1.18 The terms “controller,” “data subject,” “supervisory authority”, “processor,” “process,”
“processing,” and “personal data” have the meanings given to them in Applicable Data Protection
Laws. The term controller includes ‘businesses’ (as defined in the CCPA), the term data subject
includes ‘consumers’ (as defined in the CCPA), the term processor includes ‘service providers’ (as
defined in the CCPA), and the term personal data includes ‘personal information’ (as defined in
the CCPA) to the extent the rights and obligations in this DPA apply under the CCPA.
2. DATA PROCESSING
2.1 Applicability. This DPA, except as set forth in Section 2.5, applies only to the extent that
Databricks processes Customer Personal Data on behalf of Customer as a processor or sub-
processor in the course of providing the Covered Databricks Services (including as described in
Annex A of this DPA).
2.2 Party Roles. As between the parties, Customer is either the controller or processor of Customer
Personal Data and Databricks is the processor or sub-processor of Customer Personal Data.
2.3 Compliance with Laws. Each party will comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to it
in the exercise of its rights or performance of its obligations under the Agreement or this DPA,
including Applicable Data Protection Laws. If Applicable Data Protection Laws and
corresponding obligations related to the processing of personal data change, the parties shall
discuss in good faith any necessary amendments to this DPA. Databricks will not ‘sell’ (as such
term is defined in the CCPA) Customer Personal Data.
(a) Databricks shall process Customer Personal Data pursuant to Customer’s use of the
Covered Databricks Services in accordance with Customer’s documented lawful
instructions as set forth in this DPA and the Agreement(s) and as otherwise necessary to
provide the Covered Databricks Services (together “Processing Instructions”). Additional
instructions outside the scope of the Processing Instructions (if any) require prior
written agreement between the parties. Customer shall ensure that its Processing
Instructions comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws. Taking into account the
nature of the processing, Customer agrees that it is unlikely Databricks can form an
opinion on whether the Processing Instructions violate Applicable Data Protection Laws.
If Databricks forms such an opinion, it shall, unless prohibited from doing so under
applicable laws, inform Customer, in which case, Customer is entitled to withdraw or
modify its Processing Instructions. Databricks may without penalty refuse further
processing of personal data under this DPA that it believes to be in violation of any law or
regulation, including any Applicable Data Protection Laws.
(b) Where Customer is itself a processor of the Customer Personal Data acting on behalf of
another third party controller (or on behalf of other intermediaries of the ultimate
controller): (i) Customer represents and warrants to Databricks that the Processing
Instructions and its actions with respect to Customer Personal Data, including its
appointment of Databricks as a processor or sub-processor pursuant to this DPA, reflect
and do not conflict with the instructions of such third parties; (ii) Customer agrees at
Databricks’ request to serve as the sole point of contact for Databricks with regard to
such third parties; (iii) Databricks need not interact directly with (including seeking
authorizations directly from) any such third party (other than through the regular
provision of the Platform Services to the extent required by the Agreement); and (iv)
where Databricks would (including for the purposes of the SCCs) otherwise be required
to provide information, assistance, co-operation or anything else to such third party
controller, Databricks may provide it solely to Customer as the sole point of contact.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Databricks shall be entitled to follow the instructions of
such third party with respect to Customer Personal Data for which they are controller
instead of Customer's if Databricks reasonably believes this is legally required in the
circumstances.
Databricks DPA 25 September 2021 Page 3
(c) Taking into account the nature of the processing, Customer agrees that it is unlikely that
Databricks would become aware that Customer Personal Data transferred under the
Standard Contractual Clauses is inaccurate or outdated. Nonetheless, if Databricks
becomes aware that Customer Personal Data transferred under the Standard
Contractual Clauses is inaccurate or outdated, it will inform Customer without undue
delay. Databricks provides certain controls and functionality within the Platform
Services to enable the Customer to correct Customer Personal Data that is inaccurate or
outdated. It is Customer’s responsibility to make any necessary corrections.
2.5 Usage Data. Databricks may collect Usage Data. Databricks shall process Usage Data in
accordance with its obligations as a controller under Applicable Data Protection Laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Databricks will never share (other than with Subprocessors or
third parties providing services to Databricks who agree to terms at least as restrictive regarding
the processing of Usage Data as those set forth herein) or publicly make available any Usage Data
that identifies Customer or its users, data subjects, or customers, nor use any Usage Data in a
manner that derives its value from Customer Personal Data. Without limiting the foregoing,
Databricks will not ‘sell’ (as such term is defined in the CCPA) any Usage Data that contains
personal data subject to the CCPA.
2.6 Authorized Affiliates. Databricks obligations set forth in this DPA shall also extend to Authorized
Affiliates, subject to the following conditions:
(b) Customer shall be responsible for Authorized Affiliates’ compliance with this DPA and all
acts and/or omissions by an Authorized Affiliate with respect to Customer’s obligations
in this DPA shall be considered the acts and/or omissions of Customer; and
(c) Authorized Affiliates shall not bring a claim directly against Databricks. If an Authorized
Affiliate seeks to assert a legal demand, action, suit, claim, proceeding or otherwise
against Databricks (“Authorized Affiliate Claim”): (i) Customer must bring such Authorized
Affiliate Claim directly against Databricks on behalf of such Authorized Affiliate, unless
Applicable Data Protection Laws require the Authorized Affiliate be a party to such claim;
and (ii) all Authorized Affiliate Claims shall be considered claims made by Customer and
shall be subject to any liability restrictions set forth in the Agreement, including any
aggregate limitation of liability.
3. PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE
3.1 Shared Responsibility Deployment. Certain components of the Platform Services are under
Customer’s control as further described in the Agreement. Each party shall be responsible for
implementing appropriate technical and organizational security measures in order to protect
Customer Content under its control, which for Databricks shall be the implementation of the
Security Measures set forth in Section 6.2. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer
acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for (i) protecting the security of credentials used
to access the Platform Services; (ii) securing and managing the Customer-provided cloud
provider environment into which Customer directs Databricks to deploy the portion of the
Platform Services known as the ‘Customer data plane’ and any Customer System (with such steps
to include without limitation the regular rotation of access keys and other industry standard
steps to preclude unauthorized access); and (iii) any security or other issues resulting from any
Customer Content, and Customer expressly assumes the risks associated with the foregoing
responsibilities.
3.2 Data Agnostic. Customer solely chooses what Customer Content (including any Customer
Personal Data) it processes in the Covered Databricks Services. Customer acknowledges that
3.3 Sensitive Data. Customer will not provide or process Sensitive Data in the Covered Databricks
Services without Databricks’ prior written approval (which approval may be set forth in an
applicable Order Form).
3.4 No Data Backup. Databricks and the Databricks Services do not provide backup services or
disaster recovery for Customer Content. Databricks does provide functionality within the
Platform Services that may permit Customer to backup certain Customer Content on its own. It
is Customer’s obligation to backup any Customer Content if desired.
4. SUBPROCESSING
4.2 Databricks Subprocessor Obligations. Databricks (i) shall enter into a written agreement with its
Subprocessors which includes data protection and security measures no less protective of
Customer Personal Data than the Agreement and this DPA and (ii) remains fully liable for any
breach of this DPA or the Agreement that is caused by an act, error or omission of such
Subprocessor to the extent Databricks would have been liable for such act, error or omission had
it been caused by Databricks.
4.3 Subprocessor Changes. Prior to the addition of any new Subprocessor, Databricks shall provide
notice to Customer not less than 30 calendar days prior to the date on which the Subprocessor
shall commence processing Customer Personal Data. Such notice will be sent to individuals who
have signed up to receive updates to the Subprocessor List via the mechanism(s) indicated on
the Subprocessor List (which mechanisms will include at a minimum email).
4.4 Subprocessor Objections. Customer may reasonably object on data protection grounds to
Databricks’ use of a new Subprocessor by notifying Databricks in writing within 10 calendar days
after notice has been provided by Databricks. In the event of Customer’s timely objection on such
reasonable grounds relating to data protection, Databricks will either: (i) work with Customer to
address Customer’s objections to its reasonable satisfaction; (ii) instruct the Subprocessor to
not process Customer Content (including any Customer Personal Data); provided that Customer
acknowledges this may result in new or improved Covered Databricks Services features not
being available to Customer; or (iii) notify Customer of its option to terminate this DPA and the
Agreement. Customer shall have 14 calendar days in which to exercise its option to terminate
this DPA and the Agreement after receiving notice of a right to terminate. If Customer timely
exercises its right to terminate the Agreement, Databricks will provide Customer with a pro rata
reimbursement of any prepaid, but unused, fees as of the date Customer notifies Databricks of
its choice to exercise such right.
4.5 Non-Databricks Services. Customer acknowledges that any third party services (other than
Subprocessors) that may be linked to or used within the Platform Services (e.g., Customer may
use GitHub to backup Customer’s notebooks) and that Customer may choose to use at its option
(“Non-Databricks Services”) are governed solely by the terms and conditions and privacy policies
of such Non-Databricks Services. Databricks does not endorse, is not responsible or liable for,
and makes no representations as to any aspect of such Non-Databricks Services, including,
without limitation, their content or the manner in which they handle your Customer Content
(including Customer Personal Data) or any interaction between Customer and the provider of
such Non-Databricks Services. Databricks is not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged
to be caused by or in connection with Customer’s enablement, access or use of any such Non-
Databricks Services, or Customer’s reliance on the privacy practices, data security processes or
other policies of such Non-Databricks Services. The providers of Non-Databricks Services shall
not be deemed Subprocessors for any purpose under this DPA.
Databricks DPA 25 September 2021 Page 5
5. COOPERATION
5.1 Data Subject Requests. If Databricks receives a request from a data subject seeking to exercise
their rights under Applicable Data Protection Laws that identifies Customer and relates to
Customer Personal Data (“DSR”), Databricks shall promptly pass on such communication to
Customer. Customer is responsible for responding to and complying with any DSR. The Covered
Databricks Services include controls that Customer may use to assist it to respond to a DSR. If
Customer is unable to access any relevant Customer Personal Data that is under Databricks’
control using such controls, Databricks shall, taking into account the nature of the processing,
reasonably cooperate with Customer to enable Customer to respond to the DSR.
5.2 Government Inquiries. If Databricks receives a subpoena, court order, warrant or other legal
demand from law enforcement or public or judicial authorities seeking the disclosure of
Customer Content, Databricks shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, promptly notify
Customer in writing of such request and reasonably cooperate with Customer to limit, challenge
or protect against such disclosure.
5.3 Assistance. Databricks will (i) at Customer’s request and expense assist Customer to conduct a
data protection impact assessment and, where legally required, consult with applicable data
protection authorities; and (ii) respond to reasonable requests for additional information if
necessary for Customer to demonstrate its compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws.
6. DATA ACCESS
6.1 Confidentiality. Databricks shall ensure that any person it authorizes (including Databricks'
employees, contractors and Subprocessors) to process Customer Content is subject to a duty of
confidentiality substantially as protective of Customer Content as this DPA and the Agreement.
6.2 Security Measures. Databricks will implement and maintain appropriate technical and
organizational security measures designed to preserve the security and confidentiality of
Customer Content in accordance with the Security Addendum (“Security Measures”). Databricks
may update the Security Addendum and its Security Measures, provided that any updates shall
not materially diminish the overall security of Customer Content or the Covered Databricks
Services. Customer must review the Security Measures prior to providing Databricks with access
to Customer Content to determine that the Security Measures meet the Customer’s
requirements and obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws.
7. SECURITY BREACH
7.1 Breach Notifications. In the event of a Security Breach, Databricks shall provide written notice
to Customer without undue delay and in no event later than seventy-two (72) hours after
becoming aware of the Security Breach and will provide updates to Customer, including the type
of data affected and the identity of affected person(s) as soon as such information becomes
known to Databricks. Databricks will reasonably cooperate with Customer as required to fulfill
Customer’s obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws. Databricks shall take measures
and actions appropriate and reasonable to remedy or mitigate the effects of the Security Breach.
8.1 Audits. Databricks will utilize an independent third-party security professional to audit its
Security Measures. Such audit will be performed (i) at least annually; and (ii) according to ISO
27001 standards or such other alternative standards that are substantially equivalent to ISO
27001 (“ISMS Certification”).
8.2 Reports. At Customer’s written request no more than once per year, Databricks will provide
Customer with (i) its most current ISMS Certification; and (ii) a report from the audit affirming
that Databricks’ data security controls achieve industry standards under Service Organization
Controls No. 2 (SOC2) in accordance with AT-C 205 or such other alternative standards that are
substantially equivalent to SOC 2 Type 2 (“Report”). The Report and any summaries thereof will
constitute Databricks’ Confidential Information.
9. TRANSFER MECHANISM
9.1 Deployment Region. Customer can specify the location(s) in which Customer’s Platform Services
Workspace(s) will be deployed for the Customer in accordance with the Security Addendum and
Databricks will not move such Workspace(s) without the express permission of Customer.
9.2 Restricted Transfers. Subject to Section 9.3 below, where there is a Restricted Transfer of
Customer Personal Data to Databricks, such Restricted Transfer shall be governed by the
Standard Contractual Clauses, which shall be deemed incorporated into and form part of this
DPA in accordance with Annex B of this DPA.
9.3 Alternative Transfer Mechanism. To the extent that Databricks adopts an alternative data export
mechanism (including any new version of or successor to the Standard Contractual Clauses
adopted pursuant to Applicable Data Protection Laws (“Alternative Transfer Mechanism”)), the
Alternative Transfer Mechanism shall automatically apply instead of any applicable transfer
mechanism described in this DPA (but only to the extent such Alternative Transfer Mechanism
complies with Applicable Data Protection Laws applicable to Europe and extends to territories
to which Customer Personal Data is transferred).
The Platform Services include controls that Customer may use at any time during the term of the
Agreement to retrieve or delete Customer Content. Subject to the terms of the Agreement,
Databricks will delete Customer Content from the Platform Services when Customer uses such
controls to send an instruction to delete. Additionally, upon Customer’s written request upon
termination or expiration of the Agreement or upon Customer’s cancellation of a Platform
Services Workspace, Databricks will delete or assist Customer in deleting Customer’s Platform
Services Workspace(s) and will delete any Customer Content contained therein within 30 days
following the cancellation of such Workspace(s). Databricks may retain Customer Content where
permitted by applicable law. In such event, Databricks will (i) to the extent practical, isolate such
data; and (ii) protect such data from any further processing, except to the extent permitted by
applicable law.
11. GENERAL
11.1 The parties agree that this DPA shall replace any existing data processing addendum,
attachment, exhibit or standard contractual clauses that the parties may have previously
entered into in connection with the Covered Databricks Services.
11.2 This DPA may not be modified except by subsequent written agreement of the parties.
11.3 In no event shall this DPA benefit or create any right or cause of action on behalf of a third party
(including a third party controller), but without prejudice to the rights or remedies available to
data subjects under Applicable Data Protection Laws or this DPA (including the SCCs).
Databricks DPA 25 September 2021 Page 7
11.4 If any part of this DPA is held unenforceable, the validity of all remaining parts will not be
affected.
11.5 In the event of any conflict between this DPA and any data privacy provisions set out in any
agreements between the parties relating to the Covered Databricks Services, the parties agree
that the terms of this DPA shall prevail, provided that if and to the extent the Standard
Contractual Clauses conflict with any provision of this DPA, the Standard Contractual Clauses
control and take precedence. If there is any conflict between this DPA and a Business Associate
Agreement entered into between the parties (“BAA”), then the Business Associate Agreement
shall prevail to the extent of any conflict solely with respect to any PHI (as defined in such BAA).
11.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this DPA and to the maximum
extent permitted by law, each party’s and all of its Affiliates’ liability, taken together in the
aggregate, arising out of or related to this DPA (including all Annexes hereto), the SCCs or any
data protection agreements in connection with the Agreement (if any), whether in contract, tort
or under any other theory of liability, shall remain subject to the limitation of liability section of
the Agreement and any reference in such section to the liability of a party means the aggregate
liability of that party and all of its Affiliates under the Agreement and this DPA, including all
Annexes hereto. Customer agrees that any regulatory penalties incurred by Databricks that arise
in connection with Customer’s failure to comply with its obligations under this DPA or any laws
or regulations including Applicable Data Protection Laws shall reduce Databricks’ liability under
the Agreement as if such penalties were liabilities to Customer under the Agreement.
11.7 This DPA will be governed by and construed in accordance with the governing law and jurisdiction
provisions in the Agreement, unless required otherwise by Applicable Data Protection Laws.
11.8 The obligations placed upon each party under this DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses
shall survive so long as Databricks processes Customer Personal Data on behalf of Customer.
