      Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this DPA shall restrict Yugabyte’s ability to Process Customer
      Personal Information in anonymous format.

    3. Yugabyte may Process Customer Personal Information to the extent required by:
      1. applicable laws to which Yugabyte is subject;

        important grounds of public interest, inform Customer of that legal requirement before Processing
        that Customer Personal Information.
    4. Customer shall provide all applicable notices to data subjects required under applicable Data
      Protection Laws for the lawful Processing of Customer Personal Information by Yugabyte in accordance
      with the Agreement.
    5. Customer will obtain any consents required under applicable Data Protection Laws for the lawful

      Yugabyte against all costs, claims, damages and expenses incurred by Yugabyte or for which Yugabyte may
      become liable due to any failure by Customer to comply with Section 2.4 and Section 2.5.
    7. Customer acknowledges that Yugabyte is reliant on Customer for direction as to the extent to which
      Yugabyte is entitled to use and process Customer Personal Information. Consequently, Yugabyte will not
      be liable for any claim brought against Customer by a data subject arising from any act or omission by
      Yugabyte to the extent that such act or omission resulted from Customer’s instructions or Customer’s use
      of the Services.
  3. SUBPROCESSORS
    1. Consent to Subprocessor Engagement. Customer generally authorizes Yugabyte to engage
      Subprocessors in connection with the Processing of Customer Personal Information for the performance of
      the Agreement. Yugabyte will maintain a list of its Subprocessors at the following URL:
      YugabyteDB Managed Subprocessors
      and will add the
      names of new and replacement Processors as applicable from time to time. Yugabyte shall inform Customer
      of its intention to engage any new or replacement Subprocessors in writing at least fifteen (15) days in
      advance of the date of the intended commencement of the engagement. Customer may object to such intended
      engagement by giving written notice at the latest ten (10) days in advance of the date of the intended
      commencement of the engagement. If Customer objects to Yugabyte’s appointment of a Subprocessor on
      reasonable grounds relating to the protection of Personal Information, then either Yugabyte shall not
      appoint the Subprocessor to Process Customer Personal Information or Customer may elect to suspend or
      terminate this DPA. In all cases, Yugabyte shall impose substantially similar data protection terms on
      any Subprocessor it appoints as those provided for by this DPA, and Yugabyte shall remain fully liable
      for any breach of this DPA that is caused by an act, error, or omission of Subprocessor.

      which includes but is not limited to application programming interfaces, which allows Customer to
      integrate Customer authorized third-party products and applications with the Services (“Third-Party
      Applications”). Customer acknowledges and agrees that if Customer elects to enable or leverage
      Third-Party Applications to integrate with the Services, then it does so at its own risk and Yugabyte
      has no responsibility for any Customer Personal Information Processed by or through these respective
      Third-Party Applications, nor is Yugabyte a co-processor, Subprocessor, or Controller with respect to
      any Customer Personal Information processed by or on behalf of Customer through the respective
      third-party or through any Third-Party applications.
  4. TRANSFERS
    1. Prohibition on Transfers of GDPR Personal Data. GDPR Personal Data which are
      undergoing Processing or are intended for Processing after transfer to a third country outside of the
      EEA or UK, respectively, may only be exported to or accessed by Yugabyte or its Subprocessors (the
      “International Transfer”):

      1. if the recipient, or the country or territory in which it Processes GDPR Personal Data, ensures an
        adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of Data Subjects in relation to the
        Processing of GDPR Personal Data as determined by the European Commission for transfers from the EEA
        or the UK Secretary of State for transfers from the UK; or
      2. in accordance with Section 4.2.
    2. Standard Contractual Clauses
      1. The Standard Contractual Clauses apply, and are incorporated by reference into this DPA, where
        there is an International Transfer to a country or territory that does not ensure an adequate level
        of protection for the rights and freedoms of Data Subjects in relation to the processing of GDPR
        Personal Data as determined by the European Commission for transfers from the EEA or the UK
        Secretary of State for transfers from the UK.
      2. For Subprocessors based outside the EEA or UK and outside any country for which the European
        Commission or UK Secretary of State, respectively, has published an adequacy decision (the “Third
        Country Subprocessors”), Yugabyte will enter into appropriate Standard Contractual Clauses, as
        described in ANNEX 4 of this DPA, prior to the Subprocessor’s processing of GDPR Personal Data.
        Yugabyte will enforce the Standard Contractual Clauses against the Subprocessor on behalf of
        Customer if a direct enforcement right is not available under European Data Protection Laws.
  5. DATA SECURITY, AUDITS AND SECURITY NOTIFICATIONS
    1. Yugabyte Security Obligations. 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, Yugabyte shall implement
      appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk
      including, where applicable by virtue of Article 28(3)(c) of the GDPR, and as appropriate, the measures
      referred to in Article 32(1) of the GDPR. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Yugabyte
      shall put in place and maintain the technical and organizational measures as set out in ANNEX 2 of this
      DPA.
    2. Security Audits. Yugabyte audits its compliance with data protection and information
      security standards on at least an annual basis. Subject to obligations of confidentiality, Yugabyte will
      make available to Customer a summary of its most recent relevant and applicable audit reports and/or
      supporting documentation reasonably required by Customer so that Customer can verify Yugabyte’s
      compliance with this DPA. To the extent that the audit reports and/or supporting documentation provided
      by Yugabyte do not validate Yugabyte’s compliance with its obligations under this DPA, Customer may
      conduct a remote or on-site audit of Yugabyte’s compliance with this DPA which shall be limited to once
      per calendar year, unless requested by a Supervisory Authority or in the event that Yugabyte is subject
      to a Security Incident caused by Yugabyte’s failure to meet its obligations under the Agreement or this
      DPA. Any such audit shall be conducted by an independent reputable third-party chosen by Customer and
      reasonably acceptable to Yugabyte. Before the commencement of any such audit, Customer shall provide
      Yugabyte with a detailed proposed audit plan which at a minimum will include a detailed description of
      the scope of the audit, duration of the audit, and the proposed commencement date of the audit. Yugabyte
      shall review Customer’s proposed audit plan and provide Customer with any concerns or questions
      regarding the audit plan; the Parties agree to work collaboratively to reach an agreement on a final
      audit plan. The results of the audit and all information reviewed during any such audit shall be
      considered Yugabyte Confidential Information and shall be protected by Customer and Customer’s
      third-party auditors in accordance with the confidentiality provisions noted in the Agreement and this
      DPA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer’s auditor may only disclose to the Customer
      specific violations of this DPA, if any, and the basis for such findings, and shall not disclose to
      Customer any of the records or information reviewed during the audit. The Parties agree that any audits
      pursuant to clause 8.9 of the Standard Contractual Clauses will comply with the terms and conditions of
      this Section 5.2.
    3. Security Incident Notification. If Yugabyte becomes aware of a Security Incident
      affecting Customer Personal Information, then Yugabyte shall notify Customer without undue delay, take
      any additional steps that are reasonably necessary to remedy any non-compliance with this DPA, including
      complying with all applicable requirements of the Agreement, and reasonably cooperate with Customer in
      the investigation of the Security Incident. Yugabyte’s obligation to report or respond to a Security
      Incident shall not be construed as an acknowledgement of any fault by Yugabyte with respect to the
      Security Incident.
    4. Yugabyte Employees and Personnel. Yugabyte shall limit access to Customer Personal
      Information to those employees or other personnel who have a business need to have access to such
      Customer Personal Information. Further, Yugabyte shall ensure that such employees or other personnel
      have agreed in writing to protect the confidentiality and security of such Customer Personal Information
      in accordance with the provisions of this DPA.
    5. Government Disclosure. Yugabyte shall promptly notify Customer of any request for the
      disclosure of Customer Personal Information by a governmental or regulatory body or law enforcement
      authority (including any data protection supervisory authority) unless otherwise prohibited by law or a
      legally binding order of such body or agency.
  6. ACCESS REQUESTS AND DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS
    1. Data Subject Requests. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, Yugabyte shall
      promptly notify Customer of any request received by Yugabyte or any Subprocessor from a data subject in
      respect of Customer Personal Information and shall not respond to the data subject.
    2. Data Subject Rights. Yugabyte shall, where possible, assist Customer with ensuring
      its compliance under applicable Data Protection Laws by implementing appropriate technical and
      organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Customer’s obligation to
      respond to requests for exercising data subject rights laid down in the Data Protection Laws. In
      particular, Yugabyte shall, where possible:

      1. provide Customer with the ability to correct, delete, block, access, or copy Customer Personal
        Information, or
      2. promptly correct, delete, block, access, or copy Customer Personal Information within the Services
        at Customer’s request.
  7. DATA PROTECTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND PRIOR CONSULTATION

      shall ensure that such Customer Personal Information is only Processed as necessary for the purpose(s)
      specified in the applicable laws requiring its storage and for no other purpose.
  9. LAW AND JURISDICTION
    1. Where the GDPR is applicable to the Processing of Customer Personal Information under this DPA, this
      DPA shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the law of the Member State in which Customer
      is established or, where Customer is established in the United Kingdom or Switzerland, English law or
      Swiss law respectively. In all other cases, this DPA shall be governed by the same law as the Agreement.
  10. MISCELLANEOUS
    1. Amendment. The Parties acknowledge that the foregoing provisions are designed to
      comply with the mandates of Data Protection Laws. No change, amendment, or modification of this DPA
      shall be valid unless set forth in writing and agreed to by both Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
      the Parties acknowledge that privacy and data protection laws are rapidly evolving and that amendment of
      this DPA may be required to ensure compliance with such developments. The Parties specifically agree to
      take such action as may be reasonably necessary from time to time for the Parties to comply with
      applicable Data Protection Laws.

      mandated in the Data Protection Laws but are nonetheless permitted by such rules as interpreted by
      courts or agencies, the provisions of this DPA shall control. For the avoidance of doubt, where Standard
      Contractual Clauses apply, the terms of this DPA are meant to supplement the applicable Standard
      Contractual Clauses, in particular, by way of providing guidance for their practical implementation, and
