§ 02 · Roles and scope of processing
2.1 Role of the parties.
With respect to Personal Data processed in connection with the Services, the parties acknowledge and agree that: (a) Customer acts as Controller (or where Customer is itself a processor for another controller, as a processor); (b) Grizzly Systems acts as Processor (or sub-processor, as applicable); and (c) Grizzly Systems will process Personal Data only on documented instructions from Customer, except where required to do so by applicable law.
2.2 Documented instructions.
Customer’s documented instructions to Grizzly Systems are set out in: (a) the Agreement; (b) this DPA, including the processing details in Exhibit A; (c) Customer’s lawful use of the Services in accordance with the Documentation; and (d) any further written instructions agreed to in writing by the parties. Grizzly Systems will inform Customer if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes European Data Protection Laws.
2.3 Compliance with law.
Each party will comply with European Data Protection Laws and U.S. State Data Protection Laws applicable to it in its role under this DPA. Customer is responsible for ensuring it has a valid lawful basis under applicable law for its processing, including its instructions to Grizzly Systems.
2.4 AI training.
The parties acknowledge that under the Agreement and the Privacy Policy, Grizzly Systems may use Customer Data to train, improve, and develop its AI Models, subject to the opt-out described in Section 8.7 of the EULA. To the extent such training involves processing of Personal Data, the parties agree that this processing is performed on Customer’s documented instructions for the purpose of providing and improving the Services. Customer may opt out of this processing at any time as described in the Agreement; opt-out is effective with respect to Personal Data ingested after the opt-out is processed. Grizzly Systems’ use of Aggregated Data and Derived Data (as defined in the EULA) that does not identify any Data Subject is not subject to this DPA.
§ 03 · Processor obligations
3.1 Confidentiality of personnel.
Grizzly Systems will ensure that personnel authorized to process Personal Data are bound by written confidentiality obligations or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality. Personnel access to Personal Data is restricted to those who need it to perform their duties, subject to the access controls described in Exhibit B.
3.2 Security measures.
Grizzly Systems will implement and maintain the technical and organizational security measures set out in Exhibit B to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, 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 Data Subjects.
3.3 Personal Data Breach notification.
Grizzly Systems will notify Customer without undue delay, and where feasible no later than seventy-two (72) hours, after becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Personal Data processed under this DPA. The notification will include the information specified in Article 33(3) GDPR to the extent then known, including: (a) the nature of the breach; (b) the categories and approximate number of Data Subjects and records concerned; (c) likely consequences; and (d) measures taken or proposed to address the breach. Grizzly Systems will cooperate reasonably with Customer in investigating and remediating any Personal Data Breach.
3.4 Assistance with Data Subject requests.
Grizzly Systems will, taking into account the nature of the processing and insofar as possible, provide reasonable assistance to Customer by appropriate technical and organizational measures for the fulfillment of Customer’s obligation to respond to requests by Data Subjects to exercise their rights under European Data Protection Laws (including rights of access, rectification, restriction, erasure, data portability, objection, and not to be subject to automated decision-making). If Grizzly Systems receives a request directly from a Data Subject, it will (unless prohibited by law) inform the Data Subject to direct the request to Customer.
3.5 Assistance with data protection impact assessments.
Grizzly Systems will, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Grizzly Systems, provide reasonable assistance to Customer in carrying out data protection impact assessments and prior consultations with Supervisory Authorities under Articles 35 and 36 GDPR.
3.6 Return or deletion of Personal Data.
Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, Grizzly Systems will, at Customer’s choice, delete or return all Personal Data to Customer in accordance with the data export procedures described in the Agreement. Grizzly Systems will delete all existing copies unless applicable law requires storage of the Personal Data. Personal Data that has been incorporated into AI Models prior to deletion or return is not stored as Personal Data and is not subject to deletion under this Section 3.6; it remains in the form of model patterns and weights as described in the EULA.
3.7 Audits.
Grizzly Systems will make available to Customer all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA and Article 28 GDPR. Customer’s audit rights are satisfied in the first instance by Grizzly Systems’ provision of third-party audit reports (such as SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, or equivalent), industry-recognized certifications, and responses to reasonable security questionnaires. If Customer reasonably believes those materials are insufficient, Customer may, on reasonable prior written notice and not more than once per twelve (12) month period (except where required by a Supervisory Authority or after a Personal Data Breach), audit Grizzly Systems’ compliance with this DPA. Any such audit will be conducted during regular business hours, in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Grizzly Systems’ business activities, and subject to confidentiality obligations. Customer will bear its own costs and Grizzly Systems’ reasonable costs.
§ 04 · Sub-processors
4.1 General authorization.
Customer provides general authorization for Grizzly Systems to engage Sub-processors to process Personal Data, subject to the requirements of this Section 4. A current list of Sub-processors is set out in Exhibit C and at grizcam.com/sub-processors.
4.2 Notice of new Sub-processors.
Grizzly Systems will provide Customer with at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of the addition of any new Sub-processor, by updating the list at grizcam.com/sub-processors and (if Customer has subscribed) by email. Customer may object to the engagement of a new Sub-processor on reasonable grounds related to data protection by providing written notice within fifteen (15) days of the notice. The parties will work together in good faith to address Customer’s objection. If the parties cannot reach a resolution, Customer may, as its sole remedy, terminate the affected portion of the Services on written notice, and Grizzly Systems will refund any prepaid fees for the terminated portion covering the period after termination.
4.3 Sub-processor obligations.
Grizzly Systems will enter into a written agreement with each Sub-processor that imposes data protection obligations no less protective than those imposed on Grizzly Systems under this DPA. Grizzly Systems remains liable to Customer for the acts and omissions of its Sub-processors as if they were its own.

If, during the term of this DPA, the European Commission, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, or the Swiss Federal Council issues an adequacy decision covering Grizzly Systems’ processing of Personal Data, the parties will rely on such adequacy decision as the transfer mechanism and the SCCs will be of no further effect to the extent superseded by that adequacy decision.
§ 06 · U.S. State Data Protection Laws
6.1 Service provider / processor status.
With respect to Personal Data subject to the CCPA or other U.S. State Data Protection Laws, Grizzly Systems acts as a “service provider” or “processor” (as those terms are defined under the applicable law) and not as a “third party.” Grizzly Systems certifies that it understands and will comply with the restrictions set out in this Section 6.

§ 07 · Liability
The liability of each party (and each party’s Affiliates) under this DPA is subject to the limitations of liability set out in the Agreement. Nothing in this DPA limits or excludes the liability of a party to the extent such limitation or exclusion is not permitted by applicable law (including for Data Subjects’ direct claims under the SCCs).
§ 08 · Term and termination
This DPA is effective for the term of the Agreement, and survives termination of the Agreement to the extent necessary to give effect to its terms (including Section 3.6 and Section 5).
§ 09 · General provisions
9.1 Order of precedence.
In the event of any conflict between (a) the body of this DPA, (b) the SCCs (and the UK IDTA Addendum and Swiss adaptation, as applicable), and (c) the Agreement: the SCCs prevail over the body of this DPA and the Agreement; the body of this DPA prevails over the Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this DPA.
9.2 Severability.
If any provision of this DPA is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. The parties will negotiate in good faith to replace any invalid provision with a valid one that achieves the original intent to the maximum extent permitted by law.
9.3 Updates.
Grizzly Systems may update this DPA from time to time to address changes in applicable law, regulatory guidance, or industry standards, by posting an updated DPA at grizcam.com/dpa and notifying Customer. Updates that materially reduce Customer’s protections under this DPA will not apply to Customer without Customer’s written consent.
