2.1    Customer and Smartsheet agree that, as between the Parties, Customer is a Controller and Smartsheet is a Processor of Customer Personal Data and that each Party is solely responsible for its compliance with Data Protection Laws applicable to it and for fulfilling any of its related obligations to third parties, including Data Subjects and Supervisory Authorities.

2.2    Customer as Controller. 

  • 2.2.1    Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy of Customer Personal Data and the legality of the means by which Customer acquires, discloses, and processes Customer Personal Data.
  • 2.2.2   Customer’s instructions to Smartsheet to Process Customer Personal Data will comply with Data Protection Laws and be duly authorized, with all necessary rights, permissions, and consents secured. 

2.3    Smartsheet as Processor.

  • 2.3.1    Smartsheet will Process Customer Personal Data only: (a) as instructed by Customer in writing or as initiated by authorized Users via an online Service; (b) as necessary to provide the Services and prevent or address technical problems with an online Service or violations of the Agreement or this DPA; or (c) as required by applicable law. Schedule 1 (Details of Processing of Customer Personal Data) sets out a description of Smartsheet’s Processing of Customer Personal Data. Smartsheet agrees to immediately inform Customer if Smartsheet reasonably believes that any instruction to Process Customer Personal Data violates, or would violate, Data Protection Laws.
  • 2.3.2   Smartsheet will ensure that Smartsheet Personnel: (a) access Customer Personal Data only to the extent necessary to perform Smartsheet’s Processing obligations under this DPA and the Agreement; (b) are bound by confidentiality obligations with respect to Customer Personal Data substantially as protective as those set forth in this DPA and the Agreement; and (c) are subject to appropriate training relating to the Processing of Customer Personal Data. 
  • 2.3.3    Smartsheet will not sell or share Customer Personal Data in violation of Data Protection Laws. 
  • 2.3.4   Smartsheet will not assess the type or substance of Customer Content to identify whether it is Customer Personal Data and/or subject to any specific legal requirements.

3.       Security.

3.1    Smartsheet will implement and maintain technical, physical, and organizational measures and controls designed to protect and secure Customer Content (including the return and deletion thereof) in accordance with the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer is solely responsible for independently assessing and ultimately implementing such security configuration settings made available to Customer by Smartsheet as it deems necessary to meet its requirements and legal obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws.

3.2    Customer acknowledges that, through its Users, Customer: (a) controls the type and substance of Customer Content; and (b) sets User permissions to access Customer Content; and therefore, Customer is responsible for reviewing and evaluating whether the documented functionality of an online Service meets Customer’s required security obligations relating to Customer Personal Data under Data Protection Laws.

 

4.       Subprocessors.

4.1    Smartsheet's Subprocessors will be identified at www.smartsheet.com/legal/subprocessors and may be updated by Smartsheet from time to time in accordance with this DPA. Customer authorizes Smartsheet Affiliates to act as Subprocessors and to use any identified Subprocessors subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.

4.2    Smartsheet will carry out appropriate due diligence on each Subprocessor and have a written agreement with each Subprocessor that includes provisions for Processing Customer Personal Data that are at least as protective as those set out in this DPA.

4.4    New Subprocessors; Right to Object.

  • 4.4.1    Customer must fill out the form available at www.smartsheet.com/legal/subprocessor-notification to receive notifications of new Subprocessor appointments by Smartsheet. Following submission of such form, Smartsheet will provide prior written notice to Customer if Smartsheet intends to appoint new Subprocessors; provided, however, that Smartsheet will notify Customer in writing without undue delay after the appointment of a new, temporary Subprocessor if direct involvement of such Subprocessor is necessary for maintaining the availability and security of the online Services or Customer Content. 
  • 4.4.2    If Customer objects to a new Subprocessor on a reasonable basis related to the Processing of Customer Personal Data, Customer must notify Smartsheet in writing within fifteen (15) days after receiving an appointment notice; otherwise, Smartsheet will deem the appointment of the new Subprocessor authorized by Customer. Upon receipt of an objection notice from Customer, Smartsheet will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the online Services or recommend a commercially reasonable configuration or use of the online Services to avoid the Processing of Customer Personal Data by the new Subprocessor. If Smartsheet cannot address Customer’s objection pursuant to the foregoing efforts, Smartsheet will notify Customer within fifteen (15) days of receipt of Customer’s objection notice. Customer may then, by written notice to Smartsheet within thirty (30) days of Smartsheet’s notice, terminate this DPA and any affected Services and receive a refund of prepaid fees covering the terminated portion of the applicable Service.

6.4    If Customer requires specific information relating to a Data Breach in addition to the Breach Information, at Customer’s written request and to the extent Customer is unable to access the additional information on its own, Smartsheet will reasonably cooperate with Customer as requested by Customer to attempt to collect and provide such additional information.

 

7.       Audit Rights.

The Audit will: (a) be performed by independent third party security professionals at Smartsheet's selection and expense; (b) include testing of the security measures and controls of the online Services, performed according to AICPA SOC2 standards or such other alternative standards substantially equal to AICPA SOC2, that results in the generation of, at a minimum, a SOC2 report or the substantive equivalent; and (c) include penetration testing of the online Services and result in the generation of a penetration test report.  The reports generated by the Audit (“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. For clarity, each Report will only discuss the online Services in general commercial availability at the time the Report was issued; subsequently released Services, if covered by a Report, will be in the next annual iteration of such Report.

7.2    Upon Customer’s written request, Smartsheet will provide reasonable assistance to Customer in relation to data protection impact assessments and consultations with Supervisory Authorities, taking into account the nature of Smartsheet’s Processing activities and the information available to Smartsheet. If Customer requires information for its compliance with Data Protection Laws in addition to the foregoing and the Reports, at Customer’s sole expense and written request and to the extent Customer is unable to access the additional information on its own, Smartsheet will allow for and cooperate with a Customer mandated audit by a third party auditor in relation to the Smartsheet’s Processing of Customer Personal Data (“Customer Audit”), provided that:

8.2     To the extent that Smartsheet Processes Customer Personal Data originating from and protected by applicable Data Protection Laws in one of the Jurisdictions listed in Schedule 4 (Jurisdiction Specific Terms), then the terms specified therein with respect to the applicable jurisdiction(s) will apply in addition to the terms of this DPA.

8.4     If any Transfer Mechanism fails as a lawful data transfer mechanism for an International Transfer, the Parties will act in accordance with Section 9.8 (Variations in Data Protection Laws) of this DPA.

9.2    Severance. If any provision of this DPA is held to be unenforceable, then that provision is to be construed either by modifying it to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable (if permitted by law) or disregarding it (if not permitted by law), and the rest of this DPA is to remain in effect as written.

9.7    Liability. As between the Parties to this DPA, each Party’s liability and remedies under this DPA are subject to the aggregate liability limitations and damages exclusions set forth in the Agreement.

9.8    Variations in Data Protection Laws. If any variation is required to this DPA as a result of a change in or subsequently applicable Data Protection Law, then either Party may provide written notice to the other Party of that change in law. The Parties will then discuss and negotiate in good faith any variations to this DPA necessary to address such changes, with a view to agreeing and implementing those or alternative variations as soon as practicable, provided that such variations are reasonable with regard to the functionality and performance of the Services and Smartsheet’s business operations.

9.9    Reservation of Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this DPA: (a) Smartsheet reserves the right to withhold information the disclosure of which would pose a security risk to Smartsheet or its customers or is prohibited by applicable law or contractual obligation; and (b) Smartsheet’s notifications, responses, or provision of information or cooperation under this DPA are not an acknowledgement by Smartsheet of any fault or liability.

9.10  Regulatory Requests. In the event Smartsheet is required by law or legal process to disclose Customer Personal Data, Smartsheet, to the extent legally permitted, agrees to give Customer prior notice of such disclosure to afford Customer a reasonable opportunity to appear, object, and obtain a protective order or other appropriate relief regarding such disclosure.
