Customer will ensure that it has obtained all necessary and appropriate consents from and provided notices to data subjects where required by Data Protection Law to enable the lawful transfer of any Customer Personal Data to Lucio for the duration and purposes of this DPA and the Lucio Agreement.

3. Security

3.1. Confidentiality of Personnel

Lucio will ensure that any of our personnel and any subcontractors who have access to Customer Personal Data are under an appropriate obligation of confidentiality.

We will implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks that are presented by the processing of Customer Personal Data.

3.3. Breach Notification

We will notify you without undue delay if we become aware of a personal data breach affecting Customer Personal Data.

4. Subprocessors

4.1. Authorized Subprocessors

You acknowledge and agree that we may retain our affiliates and other third parties to further process Customer Personal Data on your behalf as Subprocessors in connection with the provision of the Cloud Services. We maintain a current list of our Subprocessors on our Trust Centre, which we will update at least 30 days before the addition or replacement of any Subprocessor. You may also opt to receive email notifications of any change to our list of Subprocessors.

4.2. Objections to Subprocessors

In the event you have a reasonable objection to any new Subprocessor, either (A) we will if possible, continue to provide our Services, without such new sub-processor in accordance with the terms of the Lucio Agreement and any applicable Order Form, or (B) if we cannot provide the Services without the use of such Subprocessor, you may, as your sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Agreement and any applicable Order Form and receive a refund of any prepaid fees for unused Subscriptions.

4.3. Subprocessor Obligations

Lucio will impose on each Subprocessor the same data protection obligations as are imposed on us under this DPA. We will be liable to you for the performance of the Subprocessors' obligations to the extent required by Data Protection Law.

5. Data Subject Requests

5.1. To assist with your obligations to respond to requests from data subjects, the Lucio Platform provides Customer with the ability to retrieve, correct, or delete Customer Personal Data. Customer may use these controls to assist it in connection with its obligations under Data Protection Law, including its obligations related to any request from a data subject to exercise their rights under Data Protection Law (each, a “Data Subject Request”).

5.2. If a data subject contacts Lucio with a Data Subject Request that identifies Customer, to the extent legally permitted, we will promptly notify Customer. Solely to the extent that Customer is unable to access Customer Personal Data itself, and Lucio is legally permitted to do so, we will provide commercially reasonable assistance to Customer in responding to the Data Subject Request. To the extent legally permitted, Customer will be responsible for any costs arising from Lucio’s provision of such assistance, including any fees associated with the provision of additional functionality.

6. Requests for Customer Personal Data

6.1. If we receive a valid and binding legal order (“Request”) from any governmental body (“Requesting Party”) for disclosure of Customer Personal Data, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to redirect the Requesting Party to seek that Customer Personal Data directly from Customer.

6.2. If, despite our efforts, we are compelled to disclose Customer Personal Data to a Requesting Party, we will:

  • If legally permitted, promptly notify Customer of the Request to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If we are prohibited from notifying Customer, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of that prohibition;

  • Challenge any over-broad or inappropriate Request (including Requests that conflict with the law of the European Union); and

  • Disclose only the minimum amount of Customer Personal Data necessary to satisfy the Request.

7. Cooperation

Taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to us, at your request and cost, Lucio will provide reasonable assistance to ensure compliance with the obligations under applicable Data Protection Law with respect to implementing appropriate security measures, personal data breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators, in each case solely related to processing of Customer Personal Data by Lucio.

8. Customer Audit Rights

  • Upon Customer’s request, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in your Lucio Agreement, Lucio will make available to Customer (or Customer’s independent, third-party auditor) information regarding Lucio’s compliance with the security obligations set forth in this DPA in the form of third-party certifications and audits.

  • If that information is not sufficient to demonstrate our compliance with the security obligations in the DPA, you may contact Lucio in accordance with the notice provision of your Lucio Agreement to conduct your own audit, in the form of requesting information relevant to the protection of Customer Personal Data, only to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Law. Customer will reimburse Lucio for its reasonable costs associated with any such information collation and sharing.

  • Customer will promptly notify Lucio with information regarding any non-compliance discovered during the course of an audit, and Lucio will use commercially reasonable efforts to address any confirmed non-compliance.

9. Data Transfers

9.1. Data Deployment Locations

When required by Data Protection Law, any transfers by Customer of Customer Personal Data between different national jurisdictions will be governed by the transfer mechanisms described in Section 9.2 below.

9.2. Transfer Mechanism

As and when required by Data Protection Law, for transferring of Customer Personal Data between different national jurisdictions, Lucio will

  • Provide at least the same level of privacy protection to Customer Personal Data as is required by Data Protection Law

  • Notify Customer if Lucio makes a determination it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection as is required by Data Protection Law


  • Upon notice, take reasonable and appropriate steps to remediate unauthorized processing of Customer Personal Data. Where the transfer of Customer Personal Data is from the EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom to a territory which has not been recognized by the relevant authorities as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data according to Data Protection Law, Lucio agrees to process that Customer Personal Data in compliance with the provisions set out in Schedule 1 below, which forms an integral part of this DPA

10. Return or Deletion of Data

Customer may retrieve or delete all Customer Personal Data upon expiration or termination of the Lucio Agreement. Upon termination of your Lucio Agreement or upon your request, Lucio will delete any Customer Personal Data not deleted by Customer, subject to statutory archival requirements.

11. CCPA Obligations

For purposes of this Section 11, Customer Personal Data shall include “personal information” (as that term is defined under CCPA) that Customer uploads into the Cloud Services that is processed by Lucio. Lucio is a “service provider” as defined in CCPA.
