Exhibit 1

DATA PROCESSING ADDENDUM

This Data Processing Addendum (the “Addendum”) is made by and between FrontApp, Inc. (“FrontApp”) with registered office in 525 Brennan St, 300, San Francisco, CA 94107, and “Customer”.

This Addendum is incorporated into FrontApp Terms of Service (“Agreement”) and applies in respect of the provision of the Services to the Customer if the Processing of Customer Personal Data (as defined below) is subject to the GDPR, only to the extent the Customer is a Controller of Customer Personal Data and FrontApp is a Processor. The Addendum is intended to satisfy the requirements of Article 28(3) of the GDPR and, prior to the date on which the GDPR takes effect, the requirements of Article 17(3) of the EU Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC). This Addendum shall be effective for the term of the Agreement.

1. Definitions

1.1. For the purposes of the Addendum:

1.1.1. "Customer Personal Data" means the Personal Data described under Annex 1 of this Addendum, in respect of which the Customer is the Controller;

1.1.3. “GDPR” means the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data; and

1.2. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Agreement.

2. Processing of Customer Personal Data

2.1. The parties acknowledge and agree that Customer is the Controller of Customer Personal Data and FrontApp is the Processor of that data. FrontApp will only Process Customer Personal Data as a Processor on behalf of and in accordance with the Customer’s prior written instructions and for no other purpose. FrontApp is hereby instructed to Process Customer Personal Data to the extent necessary to enable FrontApp to provide the Services in accordance with the Agreement.

2.2. If FrontApp cannot process Customer Personal Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions due to a legal requirement under any applicable European Union or Member State law, FrontApp will (i) promptly notify the Customer of such inability, providing a reasonable level of detail as to the instructions with which it cannot comply and the reasons why it cannot comply, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law; and (ii) cease all Processing of the affected Customer Personal Data (other than merely storing and maintaining the security of the affected Customer Personal Data) until such time as the Customer issues new instructions with which FrontApp is able to comply. If this provision is invoked, FrontApp will not be liable to the Customer under the Agreement for failure to perform the Services until such time as the Customer issues new instructions. FrontApp will immediately inform Customer if, in its opinion, an instruction from Customer infringes the Data Protection Legislation.

2.3 Each of the Customer and FrontApp will comply with their respective obligations under the Data Protection Legislation. Customer shall ensure that Customer has informed its data subjects and obtained (or will obtain) all rights and consents (if required by the applicable Data Protection Legislation) to allow FrontApp to Process Customer Personal Data to provide the Services in accordance with this Addendum and the Agreement.

2.4. In connection with the performance of the Agreement, Customer authorizes FrontApp to transfer Customer Personal Data from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to the United States. FrontApp has certified to the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks as administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce and commits to comply with its obligations for the Customer Personal Data transferred under the Privacy Shield throughout the term of this Addendum.

4. Security Measures

4.1. FrontApp will implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Customer Personal Data.

4.2. FrontApp will, at the Customer’s request and subject to the Customer paying all of FrontApp’s fees at prevailing rates, and all expenses, provide the Customer with reasonable assistance as necessary for the fulfilment of the Customer’s obligation to keep Customer Personal Data secure.

5. Sub-Processing

5.1. Customer authorizes FrontApp to appoint sub-Processors to perform specific services on FrontApp’s behalf which may require such sub-Processors to Process Customer Personal Data. If FrontApp engages a sub-Processor to Process any Customer Personal Data, it will:

  • inform Customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of such sub-Processors and Customer will have an opportunity to object to such changes on reasonable grounds within thirty (30) calendar days after being notified. If the parties are unable to resolve such objection, either party may terminate the agreement by providing written notice to the other party; and

  • enter into a binding written agreement with the sub-Processor that imposes on the sub-Processor the same obligations that apply to FrontApp under this Addendum. Where any of its sub- Processors fails to fulfil its data protection obligations, FrontApp will be liable to the Customer for the performance of its sub-Processors’ obligations.

6. Data Subject Rights

6.1. FrontApp will, at the Customer’s request and subject to the Customer paying all of FrontApp’s fees at prevailing rates, and all expenses, provide the Customer with assistance necessary for the fulfilment of the Customer’s obligation to respond to requests for the exercise of Data Subjects’ rights. FrontApp shall not respond to such requests without Customer’s prior written consent and written instructions. Customer shall be solely responsible for responding to such requests.

7. Personal Data Breaches

7.1. FrontApp will notify the Customer as soon as practicable after it becomes aware of any of any Personal Data Breach affecting any Customer Personal Data. At the Customer’s request and subject to the Customer paying all of FrontApp’s fees at prevailing rates, and all expenses, FrontApp will promptly provide the Customer with all reasonable assistance necessary to enable the Customer to notify relevant security breaches to the competent data protection authorities and/or affected Data Subjects, if Customer is required to do so under the GDPR. Customer is solely responsible for complying with data incident notification requirements applicable to Customer and fulfilling any third-party notification obligations related to any data incidents.

8. Data Protection Impact Assessment; Prior Consultation

8.1. FrontApp will, at the Customer’s request and subject to the Customer paying all of FrontApp’s fees at prevailing rates, and all expenses, provide the Customer with reasonable assistance to facilitate:

  • conduction of data protection impact assessments if the Customer is required to do so under the GDPR; and

  • consultation with data protection authorities, if the Customer is required to engage in consultation under the GDPR,

in each case solely to the extent that such assistance is necessary and relates to the Processing by FrontApp of the Customer Personal Data, taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to FrontApp.

9. Deletion of Customer Personal Data

9.1. FrontApp will return or delete, at Customer’s choice, Customer Personal Data to the Customer after the end of the provision of Services relating to the Processing, and delete existing copies unless the applicable European Union or member state law requires storage of the data.

10. Information

10.1. FrontApp will, at Customer’s request and subject to the Customer paying all of FrontApp’s fees at prevailing rates, and all expenses, provide the Customer with all information necessary to enable the Customer to demonstrate compliance with its obligations under the GDPR, and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the Customer or an auditor mandated by the Customer, to the extent that such information is within FrontApp’s control and FrontApp is not precluded from disclosing it by applicable law, a duty of confidentiality, or any other obligation owed to a third party, and provided that such audits shall be carried out with reasonable notice during regular business hours not more often than once per year.

Consequently FrontApp will not be liable under the Agreement for any claim brought by a Data Subject arising from any action or omission by FrontApp, to the extent that such action or omission resulted directly from the Customer’s instructions or from Customer’s failure to comply with its obligations under the applicable data protection law.

12. General Provisions
