Metolius shall take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability and confidentiality of any employee, agent, or contractor who Metolius provides access to Customer Personal Data, ensuring that access is strictly limited to those individuals who need to access the relevant Customer Personal Data for the purposes of providing the Services and as otherwise necessary to comply with Metolius’s obligations under the Agreement, this DPA, the Customer Instructions, and applicable laws.
- Third Parties.

- SUB-PROCESSORS
- Consent to Sub-Processor Engagement. Customer specifically authorizes Metolius to engage as Sub-Processors: (1) those entities listed in Schedule 1, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; and (2) all Metolius Affiliates. Without prejudice to Section 7.4 below, Customer generally authorizes Metolius to engage any other third party as a Sub-Processor at any time during the term of this DPA (“New Third Party Sub-Processor”).
- Sub-Processor Information. To the extent required under the Data Protection Laws, Metolius will make available to Customer information about Sub-Processors engaged by Metolius, including their respective functions and locations.
- Sub-Processor Engagement Requirements. In connection with its engagement of any Sub-Processor, Metolius will:
- ensure via written contract that the Sub-Processor only accesses and uses Customer Personal Data to the extent required to perform the obligations assigned to it, and does so in accordance with a binding written agreement that imposes the same or greater obligations as Metolius’s obligations set forth in this DPA; and
- remain fully liable for all obligations assigned to, and all acts and omissions of, the Sub-Processor in connection with such Sub-Processor’s Processing of Customer Personal Data.

- Customer may, within fifteen (15) days after being notified of the engagement of a New Third Party Sub-Processor, reasonably object to such New Third Party Sub-Processor. In the event Customer reasonably objects to such New Third Party Sub-Processor, Metolius will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s use of the Services to avoid Processing of Customer Personal Data by the objected-to New Third Party Sub-Processor without unreasonably burdening Customer. If Metolius is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, Customer may, as its sole remedy, terminate the Agreement and this DPA by providing written notice to Metolius provided that all undisputed amounts due under the Agreement before the termination date shall be duly paid to Metolius. Until a decision is made regarding the objected-to New Third Party Sub-Processor, Metolius may temporarily suspend the Processing of the affected Customer Personal Data. Customer will have no further claims against Metolius due to Services performed by Metolius or Sub-Processors before the date of objection.

-
- Solely to the extent required under the Data Protection Laws and subject to this Section 8.3, Metolius will allow Customer, no more frequently than annually, to conduct audits (including inspections) to verify Metolius’s compliance with Metolius’s obligations under this DPA and/or the Data Protection Laws (“Customer Audit”); provided, however, any such Customer Audit, including, without limitation, any observations, conclusions, or other results of any such Customer Audit and any documents reflecting the foregoing (collectively, “Customer Audit Results”), shall only be used by Customer to assess Metolius’s compliance with this DPA and/or the Data Protection Laws, and shall not be used for any other purpose or disclosed to any third party without Metolius’s prior written approval and, subject to express requirements under the Data Protection Laws to the contrary, upon Metolius’s request, Customer shall return to Metolius all such Customer Audit Results in Customer’s possession or under its control.
- Customer must send any requests to conduct a Customer Audit of Metolius to support@metoliusgolf.com. Following Metolius’s receipt of such request, Metolius and Customer will discuss and agree in advance on the reasonable start date and duration of such Customer Audit and the scope of Metolius’s technical and organizational measures in scope for such Customer Audit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise agreed by Metolius in writing, any Customer Audit: (1) involving inspection of Metolius’s business offices or data centers shall be limited to such business offices or data centers where Metolius Processes Customer Personal Data for or on behalf of Customer and shall expressly exclude inspection of or access to any premises and systems containing Personal Data Metolius Processes for or on behalf of itself or any third party that is logically but not physically separated from Customer Personal Data; (2) shall only occur during Metolius’s normal business hours; (3) shall be conducted in a manner that minimizes any disruptions to Metolius’s business operations; (4) shall be completed in one business day; and (5) shall be subject to all confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement and this DPA and Security Measures in effect at the applicable business office or data center.

- Except as otherwise expressly prohibited under the Data Protection Laws, Metolius may charge a fee (based on Metolius’s reasonable costs) for any Customer Audit conducted pursuant to this Section 8.3. Upon Customer’s written request, Metolius will provide Customer with further details of any applicable fee, and the basis of its calculation, in advance of the applicable Customer Audit. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer will be responsible for any fees charged by any auditor appointed by Customer to conduct any such Customer Audit.
- Metolius may object in writing to any auditor appointed by Customer to conduct any Customer Audit if the auditor is, in Metolius’s reasonable opinion, not suitably qualified or independent, a competitor of Metolius, or otherwise manifestly unsuitable. Any such objection by Metolius will require Customer to appoint another auditor or conduct the Customer Audit itself.
- Without limiting the foregoing, prior to conducting any Customer Audit, Customer shall undertake reasonable efforts to conduct any such Customer Audit through a review of the Security Documentation in accordance with the procedures described in Section 8.2.
- Additional Reviews Under CCPA.

- Metolius grants Customer the right, upon 14 days’ prior written notice, to: (1) take reasonable and appropriate steps to help ensure that Metolius uses CCPA Data Metolius receives from the Customer in a manner consistent with Customer’s obligations under the CCPA; and (2) take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate Metolius’s unauthorized use of Customer Personal Data; and
- For clarity, except where prohibited under the CCPA:
- The rights set forth in Section 8.4(a) shall be subject to any applicable limitations or requirements set forth in the Agreement or this DPA, including, without limitation, all confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement and exceptions to Metolius’s obligations to provide the Services in accordance with any service level agreement or other service level commitment; and

-
- Security Breach. In the event of a Security Breach, Metolius will notify Customer promptly and without undue delay after Metolius discovers such Security Breach. Such notification of a Security Breach will be delivered to the notice address for Customer provided in the Agreement, or, at Metolius’s discretion, by telephone or other direct communication.

Entering into this Addendum
- Each Party agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set out in this Addendum, in exchange for the other Party also agreeing to be bound by this Addendum.
- Although Annex 1A and Clause 7 of the Approved EU SCCs require signature by the Parties, for the purpose of making Restricted Transfers, the Parties may enter into this Addendum in any way that makes them legally binding on the Parties and allows data subjects to enforce their rights as set out in this Addendum. Entering into this Addendum will have the same effect as signing the Approved EU SCCs and any part of the Approved EU SCCs.
Interpretation of this Addendum
- Where this Addendum uses terms that are defined in the Approved EU SCCs those terms shall have the same meaning as in the Approved EU SCCs. In addition, the following terms have the following meanings:
Addendum | This International Data Transfer Addendum which is made up of this Addendum incorporating the Addendum EU SCCs. |
Addendum EU SCCs | The version(s) of the Approved EU SCCs which this Addendum is appended to, as set out in Table 2, including the Appendix Information. |
Appendix Information | As set out in Table 3. |
Appropriate Safeguards | The standard of protection over the personal data and of data subjects’ rights, which is required by UK Data Protection Laws when you are making a Restricted Transfer relying on standard data protection clauses under Article 46(2)(d) UK GDPR. |

- This Addendum must always be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with UK Data Protection Laws and so that it fulfils the Parties’ obligation to provide the Appropriate Safeguards.
- If the provisions included in the Addendum EU SCCs amend the Approved SCCs in any way which is not permitted under the Approved EU SCCs or the Approved Addendum, such amendment(s) will not be incorporated in this Addendum and the equivalent provision of the Approved EU SCCs will take their place.
