5.2 Acknowledging that Customer (and not Smartsheet): (i) controls the nature and contents of Customer Content (including any Personal Data therein); and (ii) acts as its own system administrator and controls user access to Customer Content (including any Personal Data therein), Customer represents and warrants that on the date of this DPA and during the Term:

Within 15 days after receiving such notice, if Customer has a bona fide and reasonable basis to object to the new Subprocessor, Customer must notify Smartsheet in writing and Smartsheet 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. If Smartsheet cannot reasonably accommodate Customer’s objection, Smartsheet will notify Customer. Customer may, by written notice to Smartsheet within 30 days of Smartsheet’s notice, terminate the Agreement to the extent it relates to the Services which require the use of the objected-to new Subprocessor.

7. Data Subject Rights
7.1 Customer is responsible for responding to Data Subject requests using its own access to the relevant Personal Data. At Customer’s request, Smartsheet will provide reasonable assistance to Customer, to the extent Customer is unable to access the relevant Personal Data after diligent reasonable efforts. Taking into account the nature of the Processing, and solely to the extent Customer cannot access Personal Data itself, Smartsheet shall assist Customer by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is reasonably possible, for the fulfilment of Customer’s obligations, as reasonably understood by Customer, to respond to requests to exercise Data Subject rights under the GDPR and the CCPA. To the extent legally permitted, Customer shall be responsible for any costs arising from Smartsheet’s provision of such assistance.
7.2 Smartsheet will without undue delay notify Customer if Smartsheet receives a request directly from a Data Subject under Data Protection Laws in respect of Personal Data. Smartsheet will not respond to such request except on the documented instructions of Customer or as required by applicable law.
8. Personal Data Breach
Smartsheet’s obligations
8.1 Notification to customer. Smartsheet will notify Customer without undue delay upon Smartsheet becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Personal Data. Smartsheet’s notification of or response to a Personal Data Breach under this Section 8 will not be construed as an acknowledgement by Smartsheet of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach.
8.2 Provision of information for downstream notification. Smartsheet will make commercially reasonable efforts, in accordance with its security incident management policies and procedures, to identify the cause of such Personal Data Breach, and provide Customer with sufficient information to allow Customer to meet its obligations under the GDPR and CCPA to report or inform Data Subjects of the Personal Data Breach.
8.3 Cooperation with customer’s instructions. At Customer’s sole expense and to the extent Customer cannot itself access the information necessary to comply with its additional obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws, Smartsheet shall cooperate with Customer and, if necessary, take such reasonable commercial steps as are directed by Customer to assist in Customer’s investigation, mitigation, and remediation of each such Personal Data Breach.
Customer’s Obligations
8.4 Customer is solely responsible for complying with incident notification laws applicable to Customer; and
8.5 Customer is solely responsible for fulfilling any third party notification obligations related to any Personal Data Breach. Smartsheet will not assess the contents of Personal Data to identify information subject to any specific legal requirements.
9. Data Protection Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation
At Customer’s request, Smartsheet shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer with any data protection impact assessments and prior consultations with Supervisory Authorities or other competent data privacy authorities, as required by Article 35 or 36 of the GDPR, and in each case solely in relation to Processing of Personal Data by, and taking into account the nature of the Processing and information available to, the Contracted Processors.
10. Return of Personal Data
10.1 Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.3, Smartsheet shall without undue delay after, and in any event no later than 180 days of, the date of cessation of any Services involving the Processing of Personal Data (the "Cessation Date"), render unrecoverable or return Personal Data in accordance with Smartsheet’s security practices.
10.2 Customer can, at any time during the Term, obtain a zip file backup from the Subscription Service that includes: (i) Customer’s then-current file attachments in their native file formats; and (ii) all other then-current Customer Content (including any Personal Data contained therein), in a commonly used format, as reasonably determined by Smartsheet. Upon Customer’s request made prior to the Cessation Date, Smartsheet will allow Customer’s SysAdmin(s) to have read-only access to the Subscription Service for the sole purpose of retrieving such data for 30 days following the Cessation Date. Thereafter, Smartsheet has no obligation to retain, and will render unrecoverable, such data in accordance with Smartsheet’s security practices.
10.3 Each Contracted Processor may retain Personal Data to the extent required by applicable laws and only to the extent and for such period as required by applicable laws.
10.4 At Customer’s reasonable request, Smartsheet shall provide written certification to Customer that it has fully complied with this Section 10 within 180 days of the Cessation Date.
11. Audit Rights
Audit rights at Smartsheet’s expense
11.1 Audit Reports. Smartsheet uses external auditors to verify the adequacy of its security measures and controls for certain Services, including the Subscription Service. The resulting audit will: (i) include testing of the entire measurement period since the previous measurement period ended; (ii) be performed according to AICPA SOC2 standards or such other alternative standards that are substantially equivalent to AICPA SOC2; (iii) be performed by independent third party security professionals at Smartsheet's selection and expense; and (iv) result in the generation of a SOC 2 report (“Audit Report”), which will be Smartsheet's Confidential Information. The Audit Report will be made available to Customer upon written request no more than annually subject to the confidentiality obligations of the Agreement or a mutually-agreed non-disclosure agreement covering the Audit Report. For the avoidance of doubt, each Audit Report will only discuss Services in existence at the time the Audit Report was issued; subsequently released Services, if covered by the Audit Report, will be in the next annual iteration of the Audit Report.
11.2 Penetration Testing. Smartsheet uses external security experts to conduct penetration testing of certain Services, including the Subscription Service. Such testing will: (i) be performed at least annually; (ii) be performed by independent third party security professionals at Smartsheet’s selection and expense; and (iii) result in the generation of a penetration test report (“Pen Test Report”), which will be Smartsheet’s Confidential Information. Pen Test Reports will be made available to Customer upon written request no more than annually subject to the confidentiality obligations of the Agreement or a mutually-agreed non-disclosure agreement covering the Pen Test Report.
Additional audits required by EU Data Protection Law
11.3 Subject to Sections 11.4 to 11.6, and always at Customer’s sole expense, Smartsheet will (i) make available to Customer on request all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA, and (ii) allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, by an auditor mandated by Customer in relation to the Processing of the Personal Data by Smartsheet.
11.4 Information and audit rights of Customer only arise under Section 11.3 to the extent: (i) Smartsheet Processes Personal Data of Data Subjects located in the EEA on behalf of Customer; and (ii) this DPA (including Section 11.1), the Smartsheet Documentation, and the Agreement do not otherwise give Customer information and audit rights meeting the relevant requirements of the GDPR (including, where applicable, Article 28(3)(h) of the GDPR).
11.5 Customer may only mandate an auditor for the purposes of Section 11.3 if the auditor is approved by Smartsheet in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
11.6 Customer shall give Smartsheet reasonable notice of any audit or inspection to be conducted under Section 11.3 and shall make (and ensure that each of its mandated auditors makes) reasonable endeavors to avoid causing any damage, injury, or disruption to the Contracted Processor’s premises, equipment, personnel, and business while its personnel are on those premises in the course of such an audit or inspection. A Contracted Processor need not give access to its premises for the purposes of such an audit or inspection:
11.6.1 to any individual unless he or she produces reasonable evidence of identity and authority;
11.6.2 outside normal business hours at those premises, unless the audit or inspection needs to be conducted on an emergency basis and Customer has given notice to Smartsheet that this is the case before attendance outside those hours begins; or
11.6.3 for the purposes of more than one audit or inspection, in respect of each Contracted Processor, in any calendar year, except for any additional audits or inspections which: (i) Customer reasonably considers necessary because of genuine concerns as to Smartsheet's compliance with this DPA or after a Personal Data Breach; or (ii) Customer is required to carry out by a Supervisory Authority under the GDPR,
where Customer has identified its concerns or the relevant requirement or request in its notice to Smartsheet of the audit or inspection.

12.1 Smartsheet is a “Service Provider” as defined in CCPA Section 1798.140(v).
12.2 Customer discloses Personal Data to Smartsheet solely for: (i) a valid business purpose; and (ii) Smartsheet to perform the Services.

12.4 Smartsheet understands the prohibitions outlined in Section 12.3.
13. General Terms
Governing law and jurisdiction

Order of precedence
13.3 Nothing in this DPA reduces Smartsheet's obligations under the Agreement in relation to the protection of Personal Data or permits Smartsheet to Process (or permit the Processing of) Personal Data in a manner which is prohibited by the Agreement.

Changes in Data Protection Laws.
13.5 If any variation is required to this DPA as a result of a change in Data Protection Law, then either Party may provide written notice to the other Party of that change in law.

If Customer gives notice under this Section 13.5, the parties shall without undue delay discuss the proposed variations and negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing and implementing those or alternative variations designed to address the requirements identified in Customer's notice (to the extent such variations are reasonable with regard to Smartsheet’s business operations) as soon as is reasonably practicable.
Severance
13.6 Should any provision of this DPA be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this DPA shall remain valid and in force. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be either (i) amended as necessary to ensure its validity and enforceability, while preserving the parties’ intentions as closely as possible or, if this is not possible, (ii) construed in a manner as if the invalid or unenforceable part had never been contained therein.

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;

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

2. 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.

Clause 4
Obligations of the data exporter

(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;
(i) that, in the event of subprocessing, the processing activity is carried out in accordance with Clause 11 by a subprocessor providing at least the same level of protection for the personal data and the rights of data subject as the data importer under the Clauses; and

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;
(f) at the request of the data exporter to submit its data processing facilities for audit of the processing activities covered by the Clauses which shall be carried out by the data exporter or an inspection body composed of independent members and in possession of the required professional qualifications bound by a duty of confidentiality, selected by the data exporter, where applicable, in agreement with the supervisory authority;
(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
1. 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.
2. 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 or 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.
3. 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
1. 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:
(a) to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;
(b) to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
2. 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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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
1. 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.
2. 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.
