When we act as a data processor, our customers determine the types of personal data collected, and the practices relating to the collection and use of personal data collected.
Our rights and obligations as a processor are defined by a written data processing addendum (“DPA”) executed between us and our customer. In general, we process personal data according to applicable law and the instructions provided by our customer acting as the data controller. Our customers are responsible for ensuring they:

- have the right to allow transfer of personal data to the United States
- have otherwise complied with all applicable laws relating to the collection and processing of personal data

- to third parties at our Customer’s request
- when required to make disclosures pursuant to law or in response to lawful requests from governmental authorities, including in response to national security, government interests, or law enforcement requests.
When transferring personal data to a processor (or subprocessor) pursuant to the DPF (an “Onward Transfer”), we:
- require the processor to enter into a written DPA
- require the processor to process the personal data for only limited and specific purposes defined in the agreement
- take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that the personal data is processed in a manner consistent with the DPF Principles,
- require the processor to notify us if the processor determines that it can no longer meet its obligations under the DPF Principles,
- take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing, and
- will provide a summary or representative copy of the relevant privacy protections in our agreements with our processors to the Department of Commerce upon request.
We remain liable under the DPF Principles if our processor or any other party to whom our processor transfers personal data processes personal data in a manner not consistent with the DPF Principles, unless we demonstrate that we are not responsible for the unauthorized processing.
