Data Protection Addendum

This Studio-C Data Protection Addendum (Addendum) supplements the Studio-C Services Terms of Service (Terms) between Studio-C, LLC (Studio-C) and you, the person or organization to whom Studio-C has agreed to provide certain services, software and content (Offerings) pursuant to an order of yours that Studio-C has accepted (Order). This Addendum forms a part of the Terms. If there is any conflict between this Addendum and the Terms, this Addendum will prevail to the extent of the conflict.

1. Definitions. The following terms shall have the meanings set out below.

1.1. The term “Applicable Data Privacy Law” means all laws and regulations that apply to a party’s processing of personal information in connection with the provision or receipt of Offerings, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), the General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) (“GDPR”), and any other substantially similar data protection laws.

1.2. The term “personal information” means information about an identified or identifiable individual (the “data subject”), and includes information protected as “personal information”, “personal data” or any analogous term by Applicable Data Privacy Law.

1.3. A “controller”, with respect to certain personal information, means an entity that determines the purposes and means of processing of the personal information.

1.4. A “processor”, with respect to certain personal information, means an entity that processes the personal information on behalf of, and pursuant to the instructions, of a controller of the personal information.

1.5. To “process” data means to perform any operation or set of operations on the data, including collecting, using, storing and disclosing it.

1.6. “Received Personal Information” means any personal information that Studio-C receives from you or your representatives, or on your or your representatives’ behalf, in connection with Studio-C’s provision of Offerings.

1.7. “Your Account Data” means personal information that relates to your relationship with Studio-C, including your or your representatives’ names, contact information, billing information, and information about your and their use of Studio-C’s online services, and includes personal information described in Studio-C’s Privacy Statement.

2. The Obligations of the Parties. Depending on the Offerings that Studio-C provides, Studio-C acts as either a controller or processor with respect to the Received Personal Information. By default, Studio-C acts as a processor with respect to all Received Personal Information, but in the cases of certain Offerings specified here or in an Order, Studio-C shall provide such Offerings on an independent controller basis. Studio-C also acts as a controller with respect to Your Account Data. Wherever Studio-C acts as a controller, the provisions set forth in Section 3 below shall apply. Wherever Studio-C acts as a processor, the provisions set forth in Section 4 below shall apply. Regardless of whether Studio-C acts as a controller or processor, Section 5 below shall apply to you and Studio-C.

3. Terms that Apply where Studio-C is a Controller. Wherever Studio-C acts as a controller with respect to Received Personal Information, Studio-C will process the personal information in accordance with Applicable Data Privacy Law and all privacy notices and privacy policies that Studio-C has provided to the data subjects of the personal information explaining the circumstances and manner in which Studio-C processes their personal information. With regards to any transfers of personal information under this Addendum from the United Kingdom, Switzerland or European Economic Area to countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of Applicable Data Privacy Law, the personal information will be transferred, and Studio-C will process the personal information (other than Your Account Data, which Studio-C will process in accordance with Applicable Data Privacy Law) in accordance with the Standard Contractual Clauses for controller-to-controller transfers approved by the European Commission in decision 2004/915/EC, which are hereby incorporated by reference. Details required under the Standard Contractual Clauses’ Annex B are set forth in Exhibit 1 to this Addendum.

4. Terms that Apply where Studio-C is a Processor. Wherever Studio-C acts as a processor with respect to Received Personal Information, Studio-C will comply with the following obligations with respect to the personal information.

4.1. General Limitation. Studio-C will only process the personal information on your documented instructions or as permitted or required by Applicable Data Privacy Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Studio-C agrees that it will not sell any of the personal information, as the term “sell” is defined in the CCPA, and will not, except as permitted or required by applicable laws and regulations, collect, retain, share, disclose, or use any of the personal information: (i) for any purpose other than for the specific purpose of providing the Offerings that Studio-C agreed to provide in your Order in respect of which Studio-C acts as a processor; or (ii) outside the direct business relationship between you and Studio-C. You agree that your Order, the Terms, and any other contracts between you and Studio-C form part of your documented instructions to us to process the personal information. The subject matter and details of the processing are described in Exhibit 3 to this Addendum. If applicable laws and regulations require Studio-C to process the personal information in a manner different from your documented instructions, Studio-C will inform you of that legal requirement before proceeding with the processing, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

4.2. Subcontractors and Locations of Processing. As long as Studio-C performs the following actions in compliance with Applicable Data Privacy Law and this Addendum, you authorize Studio-C to: (i) subcontract its obligations to process the personal information to any subcontractor of Studio-C’s choosing; and (ii) process the personal information or arrange to have the personal information processed in any jurisdiction. Studio-C will impose data protection terms on any such subcontractor to the standard required by Applicable Data Privacy Law. Studio-C will provide you with information about the identity and location of its subcontractors and any intended changes to such subcontractor arrangements on your request at reasonable intervals. Studio-C shall remain liable to you for any failure by a subcontractor to fulfill its data protection obligations hereunder.

4.3. Confidentiality. Studio-C will ensure that persons authorized to process the personal information have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality with respect to such personal information.

4.4. Data Subject Rights Assistance. If an individual makes a written request to Studio-C purporting to exercise their rights under Applicable Data Privacy Law in relation to the personal information, Studio-C shall forward the request to you without undue delay and you agree to address the request in accordance with Applicable Data Privacy Law. On your written request, Studio-C will provide you with reasonable assistance (at your expense if doing so would require Studio-C to assign significant resources to such effort) to assist you in complying with your obligations with respect to the request under Applicable Data Privacy Law.

4.5. Impact Assessments and Consultations. Studio-C will provide you with reasonable assistance (at your expense if doing so would require Studio-C to assign significant resources to such effort) in connection with any data privacy or protection impact assessment or consultations with regulatory authorities that you may be required to undertake in accordance with Applicable Data Privacy Law.

4.6. Security Incident Notification. If Studio-C discovers or reasonably believes that the personal information has been subject to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration, or unauthorized access, use or disclosure resulting from a breach of security measures (collectively, a “Security Incident”), Studio-C will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, notify you without undue delay, and in any case no later than required under Applicable Data Privacy Law. Studio-C will make reasonable efforts to mitigate the cause of the Security Incident and provide reasonable assistance to you in the event that you are required under Applicable Data Privacy Law to notify a regulatory authority or any relevant data subjects of the Security Incident.

4.7. Return or Deletion of Personal Information. Studio-C will delete or return to you the personal information after the end of the provision of the relevant Offerings, and delete existing copies of the personal information unless applicable laws and regulations require further storage of the personal information.

4.8. Demonstrating Compliance. Studio-C plans to engage third-party security professionals at its own expense to assess Studio-C’s security measures with respect to its processing of the personal information. Such assessments may result in the generation of a confidential audit report (“Audit Report”). On your written request at reasonable intervals, Studio-C will make available to you a copy of Studio-C’s most recent Audit Report subject to reasonable confidentiality controls. You agree that receiving a copy of the Audit Report will satisfy any audit or inspection rights you may have under Applicable Data Privacy Law (including, where applicable, Article 28(3) of the GDPR or Clauses 5(f) and 12(2) of the Standard Contractual Clauses for controller-to-processor transfers approved by the European Commission in decision 2010/593/EU). Studio-C shall promptly inform you if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes Applicable Data Privacy Law.

4.9. Application of Standard Contractual Clauses. With regard to transfers of personal information under this Addendum from the United Kingdom, Switzerland or European Economic Area to countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of Applicable Data Privacy Law, you and Studio-C agree that the Standard Contractual Clauses for controller-to-processor transfers approved by the European Commission in decision 2010/593/EU, shall apply and are hereby incorporated by reference. Details required under the Standard Contractual Clauses’ Appendices 1 and 2 are set forth in Exhibit 2 to this Addendum.

4.10. De-identified Data. Studio-C may de-identify Received Personal Information and may use De-identified Data (as defined below) for the purpose of creating ideas that will improve performance and effectiveness of the present and future services, products and software provided by Studio-C, to provide customized reporting and analysis such as developing attributes and algorithms, evaluating trends, and generating aggregate benchmarks. “De-identified Data” as used herein means data or information that cannot reasonably identify, relate to, describe, be capable of being associated with, or be linked, directly or indirectly, to a particular individual. For the avoidance of doubt, when data or information is “De-identified” it would not include the following identifiers (whether of the individual or his/her relatives, household members, or employers): names, geographic subdivisions smaller than state/province (including zip/postal code), all elements of birth dates except year, telephone numbers, email addresses, social security numbers or other government identifiers, account numbers, internet protocol addresses, biometric identifiers, full face photos and comparable images, and any unique identifying numbers, characteristics or codes. Among other things, Studio-C will make no attempt to reidentify such information and will implement: (i) technical safeguards that prohibit reidentification of the individual to whom the information may pertain; (ii) business processes that specifically prohibit reidentification of the information; and (iii) business processes that prevent inadvertent release of de-identified information.

5. General Obligations. Regardless of whether Studio-C acts as a controller or processor with respect to Received Personal Information, you and Studio-C agree to the following provisions.

5.1. Your Processing of Received Personal Information. You represent, warrant and agree that: (i) all Received Personal Information has been collected, processed and transferred to Studio-C in accordance with Applicable Data Privacy Law; and (ii) your instructions relating to Studio-C’s processing of Received Personal Information will not cause Studio-C to violate any applicable law or regulation, including Applicable Data Privacy Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree that you have provided all necessary notices and obtained all necessary consents from data subjects as required under Applicable Data Privacy Law before providing their personal information to Studio-C in connection with the receipt of Offerings from Studio-C. You shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Studio-C and its affiliates, and all of their officers, directors, employees, shareholders, legal representatives, agents, successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, suits, demands,

damages, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, interest, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and professional and court costs) arising from or relating to any breach of this section by you, or any act or omission of yours, or your employees or contractors, in activities arising from or relating to Received Personal Information. Studio-C reserves the right to terminate all Offerings where it reasonably believes that you have contravened or will contravene this section 5.

5.2. No Consideration. You and Studio-C agree that Studio-C does not receive any Received Personal Information as consideration for any services or other items that it provides to you.

5.3. Security. You and Studio-C shall implement reasonable and appropriate technical, physical and organizational security measures in relation to the processing of Received Personal Information, including but not limited to those required under Applicable Data Privacy Law.

5.4. Updates. Studio-C may update the terms of this Addendum, including where necessary to: (i) comply with updates to Applicable Data Privacy Law; (ii) reflect changes resulting from a merger, acquisition, or other similar transaction; or (iii) address Studio-C’s release of new products or services or material changes to any existing Offerings. Studio-C will provide you with prior notice of such updates as required by applicable laws and regulations.
