(a) Documented Instructions. GameAnalytics shall Process Customer Personal Data to provide the Services in accordance with the Agreement, this Addendum, any applicable Statement of Work, and any instructions agreed upon by the parties. GameAnalytics will, unless legally prohibited from doing so, inform Customer in writing if it reasonably believes that there is a conflict between Customer’s instructions and applicable law or otherwise seeks to Process Customer Personal Data in a manner that is inconsistent with Customer’s instructions.

(d) Right to Object to Subprocessors. Where required by Data Protection Laws, GameAnalytics will notify Customer via email prior to engaging any new Subprocessors that Process Customer Personal Data and allow Customer ten (10) days to object. If Customer has legitimate objections to the appointment of any new Subprocessor, the parties will work together in good faith to resolve the grounds for the objection.
(e) Confidentiality. Any person authorized to Process Customer Personal Data must contractually agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information or be under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.

(j) Service Optimization. Where permitted by Data Protection Laws, GameAnalytics may Process Customer Personal Data: (i) for its internal uses to build or improve the quality of its services; (ii) to detect Security Incidents; and (iii) to protect against fraudulent or illegal activity.
(k) Aggregation and De-Identification. GameAnalytics may: (i) compile aggregated and/or de-identified information in connection with providing the Services provided that such information cannot reasonably be used to identify Customer or any data subject to whom Customer Personal Data relates (“Aggregated and/or De-Identified Data”); and (ii) use Aggregated and/or De-Identified Data for its lawful business purposes.
4. Information Security Program.
(a) Security Measures. GameAnalytics shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement and maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Customer Personal Data.
5. Security Incidents.
(a) Notice. Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident, GameAnalytics agrees to provide written notice without undue delay and within the time frame required under Data Protection Laws to Customer’s Designated POC. Where possible, such notice will include all available details required under Data Protection Laws for Customer to comply with its own notification obligations to regulatory authorities or individuals affected by the Security Incident.
6. Cross-Border Transfers of Customer Personal Data.
GameAnalytics may share personal data with Controllers, third-party Processors and/or Service Providers located in countries that are outside of the EU/UK. These countries may not have data protection laws equivalent to those within the EU/UK, and therefore, we will only transfer personal data if it is absolutely necessary.
Restricted Transfers
To safeguard the personal data transfers, where no other safeguard mechanism is available, e.g., an adequacy decision, we will use either the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (for transfers out of the EU) attached hereto as Exhibit B, the UK IDT Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (for transfers out of the UK). These measures provide GameAnalytics with a transfer tool for ensuring compliance with Article 46 of the EU/UK GDPR, when making restricted transfers. The measures will also contractually oblige those in receipt of personal data to adhere to the same data protection standards expected within the EU/UK.
In addition to the above, our service providers and suppliers are data processors and may only use the data in line with our instructions and not for any other purpose. This and other obligations are agreed in a data processing contract, which will be in place between GameAnalytics and any third-party Processor or Service Provider, prior to any transfer of personal data.
Where GameAnalytics processes Customer Personal Data on behalf of Customer in connection with the Services, GameAnalytics will process such personal data as a processor or sub-processor on behalf of Customer (who, in turn, processes such personal data as a controller or processor) and this DPA will apply accordingly. A description of such processing is set out in Exhibit A.
The parties therefore agree that when the transfer of personal data from Customer (as “data exporter”) to GameAnalytics (as “data importer”) is a restricted transfer and applicable Data Protection Law requires that appropriate safeguards are put in place, the transfer will be subject to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, which are deemed incorporated into and form a part of this DPA, as follows:
(a) In relation to transfers of Customer Personal Data protected by the EU GDPR, from either Customer to GameAnalytics or from GameAnalytics to sub processor, the EU SCCs will apply, completed as follows:
- Module Two or Module Three will apply (as applicable);
- in Clause 7, the optional docking clause will not apply;
- in Clause 9, Option 2 will apply, and the time period for prior notice of Sub-processor changes will be as set out in Section 3 of this DPA;
- in Clause 11, the optional language will not apply;
- in Clause 17, Option 1 will apply, and the EU SCCs be governed by the laws of Denmark;
- in Clause 18(b), disputes will be resolved before the courts of Denmark;
- Subject to Section 4 of this DPA, Annex II of the EU SCCs is deemed completed with the information set out here;
(b) In relation to transfers of personal data protected by the EU GDPR, from GameAnalytics to Customer (where Customer is the Controller), the EU SCCs apply, completed as follows:
- Module Four will apply;
- in Clause 7, the optional docking clause will not apply;
- in Clause 11, the optional language will not apply;
- in Clause 17, Option 1 will apply, and the EU SCCs be governed by the laws of Denmark;
- in Clause 18(b), disputes will be resolved before the courts of Denmark;
- Annex I of the EU SCCs is deemed completed with the information set out in Section 12 and Exhibit A to this DPA, as applicable.
(c) In relation to transfers of personal data protected by UK Data Protection Law, the EU SCCs: (i) apply as completed in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) above; and (ii) are deemed amended as specified by the UK Addendum, which is deemed executed by the parties and incorporated into and forming an integral part of this DPA. In addition, Tables 1 to 3 in Part 1 of the UK Addendum are deemed completed respectively with the information set out in Section 12, as well as Exhibit A of this DPA; Table 4 in Part 1 is deemed completed by selecting “neither party.” Any conflict between the terms of the EU SCCs and the UK Addendum will be resolved in accordance with Section 10 and Section 11 of the UK Addendum.
(d) In relation to transfers of personal data protected by the Swiss DPA, the EU SCCs will also apply in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) above, with the following modifications:
- any references in the EU SCCs to “Regulation (EU) 2016/679” will be interpreted as references to the Swiss DPA, and references to specific Articles of “Regulation (EU) 2016/679” will be replaced with the equivalent article or section of the Swiss DPA;
- references to “EU”, “Union”, “Member State” and “Member State law” will be interpreted as references to Switzerland and Swiss law, as the case may be, and will not be interpreted in such a way as to exclude data subjects in Switzerland from exercising their rights in their place of habitual residence in accordance with Clause 18(c) of the EU SCCs;
- Clause 13 of the EU SCCs are modified to provide that the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (“FDPIC”) of Switzerland will have authority over data transfers governed by the Swiss DPA. Subject to the foregoing, all other requirements of Clause 13 will be observed;
- references to the “competent supervisory authority” and “competent courts” will be interpreted as references to the FDPIC and competent courts in Switzerland;
- in Clause 17, the EU SCCs will be governed by the laws of Switzerland; and
- Clause 18(b) states that disputes will be resolved before the applicable courts of Switzerland.
The parties agree that:
- the certification of deletion required by Clause 8.5 and Clause 16(d) of the Standard Contractual Clauses will be provided upon Customer’s written request;
- the measures GameAnalytics is required to take under Clause 8.6(c) of the Standard Contractual Clauses will only cover GameAnalytics’ impacted systems;
- the audit described in Clause 8.9 of the Standard Contractual Clauses shall be carried out in accordance with Section 7 of this Addendum;
- GameAnalytics may engage sub processors using EU Standard Contractual Clauses or any other safeguard mechanism provided that such safeguard mechanism complies with applicable Data Protection Laws and such use of sub processors shall not be deemed to comply with Clause 9 of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses;
- the termination right contemplated by Clause 14(f) and Clause 16(c) of the Standard Contractual Clauses will be limited to the termination of the Standard Contractual Clauses, in which case, the corresponding Processing of Customer Personal Data affected by such termination shall be discontinued unless otherwise agreed by the parties;
- unless otherwise stated by GameAnalytics, Customer will be responsible for communicating with data subjects pursuant to Clause 15.1(a) of the Standard Contractual Clauses;
- the information required under Clause 15.1(c) will be provided upon Customer’s written request; and
- notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer will reimburse GameAnalytics for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by GameAnalytics in connection with the performance of GameAnalytics’ obligations under Clause 15.1(b) and Clause 15.2 of the Standard Contractual Clauses, without regard for any limitation of liability set forth in the Agreement. Each party’s signature to this Addendum shall be considered a signature to the Standard Contractual Clauses to the extent that the Standard Contractual Clauses apply hereunder.
(e) It is not the intention of either party to contradict or restrict any of the provisions set forth in the Standard Contractual Clauses and, accordingly, if and to the extent the Standard Contractual Clauses conflict with any provision of the Agreement (including this DPA), the Standard Contractual Clauses prevail to the extent of such conflict;
(f) If GameAnalytics adopts an alternative data export mechanism (including any new version of or successor to the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted pursuant to Applicable Data Protection Law) for the transfer of personal data not described in this DPA (“Alternative Transfer Mechanism”), the Alternative Transfer Mechanism will apply instead of any applicable transfer mechanism described in this DPA (but only to the extent such Alternative Transfer Mechanism complies with Applicable Data Protection Law and extends to the territories to which personal data is transferred).
(g) The data exporter’s competent supervisory authority will be determined in accordance with the GDPR.
Data Transfer Impact Assessment Questionnaire
GameAnalytics agrees that it has provided true, complete, and accurate responses to the Data Transfer Impact Assessment Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Taking into account the information and obligations set forth in this Addendum and, as may be the case for a party, such party’s independent research, to the parties’ knowledge, the Customer Personal Data originating in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom that is transferred pursuant to the attached EU Standard Contractual Clauses or UK IDT Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses/UK International Data Transfer Agreement, to a country that has not been found to provide an adequate level of protection under applicable Data Protection Laws, is afforded a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to that guaranteed by applicable Data Protection Laws.
7. Audits.
(a) Customer Audit. Where Data Protection Laws afford Customer an audit right, Customer (or its appointed representative) may carry out an audit of GameAnalytics’ policies, procedures, and records relevant to the Processing of Customer Personal Data. Any audit must be: (i) conducted during GameAnalytics’ regular business hours; (ii) with reasonable advance notice to GameAnalytics; (iii) carried out in a manner that prevents unnecessary disruption to GameAnalytics’ operations; and (iv) subject to reasonable confidentiality procedures. In addition, any audit shall be limited to once per year, unless an audit is carried out at the direction of a government authority having proper jurisdiction.

(a) Data Deletion. GameAnalytics will delete all Customer Personal Data at the expiry of the GameAnalytics retention period, in accordance with the GameAnalytics’ Data Retention Schedule (Clause 8, letter b), except where GameAnalytics is required to retain copies under applicable laws, in which case GameAnalytics will isolate and protect that Customer Personal Data from any further Processing except to the extent required by applicable laws.
