Processing of Personal Data.
Vendor shall only process Personal Data (i) on behalf of Customer for the limited and specific purpose of performing the Services as further described in Annex 1, and in accordance with and for the purposes set out in the documented instructions from Customer from time to time, and (ii) at all times in compliance with Privacy Laws and the terms of the Agreement, unless required to process such Personal Data by applicable law to which Vendor is subject;

Vendor shall require that each employee or other person processing Personal Data is subject to an appropriate duty of confidentiality with respect to such Personal Data in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Prohibitions. To the extent required by applicable Privacy Laws, Vendor is prohibited from:
selling the Personal Data;
sharing the Personal Data for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes;
retaining, using, or disclosing the Personal Data for any purpose other than for the specific purpose of performing the Services;
retaining, using, or disclosing the Personal Data outside of the direct business relationship between Vendor and Customer; and
combining the Personal Data received from, or on behalf of, Customer with any Personal Data that may be collected from Vendor’s separate interactions with the individual(s) to whom the Personal Data relates or from any other sources, except to perform a business purpose or as otherwise permitted by Privacy Laws.
Use of Subcontractors. To the extent Vendor engages any subcontractors to process Personal Data on its behalf:
Customer hereby grants Vendor general written authorization to engage the subcontractors set out in Annex 2, subject to the requirements of this Section 8.
If Vendor appoints a new subcontractor or intends to make any changes concerning the addition or replacement of any subcontractor, it shall provide Customer with 20 business days’ prior written notice by posting updates [
here], during which Customer can object to the appointment or replacement on reasonable and documented grounds related to the confidentiality or security of Personal Data or the subcontractor’s compliance with Privacy Laws (and if Customer does not so object, Vendor may proceed with the appointment or replacement).
Vendor shall engage subcontractors only pursuant to a written agreement that contains obligations on the subcontractor which are no less onerous on the relevant subcontractor than the obligations on Vendor under this DPA.
Assistance. To the extent required by Privacy Laws, and taking into account the nature of the processing, Vendor shall, in relation to the processing of Personal Data and to enable Customer to comply with its obligations which arise as a result thereof, provide reasonable assistance to Customer, through appropriate technical and organizational measures, in:
responding to requests from individuals pursuant to their rights under Privacy Laws, including by providing, deleting or correcting the relevant Personal Data, or by enabling Customer to do the same, insofar as this is possible;
implementing reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the Personal Data to protect the Personal Data from unauthorized or illegal access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure;
notifying relevant competent authorities and/or affected individuals of Personal Data breaches;
conducting data protection impact assessments and, if required, prior consultation with relevant competent authorities; and
entering into this DPA.
Security Measures. Vendor shall, taking into account the state-of-the-art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing, implement, and ensure that its authorized personnel comply with, appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk, as set out in Annex 3, or otherwise agreed and documented between Customer and Vendor from time to time. To the extent required by Privacy Laws, Vendor shall without undue delay notify Customer in writing of any breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data, with further information about the breach provided in phases as more details become available.
Access and Audits. Upon reasonable request of Customer, Vendor shall make available to Customer such information in its possession as is reasonably necessary to demonstrate Vendor’s compliance with its obligations under this DPA, and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by Customer or another auditor mandated by Customer and reasonably accepted by Vendor. Customer shall be permitted to conduct such an assessment no more than once every 12 months, upon 30 days’ advance written notice to Vendor, and only after the Parties come to agreement on the scope of the audit and the auditor is bound by a duty of confidentiality. As an alternative to an audit performed by or at the direction of Customer, to the extent permitted by Privacy Laws, Vendor may arrange for a qualified and independent auditor to conduct, at Vendor’s expense, an assessment of Vendor’s policies and technical and organizational measures in support of its obligations under Privacy Laws using an appropriate and accepted control standard or framework and assessment procedure for such assessment, and will provide a report of such assessment to Customer upon reasonable request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Vendor be required to give Customer access to information, facilities or systems to the extent doing so would cause Vendor to be in violation of confidentiality obligations owed to other customers or its legal obligations.
Deletion of Personal Data. At Customer’s written direction, Vendor shall delete or return all Personal Data to Customer as requested at the end of the provision of the Services, unless retention of the Personal Data is required by law.
Data Transfers. To the extent Vendor processes Personal Data subject to EU/UK Privacy Laws in a Third Country, and it is acting as data importer, Vendor shall comply with the data importer’s obligations and Customer shall comply with the data exporter’s obligations set out in the Controller to Processor Clauses, which are hereby incorporated into and form part of this DPA, and:

ANNEX 3 - Security measures
Maven | Data, Privacy, and Security
At Maven, we prioritize enterprise-grade security as an essential component of our mission to provide exceptional service to our clients. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy, security, and integrity of user data throughout our platform.
Sensitive Data
Sensitive Data refers to any information that can be used to identify an individual, either directly or indirectly, by combining it with other relevant data. Examples of Sensitive Data include social tax identifiers, credit card numbers, debit card numbers, banking details, passport numbers, drivers license numbers, ip addresses and phone numbers.
To protect our users' privacy, Maven implements the following measures:
Sensitive Data Scrubbing at Point of Ingestion: Maven diligently scrubs all Sensitive Data during the creation of the Knowledge Graph and prior to sending any information to external APIs, such as Azure. This process ensures that users' sensitive information remains secure and is not inadvertently disclosed to third parties.
No External Model Training: Maven does not use user data for the purpose of training, retraining, or improving the Foundation models or APIs utilized within our platform. This policy ensures that our users' private information remains secure and is not exploited for purposes beyond the scope of the services we provide.
Data Retention and Deletion: Maven adheres to strict data retention policies, ensuring that users' personal data is stored only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Upon request or when data is no longer required, we promptly delete it from our systems in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Continuous Monitoring and Improvement: Maven continuously monitors its data privacy and security policies, implementing improvements and updates as needed to ensure the highest level of protection for our users' data. We strive to stay at the forefront of industry best practices and evolving legal requirements to maintain the trust and confidence of our clients.
By implementing these measures, Maven is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of data privacy and security, enabling our users to benefit from our services.
