In connection with its Processing of Controller Personal Data, Processor shall not be required to comply with or observe Controller’s instructions if, in its reasonable discretion, such instructions would violate any Data Protections Laws and regulations, and Sapience shall promptly notify Controller of such. This DPA, the Agreement, and Customer’s use of the Services, features and functionality, are Customer’s complete set of instructions to Sapience in relation to the processing of Personal Data.

Business Contact Data. Processor shall also comply with all applicable laws and Processor’s privacy policy with respect to the Processing of Business Contact Data and use Business Contact Data only for legitimate business purposes, including, without limitation, for invoicing, collections, service usage monitoring and optimization, service improvements, maintenance, support, communications relating to contract renewals (directly or through a subprocessor acting on Processor’s behalf or a Processor approved reseller for contract renewal purposes) and information about new and additional services.

Internal Audits. Upon written request, Processor shall provide, if available, any data security compliance reports or audit reports that assess the effectiveness of Processor’s information security program, system(s), internal controls, and procedures relating to the Processing of Personal Data.

Controller Audits. Certain information about Processor’s security standards and practices are sensitive confidential information which will not be disclosed by Processor to Controller. Upon request, Processor agrees to respond, no more than once per year, to a reasonable information security questionnaire concerning security practices specific to the Services provided hereunder. Upon reasonable advance written notice in no case fewer than five (5) business days and Processor acceptance, Controller may, not more than once per year, during normal business hours and at its own expense, inspect Processor’s facilities, networks and procedures directly related to the processing of Controller Personal Data in order to determine compliance with this DPA. Processor shall reasonably cooperate with such audit by providing access to knowledgeable personnel, physical premises as applicable, documentation, infrastructure, and any application software that Processes Controller Personal Data. Controller shall be responsible for its costs and expenses of such audit. Processor will promptly address and correct any deficiencies identified in any such audit.

Requests or Demands from Governmental or Regulatory Bodies. Processor shall inform Controller as soon as possible if it receives a request or demand from a governmental or regulatory body with authority over Processor or Controller relating to Processor’s Processing of Controller Personal Data and shall fully cooperate with Controller in connection with such investigation or audit.

Data Subject Rights. If Processor receives a request from a Data Subject relating to their Controller Personal Data, Processor shall immediately forward the request to Controller and provide all reasonable cooperation necessary to fulfill the Data Subject’s request in compliance with applicable laws.

Cross Border Transfers. To the extent that Processor Processes the Personal Data of Data Subjects in, or in relation to services provided in the European Economic Area (EEA) in connection with its performance of the Services and such Personal Data is transferred outside of the EEA, the Parties hereby incorporate, and Processor agrees to comply with the Standard Contractual Clauses found in Annex IV that are approved by the European Commission for data transfers to processors that are current at the time of the data transfer.

Subprocessors.

Prior written consent. By executing this DPA, Controller has given its general written consent and authorization for Sapience to engage Subprocessors in connection with the Services. Controller may request a copy of such agreement between Processor and any Subprocessor and may withhold consent to the use of such Subprocessor if Processor does not provide such agreement or such agreement does not contain sufficient protection of Controller Personal Data. A current list of Subprocessors is found at https://d824jnzl62zcj.cloudfront.net/subprocessors/, such link may be updated by Sapience from time to time.

Onward Transfer of Personal Data. Any transfer by Processor of Personal Data to a Data Sub-processor will be governed by a written contract providing that the Subprocessor will process Personal Data in accordance with Sapience’s instructions as required by Data Protection Laws.

Appointment of new Data Sub-processors. Sapience may not transfer Personal Data to any other Subprocessor without providing prior written notice to Controller, provided that Controller will have ten (10) business day to reasonably object that such change causes Controller to be in violation of Data Protection Laws. In the even that Controller has not provided an objection to such changes within ten (10 ) business days, Controller will be deemed to have waived its right to object and to have consented to the use of the new or alternative Subprocessor. In the event that Controller reasonably objects to such change, Sapience shall, in its discretion, use commercially reasonable efforts to (1) offer an alternative to provide the Service to Controller per the Agreement; (2) take the corrective steps requested by Controller in its objection and proceed to use the new Subprocessor; or (3) cancel its plans to use the Subprocessor. If Sapience is unable or unwilling to achieve either (1)-(3) in its sole discretion and the objection has not been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties within thirty (30) days from the receipt by Sapience of the objection, Controller may, as its sole and exclusive remedy available under this paragraph, terminate its applicable services under the Agreement with respect only to those aspects of the Service which cannot be provided by Sapience without the use of the new Subprocessor. In such event, Sapience shall refund Controller any unused, prepaid fees for the applicable Service covering the remainder of the subscription term after the date of termination.

Liability. Processor is responsible for all acts of the Subprocessors with respect to processing Customer data.

ANNEX IV – TRANSFER IMPACT ASSESSMENT

In light of the “Schrems II” ruling of the Court of Justice for the European Union and the recommendations from the European Data Protection Board, Sapience Analytics Corporation has included this Annex to describes the legal regimes applicable to Sapience Analytics Corporation in the US, the safeguards Sapience Analytics Corporation puts in place in connection with transfers of customer personal data from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom or Switzerland (“Europe”), and Sapience Analytics Corporation’s ability to comply with its obligations as “data importer” under the Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”).

Data Transfers

Where Sapience Analytics Corporation processes personal data governed by European data protection laws as a data processor (on behalf of Sapience Analytics Corporation’s customers), Sapience complies with its obligations under its Data Processing Addendum available at Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”). The DPA provides the description of Sapience Analytics Corporation’s processing of customer personal data.

A list of all of Sapience Analytics Corporation’s data sub-processors is available at https://sapienceanalytics.com/subprocessors/ and in Annex III.

Sapience Analytics imports data from data exporter outlined in Annex I to its Microsoft Azure Data Center located in the United States of America.

Transfer Mechanism

Sapience Analytics Corporation relies upon the European Commission’s SCCs to provide an appropriate safeguard for the transfer of personal data originating from Europe. Sapience Analytics Corporation enters into SCCs with third party sub-processors when customer personal data originating from Europe is transferred to Sapience Analytics Corporation, or transferred by Sapience Analytics Corporation and its third-party sub-processors.

Regulations Applicable Data Transfers

The following US laws were identified by the Court of Justice of the European Union in Schrems II as being potential obstacles to ensuring equivalent protection for personal data in the US:

FISA Section 702 (“FISA 702”)
- FISA 702 allows US government authorities to compel disclosure of information about non-US persons located outside the US for the purposes of foreign intelligence information gathering. This information gathering must be approved by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in Washington, DC. In-scope providers subject FISA 702 are electronic communication service providers (“ECSP”) within the meaning of 50 U.S.C § 1881(b)(4), which can include remote computing service providers (“RCSP”), as defined under 18 U.S.C. § 2510 and 18 U.S.C. § 2711.
Executive Order 12333 (“EO 12333”)
- EO 12333 – authorizes intelligence agencies (like the US National Security Agency) to conduct surveillance outside of the US. In particular, it provides authority for US intelligence agencies to collect foreign “signals intelligence” information, being information collected from communications and other data passed or accessible by radio, wire and other electromagnetic means. This may include accessing underwater cables carrying internet data in transit to the US. EO 12333 does not rely on the compelled assistance of service providers, but instead appears to rely on exploiting vulnerabilities in telecommunications infrastructure.
CLOUD Act
- The CLOUD Act is the US statute governing how law enforcement agencies may obtain information held by certain technology companies, including cloud service providers.

Further information about these US surveillance laws can be found in the U.S. Privacy Safeguards Relevant to SCCs and Other EU Legal Bases for EU-U.S. Data Transfers after Schrems II whitepaper from September 2020. This whitepaper details the limits and safeguards pertaining to US public authority access to data and was issued in response to the Schrems II ruling.

Regarding FISA 702 the whitepaper notes:

For most companies, the concerns about national security access to company data highlighted by Schrems II are “unlikely to arise because the data they handle is of no interest to the U.S. intelligence community.” Companies handling “ordinary commercial information like employee, customer, or sales records, would have no basis to believe US intelligence agencies would seek to collect that data.”
There is individual redress, including for EU citizens, for violations of FISA section 702 through measures not addressed by the court in the Schrems II ruling, including FISA provisions allowing private actions for compensatory and punitive damages.

Regarding Executive Order 12333 the whitepaper notes:

EO 12333 does not on its own “authorize the U.S. government to require any company or person to disclose data.” Instead, EO 12333 must rely on a statute, such as FISA 702 to collect data.
Bulk data collection, the type of data collection at issue in Schrems II, is expressly prohibited under EO 12333.

Regarding CLOUD Act the whitepaper notes:

The CLOUD Act only permits U.S. government access to data in criminal investigations after obtaining a warrant approved by an independent court based on probable cause of a specific criminal act.
The CLOUD Act does not allow U.S. government access in national security investigations, and it does not permit bulk surveillance

Is Sapience Analytics Corporation subject to FISA 702 or EO 12333?

Sapience Analytics Corporation, like most US-based SaaS companies, could technically be subject to FISA 702 where it is deemed to be a RCSP. However, Sapience Analytics Corporation does not process personal data that is likely to be of interest to US intelligence agencies.

Furthermore, Sapience Analytics Corporation is not likely to be subject to upstream surveillance orders under FISA 702, the type of order principally addressed in, and deemed problematic by,the Schrems II decision. Sapience Analytics Corporation does not provide internet backbone services, but instead only carries traffic involving its own customers. To date, the U.S. Government has interpreted and applied FISA 702 upstream orders to only target market providers that have traffic flowing through their internet backbone and that carry traffic for third parties (i.e., telecommunications carriers).

EO 12333 contains no authorization to compel private companies (such as Sapience Analytics Corporation) to disclose personal data to US authorities and FISA 702 requires an independent court to authorize a specific type of foreign intelligence data acquisition which is generally unrelated to commercial information. In the event that US intelligence agencies were interested in the type of data that Sapience Analytics Corporation processes, safeguards such as the requirement for authorization by an independent court and the necessity and proportionality requirements would protect data from excessive surveillance.

In the event that Sapience Analytics Corporation receives a US National Security Request (including requests for access under FISA 702 or direct access under EO 12333), Sapience Analytics Corporation will inform the affected customer within 24 hours of the request. While Sapience Analytics Corporation may technically be subject to the surveillance laws identified in the Schrems II judgment, Sapience has not been subject to these types of requests in day-to-day business operations.

Identify the technical, contractual, and organizational measures applied to protect the transferred data

Technical and Organizational Measures – See Annex II within this document and detailed within the annual Sapience Analytics Corporation SOC 2 Type 2 report.
Contractual Measures – Sapience Analytics Corporation outlines contractual measures within Master Service Agreements, documented Data Processing Agreement, and SCC. Sapience Analytics is obligated under the SCCs to notify its customers in the event it is made subject to a request for government access to customer personal data from a government authority. Under the SCCs, Sapience Analytics Corporation is obligated to review the legality of government authority access requests and challenge such requests where they are considered to be unlawful.
