2. Relationship of the Parties; Processing of Data
2.1 The parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the processing of Personal Data, Customer may act
either as a controller or processor and, except as expressly set forth in this DPA or the Agreement, Company is a
processor. Customer shall, in its use of the Services, at all times process Personal Data, and provide instructions for
the processing of Personal Data, in compliance with Data Protection Laws. Customer shall ensure that the processing
of Personal Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions will not cause Company to be in breach of the Data
Protection Laws. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of (i) the Personal Data provided
to Company by or on behalf of Customer, (ii) the means by which Customer acquired any such Personal Data, and (iii)
the instructions it provides to Company regarding the processing of such Personal Data. Customer shall not provide or
make available to Company any Personal Data in violation of the Agreement or otherwise inappropriate for the nature
of the Services, and shall indemnify Company from all claims and losses in connection therewith. Any claims against
the Company or its Affiliates under this DPA shall be brought solely against the entity that is a party to the Agreement.
Except with respect to any enforcement rights afforded to Data Subjects under Data Protection Laws, no one other
than a party to this DPA, its successors and permitted assignees shall have any right to enforce any of its terms. In
addition to all other remedies available to Company, Customer further agrees that any regulatory penalties incurred
by Company in relation to any Customer Personal Data that arise as a result of, or in connection with, Customer’s
failure to comply with its obligations under this DPA or any applicable Data Protection Laws shall count toward and
reduce the Company’s liability under the Agreement as if it were liability to the Customer under the Agreement.
2.2 Company shall not process Personal Data (i) for purposes other than those set forth in the Agreement and/or
Attachment A, (ii) in a manner inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this DPA or any other
documented instructions provided by Customer, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country
or an international organization, unless required to do so by Supervisory Authority to which the Company is subject;
in such a case, the Company shall inform the Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law
prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest, or (iii) in violation of Data Protection Laws.
Customer hereby instructs Company to process Personal Data in accordance with the foregoing and as part of any
processing initiated by Customer in its use of the Services.
2.3 The subject matter, nature, purpose, and duration of this processing, as well as the types of Personal Data
collected and categories of Data Subjects, are described in Attachment A to this DPA.
2.4 Following completion of the Services, Company shall return or delete Customer’s Personal Data, as feasible,
unless further storage of such Personal Data is required or authorized by applicable law. If return or destruction is
impracticable or prohibited by law, rule or regulation, Company shall take measures to block such Personal Data from
any further processing (except to the extent necessary for its continued hosting or processing required by law, rule or
regulation) and shall continue to appropriately protect the Personal Data remaining in its possession, custody, or
control. If Customer and Company have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6 (Transfers
of Personal Data), the parties agree that the certification of deletion of Personal Data that is described in Clause 8.1(d)
and Clause 8.5 of the EU SCCs (as applicable) shall be provided by Company to Customer only upon Customer’s request.
2.5 CPRA and VCDPA. The parties acknowledge and agree that the processing of personal information or personal
data that is subject to the CPRA or VCDPA shall be carried out in accordance with the terms set forth in Attachment E.
3. Confidentiality
Company shall ensure that any person it authorizes to process Personal Data has agreed to protect Personal Data in
accordance with Company’s confidentiality obligations in the Agreement. Customer agrees that Company may disclose
RisingWave DPA 3
Personal Data to its advisers, auditors or other third parties as reasonably required in connection with the performance
of its obligations under this DPA, the Agreement, or the provision of Services to Customer.
4. Sub-Processors
4.1 Customer acknowledges and agrees that Company may (1) engage its Affiliates as well as the Sub-Processors
to access and process Personal Data in connection with the Services and (2) from time to time engage additional third
parties for the purpose of providing the Services, including without limitation the processing of Personal Data. By way
of this DPA, Customer provides general written authorization to Company to engage sub-processors as necessary to
perform the Services.
4.2 Company will enter into a written agreement with the Sub-Processor imposing on the Sub-Processor data
protection obligations comparable to those imposed on Company under this DPA with respect to the protection of
Personal Data. In case a Sub-Processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement with
Company, Company will remain liable to Customer for the performance of the Sub-Processor’s obligations under such
agreement.
4.3 If Customer and Company have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6 (Transfers
of Personal Data), (i) the above authorizations will constitute Customer’s prior written consent to the subcontracting
by Company of the processing of Personal Data if such consent is required under the Standard Contractual Clauses,
and (ii) the parties agree that the copies of the agreements with Sub-Processors that must be provided by Company
to Customer pursuant to Clause 9(c) of the EU SCCs may have commercial information, or information unrelated to
the Standard Contractual Clauses or their equivalent, removed by the Company beforehand, and that such copies will
be provided by the Company only upon request by Customer.
5. Security of Personal Data.
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 for the rights and freedoms of natural persons,
Company shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate
to the risk of processing Personal Data. Attachment C sets forth additional information about Company’s technical and
organizational security measures.
6. Transfers of Personal Data
6.1 The parties agree that Company may transfer Personal Data processed under this DPA outside the EEA, the
UK, or Switzerland as necessary to provide the Services. Customer acknowledges that though Company may process
Personal Data in other parts of the world in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws, Company’s primary
processing operations take place in the United States, and that the transfer of Customer’s Personal Data to the United
States is necessary for the provision of the Services to Customer. If Company transfers Personal Data protected under
this DPA to a jurisdiction for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision, Company will
ensure that appropriate safeguards have been implemented for the transfer of Personal Data in accordance with Data
Protection Laws.
6.2 Ex-EEA Transfers. The parties agree that ex-EEA Transfers are made pursuant to the EU SCCs, which are
deemed entered into (and incorporated into this DPA by this reference) and completed as follows:
6.2.1 Module One (Controller to Controller) of the EU SCCs apply when Company is processing Personal
Data as a controller pursuant to Section 9 of this DPA.
6.2.2 Module Two (Controller to Processor) of the EU SCCs apply when Customer is a controller and
Company is processing Personal Data for Customer as a processor pursuant to Section 2 of this DPA.
6.2.3 Module Three (Processor to Sub-Processor) of the EU SCCs apply when Customer is a processor and
Company is processing Personal Data on behalf of Customer as a sub-processor.
6.3 For each module, where applicable the following applies:
6.3.1 The optional docking clause in Clause 7 does not apply;
6.3.2 In Clause 9, Option 2 (general written authorization) applies;
6.3.3 In Clause 11, the optional language does not apply;
RisingWave DPA 4
6.3.4 All square brackets in Clause 13 are hereby removed;
6.3.5 In Clause 17 (Option 1), the EU SCCs will be governed by Ireland law;
6.3.6 In Clause 18(b), disputes will be resolved before the courts of Ireland;
6.3.7 Attachment B to this DPA contains the information required in Annex I and Annex III of the EU SCCs;
6.3.8 Attachment C to this DPA contains the information required in Annex II of the EU SCCs; and
6.3.9 By entering into this DPA, the parties are deemed to have signed the EU SCCs incorporated herein,
including their Annexes.
6.4 Ex-UK Transfers. The parties agree that ex-UK Transfers are made pursuant to the UK SCCs, which are deemed
entered into and incorporated into this DPA by reference, and amended and completed in accordance with the UK
Addendum, which is incorporated herein as Attachment D of this DPA.
6.5 Transfers from Switzerland. The parties agree that transfers from Switzerland are made pursuant to the EU
SCCs with the following modifications:
6.5.1 The terms “General Data Protection Regulation” or “Regulation (EU) 2016/679” as utilized in the EU
SCCs shall be interpreted to include the Federal Act on Data Protection of 19 June 1992 (the “FADP,”
and as revised as of 25 September 2020, the “Revised FADP”) with respect to data transfers subject
to the FADP.
6.5.2 The terms of the EU SCCs shall be interpreted to protect the data of legal entities until the effective
date of the Revised FADP.
6.5.3 Clause 13 of the EU SCCs is modified to provide that the Federal Data Protection and Information
Commissioner (“FDPIC”) of Switzerland shall have authority over data transfers governed by the
FADP and the appropriate EU supervisory authority shall have authority over data transfers governed
by the GDPR. Subject to the foregoing, all other requirements of Section 13 shall be observed.
6.5.4 The term “EU Member State” as utilized in the EU SCCs shall not be interpreted in such a way as to
exclude Data Subjects in Switzerland from exercising their rights in their place of habitual residence
in accordance with Clause 18(c) of the EU SCCs.
6.6 Supplementary Measures. In respect of any ex-EEA Transfer or ex-UK Transfer, the following supplementary
measures shall apply:
6.6.1 As of the date of this DPA, the Data Importer has not received any formal legal requests from any
government intelligence or security service/agencies in the country to which the Personal Data is
being exported, for access to (or for copies of) Customer’s Personal Data (“Government Agency
Requests”);
6.6.2 If, after the date of this DPA, the Data Importer receives any Government Agency Requests,
Company shall attempt to redirect the law enforcement or government agency to request that data
directly from Customer. As part of this effort, Company may provide Customer’s basic contact
information to the government agency. If compelled to disclose Customer’s Personal Data to a law
enforcement or government agency, Company shall give Customer reasonable notice of the demand
and cooperate to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless
Company is legally prohibited from doing so. Company shall not voluntarily disclose Personal Data
to any law enforcement or government agency. Data Exporter and Data Importer shall (as soon as
reasonably practicable) discuss and determine whether all or any transfers of Personal Data
pursuant to this DPA should be suspended in the light of the such Government Agency Requests;
and
6.6.3 The Data Exporter and Data Importer will meet regularly to consider whether:
(i) the protection afforded by the laws of the country of the Data Importer to data subjects
whose Personal Data is being transferred is sufficient to provide broadly equivalent protection to
that afforded in the EEA or the UK, whichever the case may be;
RisingWave DPA 5
(ii) additional measures are reasonably necessary to enable the transfer to be compliant with
the Data Protection Laws; and
(iii) it is still appropriate for Personal Data to be transferred to the relevant Data Importer,
taking into account all relevant information available to the parties, together with guidance provided
by the supervisory authorities.
6.6.4 If Data Protection Laws require the Data Exporter to execute the Standard Contractual Clauses
applicable to a particular transfer of Personal Data to a Data Importer as a separate agreement, the
Data Importer shall, on request of the Data Exporter, promptly execute such Standard Contractual
Clauses incorporating such amendments as may reasonably be required by the Data Exporter to
reflect the applicable appendices and annexes, the details of the transfer and the requirements of
the relevant Data Protection Laws.
6.6.5 If either (i) any of the means of legitimizing transfers of Personal Data outside of the EEA or UK set
forth in this DPA cease to be valid or (ii) any supervisory authority requires transfers of Personal Data
pursuant to those means to be suspended, then Data Importer may by notice to the Data Exporter,
with effect from the date set out in such notice, amend or put in place alternative arrangements in
respect of such transfers, as required by Data Protection Laws.
6.7 Company and Customer agree that the data export solution identified in Sections 6.2 through 6.5 shall not
apply if and to the extent that Company adopts an alternative data export solution for the lawful transfer of Personal
Data, as recognized under applicable Data Protection Laws (“Alternative Transfer Mechanism”), in which event, the
Alternative Transfer Mechanism shall apply instead (but only to the extent such Alternative Transfer Mechanism
extends to the territories to which Personal Data is transferred).
7. Rights of Data Subjects
7.1 Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, notify Customer upon receipt of a request by a Data Subject
to exercise the Data Subject’s right of: access, rectification, erasure, data portability, restriction or cessation of
processing, withdrawal of consent to processing, and/or objection to being subject to processing that constitutes
automated decision-making (such requests individually and collectively “Data Subject Request(s)”). If Company
receives a Data Subject Request in relation to Customer’s data, Company will advise the Data Subject to submit their
request to Customer and Customer will be responsible for responding to such request, including, where necessary, by
using the functionality of the Services. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that Data Subject Requests for
erasure, restriction or cessation of processing, or withdrawal of consent to processing of any Personal Data are
communicated to Company, and, if applicable, for ensuring that a record of consent to processing is maintained with
respect to each Data Subject.
7.2 Company shall, at the request of the Customer, and taking into account the nature of the processing
applicable to any Data Subject Request, apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to assist Customer
in complying with Customer’s obligation to respond to such Data Subject Request and/or in demonstrating such
compliance, where possible, provided that (i) Customer is itself unable to respond without Company’s assistance and
(ii) Company is able to do so in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Customer shall be
responsible to the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by Company.
8. Actions and Access Requests; Audits
8.1 Company shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Company,
provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance where necessary for Customer to comply with its
obligations under the GDPR to conduct a data protection impact assessment and/or to demonstrate such compliance,
provided that Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information. Customer shall be responsible to
the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by Company.
8.2 Company shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Company,
provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance with respect to Customer’s cooperation and/or prior
consultation with any Supervisory Authority, where necessary and where required by the GDPR. Customer shall be
responsible to the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by Company.
RisingWave DPA 6
8.3 Upon Customer’s written request at reasonable intervals, and subject to reasonable confidentiality controls,
Company shall, either (i) make available for Customer’s review copies of certifications or reports demonstrating
Company’s compliance with prevailing data security standards applicable to the processing of Customer’s Personal
Data, or (ii) if the provision of reports or certifications pursuant to (i) is not reasonably sufficient under Data Protection
Laws, allow Customer’s independent third party representative to conduct an audit or inspection of Company’s data
security infrastructure and procedures that is sufficient to demonstrate Company’s compliance with its obligations
under Data Protection Laws, provided that (a) Customer provides reasonable prior written notice of any such request
for an audit and such inspection shall not be unreasonably disruptive to Company’s business; (b) such audit shall only
be performed during business hours and occur no more than once per calendar year; and (c) such audit shall be
restricted to data relevant to Customer. Customer shall be responsible for the costs of any such audits or inspections,
including without limitation a reimbursement to Company for any time expended for on-site audits. If Customer and
Company have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6 (Transfers of Personal Data), the
parties agree that the audits described in Clause 8.9 of the EU SCCs shall be carried out in accordance with this Section
8.4.
8.4 Company shall immediately notify Customer if an instruction, in the Company’s opinion, infringes the Data
Protection Laws or Supervisory Authority.
8.5 In the event of a Personal Data Breach, Company shall, without undue delay, inform Customer of the Personal
Data Breach and take such steps as Company in its sole discretion deems necessary and reasonable to remediate such
violation (to the extent that remediation is within Company’s reasonable control).
8.6 In the event of a Personal Data Breach, Company shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and
the information available to Company, provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance necessary for
Customer to comply with its obligations under the GDPR with respect to notifying (i) the relevant Supervisory Authority
and (ii) Data Subjects affected by such Personal Data Breach without undue delay.
8.7 The obligations described in Sections 8.5 and 8.6 shall not apply in the event that a Personal Data Breach
results from the actions or omissions of Customer. Company’s obligation to report or respond to a Personal Data
Breach under Sections 8.4 and 8.5 will not be construed as an acknowledgement by Company of any fault or liability
with respect to the Personal Data Breach.
9. Company’s Role as a Controller. The parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to Company Account Data
and Company Usage Data, Company is an independent controller, not a joint controller with Customer. Company will
process Company Account Data and Company Usage Data as a controller (i) to manage the relationship with Customer;
(ii) to carry out Company’s core business operations, such as accounting, audits, tax preparation and filing and
compliance purposes; (iii) to monitor, investigate, prevent and detect fraud, security incidents and other misuse of the
Services, and to prevent harm to Customer; (iv) for identity verification purposes; (v) to comply with legal or regulatory
obligations applicable to the processing and retention of Personal Data to which Company is subject; and (vi) as
otherwise permitted under Data Protection Laws and in accordance with this DPA and the Agreement. Company may
also process Company Usage Data as a controller to provide, optimize, and maintain the Services, to the extent
permitted by Data Protection Laws. Any processing by the Company as a controller shall be in accordance with the
Company’s privacy policy set forth at https://www.risingwave.com/privacy-policy/.
10. Conflict. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence
will be: (1) the applicable terms in the Standard Contractual Clauses; (2) the terms of this DPA; (3) the Agreement; and
(4) the Company’s privacy policy. Company’s failure to comply with any of the provisions of this DPA is a material
breach of the underlying Agreement. In such event, Customer may terminate the Agreement effective immediately
upon written notice to Company without further liability or obligation to Company.
11. Execution of this DPA. To complete this DPA, Customer must: (i) complete the information requested in the
signature block below and sign there, (ii) complete the information requested of the “data exporter” on Attachment
B, and (iii) send the completed and signed Addendum to Company by email to contact@risingwave-labs.com. Upon
receipt of the validly completed DPA by Company at this email address, this DPA will become legally binding.

between the parties, the parties agree that, for ex-UK Transfers, the hierarchy in Section 10 below will prevail.
