The terms of this DPA apply solely with respect to Front’s Processing of Customer Personal Data subject to the GDPR, the CCPA or other Data Protection Laws requiring data protection terms to be included in contracts between Customer and its Processors or Service Providers (as defined in Data Protection Laws).

Front shall Process Customer Personal Data only according to Customer’s instructions or as required by applicable laws (or in the case of Customer Personal Data subject to the GDPR, the laws of the UK or EU, as applicable, to which Front is subject). Customer instructs Front to Process Customer Personal Data to provide the Services and as authorized by the Agreement. The Agreement and Customer’s use of the Services’ settings and features in accordance with the Agreement are the complete expression of such instructions, and Customer’s additional instructions shall be binding on Front only pursuant to an amendment to this DPA signed by both parties. Where Front receives an instruction from Customer that, in its reasonable opinion, infringes Data Protection Laws, Front shall notify Customer.

Front shall ensure that all Front personnel who access Customer Personal Data are subject to contractual or other legal duties of confidentiality with respect to such Customer Personal Data.

Front may modify the Security Measures from time to time so long as the modifications do not decrease overall the protection of Customer Personal Data.

Customer is solely responsible for responding to Data Subject Requests. Taking into account the nature of the Processing of Customer Personal Data, and employing appropriate technical and organizational measures, Front shall provide Customer with such assistance as Customer may reasonably request in writing to enable Customer to perform its obligations under Data Protection Laws to respond to Data Subject Requests.

Front shall notify Customer of a Personal Data Breach without undue delay after becoming aware of the occurrence thereof. Front’s notification of or response to a Personal Data Breach shall not be construed as Front’s acknowledgement of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach. If Customer determines that notice of a Personal Data Breach must be given to any Supervisory Authority or other governmental authority, any Data Subject, the public or others in a manner that directly or indirectly refers to or identifies Front, where permitted by applicable laws, Customer shall notify Front prior to giving such notice and in good faith consult with Front regarding such notice and consider any clarifications or corrections of any such notification that Front may reasonably request.

a. Authorization; Current Subprocessors. Customer generally authorizes Front to engage Subprocessors in accordance with this Section 8, including the Subprocessors listed as of the Effective Date at the following web page or such other web page as Front may provide to Customer from time to time: at https://front.com/legal/list-of-subprocessors (the “Subprocessor Page”).

b. Requirements. Front shall enter into a written contract with each Subprocessor imposing on such Subprocessor data protection obligations at least as protective as those in this DPA with respect to Customer Personal Data to the extent applicable to the nature of the services such Subprocessor provides. Front shall be liable for all Processing of Customer Personal Data delegated to the Subprocessor and its actions and omissions related thereto.

c. New Subprocessors. When Front engages any Subprocessor not listed on the Subprocessor Page as of the Effective Date, Front shall notify Customer of the engagement (including the name, location, and function of the Subprocessor) at least 30 days before such Subprocessor Processes Customer Personal Data by updating the Subprocessor Page, and if Customer has subscribed to receive notifications of updates to the Subprocessor Page through a mechanism designated by the Subprocessor Page, providing such notification. If Customer objects to such Subprocessor’s Processing of Customer Personal Data in a written notice to Front on reasonable grounds relating to the protection of Personal Data, Customer and Front shall work together in good faith to consider a mutually acceptable resolution to such objection. If the parties have not resolved such objection to their mutual satisfaction within a timeframe acceptable to Customer, Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate the Agreement and cancel the Services no later than 90 days after Customer’s receipt of the initial notice of engagement by notifying Front in writing of such termination and paying Front for all amounts due and owing under the Agreement as of the date of such termination. Such termination shall take effect on the first date as of which Front has received such timely notice and payment.

a. Compliance assistance. Taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Front, Front shall provide such information and assistance as Customer may reasonably request to enable Customer to perform its obligations under Data Protection Laws in relation to Front’s Processing of Customer Personal Data, including in relation to (i) the security of Customer Personal Data, (ii) the investigation and reporting of Personal Data Breaches, (iii) the demonstration of Front’s compliance with this DPA, and (iv) the performance of any data protection assessments and consultations with Supervisory Authorities or other government authorities regarding such assessments in relation to Front’s Processing of Customer Personal Data, including those required under Articles 35 and 36 of the GDPR.

Customer shall not conduct any scans or technical or operational testing of Front’s applications, websites, Services, networks, or systems without Front’s prior approval. Customer shall promptly provide Front with a copy of any report created by an independent auditor engaged by Customer in respect of such an audit. This Section 9 shall not be construed to require Front to violate a duty of confidentiality to any third party.

c. Audit reports. If the controls or measures to be assessed in the requested audit are assessed in an audit performed by a qualified and independent third-party auditor pursuant to a recognized audit control standard or framework within twelve (12) months of Customer’s audit request and Front has confirmed in writing that there have been no known material changes to the controls audited and covered by such audit, Customer agrees to accept the auditor’s report regarding such audit (“Audit Report”) in lieu of requiring an audit of such controls or measures. Such Audit Report and any other information obtained by Customer in connection with an audit under this Section 9 shall constitute confidential information of Front, which Customer shall use only for the purposes of confirming compliance with the requirements of this DPA or performing Customer’s obligations under Data Protection Laws. Front shall provide Customer with any relevant Audit Report upon Customer’s written request.

Upon expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement, Front shall return and/or delete all Customer Personal Data in Front’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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Front may retain Customer Personal Data where required by law (or in the case of Customer Personal Data subject to the GDPR, the laws of the UK or European Union, as applicable), provided that Front shall (a) maintain the confidentiality of all such Customer Personal Data and (b) Process the Customer Personal Data only as necessary for the purpose and duration specified in the applicable law requiring such retention.

a. Security. Customer is solely responsible for its use of the Services, including (i) making appropriate use of the Services to maintain a level of security appropriate to the risk posed to Customer Data; (ii) securing the account authentication credentials, systems and devices Customer or End Users use to access the Services; and (iii) backing up Customer Data.

b. Legal basis. Customer will not instruct Front to Process Customer Data in violation of Data Protection Laws. Front has no obligation to monitor the compliance of Customer’s use of the Service with Data Protection Laws. Customer shall ensure that (i) there is a valid legal basis for Front’s Processing of Customer Personal Data as contemplated by the Agreement for the purposes of Data Protection Laws and (ii) all notices have been given to, and all consents and permissions have been obtained from, Data Subjects and others as are required, including under Data Protection Laws, for Front to Process Customer Personal Data as contemplated by the Agreement.

c. Prohibited data. Customer acknowledges that the Services are not designed to comply with, and shall ensure that Customer Personal Data does not contain any “protected health information” as defined in, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

d. Additional assistance. If Customer requests cooperation, information or assistance pursuant to Sections 6, 9, or 10 of this DPA beyond Front’s provision of self-service features as part of the Services that Customer can use to obtain the requested cooperation, information or assistance, then Customer shall reimburse Front for any costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Front in the course of responding to such requests and Front reserves the right to charge its applicable fees for professional services required to fulfill such requests.

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between (a) this DPA and the Agreement, this DPA shall prevail or (b) any SCCs entered into pursuant to Annex 2 (Europe Annex) and any other provision of the Agreement, the SCCs shall prevail in respect of the Restricted Transfer to which they apply.

Annex 4 – Security Measures

Measures of pseudonymization and encryption

Customer Personal Data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. In transit, Front uses TLS 1.2 or greater for data encryption between Front and third parties, including customers. At rest, Front leverages its hosting subprocessor, Amazon Web Services (AWS) to store data, which allows for data to be encrypted at rest using RDS, EBS, and S3.

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) encrypts databases using keys that are managed using Front’s Amazon Key Management System (KMS). RDS encryption uses the industry standard AES-256 encryption algorithm to encrypt your data on the server that hosts your RDS instance.

Measures designed to protect ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services

Front encrypts Customer Personal Data and employs identity and access (both logical and physical) management designed to protect it.

Code changes undergo a second code review before deploying to production.

Access to Customer Personal Data is restricted and logged to prevent unauthorized data modification and corruption.

Utilizing multiple AWS Availability Zones. Front has a scalable architecture, with a number of parameters that can autoscale based on demand.

Measures for restoring the availability and access to Customer Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident

Front performs daily backups using an automated system in AWS. Datastores are retained for 7 days. Backup data is also stored in a separate AWS availability zone allowing recovery in the event of a physical or technical incident.

Front maintains a disaster recovery plan designed to facilitate an orderly and effective recovery. The plan is tested on an annual basis.

Processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures

Front undergoes an annual third-party penetration testing. In addition, Front undergoes an annual SOC 2 Type II audit performed by an independent third-party auditor to assess the suitability of the design and effectiveness of our controls.

Measures for user identification and authorisation

Front allows customers to enable multi-factor authentication. Front maintains a principle of least privilege on its business systems that Process Customer Personal Data and all uses of elevated privilege are logged. Front requires all production systems that Process Customer Personal Data to be accessed only with multi-factor authentication.

Measures for the protection of data during transmission

Please see "Measures of pseudonymization and encryption of personal data" above.

Measures for the protection of data during storage

Please see "Measures of pseudonymization and encryption of personal data" above.

Measures designed to protect physical security of locations at which Customer Personal Data are processed

Customer Personal Data is processed by our hosting subprocessor, Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS data center facilities are ISO 27001:2013 certified and undergo periodic SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 report audits. Certification status and the results of audits are reviewed periodically as part of Front monitoring controls and the vendor management process. Physical access to Front’s offices is strictly controlled with keycards and security guards at the building entrances.

Measures for events logging

System logging and monitoring software is used to collect data from system infrastructure components and endpoints, to monitor for potential security threats and vulnerabilities, and to detect unusual system activity or service requests. Front enables alerting when credentials for certain privileged systems are used.

Measures for system configuration, including default configuration

Infrastructure is virtualized with AWS. Our cloud infrastructure is deployed from Terraform templates. Changes to the system configuration and infrastructure must undergo peer review to guard against unauthorized changes.

Measures for internal IT and IT security governance and management

Front has an Information Security Management System (ISMS) committee that is responsible for security and compliance efforts internally. The ISMS committee meets quarterly to review strategic initiatives, assess key risk and threats to the company, and track progress on the remediation of risks identified during the annual internal risk assessment and third party penetration test.

The ISMS committee exercises oversight of security controls by reviewing the ISMS policy on an annual basis. In addition, the ISMS committee communicates security and compliance efforts to Front’s board of directors on a quarterly basis.

Measures for data minimization

Customers determine what Customer Data will be submitted to the Front Service. Front will inform the Customer if certain data must be provided.

Measures designed to enhance data quality

Customers are responsible for the data they elect to include in Customer Data. Customers can correct or complete data they deemed to be inaccurate or incomplete. Front implements access controls and logging for data systems designed to prevent possible data corruption.

Measures for ensuring limited data retention

Upon written request, customers can request their data to be deleted within the timeline specified in the Data Processing Addendum and in accordance with Data Protection Laws.

Measures for allowing data portability and ensuring erasure

Front allows Customers to obtain Customer Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Customers can ask Front to delete their Customer Data as described in the Data Processing Addendum and such requests generally will be processed within 30 days.
