5.3. Samsara will remain responsible for the acts or omissions of Subprocessors to the same extent required by Data Protection Laws as if the acts or omissions were performed by Samsara “Subprocessor Liability”), and shall be permitted to re-perform or to procure the re-performance of any such obligations and Customer acknowledges and accepts that such re-performance shall diminish any claim that Customer has against Samsara in respect of any Subprocessor Liability.
6.Data Subject Requests
6.1. Where Samsara directly receives requests from Data Subjects, or anyone acting on their behalf, to exercise their rights under Data Protection Laws (“Data Subject Request”), and provided Samsara can reasonably identify from the information provided that such request relates to the Customer and/or Customer Personal Data, then unless prohibited by applicable law, Samsara will (a) promptly notify Customer of such request; and (b) not respond to any such request unless required by applicable law to which Samsara is subject, in which case Samsara will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, inform Customer of that legal requirement before the responding to such request. Samsara may require the Customer to bear the actual costs incurred as a result of the assistance provided in accordance with this Section based on the then currently applicable service rates of Samsara.
6.2. For avoidance of doubt, Customer is responsible as Data Controller for responding to Data Subject Requests. Samsara’s Services include technical and organizational measures that have been designed, taking into account the nature of its Processing, to assist Customer, insofar as this possible, in fulfilling its obligations to respond to Data Subject requests.
7. Personal Data Breach
7.1. Samsara will notify Customer without undue delay upon Samsara becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data. For the avoidance of any doubt, a Personal Data Breach shall not include (i) any incidents which are unlikely to result in a material risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons that are the subject of the Customer Personal Data; (ii) acts or omissions which do not breach Samsara’s security or the security of any Subprocessor; (iii) port scans, authorized penetration tests, and denial of service attacks; or (iv) any access to or Processing of Customer Personal Data that is consistent with Customer Instructions.

Samsara’s notification of, or response to, a Personal Data Breach shall not be construed as an acknowledgement by Samsara or, if relevant, its Subprocessors of any fault or liability with respect to the performance of Products. Samsara may require the Customer to bear the actual costs incurred as a result of the assistance provided in accordance with this Section based on the then currently applicable service rates of Samsara.
8. Data Protection Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation
8.1. At Customer’s request, Samsara will provide reasonable assistance to Customer with any data protection impact assessments and prior consultations with Supervising Authorities required by article 35 or 36 of the GDPR, in each case solely in relation to Samsara’s Processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement, and taking into account the nature of the Processing and information available to Samsara. Samsara reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee for such requested assistance, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
9. Audit rights
9.1. Samsara may retain independent third-party auditors to prepare a Service Organization Control 2 (Type I or II) report, or other industry-standard successor report (“Report”). Upon Customer’s written request, Samsara will provide to Customer at no cost a copy of the most recent Report, up to once a year. Such Reports will be Samsara’s Confidential Information under the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement. Customer agrees that the Reports will be used to satisfy any audit or inspection request by or on behalf of Customer in relation to Data Protection Laws, this Addendum, and/or Agreement.
9.2. If a Report is not available, Customer may request, upon 30 days’ prior written notice and up to once per calendar year, to perform a review at its own expense, with a scope, dates, duration, auditor and any security and/or confidentiality controls to be mutually agreed, of relevant Samsara policies and procedures governing Samsara’s handling of Customer Personal Data in connection with the Services, for purposes of verifying Samsara’s compliance with this Addendum. This review will be conducted in a manner that does not compromise confidentiality obligations to Samsara’s other customers. The parties acknowledge and agree that such policies and procedures are Samsara’s Confidential Information under the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement.
10. Data Transfers
10.1. Samsara may transfer Customer Personal Data to any country or territory, as reasonably necessary for the provision of the Services, consistent with this Addendum. Samsara is certified under the E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. To the extent that provision of Services under the Agreement involves a transfer of Customer Personal Data from Customer in the EU/EEA/Switzerland to Samsara in a location outside of the EU/EEA/Switzerland that has not been deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of data protection, the Privacy Shield Framework(s) will be the lawful transfer mechanism for Customer Personal Data. To the extent the transfer mechanism identified in this Section does not apply to such transfer, is invalidated and/or Samsara is no longer self-certified to the Privacy Shield Framework, Samsara agrees to abide by and process Customer Personal Data in compliance with the Standard Contractual Clauses (controller to processor) promulgated by the EU Commission Decision 2010/87/EU (“EU Model Clauses”) attached as Appendix C (including the appendices attached thereto), and subject to the interpretations set forth in Annex C, and for these purposes Samsara agrees that it is a "data importer" and Customer and/or its Affiliates, as applicable is/are the "data exporter" under the EU Model Clauses (notwithstanding that Customer and/or its Affiliates may be an entity or entities located outside of the EEA).
11. Retrieval and Deletion of Customer Personal Data
11.1. Customer hereby acknowledges and accepts the functionality of the Products and the data retention and deletion policies as provided to Customer by Samsara, which may impact Customer Personal Data. Samsara will enable Customer to delete Customer Personal Data during the term of the Agreement in a manner consistent with the functionality of the Products. Following termination or expiration of the Agreement, Customer will be entitled to retrieve its Customer Personal Data in accordance with the Agreement and Samsara will promptly delete Customer Personal Data from its systems following such retrieval period, unless applicable law requires storage of the Customer Personal Data.
APPENDIX A
DESCRIPTION OF PROCESSING ACTIVITIES
Subject Matter
Samsara’s provision of the Products to the Customer.
Duration of the Processing
The term of the Agreement plus the period from the expiry or termination of the Agreement until deletion of all Customer Data by Samsara in accordance with the Agreement. Specific Customer Personal Data may have specific data retention and deletion policies in place (e.g., video data from dash cameras utilized by the customers located in the EEA, which is uploaded to the Hosted Software have a six months retention policy and deletion schedule in place as a default setting; which the Customer accepts, which can be amended due to Customer requirements).
Nature and Purpose of the Processing
Samsara will process Customer Personal Data for the purposes of providing the Products to the Customer in accordance with, and as otherwise permitted by, the Agreement, and for any disclosures compelled by law.
Categories of Personal Data
Personal Data relating to individuals provided to Samsara via the Products, by (or at the direction of) Customer or by any employee or end user of the Customer which include, without limitation, names, contact information (e.g., company, email, address, telephone number), ID data, connection data, location data, profile pictures, and images and video captured by the Products (e.g., images of individuals inside a vehicle operating a dash cam, and other information capable of identifying individuals from such imagery e.g., vehicle registration and license plates, signposts for buildings, houses and other landmarks).
Data Subjects
Data subjects include the individuals about whom Personal Data is provided to Samsara via the Products by (or at the direction of) Customer or by any employee or end user of the Customer which include, without limitation, users, employees, officers, directors, contractors, agents, vendors, customers, clients, visitors, and such other individuals who may be captured by the Products.
Location of Processing
The Customer Personal Data may be Processed by Samsara and its Subprocessors in various locations and countries including, without limitation, in countries outside of the EEA in which Samsara or Subprocessors may maintain facilities, employees and/or infrastructure e.g., Amazon Web Services, Inc. in California, USA, for cloud hosting infrastructure services. Customer acknowledges and accepts that the applicable data protection laws and regulations in such countries may be less protective of individuals’ rights than that afforded in the EEA.
APPENDIX B
SECURITY DESCRIPTION
Samsara, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the Processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the legally protected interests of natural persons, shall implement the necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk when Processing Personal Data, in particular as regards the processing of special categories of Personal Data.
These measures may include pseudonymization and encryption of personal data, if such means are possible in view of the purposes of Processing.
In particular:
Samsara takes steps to restrict access to Customer Personal Data to Customer, its users, and authorized Samsara personnel and Subprocessors. In addition, Samsara has processes designed to protect its systems containing or accessing the Customer's Personal Data against Personal Data Breaches. The underlying infrastructure leverages Amazon AWS, which is ISO 27001 and SOC 1 Type II certified. Network devices, including firewall and other boundary devices, are in place to monitor and control communications at the external boundary of the network and at key internal boundaries within the network. These boundary devices employ rule sets, access control lists (ACL), and configurations to enforce the flow of information to specific information system services. ACLs, or traffic flow policies, are established on each managed interface, which manage and enforce the flow of traffic.
Data is logically separated across distributed databases with required authentication checks for every application-layer and data-layer access made to any tenant's data. The logical separation is designed to associate data with exactly one customer and required authentication checks at the application and data layers aim to isolate data by customer and accounts provisioned for that customer.
The Services employ a Virtual Private Cloud to provide resource isolation and minimize attack surface area. The Services are protected by IP- and port-based firewalls. Administrative access to Samsara’s infrastructure is restricted and verified by AWS Identity and Access Management. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks can be mitigated with elastic load balancing and highly available DNS services.
When a storage device containing Customer Personal Data has reached the end of its useful life, procedures include a decommissioning process that is designed to prevent the data from being exposed to unauthorized individuals. Techniques detailed in DoD 5220.22-M (“National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual “) or NIST 800-88 (“Guidelines for Media Sanitization”) are used to destroy data as part of the decommissioning process. All decommissioned magnetic storage devices are degaussed and physically destroyed in accordance with industry-standard practices.
Samsara implements measures designed to enhance the physical security of its networks, servers, cloud and other information systems in which Customer Data is stored, processed, transmitted, or accessed and to maintain them in a secure manner that satisfies the requirements of this Appendix.
Samsara reviews information technology security measures annually. On an annual basis a qualified independent third-party conducts penetration tests of Samsara’s system for security vulnerabilities. Samsara maintains suitable processes to identify, isolate and remediate security vulnerabilities.

The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any subprocessor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.
The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any subprocessor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any subprocessor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).
Clause 9
Governing Law
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
Clause 10
Variation of the contract
The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.
Clause 11
Subprocessing
The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the subprocessor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor's obligations under such agreement.
The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5 (j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter's data protection supervisory authority.
Clause 12
Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services
The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
The data importer and the subprocessor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.
APPENDIX 1 TO THE STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES
Please see details set forth in Appendix A to this Addendum
APPENDIX 2 TO THE STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES
Description of the technical and organisational security measures implemented by the data importer in accordance with Clauses 4(d) and 5(c) (or document/legislation attached):
The technical and organizational security measures implemented by the data importer are described in Appendix B of this Addendum
APPENDIX 3 TO THE STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES
Where the EU Model Clauses (Controller to Processor) ("EU Model Clauses") apply pursuant to Section 10 of the Addendum, then this Appendix 3 sets out the parties' interpretations of their respective obligations under specific provisions within the EU Model Clauses, as identified below. Where a party complies with the interpretations set out in this Appendix 3, that party shall be deemed by the other party to have complied with its commitments under the EU Model Clauses. When used below, the terms "data exporter" and "data importer" shall have the meaning given to them in the EU Model Clauses.
Nothing in the interpretations below is intended to vary or modify the EU Model Clauses or conflict with either party's rights or responsibilities under the EU Model Clauses and, in the event of any conflict between the interpretations below and the EU Model Clauses, the EU Model Clauses shall prevail to the extent of such conflict. Notwithstanding this, the parties expressly agree that any claims brought under the EU Model Clauses shall be exclusively governed by the limitations on liability set out in the Agreement. For the avoidance of any doubt, in no event shall any party limit its liability with respect to any data subject rights under the EU Model Clauses.
Clause 5(j): Disclosure of Subprocessor Agreements. The parties acknowledge the obligation of the data importer to send promptly a copy of any onward subprocessor agreement it concludes under the EU Model Clauses to the data exporter. Accordingly, the parties agree that upon the reasonable request of data exporter, data importer shall provide all relevant information evidencing compliance with Clause 5(j). Should the information provided by data importer be insufficient to demonstrate data importer’s compliance with Clause 5(j) then the parties shall promptly meet to discuss what information should be provided to demonstrate compliance with Clause 5(j). To the extent any information is provided in accordance with this Section, the parties agree such information provided to the data exporter shall constitute data importer’s Confidential Information under the Agreement and such information shall not be disclosed by data exporter to any third party without data importer’s prior written agreement.
Clause 6: Liability. Any claims brought under the EU Model Clauses shall be subject to the terms and conditions, including but not limited to, the exclusions and limitations of liability set forth in the Agreement (as defined in the DPA). In no event shall any party limit its liability with respect to any data subject rights under these EU Model Clauses.
Clause 11: Onward Subprocessing. The parties acknowledge that, pursuant to FAQ II.1 in Article 29 Working Party Paper WP 176 entitled “FAQs in order to address some issues raised by the entry into force of the EU Commission Decision 2010/87/EU of 5 February 2010 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors established in third countries under Directive 95/46/EC” the data exporter may provide a general consent to onward subprocessing by the data importer. Accordingly, data exporter provides a general consent to data importer, pursuant to Clause 11 of these EU Model Clauses, to engage onward subprocessors. Such consent is conditional on data importer’s compliance with the requirements set out in Section 5 of this Addendum.
