4. DYNABOARD’S OBLIGATIONS
- Dynaboard shall process Company Data only in accordance with Customer’s documented lawful instructions as set forth in this DPA, for Permitted Purposes, as necessary to comply with applicable law, or as otherwise agreed to in writing. The parties agree that the Agreement and this DPA set out Customer’s complete and final instructions to Dynaboard in relation to the processing of Company Data, and processing outside the scope of these instructions (if any) shall require prior written agreement between the parties.
- To the extent legally required under California Privacy Law and any other Applicable Data Protection Law, Dynaboard agrees (i) to only use Company Data to provide the Services under the Agreement; (ii) to not collect, retain, use, sell, share, disclose or otherwise process any Company Data, for any purpose other than providing the Services under the Agreement, or as otherwise permitted; and (iii) not to combine Company Data with Personal Data that Dynaboard receives from or on behalf of another person or entity or collects from its own interactions with a Data Subject except to perform the Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement (including this DPA), Customer acknowledges that Dynaboard shall have a right to process Personal Data in relation to the support and/or use of the Services for its legitimate business purposes, such as billing, account management, technical support, product development and sales and marketing. Dynaboard understands the restrictions in this section, and hereby certifies that it understands its obligations and will comply with them.
Dynaboard shall implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect all Company Data from Data Breaches and to preserve their security, integrity, and confidentiality. Such 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 so as to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks represented by the processing and the nature of the Company Data to be protected. At a minimum, these measures must include the measures identified in Schedule 2 of this DPA.
- Customer acknowledges that the Processor’s security measures are subject to technical progress and development and that Dynaboard may update or modify the security measures from time to time provided that such updates and modifications do not result in the degradation of the overall security of the Services purchased by Customer. Customer is responsible for reviewing the information made available by Dynaboard relating to data security and making an independent determination as to whether the Services meet Customer’s requirements and legal obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law.
- Notwithstanding the above, Customer agrees that except as provided by this DPA, Customer is responsible for its secure use of the Services, including securing its account authentication credentials, protecting the security of Company Data when in transit to and from the Services and taking any appropriate steps to securely encrypt or backup any Company Data uploaded to the Services.
- Any person that Dynaboard authorizes to process Personal Data (including the Processor's staff, agents, and Sub-processors) (“Personnel”) will be under appropriate obligations of confidentiality (whether a contractual or statutory duty), will receive appropriate training, and are informed about the confidential nature of the Personal Data and their obligations related to it and have access to Personal Data only in accordance with need-to-know principle. The Personnel process the Personal Data only as necessary for the Permitted Purpose.
- Dynaboard will not disclose Company Data to third parties except as permitted by this DPA or the Agreement. If requested or required by a competent governmental authority to disclose Company Data, to the extent legally permissible and practicable, Dynaboard will provide Customer with sufficient prior written notice in order to permit Customer the opportunity to oppose any such disclosure.
- Dynaboard shall promptly notify Customer in writing of any complaints, questions or requests received from Data Subjects or Regulators regarding the Company Data. Taking into account the nature of the Processing and to the extent legally required and reasonably possible, Dynaboard will provide Customer with commercially reasonable assistance in relation to the handling of a Data Subject’s request to the extent legally required to do so. To the extent Customer, in its use of the Services, does not have the ability to correct, block or delete Company Data, Dynaboard shall comply with any commercially reasonable request by Customer to facilitate such actions to the extent Dynaboard is legally required to do so under Applicable Data Protection Law.
- Dynaboard will retain Company Data only for as long as the Customer deems it necessary for the Permitted Purpose, or as required by Applicable Data Protection Law. At the termination of this DPA, or upon Customer’s written request, Dynaboard will either destroy or return the Company Data to Customer, unless legal obligations require storage of the Company Data.
- To the extent legally required under the Applicable Data Protection Law, upon Customer’s request, Dynaboard will provide reasonable assistance to Customer necessary for Customer to fulfil its obligation under the Applicable Data Protection Law to carry out a data protection impact assessment related to Customer’s use of the Services, to the extent Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information, and to the extent such information is available to Dynaboard.
- If Dynaboard becomes aware of any Data Breach, Dynaboard will (i) promptly notify Customer of the Data Breach, but in no event later than seventy-two (72) hours after Dynaboard has confirmed a Data Breach impacting Company Data; (ii) investigate the Data Breach and provide Customer with information about the Data Breach; and (iii) take reasonable steps to mitigate the effects and to minimize any damage resulting from the Data Breach. Dynaboard will provide reasonable assistance to Customer in fulfilling its obligations to notify Data Subjects and the relevant authorities in relation to a Data Breach, provided that nothing in this section shall prevent either party from complying with its obligations under the Applicable Data Protection Laws. The Parties agree to coordinate in good faith on developing the content of any related public statements. Processor’s obligation to report or respond to a Data Breach under this Section is not and will not be construed as an acknowledgement by Dynaboard of any fault or liability with respect to the Data Breach. The obligations in this section shall not apply to Data Breaches that are caused by Customer.
- If Dynaboard receives Deidentified Information from Customer, Dynaboard will (i) take reasonable measures to ensure the Deidentified Information cannot be associated with a Data Subject, (ii) publicly commit to maintain and use the Deidentified Information in deidentified form, and (iii) not attempt to reidentify the Deidentified Information except for the sole purpose of determining whether the Processor’s deidentification processes satisfy the requirements of Applicable Data Protection Laws.
5. USE OF SUB-PROCESSORS
- Customer agrees that Dynaboard may appoint Sub-Processors to assist it in providing the Service and processing Company Data provided that such Sub-Processors agree to (i) act only on Dynaboard’s instructions when processing the Company Data (which instructions shall be consistent with Customer’s processing instructions to Dynaboard); and (ii) protect the Company Data to a standard consistent with the requirements of this DPA. Dynaboard shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Sub-Processors to the same extent Dynaboard would be liable if performing the services of each Sub-Processor directly under the terms of this DPA, unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement.
- Dynaboard shall maintain an up-to-date list of the names and location of all Sub-Processors used for the processing of Company Data under this DPA at https://dynaboard.com/docs/legal/3rd-party-subprocessors (opens in a new tab).
- To the extent Customer reasonably believes the new Sub-Processor processing of Company Data may violate Applicable Data Protection Laws or weaken the security of the Company Data, the Customer may object in writing to Processor’s new Sub-Processor by notifying Dynaboard within ten (10) days after notification described in Section 5(b). Any such written objection shall include Customer’s specific reasons for its objection and proposed options to mitigate alleged risk, if any. In such event, Dynaboard will either (i) instruct the Sub-Processor to cease any further processing of Company Data, in which event this DPA shall continue unaffected, or (ii) allow Customer to terminate this DPA. In the event of termination by Customer pursuant to this Section, Customer shall not be entitled to a pro-rata refund of the remuneration for the Services, unless the objection is based on justified reasons of non-compliance with Applicable Data Protection Law. In the absence of timely and valid objection by Customer, such Sub-Processor may be commissioned to process Company Data.
6. AUDITS
- Dynaboard (or third parties engaged by Processor) audits its compliance against information security standards on a regular basis. The specific audits, and the information security certifications Dynaboard has achieved, will vary depending on the nature of the Services in question. Subject to obligations of confidentiality, Dynaboard will make available to Customer a summary of its most recent relevant audit report and/or other documentation reasonably required by Customer which Dynaboard makes generally available to its customers, so that Customer can verify Dynaboard’s compliance with this DPA.
- To the extent that the Customer reasonably determines such report does not sufficiently verify Dynaboard’s compliance with its obligations under this DPA, Customer may audit Dynaboard’s compliance with this DPA up to once per year, unless requested by a Supervisory Authority (Supervisory Authority not listed in the Terms). Such an audit will be conducted by an independent third party (“Auditor”) reasonably acceptable to Dynaboard. Before the commencement of any such on-site audit, Customer must submit in writing a detailed proposed audit plan to Dynaboard at least 30 business days in advance of the proposed audit date. The proposed audit plan must describe the proposed scope, duration and date of the audit, as well as the proposed Auditor. Dynaboard will review the proposed audit plan and provide Customer with any concerns or questions and will work cooperatively with Customer to agree on a final audit plan before the proposed audit date. Prior to the start of an audit, the parties will agree to reasonable time, duration, place, manner and conditions for the audit. The results of the inspection and all information reviewed during such inspection will be deemed Processor’s confidential information. Notwithstanding any other terms, the Auditor may only disclose to the Customer specific violations of the DPA, if any, and the basis for such findings, and shall not disclose to Customer any of the records or information reviewed during the inspection.
7. INTERNATIONAL PROVISIONS
- To the extent Customer’s use of the Services involves a Restricted Transfer of Company Data, the terms set forth in Schedule 3 – Cross-Border Transfer Mechanisms will apply. In the event any conflict or inconsistency exists between this DPA and the terms set forth in Schedule 3, in relation to Personal Data collected from individuals while they were located in the EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, the terms in Schedule 3 shall apply.
- Insofar as the Agreement involves the transfer of Company Data from any jurisdiction where Applicable Data Protection Law requires that additional steps, or safeguards, be imposed before the data can be transferred to a second jurisdiction, Dynaboard agrees to cooperate with Customer to take appropriate steps to comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws.
- To the extent Dynaboard processes Company Data originating from and protected by Applicable Data Protection Law in one of the jurisdictions listed in Schedule 4 (Jurisdiction Specific Terms) of this DPA, the terms specified in Schedule 4 with respect to the applicable jurisdiction(s) apply in addition to the terms of this DPA.
8. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this DPA or the Agreement, Dynaboard and its Affiliates’ total liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or related to this DPA, and all DPAs between Customer and its Affiliates and Dynaboard, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, is subject to the Limitation of Liability section of the Agreement, and any reference in such section to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party and all of its Affiliates under the Agreement and all DPAs together.
- For the avoidance of doubt, Dynaboard and its Affiliates’ total liability for all claims from the Customer and all of its Affiliates arising out of or related to the Agreement and each DPA shall apply in the aggregate for all claims under both the Agreement and all DPAs established under this Agreement, including by Customer and its Affiliates and, in particular, shall not be understood to apply individually and severally to Customer and/or to any of its Affiliates that are a contractual party to any such DPA.
9. SEVERABILITY
Any provision of this DPA that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction alone, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invaliding the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute and shall incorporate such substitute provision into this DPA.
10. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
This DPA shall be governed by and construed in accordance with governing law and jurisdiction provisions in the Agreement, unless required otherwise by Applicable Data Protection Law.
11. MISCELLANEOUS

Backups & Business Continuity
Backups of critical systems, records, and configurations are performed frequently so that they can be used for the purpose of data recovery in the event of a disaster or media failure.
The restoration of backups are periodically tested to verify the reliability of restoring Company Data in the event of a disaster or failure.
System Logging
Dynaboard collects and monitors audit logs and alerts on key events stemming from production systems, applications, databases, servers, message queues, load balancers, and critical services, as well as IAM user and admin activities. Dynaboard implements SIEM-based filters, parameters, and alarms to trigger alerts on logging events that deviate from established system and activity baselines.

2.2 Swiss Personal Data. In accordance with guidance issued by the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) titled “The transfer of personal data to a country with an inadequate level of data protection based on recognised standard contractual clauses and model contracts,” dated 27 August 2021, the parties hereby agree to adopt the standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council annexed to the European Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021(the “EU SCC”) as adapted herein in order to comply with Swiss legislation and thus be suitable for ensuring an adequate level of protection for data transfers from Switzerland to a third country in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 2 letter a of the Federal Act on Data Protection (“FADP”). To the extent there is any conflict between the DPA and this Section 2.2, the terms of this Section will prevail in relation to Swiss Personal Data. The parties agree that in relation to Restricted Transfer of Swiss Personal Data, Module 2 of the EU SCC apply with the following amendments:
- For purposes of Annex I.C under Clause 13 of Standard Contractual Clauses, insofar as the data transfer is governed by the Switzerland Federal Act on Data Protection of 19 June 1992 (SR 235.1; FADP) or the FADP’s revised 25 September 2020 version, the Supervisory Authority shall be Switzerland’s Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC);
- The term “member state” must not be interpreted in such a way as to exclude Data Subjects in Switzerland from the possibility of suing for their rights in Switzerland in accordance with Clause 18(c) of the Standard Contractual Clauses. The Standard Contractual Clauses shall also protect the data of Switzerland legal entities until the entry into force of the 25 September 2020 revised version of the Federal Act on Data Protection (revised FADP). Any references in the Standard Contractual Clauses to “Directive 95/46/EC” or “Regulation (EU) 2016/679” shall be interpreted as references to the Swiss DPA.
- 2.3 UK Personal Data.
