreed upon by the parties and subject to BackupMaster complying with this
DPA and the Australian Privacy Law.

6.3 EEA Data Transfers. To the extent that BackupMaster is a recipient of Customer Data protected by GDPR in a
country outside of EEA that is not recognized as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data (as
described in applicable European Data Protection Laws), the parties agree to abide by and process such Customer
Data in compliance with the SCCs, which shall be incorporated into and form an integral part of this DPA.

6.4 UK Data Transfers. With respect to transfers to which the UK Data Protection Laws apply, the SCCs shall apply
and shall be deemed amended as specified by the UK Addendum. The UK Addendum shall be deemed executed by the
parties and incorporated into and form an integral part of this DPA. In addition: Tables 1 to 3 in Part 1 of the
UK Addendum shall be deemed completed with the information set out in Annexes I and II of the relevant SCCs, and
Table 4 in Part 1 of the UK Addendum shall be deemed completed by selecting “neither party”.

6.5 Swiss Data Transfers. With respect to transfers to which the Swiss DPA apply, the SCCs shall apply in
accordance with Section 6.3 with the following modifications: (i) references to “Regulation (EU) 2016/679” shall
be interpreted as references to the Swiss DPA; (ii) references to specific Articles of “Regulation (EU)
2016/679″ shall be replaced with the equivalent article or section of the Swiss DPA; (iii) references to “EU”,
“Union” and “Member State law” shall be replaced with “Switzerland”; (iv) Clause 13(a) and Part C of Annex Il
shall be deleted; (v) references to the “competent supervisory authority” and “competent courts” shall be
replaced with “the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner” and “relevant courts in
Switzerland”; (vi) Clause 17 shall be replaced to state “The Clauses are governed by the laws of Switzerland”;
and (vii) Clause 18 shall be replaced to state “Any dispute arising from these Clauses shall be resolved by the
applicable courts of Switzerland. The parties agree to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of such courts”.

6.6 Compliance with the SCCs. The parties agree that if BackupMaster cannot ensure compliance with the SCCs, it
shall promptly inform Customer of its inability to comply. If Customer intends to suspend the transfer of
European Data and/or terminate the affected parts of the Service, it shall first provide notice to BackupMaster
and provide BackupMaster with a reasonable period of time to cure such non-compliance, during which time
BackupMaster and Customer shall reasonably cooperate to agree what additional safeguards or measures, if any,
may be reasonably required. Customer shall only be entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the
affected parts of the Service for non-compliance with the SCCs if BackupMaster has not or cannot cure the
non-compliance within a reasonable period.

6.7 Alternative transfer mechanism. To the extent BackupMaster adopts an alternative lawful data transfer
mechanism for the transfer of European Data not described in this DPA (“Alternative Transfer Mechanism”), the
Alternative Transfer Mechanism shall apply instead of the transfer mechanisms described in this DPA (but only to
the extent such Alternative Transfer Mechanism complies with applicable European Data Protection Laws and
extends to the countries to which European Data is transferred). In addition, if and to the extent that a court
of competent jurisdiction or supervisory authority orders (for whatever reason) that the measures described in
this DPA cannot be relied on to lawfully transfer European Data (within the meaning of applicable European Data
Protection Laws), BackupMaster may implement any additional measures or safeguards that may be reasonably
required to enable the lawful transfer of European Data.

7. Deletion of Data

7.1 Deletion on termination. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, BackupMaster shall delete all
Customer Data (including copies) in its possession or control within 30 business days, except that this
requirement shall not apply to the extent BackupMaster is required by the applicable law to retain some or all
of the Customer Data, or to Customer Data it has archived on backup systems, which Customer Data BackupMaster
shall securely isolate, protect from any further processing and eventually delete in accordance with
BackupMaster’s standard deletion policy, as it is described in Agreement, except to the extent required by
applicable law. The parties agree that the certification of deletion of Customer Data described in Clause 8.5
and 16(d) of the 2021 Controller-to-Processor Clauses and 2021 Processor-to-Processor Clauses (as applicable)
shall be provided by BackupMaster to Customer only upon Customer’s written request.

8. Data Subject Rights and Cooperation

8.1 Data subject requests. In case of requests from data subjects regarding its Personal Data, BackupMaster
shall, considering the nature of the Customer Data processing, provide reasonable additional assistance to
Customer to the extent possible to enable Customer to comply with its data protection obligations with respect
to data subject rights under Data Protection Laws. In the event that any such request is made to BackupMaster
directly, BackupMaster shall not respond to such communication directly except as appropriate (for example, to
direct the data subject to contact Customer) or legally required without Customer’s prior authorization. If
BackupMaster is required to respond to such a request, BackupMaster shall, where the Customer is identified or
identifiable from the request, promptly notify Customer and provide Customer with a copy of the request unless
BackupMaster is legally prohibited from doing so. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the Agreement
(including this DPA) shall restrict or prevent BackupMaster from responding to any data subject or data
protection authority requests in relation to Personal Data for which BackupMaster is a controller.

8.2 Data protection impact assessment. To the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, BackupMaster
shall (considering the nature of the processing and the information available to BackupMaster) provide all
reasonably requested information regarding the Service to enable Customer to carry out data protection impact
assessments or prior consultations with data protection authorities as required by Data Protection Laws.
BackupMaster shall comply with the foregoing by: (i) providing the information contained in the Agreement,
including this DPA; and (ii) if the foregoing sub-section (i) is insufficient for Customer to comply with such
obligations upon request, providing additional reasonable assistance (at Customer’s expense).

9. Limitation of Liability

9.1 Each party’s liability taken together in the aggregate arising out of or related to this DPA (including the
SCCs) shall be subject to the exclusions and limitations of liability set forth in the Agreement.

9.2 BackupMaster shall be liable for Security Incident (howsoever arising, whether in contract, tort (including
negligence), or overwise) under or in connection with this DPA:

  • only to the extent caused by the processing of Personal Data under this DPA and directly resulting from the
    breach of security:
  • in no circumstances to the extent that any Security Incident (or the circumstances giving rise to it) is
    contributed to or caused by any breach of DPA by Customer.

9.3 Any claims made against BackupMaster under or in connection with this DPA (including, where applicable, the
SCCs) shall be brought solely by the Customer entity that is a party to the Agreement.

9.4 In no event shall any party limit its liability with respect to any individual’s data protection rights under
this DPA or otherwise.

10. Relationship with the Agreement

on behalf of Customer or until termination of the Agreement (and all Customer Data has been returned or deleted
in accordance with Section 7.1 above).

10.2 The parties agree that this DPA shall replace any existing data processing agreement or similar document
that the parties may have previously entered into in connection with the Service.

10.3 In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and Agreement, the provisions of the
following documents (in order of precedence) shall prevail: (i) SCCs; then (ii) this DPA, and then (iii)
Agreement.

10.4 Except for any changes made by this DPA, the Agreement remains unchanged and in full force and effect.

10.5 No one other than a party to this DPA, its successors, and permitted assignees shall have any right to
enforce any of its terms.
