2. ROLE OF THE PARTIES; DESCRIPTION OF PROCESSING

2.1Except as expressly set forth in this DPA or the Agreement, with respect to Personal Data, Customer is the Controller and AssemblyAI is a Processor, or to the extent Customer is a Processor to a third-party Controller, AssemblyAI is a subprocessor.

‍

2.2AssemblyAI shall process Personal Data only (i) for purposes set forth in the Agreement, (ii) in a manner consistent with the documented instructions provided by Customer, which shall include the Agreement and this DPA, and (iii) as required by Privacy Laws or a supervisory authority; in such case, AssemblyAI shall inform Customer of that legal requirement before processing to the extent legally permitted. The subject matter, nature, purpose, and duration of this processing, as well as the types of Personal Data collected and categories of Data Subjects involved, are described in Exhibit A to this DPA.

3. CUSTOMER'S OBLIGATIONS

Customer shall, in its use of the Services, at all times process Personal Data, and provide instructions for the processing of Personal Data, in compliance with Privacy Laws. Customer shall ensure that the processing of Personal Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions will not cause AssemblyAI to be in breach of the Privacy Laws. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of (i) the Personal Data provided to AssemblyAI by or on behalf of Customer, (ii) the means by which Customer acquired any such Personal Data, and (iii) the instructions it provides to AssemblyAI regarding the processing of such Personal Data. AssemblyAI shall immediately notify Customer if an instruction, in AssemblyAI’s opinion, infringes Privacy Laws or instruction of a supervisory authority. Customer shall not provide or make available to AssemblyAI any Personal Data in violation of the Agreement or otherwise inappropriate for the nature of the Services. AssemblyAI shall immediately notify Customer if an instruction, in AssemblyAI’s opinion, infringes Privacy Laws or instruction of a supervisory authority.

‍

4. USE OF PERSONAL DATA

AssemblyAI shall not: (i) sell or share Personal Data; (ii) retain, use, or disclose Personal Data outside of AssemblyAI’s direct business relationship with Customer or for any purpose other for a business purpose under the CCPA on behalf of Customer or than as necessary to perform the Services for Customer pursuant to the Agreement, except as otherwise permitted in Agreement or by Privacy Laws; and (iii) combine Personal Data received from, or on behalf of, Customer with Personal Data that it receives from, or on behalf of, another party or person, except as necessary to provide the Services or as otherwise instructed by Customer.

‍

5. AUDIT

5.1AssemblyAI shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate its compliance with its obligations under this DPA. Upon Customer’s written request at reasonable intervals, and subject to reasonable confidentiality controls, AssemblyAI shall, either (i) make available for Customer’s review copies of certifications or reports demonstrating AssemblyAI’s compliance with prevailing data security standards applicable to the processing of Personal Data, or (ii) if the provision of reports or certifications pursuant to (i) is not reasonably sufficient under Privacy Laws, allow Customer’s independent third party representative to conduct an audit or inspection of AssemblyAI’s data security infrastructure and procedures that is sufficient to demonstrate AssemblyAI’s compliance with its obligations under Privacy Laws, provided that (a) Customer provides reasonable prior written notice of any such request for an audit and such inspection shall not be unreasonably disruptive to AssemblyAI’s business; (b) such audit shall only be performed during business hours and occur no more than once per calendar year; and (c) such audit shall be restricted to data relevant to Customer. Customer shall be responsible for the costs of any such audits or inspections, including without limitation a reimbursement to AssemblyAI for any time expended for on-site audits. If Customer and AssemblyAI have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 9 (Transfers of Personal Data), the parties agree that the audits described in Clause 8.9 of the EU SCCs shall be carried out in accordance with this Section 5.2.

‍

5.2To the extent permitted under Privacy Laws, if Customer determines that AssemblyAI is processing Personal Data in an unauthorized manner, Customer may, taking into account nature of AssemblyAI’s processing and the nature of the Personal Data processed by AssemblyAI on behalf of Customer, and upon providing prior written notice, take commercially reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate such unauthorized processing as set forth in this DPA.

6. AUTHORIZED SUBPROCESSORS

6.1Customer acknowledges and agrees that AssemblyAI may (1) engage its affiliates as well as the Authorized Subprocessors listed in Exhibit B to this DPA to access and process Personal Data in connection with the Services and (2) from time to time engage additional third parties for the purpose of providing the Services, including without limitation the processing of Personal Data pursuant to Section 6.2. By way of this DPA, Customer provides general written authorization to AssemblyAI to engage subprocessors as necessary to perform the Services.

‍

6.2A list of AssemblyAI’s current Authorized Subprocessors (the “List”) will be made available to Customer, at the following link: https://www.assemblyai.com/trust, or other means as notified to Customer. Such List may be updated by AssemblyAI from time to time. AssemblyAI may provide a mechanism to subscribe to notifications of new Authorized Subprocessors and Customer agrees to subscribe to such notifications where available. At least ten (10) days before enabling any third party other than existing Authorized Subprocessors to access or participate in the processing of Personal Data, AssemblyAI will add such third party to the List and notify Customer via the email address subscribed to receive notifications of New Subprocessors as described herein. Customer may object to such an engagement by informing AssemblyAI within ten (10) days of receipt of the aforementioned notice to Customer, provided such objection is in writing and based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. If Customer does not object during this period, that third party will be deemed an Authorized Subprocessor. Customer acknowledges that certain subprocessors are essential to providing the Services and that objecting to the use of a subprocessor may prevent AssemblyAI from offering the Services to Customer.

‍

6.3If Customer reasonably objects to an engagement in accordance with Section 6.2, and AssemblyAI cannot provide a commercially reasonable alternative within a reasonable period of time, Customer may discontinue the use of the affected Service by providing written notice to AssemblyAI. Discontinuation shall not relieve Customer of any fees owed to AssemblyAI under the Agreement.

‍

6.4AssemblyAI will enter into a written agreement with the Authorized Subprocessor imposing on the Authorized Subprocessor data protection obligations comparable to those imposed on AssemblyAI under this DPA with respect to the protection of Personal Data. In case an Authorized Subprocessor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement with AssemblyAI, AssemblyAI will remain liable to Customer for the performance of the Authorized Subprocessor’s obligations under such agreement.

‍

6.5If Customer and AssemblyAI have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 9 (Transfers of Personal Data), (i) the above authorizations will constitute Customer’s prior written consent to the subcontracting by AssemblyAI of the processing of Personal Data if such consent is required under the Standard Contractual Clauses, and (ii) the parties agree that the copies of the agreements with Authorized Subprocessors that must be provided by AssemblyAI to Customer pursuant to Clause 9(c) of the EU SCCs may have commercial information, or information unrelated to the Standard Contractual Clauses or their equivalent, removed by AssemblyAI beforehand, and that such copies will be provided by AssemblyAI only upon request by Customer.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY; SECURITY OF PERSONAL DATA

7.1AssemblyAI shall ensure that any person it authorizes to process Personal Data has agreed to protect Personal Data in accordance with AssemblyAI’s confidentiality obligations in the Agreement. Customer agrees that AssemblyAI may disclose Personal Data to its advisers, auditors, and similar third parties as reasonably required to comply with its obligations under Data Protection Laws and this DPA, subject to confidentiality obligations in accordance with this DPA.

‍

7.2Taking 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, AssemblyAI shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing Personal Data, as described in Exhibit C.

‍

8. PERSONAL DATA BREACH

8.1In the event of a Personal Data Breach, AssemblyAI shall, without undue delay, inform Customer of the Personal Data Breach and take such steps as AssemblyAI in its sole discretion deems necessary and reasonable to remediate such Personal Data Breach, to the extent that remediation is within AssemblyAI’s reasonable control.

‍

8.2In the event of a Personal Data Breach, AssemblyAI shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to AssemblyAI, provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance necessary for Customer to comply with its obligations under Privacy Laws with respect to notifying (i) the relevant supervisory authority or regulatory agency and (ii) Data Subjects affected by such Personal Data Breach without undue delay.

‍

8.3The obligations described in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 shall not apply in the event that a Personal Data Breach results from the actions or omissions of Customer. AssemblyAI’s obligation to report or respond to a Personal Data Breach under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 will not be construed as an acknowledgement by AssemblyAI of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach.

9. TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA

9.1The parties agree that AssemblyAI may transfer Personal Data processed under this DPA outside the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland as necessary to provide the Services. Customer acknowledges that AssemblyAI’s primary processing operations take place in the United States, and that the transfer of Personal Data to the United States is necessary for the provision of the Services to Customer. If AssemblyAI transfers Personal Data protected under this DPA to a jurisdiction for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision, AssemblyAI will ensure that appropriate safeguards have been implemented for the transfer of Personal Data in accordance with Privacy Laws.

‍

9.2Ex-EEA Transfers. The Parties agree that ex-EEA Transfers shall either be made pursuant to (i) the Data Privacy Framework to the extent the recipient of the ex-EEA Transfer is certified accordingly, or (ii) the EU SCCs, which are deemed entered into (and incorporated herein by reference) and completed as follows:

9.2.1 Module One (Controller to Controller) of the EU SCCs applies when AssemblyAI is processing Personal Data as a controller pursuant to Section 9 of this DPA.

9.3.9 By entering into this DPA, the Parties are deemed to have signed the EU SCCs incorporated herein, including their Annexes.

‍

9.4Ex-UK Transfers. The Parties agree that ex-UK Transfers shall either be made pursuant to (i) the Data Privacy Framework to the extent that recipient of the ex-UK Transfer is certified accordingly, or (ii) the UK SCCs, which are deemed entered into and incorporated herein by reference. The UK Addendum (including the EU SCCs incorporated into it) is (1) governed by the laws of England and Wales and (2) any dispute arising from it is resolved by the courts of England and Wales.

‍

9.5Transfers from Switzerland. The Parties agree that transfers from Switzerland shall either be made pursuant to (i) the Data Privacy Framework to the extent that recipient of the transfer from Switzerland is certified accordingly, or (ii) the EU SCCs with the following modifications:

9.5.1 The terms “General Data Protection Regulation” or “Regulation (EU) 2016/679” as utilized in the EU SCCs shall be interpreted to include the Federal Act on Data Protection of 19 June 1992 (the “FADP,” and as revised as of 25 September 2020, the “Revised FADP”) with respect to data transfers subject to the FADP.
9.5.2 Clause 13 of the EU SCCs is modified to provide that the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (“FDPIC”) of Switzerland shall have authority over data transfers governed by the FADP and the appropriate EU supervisory authority shall have authority over data transfers governed by the GDPR. Subject to the foregoing, all other requirements of Clause 13 shall be observed.
9.5.3 The term “EU Member State” as utilized in the EU SCCs shall not be interpreted in such a way as to exclude Data Subjects in Switzerland from exercising their rights in their place of habitual residence in accordance with Clause 18(c) of the EU SCCs.

‍

9.6Supplementary Measures. In respect of any transfer of Personal data made pursuant to the Standard Contractual Clauses, the following supplementary measures shall apply:

9.6.1 As of the date of this DPA, AssemblyAI has not received any formal legal requests from any government intelligence or security service/agencies in the country to which the Personal Data is being exported, for access to (or for copies of) such Personal Data (“Government Agency Requests”).
9.6.2 If AssemblyAI receives a Government Agency Request, AssemblyAI shall attempt to redirect the government agency to Customer. As part of this effort, AssemblyAI may provide Customer’s basic contact information to the government agency. If AssemblyAI is compelled to disclose Personal Data, to the extent legally permitted, AssemblyAI shall notify Customer of the demand and reasonably cooperate to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. AssemblyAI shall not voluntarily disclose Personal Data to any law enforcement or government agency. The Parties shall determine whether all or any transfers of Personal Data pursuant to this DPA should be suspended in the light such a Government Agency Request.
9.6.3 The Parties will confer as appropriate to consider whether: (i) the protection afforded by the laws of the country of AssemblyAI to data subjects whose Personal Data is being transferred is sufficient to provide broadly equivalent protection to that afforded in the EEA or the UK, as applicable; (ii) additional measures are reasonably necessary for the transfer to comply with Privacy Laws; and (iii) it is still appropriate for Personal Data to be transferred to the relevant AssemblyAI, taking into account all relevant information available, including guidance by supervisory authorities, to the Parties.
9.6.4 If either (i) any of the means of legitimizing a transfer cease to be valid or (ii) any supervisory authority requires transfers of Personal Data pursuant to those means to be suspended, the Parties agree to amend the means of legitimizing transfers in accordance with Privacy Laws. To the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of the Standard Contractual Clauses, the Parties shall execute the Standard Contractual Clauses as a separate agreement.

10. DATA PROTECTION ASSESSMENTS

Taking into account the nature of AssemblyAI’s processing and the information available to AssemblyAI, AssemblyAI shall reasonably cooperate with Customer to conduct any data protection or privacy impact assessments as required by Privacy Laws, including by providing Customer with information and documents necessary for such assessments that Customer cannot otherwise obtain without AssemblyAI’s assistance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer and AssemblyAI each remain responsible only for the measures respectively allocated to them under Privacy Laws pertaining to any such assessment.

‍

11. DATA SUBJECT REQUEST

11.1AssemblyAI shall, to the extent permitted by Privacy Laws, notify Customer upon receipt of a Data Subject Request. If AssemblyAI receives a Data Subject Request in relation to Personal Data, AssemblyAI will advise the Data Subject to submit their request to Customer and Customer will be responsible for responding to such request, including, where necessary, by using the functionality of the Services. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that Data Subject Requests are communicated to AssemblyAI, and, if applicable, for ensuring that a record of consent to processing is maintained with respect to each Data Subject.

‍

11.2AssemblyAI shall, at the request of Customer, and taking into account the nature of the processing applicable to any Data Subject Request, apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to assist Customer in complying with Customer’s obligation to respond to such Data Subject Request and/or in demonstrating such compliance, where possible, provided that (i) Customer is itself unable to respond without AssemblyAI’s assistance and (ii) AssemblyAI is able to do so in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Customer shall be responsible to the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by AssemblyAI.

12. RETURN OR DESTRUCTION OF PERSONAL DATA

Upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement and as specified by Customer, AssemblyAI shall return or delete Personal Data, unless further storage of such Personal Data is required or authorized by applicable law. If return or destruction is impracticable or prohibited by law, rule or regulation, AssemblyAI shall take measures to block such Personal Data from any further processing (except to the extent necessary for its continued hosting or processing required by law, rule or regulation) and shall continue to appropriately protect the Personal Data remaining in its possession, custody, or control. If Customer and AssemblyAI have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 9 (Transfers of Personal Data), the parties agree that the certification of deletion of Personal Data that is described in Clause 8.1(d) and Clause 8.5 of the EU SCCs (as applicable) shall be provided by AssemblyAI to Customer only upon Customer’s request.

‍

13. ASSEMBLYAI'S ROLE AS A CONTROLLER

The parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to AssemblyAI Account Data and Usage Data, AssemblyAI is an independent controller, not a joint controller with Customer. AssemblyAI will process AssemblyAI Account Data and Usage Data as a controller (i) to manage the relationship with Customer; (ii) to carry out AssemblyAI’s core business operations, such as accounting, audits, tax preparation and filing and compliance purposes; (iii) to monitor, investigate, prevent and detect fraud, security incidents and other misuse of the Services, and to prevent harm to Customer; (iv) for identity verification purposes; (v) to comply with legal or regulatory obligations applicable to the processing and retention of Personal Data to which AssemblyAI is subject; and (vi) as otherwise permitted under Privacy Laws and in accordance with this DPA and the Agreement.
