2. Scope of This Data Processing Addendum
This DPA applies to Service Provider’s Processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement to the extent Applicable Privacy Laws apply to the relevant Customer Personal Data. The details of such Processing are described in Annex 1. Annex 2 (Europe Annex) applies only if and to the extent Service Provider’s Processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement is subject to the Applicable Privacy Laws in force in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland, or the United Kingdom (“UK”). Annex 3 (California Annex) applies only if and to the extent Service Provider’s Processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement is subject to the CCPA. Annex 4 (Security Measures) describes the security measures that Runbook has implemented and maintains, and may update from time to time.
Service Provider is not a “payment card processor” (as defined by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard or “PCI DSS”) or a “business associate” (as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or “HIPAA”) and the Services are not designed to be PCI DSS or HIPAA compliant.
3. Processing of Customer Personal Data
Service Provider shall Process Customer Personal Data only on Customer’s written instructions or as required by applicable laws. For the Services and this DPA, Service Provider is the Processor (or “service provider” as defined under Applicable Privacy Laws). Customer instructs Service Provider to Process Customer Personal Data to provide the Services to Customer and according to the Agreement (including this DPA). The Agreement, including this DPA, is the complete record of these instructions, and additional instructions are binding only in a written amendment to this DPA signed by both parties. Where required by Applicable Privacy Laws, Service Provider shall promptly notify Customer if it receives an instruction that, in its reasonable opinion, infringes Applicable Privacy Laws. The parties acknowledge that Service Provider’s Processing per Customer’s instructions in the Agreement (including this DPA) is essential to the Services and the business relationship. Access to Customer Personal Data is not part of the consideration exchanged for the Agreement or other business dealings. Service Provider shall require that its Personnel authorized to access Customer Personal Data are under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
4. Security
Service Provider shall implement and maintain the Security Measures described in Annex 4, which may be updated from time to time provided the updated measures do not materially decrease the overall protection of Customer Personal Data.
5. Data Subject Requests
To the extent required by Applicable Privacy Laws, Service Provider shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer, using appropriate technical and organizational measures, to help Customer fulfill its obligations under Applicable Privacy Laws to respond to Data Subject Requests. Service Provider shall promptly notify Customer of any Data Subject Request that it receives and shall not respond to it, except to advise the Data Subject to submit it to Customer, or as required by Applicable Privacy Laws. Customer shall respond to all Data Subject Requests.
6. Personal Data Breach
Service Provider shall notify Customer without undue delay upon its becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data. Notification or response to a Personal Data Breach does not constitute acknowledgement of fault or liability. To the extent the breach resulted from Service Provider’s breach of its security obligations, Service Provider shall provide Customer with reasonably requested information (insofar as such information is within Service Provider’s possession and knowledge and does not otherwise compromise the security of any Customer Personal Data Processed by Service Provider or the Service Provider’s other confidentiality or nondisclosure obligations, including any imposed by a law enforcement request, a Supervisory Authority, or other governmental authority) to meet Customer’s breach reporting obligations under Applicable Privacy Laws. If the breach did not result from Service Provider’s breach of its security obligations, Service Provider shall reasonably cooperate with Customer, and Customer shall reimburse Service Provider for related costs. Customer is solely responsible for complying with all applicable notification requirements. If Customer must notify a Supervisory Authority, government authority, Data Subject(s), the public or others of a Personal Data Breach, and the notice refers to or identifies Service Provider, Customer agrees (prior to the provision of any such notification and in writing) to: (a) notify Service Provider of the anticipated notification; and (b) consult with Service Provider in good faith and consider any reasonable clarifications or corrections Service Provider may recommend.
7. Sub-Processing
Customer authorizes Service Provider to appoint Sub-Processors. Information about Sub-Processors is available in Annex 5 (Sub-Processors). Service Provider shall enter into a written contract with each Sub-Processor containing data protection obligations no less protective than those in this DPA. Service Provider is liable for the acts and omissions of its Sub-Processors under or in connection with this DPA to the same extent Service Provider would be liable under the terms of this DPA if performing such Services itself directly. Service Provider shall notify Customer of any new Sub-Processor engagements by updating the Sub-Processor Site at least 15 days before the Sub-Processor Processes Customer Personal Data. Customer may object to the engagement in writing within 15 days of notification on reasonable grounds related to data protection. The parties will work in good faith to find a solution. If no solution is reached, Customer may terminate the Agreement within 30 days of the initial objection notice to Service Provider, subject to paying all due amounts. If Customer does not object within the 15-day period, Customer is deemed to have approved the engagement.
8. Compliance Assistance; Audits
Taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Service Provider, Service Provider shall provide such information and reasonable assistance to Customer as Customer may reasonably request (if such information is available to Service Provider and sharing it doesn’t compromise the security, confidentiality, integrity or availability of any data Processed by Service Provider) to help Customer meet its obligations under Applicable Privacy Laws, including regarding security, breach reporting and investigation, and data protection assessments and consultations with Supervisory Authorities. Service Provider shall provide Customer with reasonably requested information to demonstrate its compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws and this DPA.
Without limitation of the foregoing, Customer may conduct, at its sole cost and expense and in accordance with this Section 8, and Service Provider will reasonably cooperate with, reasonable audits (including inspections, manual reviews, automated scans and other technical and operational testing only to the extent that Customer is entitled to perform these activities under Applicable Privacy Laws), in each case, whereby Customer or a qualified and independent auditor appointed by Customer using an appropriate and accepted audit control standard or framework may audit Service Provider’s technical and organizational measures in support of such compliance and the auditor’s report is provided to Customer and Service Provider. Customer (and its auditor, as applicable) shall use its best efforts (and ensure that each of its auditors uses its best efforts) to avoid causing any destruction, damage, injury or disruption to Service Provider’s premises, equipment, and personnel.
Customer shall give Service Provider reasonable advance notice of any audit. Service Provider need not cooperate with audits: (a) by anyone who has not signed a non-disclosure agreement with Service Provider on terms acceptable to Service Provider; (b) outside normal business hours; or (c) more than once per year (unless required by Applicable Privacy Laws). Audits must follow Service Provider’s policies; not impact the security, confidentiality, integrity or availability of any data; not unreasonably interfere with Service Provider’s business activities; and not destroy, damage, injure or disrupt Service Provider’s premises, equipment or personnel. Customer shall not conduct scans or technical testing of Service Provider’s systems without prior approval. If the audit’s controls are covered by a recent (within 12 months) SOC 2 Type 1, ISO, NIST, or similar audit report, and Service Provider confirms no material changes, Customer agrees to accept that report instead of an audit. Audit reports and information are Service Provider’s Confidential Information and shall be used only to confirm DPA compliance or meet Customer’s legal obligations.
9. Return and Deletion
Within 30 days after the Agreement’s expiration or earlier termination, Service Provider shall, to the fullest extent technically possible in the circumstances: (i) return or delete all Customer Personal Data in Service Provider’s care, custody or control in accordance with Customer’s instructions as to the post-termination return and deletion of Customer Data expressed in the Agreement; or (ii) irreversibly anonymize or deidentify all Customer Personal Data in Service Provider’s care, custody or control. Service Provider may retain Customer Personal Data where required by applicable law, for such period as may be required by such applicable law, provided that Service Provider shall (i) maintain measures to protect the Customer Personal Data; and (ii) Process the Customer Personal Data only as necessary for the purpose(s) specified in applicable law requiring such retention.
10. Customer’s Responsibilities
Customer is responsible for its use of the Services, including: (a) appropriate security measures; (b) securing account credentials, systems, and devices Customer uses to access the Services; (c) securing Customer’s systems and devices used by Service Provider; and (d) backing up Customer Personal Data. Customer shall ensure a valid legal basis for Service Provider’s Processing and that all necessary notices, consents, permissions, and rights have been provided (and where applicable, obtained) for Service Provider to Process Customer Personal Data. Customer agrees that the Services, Security Measures, and Service Provider’s DPA commitments are adequate to satisfy its privacy and security needs and legal requirements. Customer shall compensate Service Provider at Service Provider’s rates for cooperation, information, or assistance requested by Customer under Sections 5, 8, and 9 of this DPA, beyond self-service features.
11. Deidentified, Anonymized or Aggregated Data
To the extent Service Provider processes or generates any Deidentified Data, Service Provider shall take reasonable measures designed to prevent such data from being associated with a natural person. If Service Provider’s creation and/or use of aggregated, anonymized or deidentified data is subject to Applicable Privacy Laws, then Service Provider’s creation and/or use of such data, including but not limited to Deidentified Data, shall be permitted only to the extent permitted by Applicable Privacy Laws.
12. International Data Transfers
Service Provider and Customer shall implement any Appropriate Safeguards and conduct any required assessments as required by Applicable Privacy Laws to ensure the lawfulness of any transfer of Customer Personal Data to any Third Country (“International Transfer”). If circumstances beyond the parties’ control affect compliance with an Appropriate Safeguard or other International Transfer requirement (e.g., if a legal instrument is invalidated, amended, or replaced), the parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve the non-compliance without undue delay. If new or amended SCCs or other legal instruments for International Transfers are issued and approved by a Supervisory Authority, the parties may amend this DPA to comply with Applicable Privacy Laws and International Transfer legal requirements.
13. Liability
The total aggregate liability of either party towards the other party, howsoever arising, under or in connection with this DPA and the SCCs (if and as they apply) will under no circumstances exceed any limitations or caps on, and shall be subject to any exclusions of, liability and loss agreed by the parties in the Agreement; provided that, nothing in this Section 13 will affect any person’s liability to Data Subjects under the third-party beneficiary provisions of the SCCs (if and as they apply).
14. Change in Laws
Service Provider may on notice vary this DPA to the extent that (acting reasonably) it considers necessary to address the requirements of Applicable Privacy Laws from time to time.
15. Incorporation and Precedence
This DPA shall be incorporated into and form part of the Agreement with effect from the Addendum Effective Date. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between: (a) this DPA and the Agreement, this DPA shall prevail; or (b) any SCCs and this DPA and/or the Agreement, the SCCs shall prevail in respect of the Restricted Transfer to which they apply.

Restricted Transfers
EEA Restricted Transfers
To the extent that any Processing of Customer Personal Data under this DPA involves an EEA Restricted Transfer from Customer to Service Provider, the parties shall comply with their respective obligations set out in the EU SCCs, which are hereby deemed to be:
- populated in accordance with Part 1 of Attachment 1 to this Annex 2 (European Annex); and
- entered into by the parties and incorporated by reference into this DPA.
UK Restricted Transfers
To the extent that any Processing of Customer Personal Data under this DPA involves a UK Restricted Transfer from Customer to Service Provider, the parties shall comply with their respective obligations set out in the UK SCCs, which are hereby deemed to be:
- The EU SCCs as varied to address the requirements of the UK GDPR in accordance with the UK Transfer Addendum and populated in accordance with Part 2 of Attachment 1 to this Annex 2 (European Annex); and
- entered into by the parties and incorporated by reference into this DPA.
Adoption of New Transfer Mechanism
Service Provider may on notice vary this DPA and replace the relevant SCCs with:
- any new form of the relevant SCCs or any replacement therefor prepared and populated accordingly (e.g., standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission for use specifically in respect of transfers to data importers subject to Article 3(2) of the EU GDPR); or
- another transfer mechanism, that enables the lawful transfer of Customer Personal Data by Customer to Service Provider under this DPA in compliance with Chapter V of the GDPR.
Provision of Full-Form SCCs
In respect of any given Restricted Transfer, if requested of Customer by a Supervisory Authority, Data Subject or further Controller (where applicable) – on specific written request (made to the contact details set out in Annex 1 (Data Processing Details); accompanied by suitable supporting evidence of the relevant request), Service Provider shall provide Customer with an executed version of the relevant set(s) of SCCs responsive to the request made of Customer (amended and populated in accordance with Attachment 1 to this Annex 2 (European Annex) in respect of the relevant Restricted Transfer) for countersignature by Customer, onward provision to the relevant requestor and/or storage to evidence Customer’s compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws.
Supplementary Measures
As of the date of this DPA, Service Provider has not received any formal legal requests from any government intelligence or security service/agencies in the country to which the Customer Personal Data is being exported, for access to (or for copies of) Customer’s Personal Data (“Government Agency Requests”).
If, after the date of this DPA, Service Provider receives any Government Agency Requests, Service Provider shall attempt to redirect the law enforcement or government agency to request that data directly from Customer. As part of this effort, Service Provider may provide Customer’s basic contact information to the government agency. If compelled to disclose Customer’s Personal Data to a law enforcement or government agency, Service Provider shall give Customer reasonable notice of the demand and cooperate to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless Service Provider is legally prohibited from doing so. Service Provider shall not voluntarily disclose Customer Personal Data to any law enforcement or government agency. Customer and Service Provider shall (as soon as reasonably practicable) discuss and determine whether all or any transfers of Personal Data pursuant to this DPA should be suspended in the light of such Government Agency Requests.
Customer and Service Provider will meet as needed to consider whether:
- the protection afforded by the laws of the country of the Service Provider to Data Subjects whose Personal Data is being transferred is sufficient to provide broadly equivalent protection to that afforded in the EEA or the UK, whichever the case may be;
- additional measures are reasonably necessary to enable the transfer to be compliant with the Applicable Privacy Laws; and
- it is still appropriate for Customer Personal Data to be transferred to the relevant Service Provider, taking into account all relevant information available to the parties, together with guidance provided by the Supervisory Authorities.
Operational Clarifications
- When complying with its transparency obligations under Clause 8.3 of the EU SCCs, Customer agrees that it shall not provide or otherwise make available, and shall take all appropriate steps to protect Service Provider’s and its licensors’ trade secrets, business secrets, Confidential Information and/or other commercially sensitive information.
- Where applicable, for the purposes of Clause 10(a) of Module Two of the EU SCCs, Customer acknowledges and agrees that there are no circumstances in which it would be appropriate for Service Provider to notify any third-party controller of any Data Subject Request and that any such notification shall be the sole responsibility of Customer.
- For the purposes of Clause 15.1(a) of the EU SCCs, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and/or the relevant public authority, as between the parties, Customer agrees that it shall be solely responsible for making any notifications to relevant Data Subject(s) if and as required.
- The terms and conditions of Section 7 of this DPA apply in relation to Service Provider’s appointment and use of Sub-processors under the EU SCCs. Any approval by Customer of Service Provider’s appointment of a Sub-processor that is given expressly or deemed given pursuant to Section 7 constitutes Customer’s documented instructions to effect disclosures and onward transfers to any relevant Sub-processors if and as required under Clause 8.8 of the EU SCCs.
- The audits described in Clauses 8.9(c) and 8.9(d) of the EU SCCs shall be subject to any relevant terms and conditions detailed in Section 8 of this DPA.
- Certification of deletion of Customer Personal Data as described in Clauses 8.5 and 16(d) of the EU SCCs shall be provided only upon Customer’s written request.

Annex 4: Security Measures
As from the Addendum Effective Date, Service Provider will implement and maintain the Security Measures as set out in this Annex 4.
| Technical and Organizational Security Measure | Details |
|---|---|
| Measures of pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data | Service Provider has deployed security methods and protocols for transmission of confidential or sensitive information over public networks. Databases housing sensitive customer data are encrypted at rest. Service Provider uses only recommended secure cipher suites and protocols to encrypt all traffic in transit and Customer Data is securely encrypted with strong ciphers and configurations when at rest. |
| Measures for ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services | Service Provider’s customer agreements contain strict confidentiality obligations. Additionally, Service Provider requires every downstream Subprocessor to sign confidentiality provisions that are substantially similar to those contained in Service Provider’s customer agreements. Service Provider has undergone a SOC 2 Type 1 audit that includes the Security Trust Service Criteria. |
| Measures for ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident | Daily backups of production datastores are taken. Backups are periodically tested in accordance with information security and data management policies. |
| Processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures in order to ensure the security of the processing | Service Provider has undergone a SOC 2 Type 1 audit that includes the Security Trust Service Criteria. |
| Measures for user identification and authorization | Service Provider uses secure access protocols and processes and follows industry best-practices for authentication, including Multifactor Authentication and Single Sign On (SSO). All production access requires the use of two-factor authentication, and network infrastructure is securely configured to vendor and industry best practices to block all unnecessary ports, services, and unauthorized network traffic. |
| Measures for the protection of data during transmission | Service Provider has deployed secure methods and protocols for transmission of confidential or sensitive information over public networks. Service Provider uses only recommended secure cipher suites and protocols to encrypt all traffic in transit (i.e. TLS 1.2). |
| Measures for the protection of data during storage | Encryption-at-rest is automated by Google Cloud Platform’s Cloud SQL, which uses industry standard AES-256 encryption to secure all volume (disk) data. All keys are fully managed by GCP. |
| Measures for ensuring events logging | Service Provider monitors access to applications, tools, and resources that process or store Customer Personal Data, including cloud services. Monitoring of security logs is managed by the security and engineering teams. Log activities are investigated when necessary and escalated appropriately. |
| Measures for ensuring system configuration, including default configuration | Service Provider adheres to a change management process to administer changes to the production environment for the Services, including changes to its underlying software, applications, and systems. All production changes are automated through CI/CD tools to ensure consistent configurations. |
| Measures for internal IT and IT security governance and management | The framework for Service Provider’s security program includes administrative, organizational, technical, and physical safeguards reasonably designed to protect the Services and confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Customer Data. |
| Measures for certification/assurance of processes and products | Service Provider undergoes annual SOC 2 Type 1 audits. |
| Measures for ensuring data minimization | Service Provider’s Customers unilaterally determine what data they route through the Services. As such, Service Provider operates on a shared responsibility model. Service Provider gives Customers control over exactly what data enters the platform. Additionally, Service Provider has functionality in the Services that allows Customers to delete and suppress data at their discretion. |
| Measures for ensuring data quality | Service Provider has a multi-tiered approach for ensuring data quality. These measures include: (i) testing to ensure quality of logic used to process API calls, (ii) database validation rules which execute against data before it is saved to our database, (iii) strong typing to enforce a strict contract between official clients and API resolvers. Service Provider applies these measures across the board, both to ensure the quality of any Usage Data that Service Provider collects and to ensure that the Service Provider Platform is operating within expected parameters. Service Provider ensures that data quality is maintained from the time a Customer sends Customer Personal Data into the Services and until that Customer Personal Data is presented or exported. |
| Measures for ensuring limited data retention | Customers unilaterally determine what data they route through the Services. As such, Service Provider operates on a shared responsibility model. The Service Provider can delete Customer Personal Data upon the Customer’s written request, within the timeframe specified in this DPA and in accordance with Applicable Privacy Laws. All Customer Personal Data is deleted from the Services following service termination. |
| Measures for ensuring accountability | Service Provider has adopted measures for ensuring accountability, such as implementing data protection and information security policies across the business, recording and reporting Personal Data Breaches, and formally assigning roles and responsibilities for information security and data privacy functions. Additionally, the Service Provider conducts regular third-party audits to ensure compliance with our privacy and security standards. |
| Measures for allowing data portability and ensuring erasure | Customer Personal Data submitted to the Services by Customer may be deleted by the Customer or at the Customer’s request. Customer Personal Data is incidental to the Service Provider’s Services. Based on Privacy by Design and Data Minimization principles, Service Provider severely limits the instances of Customer Personal Data collection and processing within the Services. Most use cases for porting Customer Personal Data from Service Provider are not applicable. However, Service Provider will respond to all requests for data porting in order to address Customer needs. |
| Technical and organizational measures of sub-processors | The Service Provider enters into Data Processing Agreements with its Authorized Sub-Processors with data protection obligations substantially similar to those contained in this DPA. |
Service Provider may update the Security Measures from time to time in accordance with Section 4 of the DPA.
