  2. With regard to and Resticted Transfer from one Party to the other Party within the scope of this Addendum, the following data transfer mechanisms shall apply, in the following order of precedence:  (i)  A valid adequacy decision adopted by the relevant authority under the Applicable Data Protection Laws that provides that the third country, a territory, or one or more specified sectors within that third country, or the international organization in question to which Shared Personal Data is to be transferred ensures an adequate level of data protection.  (ii)  A valid certification held by the receiving Party under Applicable Data Protection Laws, such as the Data Privacy Framework, held by the receiving Party, or any replacement framework as may be applicable, only to the extent that such certification constitutes an “appropriate safeguard” under Applicable Data Protection Laws, as the case may be; or  (iii) The Standard Contractual Clauses, as may be updated or modified from time to time, as well as any exhibits or additional terms that may be necessary to provide additional safeguards to the Shared Personal Data; or  (iv) Any other lawful data transfer mechanism as agreed between the Parties.

EXHIBIT C

Supplementary Terms to the Standard Contractual Clauses

By this Exhibit C (this “Exhibit”), the Parties provide additional safeguards and redress to the Data Subjects whose Shared Personal Data is transferred pursuant to the EU 2021 Standard Contractual Clauses. This Exhibit supplements and is made part of, but is not in variation or modification of, the EU 2021 Standard Contractual Clauses that may be applicable to a Restricted Transfer.

  1. Definitions
    1. For the purpose of interpreting this Exhibit, the following terms shall have the meanings set out below:
      1. EO 12333” means U.S. Executive Order 12333.
      2. FISA” means the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
      3. Schrems II Judgment” means the judgment of the European Court of Justice in Case C-311/18, Data Protection Commissioner v Facebook Ireland Limited and Maximilian Schrems.
  2. Applicability of Surveillance Laws to Data Importer
    1. U.S. surveillance laws:
      1. Data Importer represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date it has not received any national security orders of the type described in paragraphs 150-202 of the Schrems II judgment.
      2. Data Importer represents that it reasonably believes that it is not eligible to be required to provide information, facilities, or assistance of any type under FISA Section 702 because:
        1. No court has found Data Importer to be an entity eligible to receive process issued under FISA Section 702: (i) an “electronic communication Data Importer” within the meaning of 50 U.S.C. § 1881(b)(4); or (ii) a member of any of the categories of entities described within that definition.
        2. If Data Importer were to be found eligible for process under FISA Section 702, which it believes it is not, it is nevertheless also not the type of provider that is eligible to be subject to UPSTREAM collection pursuant to FISA Section 702, as described in paragraphs 62 and 179 of the Schrems II judgment.
      3. EO 12333 does not provide the U.S. government the ability to order or demand that Data Importer provide assistance for the bulk collection of information and Data Importer shall take no action pursuant to EO 12333.

3.  Backdoors

  1. Data Importer certifies that:
    1. It has not purposefully created backdoors or similar programming for governmental agencies that could be used to access Data Importer’s systems or Shared Personal Data subject to the Standard Contractual Clauses;
    2. It has not purposefully created or changed its business processes in a manner that facilitates governmental access to Shared Personal Data or systems; and
    3. National law or government policy does not require Data Importer to create or maintain back doors or to facilitate governmental access to Shared Personal Data or systems.
  2. Data Exporter will be entitled to terminate the contract on short notice in cases in which Data Importer does not reveal the existence of a back door or similar programming or manipulated business processes or any requirement to implement any of these or fails to promptly inform Data Exporter once their existence comes to its knowledge.

4.  Information about Legal Prohibitions

  1. Data Importer will provide Data Exporter information about the legal prohibitions on Data Importer to provide information under this Exhibit. Data Importer may choose the means to provide this information.

5.  Additional Measures to Prevent Authorities from Accessing Shared Personal Data

  1. Notwithstanding the application of the security measures set forth in the Addendum, Data Importer will implement internal policies establishing that:
    1. Data Importer must require an official, signed document issued pursuant to the applicable laws of the requesting third party before it will consider a request for access to transferred Shared Personal Data;
    2. Data Importer shall scrutinize every request for legal validity and, as part of that procedure, will reject any request Data Importer considers to be invalid;
    3. If Data Importer is legally required to comply with an order, it will respond as narrowly as possible to the specific request; and
    4. If Data Importer receives a request from third parties to cooperate on a voluntary basis, Shared Personal Data transmitted in plain text may only be provided to public authorities with the express agreement of Data Exporter.

6.  Termination

This Exhibit shall automatically terminate with respect to the Shared Personal Data transferred in reliance of the EU 2021 Standard Contractual Clauses if the European Commission or a competent supervisory authority approves a different lawful transfer mechanism that would be applicable to the data transfers covered by the EU 2021 Standard Contractual Clauses (and, if such mechanism applies only to some of the data transfers, this Exhibit will terminate only with respect to those transfers) and that does not require the additional safeguards set forth in this Exhibit.
