3. Data Protection

In respect of personal data processed in the course of providing the Services, Honeybadger shall adhere to the following requirements:

  1. Honeybadger will process the personal data only in accordance with the written instructions from Customer (the Services Agreement and this DPA are hereby deemed to be Customer’s sole written instructions) and only in compliance with Data Protection Legislation. The nature and purposes of the processing shall be limited to that which is necessary to carry out such instructions, and not for Honeybadger’s own purposes, or for any other purposes except as required by law.

These measures shall take 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.

Honeybadger will ensure that all Honeybadger personnel required to access the personal data are informed of the confidential nature of the personal data and comply with the obligations set out in this DPA. Honeybadger further ensures that all such individuals shall be under an appropriate obligation of confidentiality (whether a contractual or statutory duty).

  5. Honeybadger will take all reasonable steps to assist Customer in meeting Customer’s obligations under applicable Data Protection Legislation, including Customer’s obligations to respond to requests by data subjects to exercise their rights with respect to personal data, adhere to data security obligations, respond to data breaches and other incidents involving personal data, conduct data protection impact assessments, and consult with supervisory authorities.

  8. Honeybadger will allow Customer and its respective auditors or authorized agents to conduct audits and inspections during the term of the Services Agreement and for 12 months thereafter, which shall solely include, unless otherwise expressly required by applicable law, providing access to summaries of Honeybadger’s data protection and data security measures and access to personnel used by Honeybadger in connection with the provision of the Services for purposes of asking questions regarding Honeybadger’s data protection and data security measures. The purposes of an audit pursuant to this paragraph include to verify that Honeybadger is processing personal data in accordance with its obligations under this DPA, the Services Agreement, and applicable Data Protection Legislation.

  9. If Honeybadger becomes aware of any accidental, unauthorized or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure of, or access to the personal data that is processed by Honeybadger in the course of providing the Services under the Services Agreement (a "Security Breach"),

    1. it shall promptly and without undue delay notify Customer and provide Customer with: a detailed description of the Security Breach; the type of data that was the subject of the Security Breach; the identity of each affected person, and the steps Honeybadger takes in order to mitigate and remediate such Security Breach, in each case as promptly as such information can be collected or otherwise becomes available (as well as periodic updates to this information and any other information Customer may reasonably request relating to the Security Breach); and

    2. take action promptly, at its own expense, to investigate the Security Breach and to identify, prevent and mitigate the effects of the Security Breach and to carry out appropriate recovery actions to remedy the Security Breach.

  10. Honeybadger shall comply at all times with, and assist Customer in complying with its applicable obligations under, Data Protection Legislation. Honeybadger shall provide reasonable information requested by Customer to demonstrate compliance with the obligations set out in this DPA.

  11. Honeybadger will notify Customer immediately if, in Honeybadger’s opinion, an instruction for the processing of personal data given by Customer infringes applicable Data Protection Legislation.

3.1. Sub-processing

  1. Customer agrees that Honeybadger may engage third-party sub-contractors in connection with the provision of services. Honeybadger will not give access to or transfer any personal data to any third-party (including affiliates, group companies or sub-contractors) without the prior consent of Customer. Customer hereby consents to the transfer of personal data to the sub-contractors listed in Annex A for purposes of providing the services.

  2. Honeybadger shall notify Customer if it adds or removes subprocessors at least 10 days prior to any such changes if Customer opts in to receive such notifications by clicking here.

  3. Honeybadger has or shall enter into a written agreement with each sub-contractor (the "sub-contracting Agreement") containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in the Agreement and/or this Addendum with respect to protection of Customer personal data to the extent applicable to the nature of the Services provided by such sub-contractor. Honeybadger shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its sub-contractors to the same extent Honeybadger would be liable if performing the services of each sub-contractor directly under the terms of this Addendum.

  4. Honeybadger shall provide to Customer for review, copies of the sub-contracting Agreements as Customer may reasonably request from time to time. Customer acknowledges that, pursuant to subprocessor confidentiality restrictions, Honeybadger may be restricted from disclosing onward subprocessor agreements to Customer. Notwithstanding this, Honeybadger shall use reasonable efforts to require any subprocessor it appoints to permit it to disclose the subprocessor agreement to Customer.

4. Rights and Obligations of Customer with respect to Processing of Personal Data

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 Data Protection Legislation. Customer shall ensure that its instructions comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable in relation to the personal data, and that the processing of personal data in accordance with Customer’s instructions will not cause Honeybadger to be in breach of Data Protection Legislation. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of (i) the personal data provided to Honeybadger by or on behalf of Customer, (ii) the means by which Customer acquired any such personal data, and (iii) the instructions it provides to Honeybadger regarding the processing of such personal data. Customer shall not provide or make available to Honeybadger any personal data in violation of the Agreement or otherwise inappropriate for the nature of the Services.
