Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in the Agreement and without prejudice to the ‘Compliance with Instructions’ or ‘Security’ sections of this DPA, we reserve the right to make any updates and changes to this DPA and the terms that apply in the ‘Amendment; No Waiver’ section of the Master Terms will apply.
If any individual provisions of this DPA are determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this DPA will not be affected.
Each party and each of their Affiliates’ liability, taken in aggregate, arising out of or related to this DPA (and any other DPAs between the parties) and the Standard Contractual Clauses (where applicable), whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, will be subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability set out in the ‘Limitation of Liability’ section of the Master Terms and any reference in such section to the liability of a party means aggregate liability of that party and all of its Affiliates under the Agreement (including this DPA).

By signing the Agreement, you enter into this DPA on behalf of yourself and, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, in the name and on behalf of your Permitted Affiliates, thereby establishing a separate DPA between us and each such Permitted Affiliate subject to the Agreement and the ‘General Provisions’ and ‘Parties to this DPA’ sections of this DPA. Each Permitted Affiliate agrees to be bound by the obligations under this DPA and, to the extent applicable, the Agreement. For the purposes of this DPA only, and except where indicated otherwise, the terms “Customer”, “you” and “your” will include you and such Permitted Affiliates.
The legal entity agreeing to this DPA as Customer represents that it is authorized to agree to and enter into this DPA for and on behalf of itself and, as applicable, each of its Permitted Affiliates.
Except where applicable Data Protection Laws require a Permitted Affiliate to exercise a right or seek any remedy under this DPA against us directly by itself, the parties agree that (i) solely the Customer entity that is the contracting party to the Agreement will exercise any right or seek any remedy any Permitted Affiliate may have under this DPA on behalf of its Affiliates, and (ii) the Customer entity that is the contracting party to the Agreement will exercise any such rights under this DPA not separately for each Permitted Affiliate individually but in a combined manner for itself and all of its Permitted Affiliates together. The Customer entity that is the contracting entity is responsible for coordinating all communication with us under the DPA and will be entitled to make and receive any communication related to this DPA on behalf of its Permitted Affiliates.
The parties agree that you will, when reviewing our compliance with this DPA pursuant to the ‘Demonstration of Compliance’ section, take all reasonable measures to limit any impact on us and our Affiliates by combining several audit requests carried out on behalf of the Customer entity that is the contracting party to the Agreement and all of its Permitted Affiliates in one single audit.

We currently observe the Security Measures described in this Annex. This Annex forms part of the DPA. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings as set forth in the Master Terms.
Outsourced processing: We host our Service with outsourced cloud infrastructure providers. Additionally, we maintain contractual relationships with vendors in order to provide the Service in accordance with our DPA. We rely on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and vendor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these vendors.
Physical and environmental security: We host our product infrastructure with multi-tenant, outsourced infrastructure providers. The physical and environmental security controls are audited for SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance, among other certifications.
Authentication: We implement a uniform password policy for our customer products. Customers who interact with the products via the user interface must authenticate before accessing non-public customer data.
Authorization: Customer Data is stored in multi-tenant storage systems accessible to Customers via only application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Customers are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure. The authorization model in each of our products is designed to ensure that only the appropriately assigned individuals can access relevant features, views, and customization options. Authorization to data sets is performed through validating the user’s permissions against the attributes associated with each data set.
Application Programming Interface (API) access: Public product APIs may be accessed using an API key.
We implement industry standard access controls and detection capabilities for the internal networks that support our services and products.
Access controls: Network access control mechanisms are designed to prevent network traffic using unauthorized protocols from reaching the product infrastructure. The technical measures implemented differ between infrastructure providers and include Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) implementations, security group assignment, and traditional firewall rules.
Intrusion detection and prevention: We implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution to protect hosted customer websites and other Internet-accessible applications. The WAF is designed to identify and prevent attacks against publicly available network services.
Static code analysis: Automated and manual security reviews of code stored in our source code repositories is performed, checking for coding best practices and identifiable software flaws.
Penetration testing: We maintain relationships with industry recognized penetration testing service providers for four annual penetration tests. The intent of the penetration tests is to identify and resolve foreseeable attack vectors and potential abuse scenarios.
Product access: A subset of our employees have access to the products and to customer data via controlled interfaces. The intent of providing access to a subset of employees is to provide effective customer support, to troubleshoot potential problems, to detect and respond to security incidents and implement data security. All such requests are logged. Employees are granted access by role, and reviews of high risk privilege grants are performed regularly. Employee roles are reviewed at least once every six months.
Background checks: All Easy Metrics employees undergo a third-party background check prior to being extended an employment offer, in accordance with and as permitted by the applicable laws. All Easy Metrics employees are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with company guidelines, non-disclosure requirements, and ethical standards.
Data In-transit: We make HTTPS encryption (TLS) available on every application interface. Our HTTPS implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates.
Data At-rest: We store sensitive information such as login credentials using policies and procedures that follow industry-recognized best practices for security. We have implemented technologies such as Google Secrets to ensure that sensitive data is encrypted at rest and access is controlled.
Detection: We designed our infrastructure to log extensive information about the system behavior, traffic received, system authentication, and other application requests. Internal systems aggregated log data and alert appropriate employees of malicious, unintended, or anomalous activities. Our personnel, including security, operations, and support personnel, are responsive to known incidents.
Response and tracking: We maintain a record of known security incidents that includes description, dates and times of relevant activities, and incident disposition. Suspected and confirmed security incidents are investigated by security, operations, and support personnel using industry standard Incident Response procedures. Appropriate resolution steps are identified and documented. For any confirmed incidents, we will take appropriate steps to minimize customer damage due to unauthorized disclosure, loss of service availability, or product damage. Notification to you will be in accordance with the terms of the Master Service Agreement.
Infrastructure availability: Easy Metrics partners with Internet-scale infrastructure providers to ensure a reliable and scalable architecture. The infrastructure providers use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a minimum of 99.9% uptime. All our providers maintain a minimum of N+1 redundancy to power, network, and HVAC services across multiple geographic regions.
Fault tolerance: Backup and replication strategies are designed to ensure redundancy and fail-over protections during a significant processing failure. As a continuity measure, customer data is backed up nightly to durable data stores and can be replicated across multiple availability zones if necessary. Backups and management of data is NOT Easy Metrics intended function or responsibility. You should maintain your own separate backups for mission critical data.
Online replicas and backups: All databases are backed up and maintained using industry-recognized best practices including nightly snapshots and physically-segregated data vaults.
Our service architecture is designed to ensure redundancy and seamless failover capabilities. The server instances that support the products are also designed to prevent single points of failure. This strategy assists our operations in maintaining and updating the product applications and back-end while limiting downtime.
