2. Data Protection
2.1. Relationship of the Parties. As between the parties and for the purposes of this DPA, Subscriber appoints Skilljar as a Processor to Process the Data on behalf of Subscriber. Where applicable, Skilljar is a “service provider” as defined in the CCPA. Each party shall be responsible for complying with its own obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law. In the case of Subscriber, the foregoing obligations include but are not limited to providing notice to Data Subjects, and obtaining and periodically refreshing the consent of Data Subjects, where required, to authorize Subscriber’s transfer of Data to Skilljar in connection with its use of Skilljar’s Services and Subscriber’s own Processing of Data. In the case of Skilljar, the foregoing obligations include but are not limited to assisting Subscriber in meeting Subscriber’s obligations as a Controller under Applicable Data Protection Law on the terms described in this DPA.
2.2. Purpose Limitation. Each party acknowledges and agrees that all Data is disclosed by Subscriber hereunder only for those limited and specified purposes set forth in the Agreement and this DPA. Skilljar shall Process the Data as a Processor only as necessary to perform the Services for Subscriber under the Agreement, and strictly in accordance with the documented instructions of Subscriber (including those in this DPA and the Agreement). In no event shall Skilljar Process the Data for its own purposes or those of any third party. Subscriber shall only give lawful instructions that comply with Applicable Data Protection Law and shall ensure that Skilljar’s Processing of Data, when done in accordance with Subscriber’s instructions, will not cause Skilljar to violate Applicable Data Protection Law. Skilljar shall inform Subscriber if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes Applicable Data Protection Law. In any case where confirmation of a Controller’s instructions is required by Applicable Data Protection Law, the parties agree that the Agreement, together with this DPA, represents the complete and final documented instructions from the Controller of the Data to Skilljar as of the date of this DPA for the Processing of Data. For the avoidance of doubt, Skilljar may anonymize or deidentify Data in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws (“Deidentified Data”), provided Skilljar: (i) implements technical safeguards that prohibit re-identification of the Data Subject to whom the information may pertain; (ii) implements business Processes that specifically prohibit reidentification of the Deidentified Data and prevent the inadvertent release of Deidentified Data; and (iii) makes no attempt to reidentify the Deidentified Data.
2.3. International Transfers of Data. Skilljar is located in the United States and Processes the Data in the United States. For Skilljar to perform Services for Subscriber pursuant to the Agreement, Subscriber transfers (directly or indirectly) Personal Data to Skilljar in the United States. For Personal Data subject to European Data Protection Law, Skilljar agrees to abide by and Process the Data in compliance with the Model Clauses, which are incorporated in full by reference and form an integral part of this DPA. To the extent that Skilljar processes Personal Data in a jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which the Personal Data was collected, and the processing jurisdiction has not been recognized as providing an adequate level of protection under Applicable Data Protection Laws, Skilljar agrees to comply with such transfer mechanism(s) as have been approved for use under Applicable Data Protection Laws (which may include, in the case of Europe, the Model Clauses in the form attached hereto). For the purposes of the Model Clauses, the parties agree that:
2.3.1. Skilljar is the "data importer" and Subscriber is the "data exporter" (notwithstanding that Subscriber may itself be located outside the EEA/UK and/or a Processor acting on behalf of a third-party Controller);
2.3.2. Appendix A (Processing Particulars), Appendix B (Specific Security Measures), and the List (as defined in Section 2.7) of this DPA shall form Annex I, Annex II, and Annex III of the Model Clauses, respectively;
2.3.3. Option 2 under clause 9 of the Model Clauses will apply with respect to Sub-Processors. Annex III of the Model Clauses shall be subject to General Written Authorization, where “General Written Authorization” means that Skilljar has Subscriber’s general authorization (or the general authorization of the Controller of the Data) for the engagement of sub-Processor(s) from the List (as defined in Section 2.7), which shall be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, this DPA, and all Applicable Data Protection Law;
2.3.4. Audits described in clause 8.9 of the Model Clauses shall be carried out in accordance with the audit provisions detailed in Section 2.12 of this DPA;
2.3.5. The option under clause 11 of the Model Clauses shall not apply;
2.3.6. For purposes of clauses 17 and 18 of the Model Clauses, this DPA shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of Ireland. Any dispute arising from this DPA shall be resolved by the courts of the Republic of Ireland, and each party agrees to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of the same; and
2.3.7. It is not the intention of either party, nor the effect of this DPA, to contradict or restrict any of the provisions set forth in the Model Clauses. Accordingly, if and to the extent the Model Clauses conflict with any provision of this DPA, the Model Clauses shall prevail to the extent of such conflict with respect to Personal Data Processed pursuant to the Model Clauses. Subscriber warrants it will not knowingly transfer any Sensitive Data to Skilljar which is not necessary for the use of the Services, and agrees that any Sensitive Data submitted to Skilljar for processing under the Agreement will be processed in the same manner as Skilljar processes any other form of Personal Data hereunder.
2.4. Law Enforcement Requests
2.4.1. If Skilljar becomes aware that any law enforcement, regulatory, judicial or governmental authority (an “Authority”) wishes to obtain access to or a copy of some or all Data, whether on a voluntary or a mandatory basis, then unless legally prohibited as part of a mandatory legal compulsion that requires disclosure of Data to such Authority, Skilljar shall:
(a) promptly notify Subscriber of such Authority’s data access request;
(b) inform the Authority that any and all requests or demands for access to Data should be notified to or served upon Subscriber in writing; and
(c) not provide the Authority with access to Data unless and until authorized by Subscriber.
2.4.2. If Skilljar is under a legal prohibition that prevents it from complying with Section 2.4.1(a)-(c) in full, Skilljar shall use reasonable and lawful efforts to challenge such prohibition (and Subscriber acknowledges that such challenge may not always be reasonable or possible in light of the nature, scope, context and purposes of the intended Authority access request). If Skilljar makes a disclosure of Data to an Authority (whether with Subscriber’s authorization or due to a mandatory legal compulsion), Skilljar shall only disclose such Data to the extent Skilljar is legally required to do so.
2.4.3. Section 2.4.1 shall not apply in the event that, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the intended Authority’s access to the Data, Skilljar has a reasonable and good-faith belief that urgent access is necessary to prevent an imminent risk of serious harm to any individual. In such event, Skilljar shall notify Subscriber as soon as possible following such Authority’s access and provide Subscriber with full details of the same, unless and to the extent that Skilljar is legally prohibited from doing so;
2.4.4. Solely with respect to Data that is subject to the GDPR, and/or where Data whose disclosure is otherwise restricted by Applicable Data Protection Law, Skilljar shall not knowingly disclose Data to an Authority in a massive, disproportionate, and indiscriminate manner that goes beyond what is necessary in a democratic society. Skilljar shall have in place, maintain and comply with a policy governing Personal Data access requests from Authorities which at minimum prohibits:
(a) massive, disproportionate, or indiscriminate disclosure of Personal Data relating to Data Subjects in the EEA and the United Kingdom; and
(b) disclosure of Personal Data relating to Data Subjects in the EEA, and the United Kingdom to an Authority without a subpoena, warrant, writ, decree, summons, or other legally binding order that compels disclosure of such Personal Data.
2.5. Confidentiality of Processing. Skilljar shall ensure that any person that it authorizes to Process the Data (including Skilljar's staff, agents, and subcontractors) shall be subject to a strict duty of confidentiality (whether a contractual duty or a statutory duty) and shall not permit any person to Process the Data who is not under such a duty of confidentiality.
2.6. Security. Skilljar shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the Data from (i) accidental or unlawful destruction, and (ii) loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to the Data. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the security measures identified on Skilljar’s security policy page (available at https://skilljar.com/security), as in effect on the Effective Date of this DPA, are reasonable and appropriate for the Processing of Data hereunder. Skilljar may review and update its security measures from time to time, provided that any such updates are consistent with the requirements of this DPA and do not diminish the security of Skilljar’s Processing activities with respect to the Data.
2.7. Subcontracting. A list of Skilljar’s current Sub-Processors is available at https://skilljar.com/security (the “List”). Skilljar shall keep the List current throughout the term of the Agreement in accordance with this section. From time to time, Skilljar may amend the List to add newly appointed Sub-Processors and to remove terminated Sub-Processors. Skilljar shall not subcontract any Processing of the Data to a third-party Sub-Processor unless Skilljar provides at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of the addition of any Sub-Processor (including the details of the Processing it performs or will perform, and the location of such Processing). To the extent required by Applicable Data Protection Law, Subscriber shall promptly inform the corresponding Controller of the Data of the specifics of the intended appointment, and in any event no fewer than three (3) business days following receipt of Skilljar’s notice. If Subscriber or the corresponding Controller of the Data objects to Skilljar’s appointment of a third-party Sub-Processor on reasonable grounds relating to the protection of the Data, then either Skilljar will not appoint the Sub-Processor, or Subscriber may elect to suspend or discontinue the affected Services by providing written notice to Skilljar. During the period in which the parties are discussing resolutions to the objected-to Sub-Processor, (a) Subscriber shall not submit any new Personal Data for Processing by Skilljar, and (b) Skilljar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the objected-to Sub-Processor from Processing any Data submitted prior to the appointment of such Sub-Processor. Subscriber shall notify Skilljar of its objection within fifteen (15) business days after its receipt of Skilljar’s notice, and Subscriber’s objection shall be sent to security@skilljar.com and explain the reasonable grounds for Subscriber’s objection. If a timely objection is not made, Skilljar will be deemed to have been authorized by Subscriber (or, if Subscriber is a Processor of the Data, by the Controller of the Data) to appoint the new Sub-Processor. Skilljar shall impose the same data protection terms on any Sub-Processor it appoints as those provided for by this DPA and Skilljar shall remain fully liable for any breach of Skilljar’s obligations under this DPA that is caused by an act, error, or omission of its Sub-Processor
2.8. Cooperation and Individuals’ Rights. Subscriber is responsible for responding to Data Subject requests using Subscriber’s own access to the relevant Data. Skilljar shall provide all reasonable and timely assistance to enable Subscriber to respond to: (i) any request from an individual to exercise any of its rights under Applicable Data Protection Law, and (ii) any other correspondence received from a regulator or public authority in connection with the Processing of the Data. In the event that any such communication is made directly to Skilljar, Skilljar shall promptly (and in any event, no later than within forty-eight (48) hours of receiving such communication) inform Subscriber providing full details of the same and shall not respond to the communication unless specifically required by law or authorized by Subscriber.
2.9. Data Protection Impact Assessment. Taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Skilljar, Skilljar shall provide Subscriber with reasonable and timely assistance with any data protection impact assessments as required by Applicable Data Protection Law and, where necessary, consultations with data protection authorities.
2.10. Security Incidents. Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident, Skilljar shall inform Subscriber without undue delay and shall provide all such timely information and cooperation to enable Subscriber to fulfill its data breach reporting obligations under (and in accordance with the timescales required by) Applicable Data Protection Law. Skilljar shall further take such measures and actions as are necessary to remedy or mitigate the effects of the Security Incident and shall keep Subscriber informed of all material developments in connection with the Security Incident. Skilljar shall not notify any third parties of a Security Incident affecting the Data unless and to the extent that: (i) Subscriber has agreed to such notification, and/or (ii) notification is required to be made by Skilljar under Applicable Data Protection Law.
2.11. Deletion or Return of Data. Subscriber shall notify Skilljar of its election to have Data returned or deleted within thirty (30) days of termination or expiry of the Agreement (or such other period as may be specified therein). If Subscriber makes a timely election, Skilljar shall return or delete Data pursuant to the election within 60 days. Skilljar may delete all Data after the thirty (30) day period (or such other period specified, as applicable). This requirement shall not apply to the extent that Skilljar is required by applicable laws to retain some or all of the Data, in which event Skilljar shall isolate and protect the Data from any further Processing except to the extent required by such law, shall only retain such Data for as long as it is required under applicable laws, and shall continue to ensure compliance with all Applicable Data Protection Law during such retention.
2.12. Audit. Skilljar uses an external auditor to verify the adequacy of its security measures and controls for its Services. The audit is conducted annually by an independent third-party in accordance with AICPA SOC2 standards and results in the generation of a SOC2 report (“Audit Report”) which is Skilljar’s confidential information. Upon written request, Skilljar shall provide Subscriber with a copy of the most recent Audit Report subject to confidentiality obligations of the Agreement or a non-disclosure agreement covering the Audit Report. If documentation beyond the Audit Report and other information that Skilljar provides to Subscriber is necessary to enable Subscriber to comply with its obligations with respect to the Processing of Data under Applicable Data Protection Law (such as Article 28(3)(h) of GDPR where applicable), Skilljar shall permit Subscriber to audit Skilljar's compliance with this DPA using an independent third party and shall make available all such information, systems, and staff reasonably necessary to conduct such audit. Subscriber shall not exercise its audit rights more than once per year except following a Security Incident or following an instruction by a regulator or public authority. Subscriber shall give Skilljar thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intention to audit, conduct its audit during normal business hours, take all reasonable measures to prevent unnecessary disruption to Skilljar's operations, restrict findings to only data relevant to Subscriber, and provide Skilljar with a copy of the auditor’s report. Skilljar and Subscriber shall mutually agree in advance on the date, scope, duration, and security and confidentiality controls applicable to the audit. Subscriber shall reimburse Skilljar for actual expenses and costs incurred to allow for and contribute to Subscriber’s audit.
2.13. Additional Terms for CCPA Data. With respect to Data that is subject to the CCPA ("CCPA Data"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows:
2.13.1. The terms “consumer,” “service provider,” “sale,” and “sell”, as used in this section, are as defined in Section 1798.140 of the CCPA, and shall be understood as Processing for purposes of this section.
2.13.2. Skilljar will Process CCPA Data for the limited and specified purposes of providing the Services under the Agreement or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA, and that, except and unless expressly permitted under this DPA, the Agreement, and the CCPA, Skilljar shall not sell any CCPA Data, retain, use, or disclose CCPA Data to any party or for any other purpose (commercial or otherwise) outside of the direct business relationship between Skilljar and Subscriber. Skilljar shall comply with all obligations of the CCPA applicable to service providers and/or contractors, including, without limitation:
(a) notifying Subscriber if Skilljar determines it can no longer meet its obligations under the CCPA;
(b) not combining the CCPA Data relating to a specific consumer with any other data about the same consumer in Skilljar’s possession and/or control, whether received from or on behalf of another person or persons or collected by Skilljar from its own interaction(s) with the consumer; and
