For the purposes of the Vendor Agreement and this Addendum, Five9 is the sole Party that determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Information as the “business” or “controller,” and Vendor processes Personal Information on behalf of Five9 as the “service provider” or “processor” as such terms are defined in the applicable Privacy Laws per Section 1.7 above. The details of the processing are provided in Annex 1 of this Addendum, including the duration, nature, and purpose of the processing, and the type(s) of Personal Information subject to the processing.

3. FIVE9 INSTRUCTIONS

Five9 instructs Vendor to process, and Vendor shall process, Personal Information in accordance with the Vendor Agreement, any Addendum thereto, any applicable Statement of Work or Service Order, and in compliance with other documented reasonable written instructions provided by authorized personnel of Five9, where such instructions are consistent with the terms of the Vendor Agreement.

4. PARTIES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

4.1 Each Party is responsible (i) for its own compliance with the Privacy Laws, where applicable; and (ii) with respect to the processing of Personal Information hereunder, for ensuring its employees, agents, and subprocessors understand and shall comply with the Privacy Laws and applicable terms of this Addendum. Each Party agrees that it will notify the other Party upon determining that it is unable to process Personal Information in compliance with the Privacy Laws. 

4.2 Five9 shall ensure any processing of Personal Information is in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Privacy Laws.  Five9 has the sole responsibility for the accuracy of Personal Information and the means by which Five9 acquired Personal Information.

4.3 Vendor will (i) implement and maintain the reasonable technical and organizational security measures to safeguard Personal Information as described in Annex 2 (Technical and Organizational Measures Including Technical and Organizational Measures to Secure Data); (ii) provide the level of privacy protection required by applicable Privacy Laws; and (iii) shall provide Five9 with reasonable assistance to enable Five9 to fulfill its own obligations under applicable Privacy Laws.

4.4 Vendor, its employees, agents, and sub-processors are subject to a duty of confidentiality with respect to Personal Information.  Vendor will not (i) “sell” or “share” (as each are defined under the applicable US Privacy Laws) Personal Information, (ii) retain, use, or disclose Personal Information outside of Five9’s instructions set forth In Section 3 above or for any commercial purpose not specified in the Vendor Agreement, or (iii) when prohibited by applicable Privacy Laws, combine Personal Information received from Five9 with Personal Information that Vendor receives from, or on behalf of, another person or persons, or collects from its own interactions with consumers.

4.5 Vendor agrees to notify Five9 if Vendor makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligations under the Privacy Laws.  Upon receiving such notice, or when it otherwise becomes aware of Vendor’s unauthorized use of Personal Information, Five9 may take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate such unauthorized use.

5. SUB-PROCESSORS

5.1 Appointment. Vendor shall engage sub-processors that process Personal Information only with Five9’s general written authorization.  Vendor shall notify Five9 of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of sub-processors. Further, Vendor shall ensure that Vendor’s sub-processors who collect, process, store, or transmit Personal Information on Vendor’s behalf agree in writing to the same restrictions and requirements that apply to Vendor in this Addendum and the Vendor Agreement with respect to Personal Information, as well as to comply with the Privacy Laws.

5.2 Right to Object. Five9 may object in writing to Vendor’s appointment of a new sub-processor by notifying Vendor in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of notice. In the event Five9 objects, Vendor will use reasonable efforts to make available to Five9 a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Five9’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid processing of Personal Information by the objected-to new sub-processor without unreasonably burdening Five9. If Vendor is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed sixty (60) days, Five9 may terminate the applicable ordering or purchasing documents with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by Vendor without the use of the objected-to new sub-processor by providing written notice to Vendor. Vendor will refund Five9 any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of such ordering or purchasing documents following the effective date of termination with respect to such terminated Services, without imposing a penalty for such termination on Five9.

5.3 Re-identification. Vendor will not, and will not allow its sub-processors to, re-identify any de-identified, anonymized, or pseudonymized data derived from Personal Information, unless instructed by Five9 in writing (email is sufficient).

6. CONSUMER AND DATA SUBJECT REQUESTS

Vendor shall, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify Five9 of any request it has received from a data subject or consumer (for purposes of this section, both referred to as a “data subject”) arising from a data subject’s rights of access, deletion, correction, or portability, each such request being a “Data Subject Request.” Vendor shall not respond to a Data Subject Request itself, except that Five9 authorizes Vendor to redirect the Data Subject Request as necessary to allow Five9 to respond directly. Taking into account the nature of the processing, Vendor shall assist Five9 by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfillment of Five9’s obligation to respond to a Data Subject Request under the Privacy Laws. In addition, to the extent Five9, in its use of the Services, does not have the ability to address a Data Subject Request, Vendor shall upon Five9’s request, provide commercially reasonable efforts to assist Five9 in responding to such Data Subject Request, to the extent Vendor is legally permitted to do so and the response to such Data Subject Request is required under the Privacy Laws. 

7. SECURITY CONTROLS

7.1 Security Measures. Vendor shall implement and maintain reasonable technical and organizational security measures, procedures, and practices appropriate to the nature of the Personal Information to protect such Personal Information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure (“Security Measures”).

7.2 Security Incident. Vendor will inform Five9 without undue delay upon Vendor’s having become aware of any unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure (each, a “Security Incident”) of any Personal Information (to include, without limitation, any personal data breach as defined by the Privacy Laws). Vendor will provide Five9 with any information and cooperation reasonably requested by Five9 regarding such Security Incident. Vendor shall not provide notice to any third party of such Security Incident without the prior written consent of Five9 unless required by applicable law.

7.3 Security Program. Vendor shall implement a comprehensive written security program that includes industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to ensure the confidentiality, security, and integrity of Personal Information. Upon Five9’s reasonable request, Vendor will provide Five9 with documentation that demonstrates its compliance with this Section.

8. DATA RETENTION, USE, AND DESTRUCTION

At the end of the provision of the Services, Vendor shall, at the choice of Five9, delete all Personal Information and certify to Five9 that it has done so, or return to Five9 all Personal Information and delete existing copies. Until the Personal Information is deleted or returned, Vendor shall continue to ensure compliance with the Privacy Laws.
