DATA PROCESSING ADDENDUM FOR

Customer instructs Conga to Process Personal Data for the following purposes: (i) Processing in accordance with the Agreement and applicable Order Form(s)/Statement(s) of work, including to provide Customer with the Services; (ii) Processing initiated by Users in
their use of the Services; and (iii) Processing to comply with other reasonable instructions provided by Customer (e.g., via e-mail). Conga will notify Customer upon becoming aware of the issue if and when, in Conga’s reasonable judgement, Customer’s instruction violates Data Protection Laws and Regulations.
2.4 Customer’s Authorized Affiliates. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Conga’s obligations set forth in this DPA shall also extend to Authorized Affiliates, subject to the following conditions:

Customer maintains full authority and control over all Personal Data for the duration of the Agreement, and Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer (or Customer’s Data Controller(s), where Customer is a Data Processor) is solely responsible for processing and responding to any request, by any Data Subject, to exercise that Data Subject’s rights provided for by applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, including but not limited to the Data Subject rights provided for by the CCPA and by Chapter III of the GDPR and the UK GDPR. Customer represents, warrants, and agrees that Customer (or Customer’s Data Controller(s), where Customer is a Data Processor) shall maintain, throughout the term of the Agreement, (i) a privacy notice, accessible to Data Subjects, that complies with Data Protection Laws and Regulations and that informs Data Subjects, in clear and intelligible language, that they may exercise their rights with respect to any Processing taking place pursuant to the Agreement by contacting Customer (or Customer’s Data Controller(s), where Customer is a Data Processor), and not by contacting Conga directly; and (ii) a functioning mechanism for receiving and processing Data Subject requests.
3.2 Misdirected Data Subject Requests. If, despite Customer’s compliance with the preceding Section 3.1, Conga receives a request from a Data Subject to exercise that Data Subject’s rights provided for by applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, Conga will promptly redirect the Data Subject to Customer. Unless legally required to do so, Conga shall not respond to any such Data Subject request without Customer’s prior written consent, except to confirm that the request relates to Customer, and Conga shall have no obligation to take any independent action with respect to any Data Subject request beyond redirecting it to Customer.
3.3 Assistance with the Execution of Data Subject Requests. Without contradiction to any of the contents of Sections 3.1 and 3.2, taking into account the nature of the Processing, Conga shall cooperate with and assist Customer in responding to any Data Subject request to exercise that Data Subject’s rights provided for by applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, but only to the extent Conga is legally permitted to do so, and only to the extent that Customer is not capable of responding to or processing the Data Subject request to correct, amend, block or delete the Personal Data without such assistance from Conga.

8. PROCESSING SUBJECT TO AUSTRALIAN DATA PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS
Where the Australian Data Protection Laws and Regulations are applicable to Conga’s Processing of Personal Data on behalf of Customer in connection with the Agreement, Customer and Conga agree: (i) that the Agreement, including this DPA, serves as a binding contract between Customer and Conga requiring Conga to Process “Personal Information,” as that term is defined in Australian Data Protection Laws and Regulations, solely on the documented instructions of Customer, and for no other purpose; (ii) that Conga is contractually obligated to flow through the same obligations to its Sub-processors (see Section 9.4); and (iii) that Customer retains effective control over the handling of “Personal Information” by Conga and its Sub-processors. Therefore, Customer and Conga agree that the Processing, by Conga and its Sub-processors, of any Personal Data, or “Personal Information,” subject to the Australian Data Protection Laws and Regulations in connection with the provision of Services to Customer pursuant to the Agreement, constitutes a “Use,” and not a “Disclosure,” by Customer, according to the definitions contained within those same laws and regulations.
9. ADDITIONAL TERMS
9.1 Subject Matter and Duration of Processing. The subject matter of the Processing of Personal Data by Conga is the provision of the Services to Customer pursuant to the Agreement, and it shall continue for the term(s) of the Agreement. The details of Processing are set in further in Attachment A.
9.2 Nature and Purpose of Processing. The Processing is related to the provision of SaaS solutions to the Customer, as further detailed within the Agreement, and Conga and its Sub-processors will perform such acts of Processing of Personal Data as are necessary to provide those Services according to Customer’s instructions, including but not limited to the transmission, storage, and other Processing of Personal Data submitted to the Services. The details of Processing are set in further in Attachment A.
9.3 Supplemental CCPA Data Protection Terms. In addition to the terms set forth within the body of this DPA, where the CCPA applies to the Processing of Personal Data by Conga and its Sub-processors pursuant to the Agreement, the terms set forth in Attachment C shall apply to such Processing.
9.4 Conga’s Use of Sub-processors. Pursuant to this DPA and Clause 9(a) of the Standard Contractual Clauses (if applicable), Customer acknowledges and expressly agrees that: (i) Conga’s Affiliates may be retained as Sub-processors; and (ii) Conga and Conga’s Affiliates respectively may engage third-party Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Services.
9.4.1 Liability. Conga shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Sub-processors to the same extent Conga would be liable if performing the services of each Sub-processor directly.
9.4.2 List of Current Sub-processors and Notification of New Sub-processors. A list of current Sub-processors for the Services is available at https://conga.com/privacy/subprocessors-and-subcontractors, and the content of this URL may be updated from time to time. Customer agrees to Conga’s use of the listed Sub-processors as of the execution of this DPA. Conga shall provide notification and opportunity to object to any new Sub-processor(s) in accordance with Section 9.4.3 before authorizing any new Sub-processor to Process Personal Data in connection with the provision of the applicable Services. Notification to Customer will be provided to the e-mail address(s) provided in the Order Form for the Service or otherwise to Conga in the purchasing of the Services. Additionally, Customer may sign up for notification at https://conga.com/privacy/subprocessors-and-subcontractors. This notification process is Conga’s only responsibility for notifying Customer of a new Sub-processor.
9.4.3 New Sub-processors. Conga will, at least 15 days prior to appointing any new Sub-processor, inform Customer of Conga’s intent to appoint (including the name and location of such Sub-processor and the activities it will perform) a new Sub-processor by sending an e-mail to Customer and/or by providing Customer with a notification via https://conga.com/privacy/subprocessors-and-subcontractors, if Customer has signed up for such notification. Customer may object to Conga’s use of a new Sub-processor by notifying Conga promptly in writing within 15 days of receipt of Conga’s notice. In the event Customer objects to a new Sub-processor, Conga will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or to recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub processor without unreasonably burdening Customer. If Conga is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed 30 days, Customer may terminate the applicable Order Form(s)/Statement(s) of Work with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by Conga without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor by providing written notice to Conga. Conga will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of such Order Form(s)/Statement(s) of Work following the effective date of termination with respect to such terminated Services, without imposing on Customer any penalty for such termination. Conga shall have no penalty or liability for termination under this Section beyond the refund of prepaid fees and this is Customer sole and exclusive remedy for termination under this Section.
9.4.4 Sub-processor Agreements. Conga or a Conga Affiliate has entered into a written agreement with each Sub processor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this Agreement to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Sub-processor. The Parties agree that the copies of the Sub processor agreements that must be sent by Conga to Customer pursuant to Data Protection Laws and Regulations may have no commercial information, or clauses unrelated to compliance with the Agreement or DPA removed by Conga beforehand; and, that such copies will be provided by Conga only upon request by Customer.
9.5 Audits and Certifications. The Parties agree that the audits described in Clause 8.3, Clause 8.9, and Clause 13 of the Standard Contractual Clauses, where applicable, and otherwise required by applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations shall be carried out in accordance with the following specifications:
9.5.1 Certifications and Audit Reports. Upon Customer’s request, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement, Conga shall make available to Customer (or its third-party independent auditor that is not a competitor of Conga) information demonstrating Conga’s compliance with the obligations set forth in this DPA in the form of the certifications, reports, and audit reports for the Services.

ATTACHMENT B
Technical and Organizational Security Measures
1. Encryption of Personal Data
All data, including personal data, is encrypted in transit using TLS encryption technology. TLS connections are negotiated for at least 256-bit encryption or stronger.
2. Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability and Resilience of Systems and Services
Confidentiality and integrity are ensured by taking the following measures:
Access control:
Buildings are protected with appropriate access control systems based on a security classification of the buildings and an appropriately defined access authorization concept. Buildings are secured by access control measures using a card reader system. Depending on the security category, property, buildings or individual areas are secured by additional measures such as special access profiles, separation locks, video surveillance and security personnel. Access rights for authorized persons are granted individually according to defined criteria. This also applies to external persons.System access control:
Access to data processing systems is only granted to authenticated users based on a role-based authorization concept using the following measures: Data encryption, individualized password assignment (at least 8 characters, regularly automatic expiration), employee ID cards, password-protected screen savers in case of inactivity, intrusion detection systems and intrusion-prevention systems, regularly updated antivirus and spyware filters in the network and on the individual PCs and mobile devices.Data access control:
Conga will maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for the protection, security, confidentiality and integrity of Personal Data Processed by the Services, as described in the security documentation applicable to the specific Services licensed by Customer, and accessible via https://conga.com/security-data-sheets or otherwise made reasonably available by Conga. Many of Conga’s SaaS solutions are hosted on the Salesforce.com platform. Accordingly, certain administration and delegation for user provisioning are the responsibility of the customer's salesforce.com administrator. Conga employees do not have direct access to the client’s application environment or data unless they are granted a user login created by the client’s administrator for the sole purpose of providing technical support services to support the client’s business needs.Internally, the provisioning process requires users to change the authentication method upon initial login. Access revocation is conducted upon termination or role change. Role changes for additional access require VP or above approval. Conga uses the least privilege model to ensure access is granted on an approved need to perform job functions. Conga reviews access quarterly. All Conga employees are required to complete security and privacy awareness training as part of onboarding and on an ongoing annual basis and must agree to Conga's privacy and confidentiality requirements.
Systems and services constant availability and reliability are ensured by taking the following measures:
Availability and resilience of systems and services are ensured by isolating critical IT and network components, by providing adequate backup and redundancy systems, using power redundancy systems, and regularly testing of systems and services. Test and live systems are kept completely separated.
3. Availability and Access to Personal Data in the Event of an Incident
The availability of and access to personal data in the event of a physical or technical incident shall be restored by taking the following measures: Personal data is stored in RAID systems and integrates redundant systems according to security marking. Systems for uninterruptible power supplies (e. g. UPS, batteries, generators) are used to secure the power supply in the used data centers. Additionally, databases or data centers are mirrored in different physical locations.
Conga has a rigorous incident management process for security events that may affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of systems or data. If an incident occurs, the security team logs and prioritizes it according to its severity. Events that directly impact customers are assigned the highest priority. This process specifies courses of action, procedures for notification, escalation, mitigation, and documentation. Key staff is trained in forensics and handling evidence in preparation for an event, including third
party and proprietary tools. To help ensure the swift resolution of security incidents, the Conga security team is available 24/7 to all employees. If an incident involves customer data, Conga will inform the customer and support investigative efforts via our security team.
Conga's Incident Response Plan includes notifying affected customers of privacy incidents without undue delay and following the terms specified in the Agreement and/or DPA. Conga would notify affected customers of any actual or reasonably suspected unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure of Customer Data by Conga or its Sub-processors. We will coordinate communication between the technical support and the points of contact Conga has on record.
The breach notification would contain a high-level overview of who was impacted, when they were impacted, and the current mitigation status.
4. Control Procedures to ensure the Safety of Processing
A control procedure based on a risk-management-based approach is maintained, taking into account the ISO/IEC 27001 requirements for the regular review, assessment and evaluation of the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures to ensure security of processing. This ensures the protection of relevant information, applications (including quality and safety test methods), operating environments (e.g., by network monitoring against harmful effects) and the technical implementation of protection concepts (e.g., by means of vulnerability analyses). By systematically detecting and eliminating weak points, the protective measures are continuously questioned and improved.
5. Monitoring of the Subservice Organization
Conga management performs an annual review of the Salesforce System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1, Type 2 report that is issued on an annual basis, as well as any applicable bridge letters. Management’s review consists of ensuring the complementary user entity controls are met and analyzing any findings for impact on the organization.
6. Application and Development Maintenance
Conga has a well-defined System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology that governs the application development and change management process. Conga enforces that the SDLC policies and procedures are reviewed annually and are updated on an as-needed basis to reflect changes in the operating environment.
7. Personnel Measures
Written work instructions are issued and personnel who have access to personal data are regularly trained to ensure that personal data is only processed in accordance with the law, the Agreement and DPA and associated instructions of the data exporter, including the technical and organizational measures described herein.

Conga cannot make any disclosures to the subcontractor that the CCPA would treat as a sale, and Conga shall ensure appropriate terms no less protective than those in this Attachment are entered into between Conga and the subcontractor.
(b) Conga remains fully liable for each subcontractor’s performance to the same extent if Conga were performing itself.
(c) Upon the Customer's written request, Conga will provide Customer with information and reports demonstrating Conga’s compliance with the obligations in this Attachment.

8. PROCESSING SUBJECT TO AUSTRALIAN DATA PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS
Where the Australian Data Protection Laws and Regulations are applicable to Conga’s Processing of Personal Data on behalf of Customer in connection with the Agreement, Customer and Conga agree: (i) that the Agreement, including this DPA, serves as a binding contract between Customer and Conga requiring Conga to Process “Personal Information,” as that term is defined in Australian Data Protection Laws and Regulations, solely on the documented instructions of Customer, and for no other purpose; (ii) that Conga is contractually obligated to flow through the same obligations to its Sub-processors (see Section 9.4); and (iii) that Customer retains effective control over the handling of “Personal Information” by Conga and its Sub-processors. Therefore, Customer and Conga agree that the Processing, by Conga and its Sub-processors, of any Personal Data, or “Personal Information,” subject to the Australian Data Protection Laws and Regulations in connection with the provision of Services to Customer pursuant to the Agreement, constitutes a “Use,” and not a “Disclosure,” by Customer, according to the definitions contained within those same laws and regulations.
9. ADDITIONAL TERMS
9.1 Subject Matter and Duration of Processing. The subject matter of the Processing of Personal Data by Conga is the provision of the Services to Customer pursuant to the Agreement, and it shall continue for the term(s) of the Agreement. The details of Processing are set in further in Attachment A.
9.2 Nature and Purpose of Processing. The Processing is related to the provision of SaaS solutions to the Customer, as further detailed within the Agreement, and Conga and its Sub-processors will perform such acts of Processing of Personal Data as are necessary to provide those Services according to Customer’s instructions, including but not limited to the transmission, storage, and other Processing of Personal Data submitted to the Services. The details of Processing are set in further in Attachment A.
9.3 Supplemental CCPA Data Protection Terms. In addition to the terms set forth within the body of this DPA, where the CCPA applies to the Processing of Personal Data by Conga and its Sub-processors pursuant to the Agreement, the terms set forth in Attachment C shall apply to such Processing.
9.4 Conga’s Use of Sub-processors. Pursuant to this DPA and Clause 9(a) of the Standard Contractual Clauses (if applicable), Customer acknowledges and expressly agrees that: (i) Conga’s Affiliates may be retained as Sub-processors; and (ii) Conga and Conga’s Affiliates respectively may engage third-party Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Services.
9.4.1 Liability. Conga shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Sub-processors to the same extent Conga would be liable if performing the services of each Sub-processor directly.
9.4.2 List of Current Sub-processors and Notification of New Sub-processors. A list of current Sub-processors for the Services is available at https://conga.com/privacy/subprocessors-and-subcontractors, and the content of this URL may be updated from time to time. Customer agrees to Conga’s use of the listed Sub-processors as of the execution of this DPA. Conga shall provide notification and opportunity to object to any new Sub-processor(s) in accordance with Section 9.4.3 before authorizing any new Sub-processor to Process Personal Data in connection with the provision of the applicable Services. Notification to Customer will be provided to the e-mail address(s) provided in the Order Form for the Service or otherwise to Conga in the purchasing of the Services. Additionally, Customer may sign up for notification at https://conga.com/privacy/subprocessors-and-subcontractors. This notification process is Conga’s only responsibility for notifying Customer of a new Sub-processor.
9.4.3 New Sub-processors. Conga will, at least 15 days prior to appointing any new Sub-processor, inform Customer of Conga’s intent to appoint (including the name and location of such Sub-processor and the activities it will perform) a new Sub-processor by sending an e-mail to Customer and/or by providing Customer with a notification via https://conga.com/privacy/subprocessors-and-subcontractors, if Customer has signed up for such notification. Customer may object to Conga’s use of a new Sub-processor by notifying Conga promptly in writing within 15 days of receipt of Conga’s notice. In the event Customer objects to a new Sub-processor, Conga will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or to recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub processor without unreasonably burdening Customer. If Conga is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed 30 days, Customer may terminate the applicable Order Form(s)/Statement(s) of Work with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by Conga without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor by providing written notice to Conga. Conga will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of such Order Form(s)/Statement(s) of Work following the effective date of termination with respect to such terminated Services, without imposing on Customer any penalty for such termination. Conga shall have no penalty or liability for termination under this Section beyond the refund of prepaid fees and this is Customer sole and exclusive remedy for termination under this Section.
9.4.4 Sub-processor Agreements. Conga or a Conga Affiliate has entered into a written agreement with each Sub processor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this Agreement to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Sub-processor. The Parties agree that the copies of the Sub processor agreements that must be sent by Conga to Customer pursuant to Data Protection Laws and Regulations may have no commercial information, or clauses unrelated to compliance with the Agreement or DPA removed by Conga beforehand; and, that such copies will be provided by Conga only upon request by Customer.
9.5 Audits and Certifications. The Parties agree that the audits described in Clause 8.3, Clause 8.9, and Clause 13 of the Standard Contractual Clauses, where applicable, and otherwise required by applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations shall be carried out in accordance with the following specifications:
9.5.1 Certifications and Audit Reports. Upon Customer’s request, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement, Conga shall make available to Customer (or its third-party independent auditor that is not a competitor of Conga) information demonstrating Conga’s compliance with the obligations set forth in this DPA in the form of the certifications, reports, and audit reports for the Services. Examples of potentially relevant certifications and audit reports include: SOC 2; ISO 27001; APEC Cross Border Privacy Rules System; industry codes of conduct or their successor frameworks; and industry standard security questionnaires, such as SIG or CAIQ.
9.5.2 Additional Audit. In the event Customer does not find the certifications and audit reports suitable, Conga will make its applicable premises and personnel available to Customer (or its third-party independent auditor that is not a competitor of Conga) for audit upon request and at Customer’s cost. Before the commencement of any such audit, Customer and Conga shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit.
9.5.3 Third-Party Involvement. In the event Customer conducts an audit through a third-party independent auditor that is not a competitor of Conga, or such a third-party accompanies Customer or participates in such audit, such third party shall be required to enter into a non-disclosure agreement containing confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those set forth in the Agreement to protect Conga’s and Conga’s customers’ confidential and proprietary information. For the avoidance of doubt, government authorities and regulators shall not be required to enter into a non-disclosure agreement.
9.5.4 Notification of Necessary Changes. Upon Conga’s request, after conducting an audit, Customer shall notify Conga of the manner in which Conga does not comply with any applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, which shall be considered confidential information. If material non-compliance is discovered during Customer’s audit, Conga shall bear the costs, and make any necessary changes to ensure compliance with such obligations, and will, without unreasonable delay, notify Customer when such changes are complete.
9.6 Return and Deletion of Personal Data. Where applicable based on the Services, Conga will return and delete Personal Data in accordance with the Agreement, at the election of the Customer, within a reasonable period of time after the conclusion of the Agreement. Customer is responsible for the correction, amendment, blocking or deleting of Personal Data within its control within the Services. However, at the conclusion of the Agreement, Conga will provide reasonable assistance to Customer in the correcting, amendment, blocking or deleting of Personal Data in the Services, where Customer is unable to execute such functions without assistance from Conga.
9.7 Privacy Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation. Taking into account the nature of the Services and the information available to Conga, and where required to do so by applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, Conga will assist Customer in complying with Customer’s obligations regarding data protection impact assessments and prior consultations.
10. OTHER
10.1 This DPA and liability or remedies arising here from are subject to any and all limitations on liability and disclaimers of types of damages in the Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
10.2 This DPA automatically terminates upon termination or expiration of the Agreement.
10.3 Where any module of the SCCs is applicable, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and/or the Agreement and the SCCs, the terms of the SCCs shall prevail.

ATTACHMENT B
Technical and Organizational Security Measures
1. Encryption of Personal Data
All data, including personal data, is encrypted in transit using TLS encryption technology. TLS connections are negotiated for at least 256-bit encryption or stronger.
2. Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability and Resilience of Systems and Services
Confidentiality and integrity are ensured by taking the following measures:
Access control:
Buildings are protected with appropriate access control systems based on a security classification of the buildings and an appropriately defined access authorization concept. Buildings are secured by access control measures using a card reader system. Depending on the security category, property, buildings or individual areas are secured by additional measures such as special access profiles, separation locks, video surveillanceand security personnel. Access rights for authorized persons are granted individually according to defined criteria. This also applies to external persons.System access control:
Access to data processing systems is only granted to authenticated users based on a role-based authorization concept using the following measures: Data encryption, individualized password assignment (at least 8 characters, regularly automatic expiration), employee ID cards, password-protected screen savers in case of inactivity, intrusion detection systems and intrusion-prevention systems, regularly updated antivirus and spyware filters in the network and on the individual PCs and mobile devices.Data access control:
Conga will maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for the protection, security, confidentiality and integrity of Personal Data Processed by the Services, as described in the security documentation applicable to the specific Services licensed by Customer, and accessible via https://conga.com/security-data-sheets or otherwise made reasonably available by Conga. Many of Conga’s SaaS solutions are hosted on the Salesforce.com platform. Accordingly, certain administration and delegation for user provisioning are the responsibility of the customer's salesforce.com administrator. Conga employees do not have direct access to the client’s application environment or data unless they are granted a user login created by the client’s administrator for the sole purpose of providing technical support services to support the client’s business needs.Internally, the provisioning process requires users to change the authentication method upon initial login. Access revocation is conducted upon termination or role change. Role changes for additional access require VP or above approval. Conga uses the least privilege model to ensure access is granted on an approved need to perform job functions. Conga reviews access quarterly. All Conga employees are required to complete security and privacy awareness training as part of onboarding and on an ongoing annual basis and must agree to Conga's privacy and confidentiality requirements.
Systems and services constant availability and reliability are ensured by taking the following measures:
Availability and resilience of systems and services are ensured by isolating critical IT and network components, by providing adequate backup and redundancy systems, using power redundancy systems, and regularly testing of systems and services. Test and live systems are kept completely separated.
3. Availability and Access to Personal Data in the Event of an Incident
The availability of and access to personal data in the event of a physical or technical incident shall be restored by taking the following measures: Personal data is stored in RAID systems and integrates redundant systems according to security marking. Systems for uninterruptible power supplies (e. g. UPS, batteries, generators) are used to secure the power supply in the used data centers. Additionally, databases or data centers are mirrored in different physical locations.
Conga has a rigorous incident management process for security events that may affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of systems or data. If an incident occurs, the security team logs and prioritizes it according to its severity. Events that directly impact customers are assigned the highest priority. This process specifies courses of action, procedures for notification, escalation, mitigation, and documentation. Key staff is trained in forensics and handling evidence in preparation for an event, including third
party and proprietary tools. To help ensure the swift resolution of security incidents, the Conga security team is available 24/7 to all employees. If an incident involves customer data, Conga will inform the customer and support investigative efforts via our security team.
Conga's Incident Response Plan includes notifying affected customers of privacy incidents without undue delay and following the terms specified in the Agreement and/or DPA. Conga would notify affected customers of any actual or reasonably suspected unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure of Customer Data by Conga or its Sub-processors. We will coordinate communication between the technical support and the points of contact Conga has on record.
The breach notification would contain a high-level overview of who was impacted, when they were impacted, and the current mitigation status.
4. Control Procedures to ensure the Safety of Processing
A control procedure based on a risk-management-based approach is maintained, taking into account the ISO/IEC 27001 requirements for the regular review, assessment and evaluation of the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures to ensure security of processing. This ensures the protection of relevant information, applications (including quality and safety test methods), operating environments (e.g., by network monitoring against harmful effects) and the technical implementation of protection concepts (e.g., by means of vulnerability analyses). By systematically detecting and eliminating weak points, the protective measures are continuously questioned and improved.
5. Monitoring of the Subservice Organization
Conga management performs an annual review of the Salesforce System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1, Type 2 report that is issued on an annual basis, as well as any applicable bridge letters. Management’s review consists of ensuring the complementary user entity controls are met and analyzing any findings for impact on the organization.
6. Application and Development Maintenance
Conga has a well-defined System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology that governs the application development and change management process. Conga enforces that the SDLC policies and procedures are reviewed annually and are updated on an as-needed basis to reflect changes in the operating environment.
7. Personnel Measures
Written work instructions are issued and personnel who have access to personal data are regularly trained to ensure that personal data is only processed in accordance with the law, the Agreement and DPA and associated instructions of the data exporter, including the technical and organizational measures described herein.

(b) Conga remains fully liable for each subcontractor’s performance to the same extent if Conga were performing itself.
(c) Upon the Customer's written request, Conga will provide Customer with information and reports demonstrating Conga’s compliance with the obligations in this Attachment.

7.1.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this DPA, the Standard Contractual Clauses apply only to Personal Data that is transferred from the EEA, Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom to outside the EEA, Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom, either directly or via onward transfer, to any country or recipient: (i) not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data (as described in the GDPR), and (ii) not covered by a suitable framework (e.g. Binding Corporate Rules for Processors, EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield, etc.) recognized by the relevant authorities or courts as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data.
7.1.2 Subject to Section 7.1.1, the Standard Contractual Clauses apply to (i) the legal entity that has executed the Agreement and is the Data Exporter, and (ii) all Affiliates (as defined in the Agreement) of Customer established in the EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom that have licensed the Services. For the purpose of the Standard Contractual Clauses and this Section 7, the aforementioned entities shall be deemed “Data Exporters”.
7.2 Objective and Duration. The objective of Processing of Personal Data by Conga is the provision of the Services pursuant to the Agreement for the term(s) of the Agreement.
7.3 Subprocessors. Pursuant to this DPA and Clause 9(a) of the Standard Contractual Clauses (if applicable), Customer acknowledges and expressly agrees that: (a) Conga’s Affiliates may be retained as Subprocessors; and (b) Conga and Conga’s Affiliates respectively may engage third-party Subprocessors in connection with the provision of the Services.
7.3.1 Liability. Conga shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Subprocessors to the same extent Conga would be liable if performing the services of each Subprocessor directly.
7.3.2 List of Current Subprocessors and Notification of New Subprocessors. A list of current Subprocessors for the Services is available at https://conga.com/privacy/subprocessors, the content of this URL may be updated from time to time and Customer agrees to Conga’s use of the listed Subprocessors as of the execution of this DPA. Conga shall provide notification and opportunity to object to any new Subprocessors in accordance with Section 7.3.3 before authorizing any new Subprocessor to Process Personal Data in connection with the provision of the applicable Services. Notification to Customer will be provided to the e-mail address(s) provided in the Order Form for the Service or otherwise to Conga in the purchasing of the Services. Additionally, Customer may sign up for notification at https://conga.com/privacy/subprocessors. This notification process is Conga’s only responsibility for notifying Customer of a new Subprocessor.
7.3.3 New Subprocessors. Conga will, at least 15 days prior to appointing any new Subprocessor, inform Customer of Conga’s intent to appointment (including the name and location of such Subprocessor and the activities it will perform) a new Subprocessor by sending an e-mail to Customer and/or a notification via https://conga.com/privacy/subprocessors, if Customer has signed up for such notification. Customer may object to Conga’s use of a new Subprocessor by notifying Conga promptly in writing within 15 days of receipt of Conga’s notice. In the event Customer objects to a new Subprocessor, Conga will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Subprocessor without unreasonably burdening Customer. If Conga is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed 30 days, Customer may terminate the applicable Order Form(s)/Statement(s) of work with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by Conga without the use of the objected-to new Subprocessor by providing written notice to Conga. Conga will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of such Order Form(s)/Statement(s) of work following the effective date of termination with respect to such terminated Services, without imposing on Customer any penalty for such termination.

7.3.4 Subprocessor Agreements. Conga or a Conga Affiliate has entered into a written agreement with each Subprocessor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this Agreement to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Subprocessor. The Parties agree that the copies of the Subprocessor agreements that must be sent by Conga to Customer pursuant to Data Protection Laws and Regulations may have no commercial information, or clauses unrelated to compliance with the Agreement or DPA removed by Conga beforehand; and, that such copies will be provided by Conga only upon request by Customer.
7.4 Audits and Certifications. The Parties agree that the audits described in Clause 8.3, Clause 8.9, and Clause 13 of the Standard Contractual Clauses and otherwise required by applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations shall be carried out in accordance with the following specifications:
7.4.1 Certifications and Audit Reports. Upon Customer’s request, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement, Conga shall make available to Customer (or its third-party independent auditor that is not a competitor of Conga) information demonstrating Conga’s compliance with the obligations set forth in this DPA in the form of the certifications, reports, and audit reports for the Services. Examples of potentially relevant certifications and audit reports include: SOC 2,; ISO 27001;APEC Cross Border Privacy Rules System; industry codes of conduct or their successor frameworks; industry standard security questionnaires, such as SIG or CAIQ.
7.4.2 Additional Audit. In the event Customer does not find the certifications and audit reports suitable, Conga will make its applicable premises and personnel available to Customer (or its third-party independent auditror that is not a competitor of Conga) for audit upon request and at Customer’s cost. Before the commencement of any such audit, Customer and Conga shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit.
7.4.3 Third Party Involvement. In the event Customer conducts an audit through a third-party independent auditor that is not a competitor of Conga, or such a third-party accompanies Customer or participates in such audit, such third-party shall be required to enter into a non-disclosure agreement containing confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those set forth in the Agreement to protect Conga’s and Conga’s customers’ confidential and proprietary information. For the avoidance of doubt, government authorities and regulators shall not be required to enter into a non-disclosure agreement.
7.4.4 Notification of Necessary Changes. Upon Conga’s request, after conducting an audit, Customer shall notify Conga of the manner in which Conga does not comply with any applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, which shall be considered confidential information.

SECTION II – OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
Clause 8
Data protection safeguards
The data exporter warrants that it has used reasonable efforts to determine that the data importer is able, through the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures, to satisfy its obligations under these Clauses.
8.1 Instructions
(a) The data importer shall process the personal data only on documented instructions from the data exporter. The data exporter may give such instructions throughout the duration of the contract.
(b) The data importer shall immediately inform the data exporter if it is unable to follow those instructions.
8.2 Purpose limitation
The data importer shall process the personal data only for the specific purpose(s) of the transfer, as set out in Annex I. B, unless on further instructions from the data exporter.
8.3 Transparency
On request, the data exporter shall make a copy of these Clauses, including the Appendix as completed by the Parties, available to the data subject free of charge. To the extent necessary to protect business secrets or other confidential information, including the measures described in Annex II and personal data, the data exporter may redact part of the text of the Appendix to these Clauses prior to sharing a copy, but shall provide a meaningful summary where the data subject would otherwise not be able to understand its content or exercise his/her rights. On request, the Parties shall provide the data subject with the reasons for the redactions, to the extent possible without revealing the redacted information. This Clause is without prejudice to the obligations of the data exporter under Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
8.4 Accuracy
If the data importer becomes aware that the personal data it has received is inaccurate, or has become outdated, it shall inform the data exporter without undue delay. In this case, the data importer shall cooperate with the data exporter to erase or rectify the data.
8.5 Duration of processing and erasure or return of data
Processing by the data importer shall only take place for the duration specified in Annex I.B. After the end of the provision of the processing services, the data importer shall, at the choice of the data exporter, delete all personal data processed on behalf of the data exporter and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, or return to the data exporter all personal data processed on its behalf and delete existing copies. Until the data is deleted or returned, the data importer shall continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses. In case of local laws applicable to the data importer that prohibit return or deletion of the personal data, the data importer warrants that it will continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses and will only process it to the extent and for as long as required under that local law. This is without prejudice to Clause 14, in particular the requirement for the data importer under Clause 14(e) to notify the data exporter throughout the duration of the contract if it has reason to believe that it is or has become subject to laws or practices not in line with the requirements under Clause 14(a).
8.6 Security of processing
(a) The data importer and, during transmission, also the data exporter shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of the data, including protection against a breach of security leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access to that data (hereinafter ‘personal data breach’). In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Parties shall take due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purpose(s) of processing and the risks involved in the processing for the data subjects. The Parties shall in particular consider having recourse to encryption or pseudonymisation, including during transmission, where the purpose of processing can be fulfilled in that manner. In case of pseudonymisation, the additional information for attributing the personal data to a specific data subject shall, where possible, remain under the exclusive control of the data exporter. In complying with its obligations under this paragraph, the data importer shall at least implement the technical and organisational measures specified in Annex II. The data importer shall carry out regular checks to ensure that these measures continue to provide an appropriate level of security.
(b) The data importer shall grant access to the personal data to members of its personnel only to the extent strictly necessary for the implementation, management and monitoring of the contract. It shall ensure that persons authorised to process the personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
(c) In the event of a personal data breach concerning personal data processed by the data importer under these Clauses, the data importer shall take appropriate measures to address the breach, including measures to mitigate its adverse effects. The data importer shall also notify the data exporter without undue delay after having become aware of the breach. Such notification shall contain the details of a contact point where more information can be obtained, a description of the nature of the breach (including, where possible,
categories and approximate number of data subjects and personal data records concerned), its likely consequences and the measures taken or proposed to address the breach including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects. Where, and in so far as, it is not possible to provide all information at the same time, the initial notification shall contain the information then available and further information shall, as it becomes available, subsequently be provided without undue delay.
(d) The data importer shall cooperate with and assist the data exporter to enable the data exporter to comply with its obligations under Regulation (EU) 2016/679, in particular to notify the competent supervisory authority and the affected data subjects, taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to the data importer.
8.7 Sensitive data
Where the transfer involves personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic data, or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or a person’s sex life or sexual orientation, or data relating to criminal convictions and offences (hereinafter ‘sensitive data’), the data importer shall apply the specific restrictions and/or additional safeguards described in Annex I.B.
8.8 Onward transfers
The data importer shall only disclose the personal data to a third party on documented instructions from the data exporter. In addition, the data may only be disclosed to a third party located outside the European Union (2) (in the same country as the data importer or in another third country, hereinafter ‘onward transfer’) if the third party is or agrees to be bound by these Clauses, under the appropriate Module, or if:
(i) the onward transfer is to a country benefitting from an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 that covers the onward transfer;
(ii) the third party otherwise ensures appropriate safeguards pursuant to Articles 46 or 47 Regulation of (EU) 2016/679 with respect to the processing in question;
(iii) the onward transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims in the context of specific administrative, regulatory or judicial proceedings; or
(iv) the onward transfer is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
Any onward transfer is subject to compliance by the data importer with all the other safeguards under these Clauses, in particular purpose limitation.
(2) The Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA Agreement) provides for the extension of the European Union’s internal market to the three EEA States Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The Union data protection legislation, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679, is covered by the EEA Agreement and has been incorporated into Annex XI thereto. Therefore, any disclosure by the data importer to a third party located in the EEA does not qualify as an onward transfer for the purpose of these Clauses.
8.9 Documentation and compliance
(a) The data importer shall promptly and adequately deal with enquiries from the data exporter that relate to the processing under these Clauses.
(b) The Parties shall be able to demonstrate compliance with these Clauses. In particular, the data importer shall keep appropriate documentation on the processing activities carried out on behalf of the data exporter.
(c) The data importer shall make available to the data exporter all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations set out in these Clauses and at the data exporter’s request, allow for and contribute to audits of the processing activities covered by these Clauses, at reasonable intervals or if there are indications of non- compliance. In deciding on a review or audit, the data exporter may take into account relevant certifications held by the data importer.
(d) The data exporter may choose to conduct the audit by itself or mandate an independent auditor. Audits may include inspections at the premises or physical facilities of the data importer and shall, where appropriate, be carried out with reasonable notice.
(e) The Parties shall make the information referred to in paragraphs (b) and (c), including the results of any audits, available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
Clause 9
Use of sub-processors
(a) The data importer has the data exporter’s general authorisation for the engagement of sub-processor(s) from an agreed list. The data importer shall specifically inform the data exporter in writing of any intended changes to that list through the addition or replacement of sub processors at least 15 days in advance, thereby giving the data exporter sufficient time to be able to object to such changes prior to the engagement of the sub-processor(s). The data importer shall provide the data exporter with the information necessary to enable the data exporter to exercise its right to object.
(b) Where the data importer engages a sub-processor to carry out specific processing activities (on behalf of the data exporter), it shall do so by way of a written contract that provides for, in substance, the same data protection obligations as those binding the data importer under these Clauses, including in terms of third-party beneficiary rights for data subjects. (3) The Parties agree that, by complying with this Clause, the data importer fulfils its obligations under Clause 8.8. The data importer shall ensure that the sub-processor complies with the obligations to which the data importer is subject pursuant to these Clauses.
(c) The data importer shall provide, at the data exporter’s request, a copy of such a sub-processor agreement and any subsequent amendments to the data exporter. To the extent necessary to protect business secrets or other confidential information, including personal data, the data importer may redact the text of the agreement prior to sharing a copy.
(d) The data importer shall remain fully responsible to the data exporter for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations under its contract with the data importer. The data importer shall notify the data exporter of any failure by the sub-processor to fulfil its obligations under that contract.
(e) The data importer shall agree a third-party beneficiary clause with the sub-processor whereby – in the event the data importer has factually disappeared, ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent – the data exporter shall have the right to terminate the sub-processor contract and to instruct the sub-processor to erase or return the personal data.
(3) This requirement may be satisfied by the sub-processor acceding to these Clauses under the appropriate Module, in accordance with Clause 7.

It shall provide the supervisory authority with written confirmation that the necessary actions have been taken.
SECTION III – LOCAL LAWS AND OBLIGATIONS IN CASE OF ACCESS BY PUBLIC AUTHORITIES
Clause 14
Local laws and practices affecting compliance with the Clauses
(a) The Parties warrant that they have no reason to believe that the laws and practices in the third country of destination applicable to the processing of the personal data by the data importer, including any requirements to disclose personal data or measures authorising access by public authorities, prevent the data importer from fulfilling its obligations under these Clauses. This is based on the understanding that laws and practices that respect the essence of the fundamental rights and freedoms and do not exceed what is necessary and proportionate in a democratic society to safeguard one of the objectives listed in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, are not in contradiction with these Clauses.
(b) The Parties declare that in providing the warranty in paragraph (a), they have taken due account in particular of the following elements:
(i) the specific circumstances of the transfer, including the length of the processing chain, the number of actors involved and the transmission channels used; intended onward transfers; the type of recipient; the purpose of processing; the categories and format of the transferred personal data; the economic sector in which the transfer occurs; the storage location of the data transferred;
(ii) the laws and practices of the third country of destination– including those requiring the disclosure of data to public authorities or authorising access by such authorities – relevant in light of the specific circumstances of the transfer, and the applicable limitations and safeguards (4);
(iii) any relevant contractual, technical or organisational safeguards put in place to supplement the safeguards under these Clauses, including measures applied during transmission and to the processing of the personal data in the country of destination.
(c) The data importer warrants that, in carrying out the assessment under paragraph (b), it has made its best efforts to provide the data exporter with relevant information and agrees that it will continue to cooperate with the data exporter in ensuring compliance with these Clauses.
(d) The Parties agree to document the assessment under paragraph (b) and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
(e) The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter promptly if, after having agreed to these Clauses and for the duration of the contract, it has reason to believe that it is or has become subject to laws or practices not in line with the requirements under paragraph (a), including following a change in the laws of the third country or a measure (such as a disclosure request) indicating an application of such laws in practice that is not in line with the requirements in paragraph (a).
(f) Following a notification pursuant to paragraph (e), or if the data exporter otherwise has reason to believe that the data importer can no longer fulfil its obligations under these Clauses, the data exporter shall promptly identify appropriate measures (e.g. technical or organisational measures to ensure security and confidentiality) to be adopted by the data exporter and/or data importer to address the situation. The data exporter shall suspend the data transfer if it considers that no appropriate safeguards for such transfer can be ensured, or if instructed by the competent supervisory authority to do so. In this case, the data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses. If the contract involves more than two Parties, the data exporter may exercise this right to termination only with respect to the relevant Party, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise. Where the contract is terminated pursuant to this Clause, Clause 16(d) and (e) shall apply.
(4) As regards the impact of such laws and practices on compliance with these Clauses, different elements may be considered as part of an overall assessment. Such elements may include relevant and documented practical experience with prior instances of requests for disclosure from public authorities, or the absence of such requests, covering a sufficiently representative time-frame. This refers in particular to internal records or other documentation, drawn up on a continuous basis in accordance with due diligence and certified at senior management level, provided that this information can be lawfully shared with third parties. Where this practical experience is relied upon to conclude that the data importer will not be prevented from complying with these Clauses, it needs to be supported by other relevant, objective elements, and it is for the Parties to consider carefully whether these elements together carry sufficient weight, in terms of their reliability and representativeness, to support this conclusion. In particular, the Parties have to take into account whether their practical experience is corroborated and not contradicted by publicly available or otherwise accessible, reliable information on the existence or absence of requests within the same sector and/or the application of the law in practice, such as case law and reports by independent oversight bodies.
Clause 15
Obligations of the data importer in case of access by public authorities
15.1 Notification
(a) The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter and, where possible, the data subject promptly (if necessary with the help of the data exporter) if it:
(i) receives a legally binding request from a public authority, including judicial authorities, under the laws of the country of destination for the disclosure of personal data transferred pursuant to these Clauses; such notification shall include information about the personal data requested, the requesting authority, the legal basis for the request and the response provided; or
(ii) becomes aware of any direct access by public authorities to personal data transferred pursuant to these Clauses in accordance with the laws of the country of destination; such notification shall include all information available to the importer.
(b) If the data importer is prohibited from notifying the data exporter and/or the data subject under the laws of the country of destination, the data importer agrees to use its best efforts to obtain a waiver of the prohibition, with a view to communicating as much information as possible, as soon as possible. The data importer agrees to document its best efforts in order to be able to demonstrate them on request of the data exporter.
(c) Where permissible under the laws of the country of destination, the data importer agrees to provide the data exporter, at regular intervals for the duration of the contract, with as much relevant information as possible on the requests received (in particular, number of requests, type of data requested, requesting authority/ies, whether requests have been challenged and the outcome of such challenges, etc.).
(d) The data importer agrees to preserve the information pursuant to paragraphs (a) to (c) for the duration of the contract and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
(e) Paragraphs (a) to (c) are without prejudice to the obligation of the data importer pursuant to Clause 14(e) and Clause 16 to inform the data exporter promptly where it is unable to comply with these Clauses.
15.2 Review of legality and data minimisation
(a) The data importer agrees to review the legality of the request for disclosure, in particular whether it remains within the powers granted to the requesting public authority, and to challenge the request if, after careful assessment, it concludes that there are reasonable grounds to consider that the request is unlawful under the laws of the country of destination, applicable obligations under international law and principles of international comity. The data importer shall, under the same conditions, pursue possibilities of appeal. When challenging a request, the data importer shall seek interim measures with a view to suspending the effects of the request until the competent judicial authority has decided on its merits. It shall not disclose the personal data requested until required to do so under the applicable procedural rules. These requirements are without prejudice to the obligations of the data importer under Clause 14(e).
(b) The data importer agrees to document its legal assessment and any challenge to the request for disclosure and, to the extent permissible under the laws of the country of destination, make the documentation available to the data exporter. It shall also make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
(c) The data importer agrees to provide the minimum amount of information permissible when responding to a request for disclosure, based on a reasonable interpretation of the request.
SECTION IV – FINAL PROVISIONS
Clause 16
Non-compliance with the Clauses and termination
(a) The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter if it is unable to comply with these Clauses, for whatever reason.
(b) In the event that the data importer is in breach of these Clauses or unable to comply with these Clauses, the data exporter shall suspend the transfer of personal data to the data importer until compliance is again ensured or the contract is terminated. This is without prejudice to Clause 14(f).
(c) The data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses, where:
(i) the data exporter has suspended the transfer of personal data to the data importer pursuant to paragraph (b) and compliance with these Clauses is not restored within a reasonable time and in any event within one month of suspension;
(ii) the data importer is in substantial or persistent breach of these Clauses; or
(iii) the data importer fails to comply with a binding decision of a competent court or supervisory authority regarding its obligations under these Clauses.
In these cases, it shall inform the competent supervisory authority of such non- compliance. Where the contract involves more than two Parties, the data exporter may exercise this right to termination only with respect to the relevant Party, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise.
(d) Personal data that has been transferred prior to the termination of the contract pursuant to paragraph (c) shall at the choice of the data exporter immediately be returned to the data exporter or deleted in its entirety. The same shall apply to any copies of the data. The data importer shall certify the deletion of the data to the data exporter. Until the data is deleted or returned, the data importer shall continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses. In case of local laws applicable to the data importer that prohibit the return or deletion of the transferred personal data, the data importer warrants that it will continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses and will only process the data to the extent and for as long as required under that local law.
(e) Either Party may revoke its agreement to be bound by these Clauses where (i) the European Commission adopts a decision pursuant to Article 45(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 that covers the transfer of personal data to which these Clauses apply; or (ii) Regulation (EU) 2016/679 becomes part of the legal framework of the country to which the personal data is transferred. This is without prejudice to other obligations applying to the processing in question under Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
Clause 17
Governing law
These Clauses shall be governed by the law of one of the EU Member States, provided such law allows for third-party beneficiary rights. The Parties agree that this shall be the law of the EU Member State in which the data exporter has its seat. If the Agreement is not governed by an EU Member State law, these Clauses shall be governed by either (i) the laws of Ireland; or (ii) where the Agreement is governed by the laws of the United Kingdom, the laws of the United Kingdom.
Clause 18
Choice of forum and jurisdiction
(a) Any dispute arising from these Clauses shall be resolved by the courts of an EU Member State.
(b) The Parties agree that those shall be the courts of Ireland.
(c) A data subject may also bring legal proceedings against the data exporter and/or data importer before the courts of the Member State in which he/she has his/her habitual residence.
(d) The Parties agree to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of such courts.

ANNEX II
TO THE STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES
TECHNICAL AND ORGANISATIONAL MEASURES INCLUDING TECHNICAL AND ORGANISATIONAL
MEASURES TO ENSURE THE SECURITY OF THE DATA
1. Encryption of Personal Data
All data, including personal data, is encrypted in transit using TLS encryption technology. TLS connections are negotiated for at least 256-bit encryption or stronger.
2. Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability and Resilience of Systems and Services
a) Confidentiality and integrity are ensured by taking the following measures:
Access control:
Buildings are protected with appropriate access control systems based on a security classification of the buildings and an appropriately defined access authorization concept. Buildings are secured by access control measures using a card reader system. Depending on the security category, property, buildings or individual areas are secured by additional measures such as special access profiles, separation locks, video surveillance and security personnel. Access rights for authorized persons are granted individually according to defined criteria. This also applies to external persons.
System access control:
Access to data processing systems is only granted to authenticated users based on a role-based authorization concept using the following measures: Data encryption, individualized password assignment (at least 8 characters, regularly automatic expiration), employee ID cards, password-protected screen savers in case of inactivity, intrusion detection systems and intrusion-prevention systems, regularly updated antivirus and spyware filters in the network and on the individual PCs and mobile devices.
Data access control:
Conga will maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for the protection, security, confidentiality and integrity of Personal Data Processed by the Services, as described in the security documentation applicable to the specific Services licensed by Customer, and accessible via https://conga.com/security-data-sheets or otherwise made reasonably available by Conga. Many of Conga’s SaaS solutions are hosted on the Salesforce.com platform. Accordingly, certain administration and delegation for user provisioning are the responsibility of the customer's salesforce.com administrator. Conga employees do not have direct access to the client’s application environment or data unless they are granted a user login created by the client’s administrator for the sole purpose of providing technical support services to support the client’s business needs.
Internally, the provisioning process requires users to change the authentication method upon initial login. Access revocation is conducted upon termination or role change. Role changes for additional access require VP or above approval. Conga uses the least privilege model to ensure access is granted on an approved need to perform job functions. Conga reviews access quarterly. All Conga employees are required to complete security and privacy awareness training as part of onboarding and on an ongoing annual basis and must agree to Conga's privacy and confidentiality requirements.
b) Systems and services constant availability and reliability are ensured by taking the following measures:
Availability and resilience of systems and services are ensured by isolating critical IT and network components, by providing adequate backup and redundancy systems, using power redundancy systems, and regularly testing of systems and services. Test and live systems are kept completely separated.
3. Availability and Access to Personal Data in the Event of an Incident
The availability of and access to personal data in the event of a physical or technical incident shall be restored by taking the following measures: Personal data is stored in RAID systems and integrates redundant systems according to security marking. Systems for uninterruptible power supplies (e. g. UPS, batteries, generators) are used to secure the power supply in the used data centers. Additionally, databases or data centers are mirrored in different physical locations.
Conga has a rigorous incident management process for security events that may affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of systems or data. If an incident occurs, the security team logs and prioritizes it according to its severity. Events that directly impact customers are assigned the highest priority. This process specifies courses of action, procedures for notification, escalation, mitigation, and documentation. Key staff is trained in forensics and handling evidence in preparation for an event, including third-party and proprietary tools. To help ensure the swift resolution of security incidents, the Conga security team is available 24/7 to all employees. If an incident involves customer data, Conga will inform the customer and support investigative efforts via our security team.
Conga's Incident Response Plan includes notifying affected customers of privacy incidents without undue delay and following the terms specified in the Agreement and/or DPA. Conga would notify affected customers of any actual or reasonably suspected unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure of Customer Data by Conga or its Subprocessors. We will coordinate communication between the technical support and the points of contact Conga has on record.
The breach notification would contain a high-level overview of who was impacted, when they were impacted, and the current mitigation status.
4. Control Procedures to ensure the Safety of Processing
A control procedure based on a risk-management-based approach is maintained, taking into account the ISO/IEC 27001 requirements for the regular review, assessment and evaluation of the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures to ensure security of processing. This ensures the protection of relevant information, applications (including quality and safety test methods), operating environments (e.g., by network monitoring against harmful effects) and the technical implementation of protection concepts (e.g., by means of vulnerability analyses). By systematically detecting and eliminating weak points, the protective measures are continuously questioned and improved.
5. Monitoring of the Subservice Organization
Conga management performs an annual review of the Salesforce System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1, Type 2 report that is issued on an annual basis, as well as any applicable bridge letters. Management’s review consists of ensuring the complementary user entity controls are met and analyzing any findings for impact on the organization.
6. Application and Development Maintenance
Conga has a well-defined System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology that governs the application development and change management process. Conga enforces that the SDLC policies and procedures are reviewed annually and are updated on an as-needed basis to reflect changes in the operating environment.
5. Personnel Measures
Written work instructions are issued and personnel who have access to personal data are regularly trained to ensure that personal data is only processed in accordance with the law, the Agreement and DPA and associated instructions of the data exporter, including the technical and organizational measures described herein.
ATTACHMENT 2 TO THE DPA
Words and phrases defined in the CCPA shall have the same meaning in this Appendix and all other terms shall have the meaning in the DPA or Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Appendix and the Agreement, this Appendix will control but all other terms in the Agreement will otherwise remain in full force.
The following definitions and rules of interpretation apply in this Appendix:
CCPA means the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, (Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1798.100 to 1798.199), and any related regulations provided by the California Attorney General all of which as may be amended from time to time.
Contracted Business Purposes means the Services and as otherwise described in the Agreement for which the Conga receives or accesses personal information from Customer.
Conga's CCPA Obligations:
Conga will only collect, use, retain, or disclose personal information for the Contracted Business Purposes for which Customer provides or permits personal information access.
Conga will not collect, use, retain, disclose, sell, or otherwise make personal information available in a way that does not comply with the CCPA. If a law requires Conga to disclose personal information for a purpose unrelated to the Contracted Business Purpose, Conga must first inform the Customer of the legal requirement and give the Customer an opportunity to object or challenge the requirement, unless applicable law prohibits such notice.
To the extent commercially reasonable, Conga will limit personal information collection, use, retention, and disclosure to activities reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the Contracted Business Purposes or another compatible operational purpose.
Conga must promptly comply with any Customer request or instruction requiring the Conga to provide, amend, transfer, or delete the personal information, or to stop, mitigate, or remedy any unauthorized processing. If Customer is able to amend, transfer, or delete the personal information itself and chooses Conga’s assistance, Customer agrees to pay reasonable fees for such assistance at a rate mutually agreed in advance between the Parties.
If the Contracted Business Purposes require the collection of personal information from individuals on the Customer's behalf, Conga will always provide a CCPA-compliant notice addressing use and collection methods.
If the CCPA permits, Conga may aggregate, deidentify, or anonymize personal information, so it no longer meets the personal information definition, and may use such aggregated, deidentified, or anonymized data for its own research and development purposes. Conga will not attempt to or actually re-identify any previously aggregated, deidentified, or anonymized data and will contractually prohibit downstream data recipients from attempting to or actually re-identifying such data.
Assistance with CCPA Obligations:
Conga will reasonably cooperate and assist Customer in responding to CCPA-related inquiries, including responding to verifiable consumer requests, taking into account the nature of Conga's processing and the information available Conga.
A party must notify the other party promptly if it receives any complaint, notice, or communication that directly or indirectly relates to either party's compliance with the CCPA. Specifically, Conga must notify the Customer within five (5) working days if it receives a verifiable consumer request under the CCPA.
Subcontracting:
Conga may use subcontractors to provide the Contracted Business Services. Conga cannot make any disclosures to the subcontractor that the CCPA would treat as a sale and Conga shall ensure appropriate terms no less protective than those in this Appendix are entered into between Conga and the subcontractor.
Conga remains fully liable for each subcontractor's performance to the same extent if Conga were performing itself.
Upon the Customer's written request, Conga will provide Customer with information and reports demonstrating Conga’s compliance with the obligations in this Appendix.
Certifications:
Both Parties will comply with all applicable requirements of the CCPA when collecting, using, retaining, or disclosing personal information.
Conga certifies that it understands this Appendix’s and the CCPA's restrictions and prohibitions on selling personal information and retaining, using, or disclosing personal information outside of the Parties' business relationship, and Conga will comply with them.

SECURITY
Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, Conga shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, as further detailed in Appendix 2. Conga regularly monitors compliance with these safeguards. Conga may update these technical and organization measures from time to time, but will not materially decrease the overall security of the Services.
SECURITY BREACH MANAGEMENT AND NOTIFICATION
Conga maintains security incident management policies and procedures and shall, to the extent permitted by law, without undue delay and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours of becoming aware, notify Customer of any actual or reasonably suspected unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure of Personal Data (a “Security Breach”).
Such notice will include all available details required under Data Protection Laws and Regulations for Customer to comply with its own notification obligations to regulatory authorities or individuals affected by the Security Breach. Conga shall make all reasonable efforts to identify, and take all reasonable steps to remediate, the cause of such Security Breach.
ADDITIONAL TERMS
7.1 Application of Standard Contractual Clauses. The Standard Contractual Clauses in Attachment 1, as well as the additional terms in this Section 7, will apply to the Processing of Personal Data by Conga in the course of providing Services, as follows:
7.1.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this DPA, the Standard Contractual Clauses apply only to Personal Data that is transferred from the EEA, Switzerland and/or the United Kingdom to outside the EEA, Switzerland and/or the United Kingdom, either directly or via onward transfer, to any country or recipient: (i) not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data (as described in the EU Data Protection Directive or its successors), and (ii) not covered by a suitable framework (e.g. Binding Corporate Rules for Processors, etc.) recognized by the relevant authorities or courts as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data.
7.1.2 Subject to Section 7.1.1, the Standard Contractual Clauses apply to (i) the legal entity that has executed the Standard Contractual Clauses as a Data Exporter, and (ii) all affiliates of Customer established within the EEA, Switzerland and/or the United Kingdom that have purchased Services. For the purpose of the Standard Contractual Clauses and this Section 7, the aforementioned entities shall be deemed “Data Exporters”.
7.2 Privacy Shield. Despite the July 2020 invalidation of the Privacy Shield Program administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce by the Court of Justice of the European Union, to which Conga has self-certified, Conga will continue to maintain such certification, except as otherwise indicated at https://conga.com/privacy and/or https://www.privacyshield.gov/list.
7.3 Objective and Duration. The objective of Processing of Personal Data by Conga is the provision of the Services pursuant to the Agreement for the term of the Agreement.
7.4 Subprocessors. Pursuant to this DPA and Clause 5(h) of the Standard Contractual Clauses (if applicable), Customer acknowledges and expressly agrees that: (a) Conga’s affiliates may be retained as Subprocessors; and (b) Conga and Conga’s affiliates may engage Subprocessors in connection with the provision of the Services.
7.4.1 Liability. Conga shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Subprocessors to the same extent Conga would be liable if performing the Services of each Subprocessor directly for Customer.
7.4.2 List of Current Subprocessors and Notification of New Subprocessors. A list of current Subprocessors for the Services is available at https://conga.com/privacy/subprocessors and may be updated from time to time. Customer agreesto Conga’s use of the listed Subprocessors as of the execution of this DPA, as well as Conga’s addition of new Subprocessors, subject to Section 7.4.3 below.
7.4.3 New Subprocessors. Prior to appointing any new Subprocessor, Conga will inform Customer of such appointment by sending an email to Customer and/or a notification via https://conga.com/privacy/subprocessors, if Customer has signed up for such notification. Customer may object to Conga’s use of a new Subprocessor by notifying Conga promptly, in writing, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of Conga’s notice. In the event Customer objects to a new Subprocessor, Conga will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services, or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by such Subprocessor. If Conga is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, Customer may terminate the the portion of the Services that cannot beperformed without the use of the objectionable Subprocessor. Conga will refund Customer any pre-paid fees with respect to the terminated Services as of the effective date of termination. Conga shall have no penalty or liability with regard to Customer’s termination under this Section, beyond such refund of prepaid fees, which shall be Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for termination under this Section.
7.4.4 Subprocessor Agreements. Conga, or a Conga affiliate, as applicable, has entered into a written agreement with each Subprocessor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this DPA, to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Subprocessor.
7.5 Audits and Certifications. The parties agree that the audits described in Clause 5(f), Clause 11 and Clause 12(2) of the Standard Contractual Clauses and otherwise required by applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations shall be carried out in accordance with the following specifications:

7.5.2 Additional Audit. In the event Customer does not find the certifications and audit reports suitable, Conga will make its applicable premises and personnel available to Customer (or its third party independent auditor that is not a Conga competitor) for audit upon request and at Customer’s cost. Before the commencement of any such audit, Customer and Conga shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit in addition to the reimbursement rate for which Customer shall be responsible. All reimbursement rates shall be reasonable, taking into account the resources expended by Conga.
7.5.3 Third Party Involvement. In the event Customer conducts an audit through a third party independent auditor that is not a Conga competitor, or such a third party accompanies Customer or participates in such audit, such third party shall be required to enter into a non-disclosure agreement containing confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those set forth in the Agreement to protect Conga’s and Conga’s customers’ confidential and proprietary information. For the avoidance of doubt, government authorities and regulators shall not be required to enter into a non-disclosure agreement.
7.5.4 Notification of Necessary Changes. Upon Conga’s request, after conducting an audit, Customer shall notify Conga of the manner in which Conga does not comply with any of the applicable security, confidentiality or privacy obligations or Data Protection Laws and Regulations, which shall be considered confidential information.

Conga will provide reasonable assistance to Customer in the correcting, amendment, blocking or deleting of Personal Data in the Services.
7.7 Privacy Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation. Taking into account the nature of the Services and the information available to Conga, Conga will assist Customer in complying with Customer’s obligations with respect to data protection impact assessments and prior consultation pursuant to Articles 35 and 36 of the GDPR.

Clause 1
Definitions
For the purposes of the Clauses:
(a) 'personal data', 'special categories of data', 'process/processing', 'controller', 'processor', 'data subject' and 'supervisory authority' shall have the same meaning as in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data;
(b) 'the data exporter' means the controller who transfers the personal data;
(c) 'the data importer' means the processor who agrees to receive from the data exporter personal data intended for processing on his behalf after the transfer in accordance with his instructions and the terms of the Clauses and who is not subject to a third country's system ensuring adequate protection within the meaning of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC;
(d) 'the subprocessor' means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other subprocessor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other subprocessor of the data importer personal data exclusively intended for processing activities to be carried out on behalf of the data exporter after the transfer in accordance with his instructions, the terms of the Clauses and the terms of the written subcontract;
(e) 'the applicable data protection law' means the legislation protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and, in particular, their right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data applicable to a data controller in the Member State in which the data exporter is established;
(f) 'technical and organisational security measures' means those measures aimed at protecting personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of data over a network, and against all other unlawful forms of processing.
Clause 2
Details of the transfer
The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of the Clauses.
Clause 3
Third-party beneficiary clause
The data subject can enforce against the data exporter this Clause, Clause 4(b) to (i), Clause 5(a) to (e), and (g) to (j), Clause 6(1) and (2), Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12 as third-party beneficiary.
The data subject can enforce against the data importer this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where the data exporter has factually disappeared or has ceased to exist in law unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law, as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity.
The data subject can enforce against the subprocessor this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
The parties do not object to a data subject being represented by an association or other body if the data subject so expressly wishes and if permitted by national law.
Clause 4
Obligations of the data exporter
The data exporter agrees and warrants:
(a) that the processing, including the transfer itself, of the personal data has been and will continue to be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the applicable data protection law (and, where applicable, has been notified to the relevant authorities of the Member State where the data exporter is established) and does not violate the relevant provisions of that State;

(e) that it will ensure compliance with the security measures;
(f) that, if the transfer involves special categories of data, the data subject has been informed or will be informed before, or as soon as possible after, the transfer that its data could be transmitted to a third country not providing adequate protection within the meaning of Directive 95/46/EC;
(g) to forward any notification received from the data importer or any subprocessor pursuant to Clause 5(b) and Clause 8(3) to the data protection supervisory authority if the data exporter decides to continue the transfer or to lift the suspension;
(h) to make available to the data subjects upon request a copy of the Clauses, with the exception of Appendix 2, and a summary description of the security measures, as well as a copy of any contract for subprocessing services which has to be made in accordance with the Clauses, unless the Clauses or the contract contain commercial information, in which case it may remove such commercial information;

Clause 5
Obligations of the data importer
The data importer agrees and warrants:
(a) to process the personal data only on behalf of the data exporter and in compliance with its instructions and the Clauses; if it cannot provide such compliance for whatever reasons, it agrees to inform promptly the data exporter of its inability to comply, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;
(b) that it has no reason to believe that the legislation applicable to it prevents it from fulfilling the instructions received from the data exporter and its obligations under the contract and that in the event of a change in this legislation which is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the warranties and obligations provided by the Clauses, it will promptly notify the change to the data exporter as soon as it is aware, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;
(c) that it has implemented the technical and organisational security measures specified in Appendix 2 before processing the personal data transferred;
(d) that it will promptly notify the data exporter about:
(i) any legally binding request for disclosure of the personal data by a law enforcement authority unless otherwise prohibited, such as a prohibition under criminal law to preserve the confidentiality of a law enforcement investigation,
(ii) any accidental or unauthorised access, and
(iii) any request received directly from the data subjects without responding to that request, unless it has been otherwise authorised to do so;
(e) to deal promptly and properly with all inquiries from the data exporter relating to its processing of the personal data subject to the transfer and to abide by the advice of the supervisory authority with regard to the processing of the data transferred;

(g) to make available to the data subject upon request a copy of the Clauses, or any existing contract for subprocessing, unless the Clauses or contract contain commercial information, in which case it may remove such commercial information, with the exception of Appendix 2 which shall be replaced by a summary description of the security measures in those cases where the data subject is unable to obtain a copy from the data exporter;
(h) that, in the event of subprocessing, it has previously informed the data exporter and obtained its prior written consent; (i) that the processing services by the subprocessor will be carried out in accordance with Clause 11; (j) to send promptly a copy of any subprocessor agreement it concludes under the Clauses to the data exporter.
Clause 6
Liability
The parties agree that any data subject, who has suffered damage as a result of any breach of the obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 by any party or subprocessor is entitled to receive compensation from the data exporter for the damage suffered.
If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract of by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.
The data importer may not rely on a breach by a subprocessor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.
If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the subprocessor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data subprocessor with regard to its own processing operations under the Clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
Clause 7
Mediation and jurisdiction
The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:
to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;
to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
The parties agree that the choice made by the data subject will not prejudice its substantive or procedural rights to seek remedies in accordance with other provisions of national or international law.
Clause 8
Cooperation with supervisory authorities
The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.
The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any subprocessor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.
The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any subprocessor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any subprocessor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).
Clause 9
Governing Law
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
Clause 10
Variation of the contract
The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.
Clause 11
Subprocessing
The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the subprocessor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor's obligations under such agreement.
The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5 (j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter's data protection supervisory authority.
Clause 12
Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services
The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
The data importer and the subprocessor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.

ATTACHMENT 2
California Consumer Privacy Act
Words and phrases defined in the CCPA shall have the same meaning in this Attachment and all other terms shall have the meaning in the DPA or Agreement, as applicable. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Attachment and the DPA or Agreement, this Attachment will control but all other terms in the Agreement will otherwise remain in full force.
Definitions:
“CCPA” means the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, (Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1798.100 to 1798.199), and any related regulations provided by the California Attorney General, as may be amended from time to time.
“Contracted Business Purposes” means the Services and as otherwise described in the Agreement for which Conga receives or accesses personal information from Customer.
Conga's CCPA Obligations:
Conga will only collect, use, retain, or disclose personal information for the Contracted Business Purposes for which Customer provides or permits personal information access.
Conga will not collect, use, retain, disclose, sell, or otherwise make personal information available in a way that does not comply with the CCPA. If a law requires Conga to disclose personal information for a purpose unrelated to the Contracted Business Purpose, Conga must first inform the Customer of the legal requirement and give the Customer an opportunity to object or challenge the requirement, unless applicable law prohibits such notice.
To the extent commercially reasonable, Conga will limit personal information collection, use, retention, and disclosure to activities reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the Contracted Business Purposes or another compatible operational purpose.
Conga must promptly comply with any Customer request or instruction requiring Conga to provide, amend, transfer, or delete the personal information, or to stop, mitigate, or remedy any unauthorized processing. If Customer is able to amend, transfer, or delete the personal information itself and chooses Conga’s assistance, Customer agrees to pay reasonable fees for such assistance at a rate mutually agreed in advance between the Parties.
If the Contracted Business Purposes require the collection of personal information from individuals on Customer's behalf, Conga will always provide a CCPA-compliant notice addressing use and collection methods.
If the CCPA permits, Conga may aggregate, deidentify, or anonymize personal information, so it no longer meets the personal information definition, and may use such aggregated, deidentified, or anonymized data for its own research and development purposes. Conga will not attempt to or actually re-identify any previously aggregated, deidentified, or anonymized data and will contractually prohibit downstream data recipients from attempting to or actually re-identifying such data.
Assistance with CCPA Obligations:
Conga will reasonably cooperate and assist Customer in responding to CCPA-related inquiries, including responding to verifiable consumer requests, taking into account the nature of Conga's processing and the information available Conga.
A party must notify the other party promptly if it receives any complaint, notice, or communication that directly or indirectly relates to either party's compliance with the CCPA. Specifically, Conga must notify the Customer within five (5) working days if it receives a verifiable consumer request under the CCPA.
Subcontracting:
Conga may use subcontractors to provide the Contracted Business Services. Conga cannot make any disclosures to its subcontractor that the CCPA would treat as a sale and Conga shall ensure appropriate terms no less protective than those in this Attachment are entered into between Conga and the subcontractor.
Conga remains fully liable for each subcontractor's performance to the same extent if Conga were performing itself.
Upon Customer's written request, Conga will provide Customer with information and reports demonstrating Conga’s compliance with the obligations in this Attachment.
Certifications:
Both Parties will comply with all applicable requirements of the CCPA when collecting, using, retaining, or disclosing personal information.
Conga certifies that it understands this Attachment’s and the CCPA's restrictions and prohibitions on selling personal information and retaining, using, or disclosing personal information outside of the Parties' business relationship, and Conga will comply with them.
This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) forms part of the Master Services Agreement, or other similar agreement pertaining to the Processing of Customer Personal Data, (the “Agreement”), between Apttus Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including AppExtremes, LLC, (“Conga”), and the Customer identified below (collectively the “Parties”). This DPA is incorporated into the Agreement by reference therein and neither replaces nor supersedes any pre-existing obligations of the Parties. Rather, it augments such obligations in the context of certain applicable laws and regulations pertaining to the handling and processing of Customer Personal Data, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK-GDPR”), and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
When incorporated into the Agreement by reference, this DPA will become legally binding, effective as of the effective date of such Agreement (“Effective Date”). This DPA shall not become legally binding, unless and until Conga and Customer have executed a valid Agreement.
HOW THIS DPA APPLIES
The terms of this DPA only apply to Customer and Conga as follows:
A. If Data Protection Laws and Regulations, excluding CCPA, govern the Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement, then Sections 1 through 8, Attachment 1, Appendix 1, and Appendix 2 apply.
B. If only CCPA governs the Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement, then only Section 8 and Attachment 2 apply.

7.1.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this DPA, the Standard Contractual Clauses apply only to Personal Data that is transferred from the EEA, Switzerland and/or the United Kingdom to outside the EEA, Switzerland and/or the United Kingdom, either directly or via onward transfer, to any country or recipient: (i) not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data (as described in the EU Data Protection Directive or its successors), and (ii) not covered by a suitable framework (e.g. Binding Corporate Rules for Processors, etc.) recognized by the relevant authorities or courts as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data.

7.3 Objective and Duration. The objective of Processing of Personal Data by Conga is the provision of the Services pursuant to the Agreement for the term of the Agreement.

7.4.1 Liability. Conga shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Subprocessors to the same extent Conga would be liable if performing the Services of each Subprocessor directly for Customer.
7.4.2 List of Current Subprocessors and Notification of New Subprocessors. A list of current Subprocessors for the Services is available at https://conga.com/privacy/subprocessors and may be updated from time to time. Customer agreesto Conga’s use of the listed Subprocessors as of the execution of this DPA, as well as Conga’s addition of new Subprocessors, subject to Section 7.4.3 below.
7.4.3 New Subprocessors. Prior to appointing any new Subprocessor, Conga will inform Customer of such appointment by sending an email to Customer and/or a notification via https://conga.com/privacy/subprocessors, if Customer has signed up for such notification. Customer may object to Conga’s use of a new Subprocessor by notifying Conga promptly, in writing, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of Conga’s notice. In the event Customer objects to a new Subprocessor, Conga will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services, or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by such Subprocessor. If Conga is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, Customer may terminate the the portion of the Services that cannot beperformed without the use of the objectionable Subprocessor. Conga will refund Customer any pre-paid fees with respect to the terminated Services as of the effective date of termination.

7.5.2 Additional Audit. In the event Customer does not find the certifications and audit reports suitable, Conga will make its applicable premises and personnel available to Customer (or its third party independent auditor that is not a Conga competitor) for audit upon request and at Customer’s cost. Before the commencement of any such audit, Customer and Conga shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit in addition to the reimbursement rate for which Customer shall be responsible. All reimbursement rates shall be reasonable, taking into account the resources expended by Conga.
7.5.3 Third Party Involvement. In the event Customer conducts an audit through a third party independent auditor that is not a Conga competitor, or such a third party accompanies Customer or participates in such audit, such third party shall be required to enter into a non-disclosure agreement containing confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those set forth in the Agreement to protect Conga’s and Conga’s customers’ confidential and proprietary information. For the avoidance of doubt, government authorities and regulators shall not be required to enter into a non-disclosure agreement.
7.5.4 Notification of Necessary Changes. Upon Conga’s request, after conducting an audit, Customer shall notify Conga of the manner in which Conga does not comply with any of the applicable security, confidentiality or privacy obligations or Data Protection Laws and Regulations, which shall be considered confidential information.

Clause 1
Definitions
For the purposes of the Clauses:
(a) 'personal data', 'special categories of data', 'process/processing', 'controller', 'processor', 'data subject' and 'supervisory authority' shall have the same meaning as in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data;

(d) 'the subprocessor' means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other subprocessor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other subprocessor of the data importer personal data exclusively intended for processing activities to be carried out on behalf of the data exporter after the transfer in accordance with his instructions, the terms of the Clauses and the terms of the written subcontract;
(e) 'the applicable data protection law' means the legislation protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and, in particular, their right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data applicable to a data controller in the Member State in which the data exporter is established;

Clause 2
Details of the transfer
The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of the Clauses.
Clause 3
Third-party beneficiary clause

(b) that it has no reason to believe that the legislation applicable to it prevents it from fulfilling the instructions received from the data exporter and its obligations under the contract and that in the event of a change in this legislation which is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the warranties and obligations provided by the Clauses, it will promptly notify the change to the data exporter as soon as it is aware, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;
(c) that it has implemented the technical and organisational security measures specified in Appendix 2 before processing the personal data transferred;

(i) any legally binding request for disclosure of the personal data by a law enforcement authority unless otherwise prohibited, such as a prohibition under criminal law to preserve the confidentiality of a law enforcement investigation,
(ii) any accidental or unauthorised access, and
(iii) any request received directly from the data subjects without responding to that request, unless it has been otherwise authorised to do so;

(h) that, in the event of subprocessing, it has previously informed the data exporter and obtained its prior written consent; (i) that the processing services by the subprocessor will be carried out in accordance with Clause 11; (j) to send promptly a copy of any subprocessor agreement it concludes under the Clauses to the data exporter.
Clause 6
Liability
The parties agree that any data subject, who has suffered damage as a result of any breach of the obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 by any party or subprocessor is entitled to receive compensation from the data exporter for the damage suffered.
If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract of by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.
The data importer may not rely on a breach by a subprocessor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.
If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the subprocessor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data subprocessor with regard to its own processing operations under the Clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
Clause 7
Mediation and jurisdiction
The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:
to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;
to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
The parties agree that the choice made by the data subject will not prejudice its substantive or procedural rights to seek remedies in accordance with other provisions of national or international law.
Clause 8
Cooperation with supervisory authorities
The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.
The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any subprocessor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.
The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any subprocessor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any subprocessor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).
Clause 9
Governing Law
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
Clause 10
Variation of the contract
The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.
Clause 11
Subprocessing
The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the subprocessor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor's obligations under such agreement.
The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5 (j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter's data protection supervisory authority.
Clause 12
Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services
The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
The data importer and the subprocessor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.

If Customer is able to amend, transfer, or delete the personal information itself and chooses Conga’s assistance, Customer agrees to pay reasonable fees for such assistance at a rate mutually agreed in advance between the Parties.
If the Contracted Business Purposes require the collection of personal information from individuals on Customer's behalf, Conga will always provide a CCPA-compliant notice addressing use and collection methods.
If the CCPA permits, Conga may aggregate, deidentify, or anonymize personal information, so it no longer meets the personal information definition, and may use such aggregated, deidentified, or anonymized data for its own research and development purposes. Conga will not attempt to or actually re-identify any previously aggregated, deidentified, or anonymized data and will contractually prohibit downstream data recipients from attempting to or actually re-identifying such data.
Assistance with CCPA Obligations:
Conga will reasonably cooperate and assist Customer in responding to CCPA-related inquiries, including responding to verifiable consumer requests, taking into account the nature of Conga's processing and the information available Conga.
A party must notify the other party promptly if it receives any complaint, notice, or communication that directly or indirectly relates to either party's compliance with the CCPA. Specifically, Conga must notify the Customer within five (5) working days if it receives a verifiable consumer request under the CCPA.
Subcontracting:
Conga may use subcontractors to provide the Contracted Business Services. Conga cannot make any disclosures to its subcontractor that the CCPA would treat as a sale and Conga shall ensure appropriate terms no less protective than those in this Attachment are entered into between Conga and the subcontractor.
Conga remains fully liable for each subcontractor's performance to the same extent if Conga were performing itself.
Upon Customer's written request, Conga will provide Customer with information and reports demonstrating Conga’s compliance with the obligations in this Attachment.
Certifications:
Both Parties will comply with all applicable requirements of the CCPA when collecting, using, retaining, or disclosing personal information.
Conga certifies that it understands this Attachment’s and the CCPA's restrictions and prohibitions on selling personal information and retaining, using, or disclosing personal information outside of the Parties' business relationship, and Conga will comply with them.
