We also may use a standard feature found in browser software called a “cookie” to enhance your experience with the Site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us deliver advertisements, identify how many unique users visit us, and track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the Site where you may have entered preference information before. The Site also may use web beacons (single-pixel graphic files also known as “transparent GIFs”) to access cookies and to count users who visit the Site or open HTML-formatted email messages.

We cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third-party use of such information.
Some of our third-party advertisers and ad servers that place and present advertising on the Site also may collect information from you via cookies, web beacons or similar technologies. These third-party advertisers and ad servers may use the information they collect to help present their advertisements, to help measure and research the advertisements’ effectiveness, or for other purposes. The use and collection of your information by these third-party advertisers and ad servers is governed by the relevant third-party’s privacy policy and is not covered by our Privacy Policy. Indeed, the privacy policies of these third-party advertisers and ad servers may be different from ours. If you have any concerns about a third party’s use of cookies or web beacons or use of your information, you should visit that party’s website and review its privacy policy.
The Site also includes links to other websites and provides access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we do not control.

We may also make some content, products and services available through our Site or by emailing messages to you through cooperative relationships with third-party providers, where the brands of our provider partner appear on the Site in connection with such content, products and/or services. We may share with our provider partner any information you provide, or that is collected, in the course of visiting any pages that are made available in cooperation with our provider partner. In some cases, the provider partner may collect information from you directly, in which cases the privacy policy of our provider partner may apply to the provider partner’s use of your information. The privacy policy of our provider partners may differ from ours. If you have any questions regarding the privacy policy of one of our provider partners, you should contact the provider partner directly for more information.

Processing of Client Personal Data.
In the context of this Addendum, the Client acts as a data Controller and Keap acts as a data Processor with regard to the Processing of Client Personal Data.
Keap warrants that it will: comply with all EU Data Protection Laws in the Processing of Client Personal Data; not Process Client Personal Data other than on the Client’s relevant documented instructions, including with regard to transfers of Personal Data to a Third Country or an international organization, unless such Processing is required by Applicable Laws to which the relevant Contracted Processor is subject, in which case Keap shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, inform the Client of that legal requirement before the respective act of Processing of that Personal Data; and only conduct transfers of Client Personal Data, where such transfer would be prohibited by Applicable Laws (and no exemption or derogation applies), in compliance with all applicable conditions, as laid down in the EU Data Protection Laws.
The Client must provide all applicable information requested in the form located in your Privacy and Compliance settings within your application. The Client warrants that it will promptly update, when necessary, all such information, and keep all such information complete and up to date.
The Client instructs Keap (and authorizes Keap to instruct each Subprocessor) to Process Client Personal Data, and in particular, transfer Client Personal Data to any country or territory, as reasonably necessary for the provision of the Services and consistent with the Service Agreement and this Addendum. In the event that in Keap’s opinion a Processing instruction given by the Client infringes Applicable Laws, Keap shall immediately inform the Client.
Keap Personnel.
Keap shall take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of any employee, agent, or contractor of any Contracted Processor who may have access to the Client Personal Data, ensuring in each case that access is strictly limited to those individuals who need to know or access the relevant Client Personal Data, as strictly necessary for the purposes of the Service Agreement, and to comply with Applicable Laws in the context of that individual’s duties to the Contracted Processor, ensuring that all such individuals are subject to formal confidentiality undertakings or professional or statutory obligations of confidentiality.
Security of Processing.
Taking 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 to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, Keap shall, with regard to Client Personal Data, implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to that risk, including, as appropriate, the measures referred to in Article 32(1) of the GDPR.
In assessing the appropriate level of security, Keap shall take account, in particular, of the risks that are presented by the nature of such Processing activities, and particularly those related to possible Personal Data Breaches.
Subprocessing.
The Client authorizes Keap to appoint (and to permit each Subprocessor appointed in accordance with this Section 6 to appoint) Subprocessors in accordance with this Section 6 and any possible further restrictions, as set out in the Service Agreement.
Keap may continue to use those Subprocessors already engaged by Keap as of the Addendum Date, subject to Keap meeting the obligations set out in Section 6.4 of this Addendum. The list of Keap Subprocessors is located at: https://www.keap.com/subprocessors Keap shall give the Client prior written notice of the appointment of any new Subprocessor, by way of updating the list of Keap Subprocessors, as indicated in Section 6.2. If within 7 days of posting of each such update, the Client does not explicitly notify Keap in writing of any objections (on reasonable grounds) to the proposed appointment, it shall be deemed that the Client has consented to the proposed appointment.
With respect to each Subprocessor, Keap shall:
- before the Subprocessor first Processes Client Personal Data (or, where relevant, in accordance with Section 6.2), carry out adequate due diligence to ensure that the Subprocessor is capable of providing the level of protection for Client Personal Data required by this Addendum, the Service Agreement, and Applicable Laws; and<
- ensure that the arrangement between Keap and any prospective Subprocessor or between the relevant intermediate Subprocessor and any prospective Subprocessor, as applicable, is governed by a written contract including terms which offer at least the same level of protection for Client Personal Data as those set out in this Addendum, and that such terms meet the requirements of Article 28(3) of the GDPR.
Rights of the Data Subjects.
Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Keap shall assist the Client by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as reasonably possible, for the fulfilment of the Client’s obligations, as reasonably understood by the Client, to respond to requests to exercise Rights of the Data Subjects under the Applicable Laws.
With regard to Rights of the Data Subjects within the scope of this Section 7, Keap shall:
- promptly notify the Client if any Contracted Processor receives a request from a Data Subject under any Data Protection Law in respect of Client Personal Data; and
- ensure that the Contracted Processor does not respond to that request except on the documented instructions of the Client, or as required by Applicable Laws to which the Contracted Processor is subject, in which case Keap shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, inform the Client of that legal requirement before the Contracted Processor responds to the request.
Personal Data Breach.
Keap shall notify the Client without undue delay upon Keap or any Subprocessor becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Client Personal Data, providing the Client with sufficient information to allow the Client to meet any obligations pursuant to the Applicable Laws to report to the Supervisory Authorities or any other competent authorities, and/or inform the Data Subjects of the Personal Data Breach.
Keap shall cooperate with the Client and take all reasonable commercial steps to assist the Client in the investigation, mitigation, and remediation of each such Personal Data Breach.
Keap’s notification of or response to a Personal Data Breach under this Section 8 will not be construed as an acknowledgement by Keap of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach.
Data Protection Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation.
Keap shall provide the Client with relevant documentation, such as a PCI audit certification (upon written request and subject to obligations of confidentiality), with regard to any data protection impact assessments, and prior consultations with Supervisory Authorities or other competent data privacy authorities, when the Client reasonably considers that such data protection impact assessments or prior consultations are required pursuant to Article 35 or 36 of the GDPR or pursuant to the equivalent provisions of any other law, but in each such case solely with regard to Processing of Client Personal Data by, and taking into account the nature of the Processing and information available to, the respective Contracted Processors.
Deletion or Return of Client Personal Data.
Keap shall provide the Client with the technical means, consistent with the manner in which the applicable Services are provided, to request the deletion of Client Personal Data within the term of this Addendum and the Service Agreement, unless Applicable Laws require or allow storage of any such Client Personal Data.
Promptly following the date of cessation of Services involving the Processing of Client Personal Data, at the choice of the Client, Keap shall delete or return all Client Personal Data to the Client, as well as delete existing copies, unless Applicable Laws require or allow storage of any such Client Personal Data.
Audit Rights.
Where the Client is entitled to and desires to review Keap’s compliance with the EU Data Protection Laws, the Client may request, and Keap will provide (subject to obligations of confidentiality)Keap’s annual PCI audit certification, VeraSafe Privacy Program audit report, or other substantially similar audit report. If the Client, after having reviewed such audit report(s), still reasonably deems that it requires additional information, Keap shall further reasonably assist and make available to the Client, upon a written request and subject to obligations of confidentiality, all other information and/or documentation necessary to demonstrate compliance with this Addendum, and the obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR in particular, and shall allow for and contribute to audits, including remote inspections of the Services, by the Client or an auditor mandated by the Client with regard to the Processing of the Client Personal Data by the Contracted Processors. Keap shall provide the assistance described in this Section 11, insofar as in Keap’s reasonable opinion such audits, and the specific requests of the Client, do not interfere with Keap’s business operations or cause Keap to breach any legal or contractual obligation to which it is subject.
The Client agrees to pay Keap, upon receipt of invoice, a reasonable fee based on the time spent, as well as to account for the materials expended, in relation to the Client exercising its rights under this Section 11.
Restricted Transfers.
The Client (as “data exporter”) and Keap (as “data importer”) hereby enter into, as of the Addendum Date, the Standard Contractual Clauses (as set out in Exhibit B), which are incorporated by this reference and constitute an integral part of this Addendum. The Parties are deemed to have accepted and executed the Standard Contractual Clauses in their entirety, including the appendices.
With regard to any Restricted Transfer from the Client to Keap within the scope of this Addendum, one of the following transfer mechanisms shall apply, in the following order of precedence:
Keap’s EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework self-certifications (if any); the Standard Contractual Clauses; or any other lawful basis, as laid down in Applicable Laws, as the case may be.
In cases where the Standard Contractual Clauses apply, and there is a conflict between the terms of the Addendum and the terms of the Standard Contractual Clauses, the terms of the Standard Contractual Clauses shall control.
General Terms.
All clauses of the Service Agreement, that are not explicitly amended or supplemented by the clauses of this Addendum, and as long as this does not contradict with compulsory requirements of Applicable Laws under this Addendum, remain in full force and effect and shall apply.
Keap may amend the terms of this DPA upon notice to the Client by email to the primary contact on the account. Any such amendments will automatically become effective within 10 days as of Keap’s transmission of such notice.
Should any provision of this Addendum be found invalid or unenforceable pursuant to any applicable law, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Addendum will continue in effect.
If Keap makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligations in accordance with this Addendum, it shall promptly notify the Client of that determination, and cease the Processing or take other reasonable and appropriate steps to remediate.

Where the subprocessor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor’s obligations under such agreement.
The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
