Roles of the Parties
2.1 With respect to Customer Personal Data, Customer is the Controller or Business, and Dialfyne is the Processor or Service Provider, as applicable.
2.2 If Customer acts as a Processor for a third-party controller, Customer represents that its instructions to Dialfyne have been authorized by that controller.
2.3 Dialfyne acts as a Controller for its own website, billing, security, and product-improvement activities described in the Privacy Policy. Those activities are outside this Addendum except where they Process Customer Personal Data on Customer's documented instructions.
Processing of Customer Personal Data
3.1 Processor shall Process Customer Personal Data only on documented instructions from Controller, including the Agreement, this Addendum, and Controller's use and configuration of the Services, unless required by applicable law. Processor shall inform Controller of that legal requirement before Processing unless the law prohibits notice.
3.2 Processor shall Process Customer Personal Data only for the limited purposes necessary to provide the Services, to perform the Agreement and this Addendum, and as otherwise permitted by Data Protection Laws.
3.3 To the extent Processor Processes Personal Information subject to the CCPA, Processor shall: (a) Process it only for the business purposes described in the Agreement and this Addendum; (b) not sell or share it (as defined under the CCPA); (c) not retain, use, or disclose it except for those purposes, except as permitted by the CCPA; (d) not retain, use, or disclose it outside the direct business relationship except as permitted by the CCPA; and (e) not combine it with Personal Information from another person or from Processor's own interaction with a consumer, except as permitted by the CCPA. Processor certifies that it understands these restrictions.
3.4 Processor shall not use Customer Personal Data to train third-party generative artificial intelligence models. Processor may create and use Aggregated Data in accordance with the Agreement. Aggregated Data is not Customer Personal Data for purposes of this Addendum.
3.5 Controller shall not submit Sensitive Personal Data to the Services without Processor's prior written consent, except incidental voice content that may arise on a sales call without Controller intending to collect special-category data.
3.6 If Processor receives a Data Subject Request relating to Customer Personal Data, Processor shall promptly notify Controller and shall not respond except on Controller's documented instructions or as required by law.
3.7 If Processor believes an instruction infringes Data Protection Laws, Processor shall promptly inform Controller.
Confidentiality and Personnel
4.1 Processor shall ensure that personnel authorized to Process Customer Personal Data are subject to a contractual, professional, or statutory duty of confidentiality.
4.2 Access to Customer Personal Data is limited to personnel who need it to perform the Agreement and this Addendum.
Security Measures
5.1 Processor shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect Customer Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access, taking into account the state of the art, cost, nature, scope, context, purposes, and risk. Those measures are described in Annex 2.
5.2 Processor shall regularly review and, where appropriate, update those measures.
Personal Data Breach Notification
6.1 Processor shall notify Controller without undue delay, and in any event no later than seventy-two (72) hours after becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data.
6.2 Notification shall include, to the extent available: (a) a description of the nature of the breach; (b) a contact point; and (c) measures taken or proposed, including mitigation.
6.3 Processor shall promptly provide further information and assistance Controller reasonably requires in connection with a Personal Data Breach.
Authorized Sub-Processors
7.1 Controller provides a general written authorization for Processor to engage Sub-Processors.
7.2 A current list is maintained at dialfyne.com/subprocessors (the "Sub-Processor List").
7.3 Processor shall notify Controller of additions or replacements by updating the Sub-Processor List. Customers who wish to receive email notice may request it at [email protected].
7.4 Controller may object in writing within fourteen (14) days on documented, reasonable grounds relating to a Sub-Processor's inability to comply with Data Protection Laws or this Addendum.
7.5 If Controller objects, the parties shall work in good faith for thirty (30) days to find a workaround. If none is reached, Processor may refrain from using the Sub-Processor for Controller's Customer Personal Data, or permit Controller to terminate the affected Service as its sole and exclusive remedy.
Sub-Processor Obligations
8.1 Processor will enter into a written agreement with each Sub-Processor containing data-protection obligations no less protective than those in this Addendum, including appropriate security measures.
8.2 Processor remains liable to Controller for the Sub-Processor's performance of those obligations to the extent required by Data Protection Laws.
Assistance with Data Subject Rights, DPIAs, and Legal Requests
9.1 Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Processor shall provide reasonable assistance to Controller for Data Subject Requests.
9.2 Taking into account the nature of the Processing and information available to Processor, Processor shall provide reasonable assistance with DPIAs, prior consultations, and similar assessments where required.
9.3 Unless prohibited by law, Processor shall promptly notify Controller if Processor receives a legally binding government request for disclosure of Customer Personal Data before making such disclosure.
Audit and Demonstration of Compliance
10.1 Processor shall make available to Controller, upon reasonable written request, information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this Addendum.
10.2 Subject to confidentiality and appropriate safeguards, and only to the extent Processor's then-current documentation (including reports from infrastructure providers such as SOC 2 Type II reports for those providers) does not reasonably satisfy Controller, Processor shall allow reasonable audits by Controller or an independent auditor, provided that: (a) Controller gives at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice; (b) audits occur no more than once per calendar year unless required by a competent authority or following a confirmed Personal Data Breach; (c) audits occur during normal business hours and minimize disruption; and (d) Controller bears its own costs and reimburses Processor's reasonable costs, except where the audit reveals a material breach of this Addendum by Processor.
Dialfyne itself is not currently SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified. Processor does not represent otherwise.
Return and Deletion of Customer Personal Data
11.1 Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, Processor shall, at Controller's written request, delete or return Customer Personal Data promptly, unless applicable law requires retention. This Section does not apply to Aggregated Data.
11.2 Where law requires retention, Processor shall continue to protect such Customer Personal Data in accordance with this Addendum and shall not Process it except to comply with that legal obligation.
International Data Transfers
12.1 Processor is established in the United States. Processor does not currently rely on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. For transfers of Customer Personal Data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to a country without an Adequacy Decision, the transfer mechanisms in this Section apply.
12.2 For GDPR transfers from the EEA, the SCCs are incorporated by reference: (a) Module Two (Controller to Processor) applies, or Module Three where Customer is itself a Processor; (b) the optional docking clause in Clause 7 applies; (c) in Clause 9, Option 2 applies, with fourteen (14) days' prior notice of Sub-Processor changes; (d) in Clause 11, the optional language does not apply; (e) in Clause 17, Option 1 applies and the SCCs are governed by the laws of Ireland; (f) in Clause 18(b), disputes are resolved before the courts of Ireland; (g) Annex I is deemed completed with Annex 1 of this Addendum; (h) Annex II is deemed completed with Annex 2 of this Addendum.
12.3 For UK GDPR transfers, the SCCs as modified by the UK Addendum are incorporated. Tables and appendices are deemed completed using Annex 1 and Annex 2.
12.4 For Swiss transfers, the SCCs apply with references to the GDPR read as references to the Swiss FADP; "EU," "Union," and "Member State" include Switzerland; the competent Supervisory Authority is the FDPIC; and data subjects in Switzerland may enforce rights in Switzerland as required by Swiss law.
Term and Termination
13.1 This Addendum remains in effect for so long as Processor Processes Customer Personal Data on behalf of Controller under the Agreement.
13.2 Obligations that by their nature should survive (confidentiality, return or deletion, liability, international transfers, and audit) survive.
Liability
14.1 Each party is liable for damages caused by its breach of this Addendum to the extent provided by applicable law and the Agreement.

General
15.1 If this Addendum conflicts with the Agreement on the subject matter of this Addendum, this Addendum prevails.
15.2 Dialfyne may update this Addendum by posting an updated version at this URL, provided that no update will materially reduce the level of protection for Customer Personal Data during the then-current subscription term unless required to comply with Data Protection Laws. The version in effect as of the effective date of the applicable Order Form applies to that Order Form unless the parties agree otherwise or law requires the updated version.
15.3 This Addendum is governed by the governing law and jurisdiction in the Agreement, except as required by the SCCs or UK Addendum for international transfers.
