Effective Date: June 24, 2024
This Data Privacy Addendum (“DPA”) is incorporated into and forms part of (and if applicable, amends the current version of) the Agreement (as defined below) between mmhmm inc. (“mmhmm”), and the party to which mmhmm is providing the Service (as defined in the Agreement) (“Client”), each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties.” To the extent of any conflict, this DPA applies to and takes precedence over the agreement between the Parties and any associated contractual document between the Parties, including the applicable mmhmm Terms of Service, mmhmm for Teams Agreement, order form and/or statement of work (collectively, the “Agreement”) with regard to the subject matter herein.
In the course of providing the Service to Client pursuant to the Agreement, mmhmm may Process Personal Data on Client’s behalf and the Parties agree to comply with the following provisions with respect to any Personal Data, each acting reasonably and in good faith. This DPA shall be deemed to be signed by mmhmm and Client upon Client’s entering into the Agreement (in accordance with its terms).
1. Definitions.
For purposes of this DPA:
a. “Data Privacy Laws” means all applicable laws and regulations in any jurisdiction relating to privacy, data protection, data security, breach notification, or the Processing of personal data, including without limitation, to the extent applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq., including its regulations and the amendments made by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA”), privacy laws passed by other U.S. states (together with the CCPA, “U.S. State Privacy Laws”), the General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), the United Kingdom Data Protection Act of 2018 (“UK Privacy Act”), and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“FADP”). For the avoidance of doubt, if mmhmm’s Processing activities involving Personal Data are not within the scope of a given Data Privacy Law, such law is not applicable for purposes of this DPA.
b. “Data Subject” means an identified or identifiable natural person to whom Personal Data relates, and includes “consumer” as defined in Data Privacy Laws.

e. “Process” and its cognates “Processing,” “Processed,” etc. mean any operation or set of operations performed on Personal Data or on sets of Personal Data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, creating, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
f. “Security Breach” means any accidental or unlawful acquisition, destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data.
g. “Subprocessor” means any third party or mmhmm affiliate that mmhmm engages to Process Personal Data.

6. Subprocessors
a. Client acknowledges and agrees that mmhmm may use Subprocessors to Process Personal Data in accordance with the provisions in this DPA and Data Privacy Laws. Where mmhmm subcontracts any of its rights or obligations concerning Personal Data to a Subprocessor, mmhmm will: (i) take steps to select and retain Subprocessors that are capable of maintaining appropriate privacy and security measures to protect Personal Data consistent with applicable Data Privacy Laws; and (ii) require that each Subprocessor complies with obligations that are no less restrictive than those imposed on mmhmm under this DPA.

Exhibit A
mmhmm DATA SECURITY MEASURES
If mmhmm Processes Personal Data, mmhmm will implement and maintain the following administrative, technical, physical, and organizational security measures for the Processing of Personal Data:
mmhmm’s Information Security Program includes specific security requirements for its personnel and all subcontractors or agents who have access to Personal Data (“Data Personnel”). mmhmm’s security requirements covers the following areas:
1. Information Security Policies and Standards
mmhmm will maintain written information security policies, standards, and procedures. These policies, standards, and procedures shall be kept up to date, and revised whenever relevant changes are made to the information systems that use or store Personal Data. These policies, standards, and procedures shall be designed and implemented to:
a. Prevent unauthorized persons from gaining physical access to Personal Data Processing systems (e.g. physical access controls);
b. Designate one or more employees, or competent subcontractors, to coordinate the Information Security Program;
c. Prevent Personal Data Processing systems from being used without authorization (e.g. logical access control);
d. Ensure that Data Personnel gain access only to such Personal Data as they are entitled to access (e.g. in accordance with their access rights) and that Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified or deleted without authorization (e.g. data access controls);
e. Ensure that Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified or deleted without authorization during electronic transmission, transport or storage, and that the recipients of any transfer of Personal Data by means of data transmission facilities can be established and verified (e.g. data transfer controls);
f. Ensure that all systems that Process Personal Data are the subject of a vulnerability management program that includes regular internal and external vulnerability scanning with risk rating findings and formal remediation plans to address any identified vulnerabilities;
g. Ensure that Personal Data is encrypted while in transit between Client and mmhmm and its Sub-Processors; and
h. Ensure that Personal Data is encrypted at rest at mmhmm and its Subrocessors.
2. Physical Security
mmhmm will maintain commercially reasonable security systems at all mmhmm sites at which an information system that uses or stores Personal Data is located (“Processing Locations”) that include reasonably restricting access to such Processing Locations, and implementing measures to detect, prevent, and respond to intrusions.
3. Organizational Security
mmhmm will maintain information security policies and procedures addressing:
a. Data Disposal. Procedures for when media are to be disposed or reused have been implemented to prevent any subsequent retrieval of any Personal Data stored on media before they are withdrawn from the mmhmm’s inventory or control.
b. Data Minimization. Procedures for when media are to leave the premises at which the files are located as a result of maintenance operations have been implemented to prevent undue retrieval of Personal Data stored on media.
c. Data Classification. Policies and procedures to classify sensitive information assets, clarify security responsibilities, and promote awareness for all employees have been implemented and are maintained.
d. Incident Response. All Security Breaches are managed in accordance with appropriate incident response and remediation procedures.
4. Network Security
mmhmm maintains commercially reasonable information security policies and procedures addressing network security.
5. Access Control (Governance)
a. mmhmm governs access to information systems that Process Personal Data.
b. Only authorized mmhmm staff can grant, modify, or revoke access to an information system that Processes Personal Data.
c. mmhmm implements commercially reasonable physical and technical safeguards to create and protect passwords.
6. Virus and Malware Controls
mmhmm protects Personal Data from malicious code and will install and maintain anti-virus and malware protection software on any system commonly susceptible to malware that handles Personal Data.

7. Personnel
a. mmhmm has implemented and maintains a security awareness program to train all employees about their security obligations. This program includes training about data classification obligations, physical security controls, security practices, and Security Breach reporting.
b. Data Personnel strictly follow established security policies and procedures. Disciplinary process is applied if Data Personnel fail to adhere to relevant policies and procedures.
c. mmhmm shall take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of any employee, agent or contractor who may Process Personal Data.
8. Business Continuity
mmhmm implements disaster recovery and business resumption plans. Business continuity plans are tested and updated regularly to ensure that they are up to date and effective.mmhmm shall also adjust its Information Security Program in light of new laws and circumstances, including as mmhmm’s business and Processing change.
