Roles of the Parties and Scope
2.1 This DPA applies where, and to the extent that, Cozmo Processes Customer Personal Data as a Processor on behalf of Customer, where Customer acts either as a Controller or as a Processor on behalf of a third-party controller. Where Customer is a Processor, Cozmo acts as a Sub-processor.

Cozmo's Processing of Customer Personal Data
3.1 Cozmo will Process Customer Personal Data for the purposes of providing the Services and as otherwise described in or contemplated by the Agreement and this DPA. Customer's documented instructions are constituted by the Agreement, this DPA, the applicable order form, and Customer's configuration and use of the Services.
3.2 Customer's instructions are deemed to include, and Customer authorizes, all Processing that Cozmo reasonably considers necessary, useful, or incidental to providing, operating, securing, supporting, analyzing, developing, and improving the Services and Cozmo's related technologies, as further described in Section 4. Cozmo determines the means of Processing in its discretion.
3.3 If Cozmo is required by law to Process Customer Personal Data other than as contemplated by this DPA, Cozmo may do so, and will inform Customer where it considers this appropriate and is legally permitted to do so.
Use of Data; Service Improvement; Ownership
4.1 Permitted Use
Customer authorizes Cozmo to, and Cozmo may, Process Customer Personal Data and any other data, content, inputs, and outputs made available through or generated by the Services, and any data, insights, learnings, configurations, or models derived from them, for the purposes of providing, operating, maintaining, securing, supporting, monitoring, analyzing, developing, enhancing, and improving the Services and Cozmo's other current and future products, technologies, models, and business operations, and for any other purpose described in or contemplated by the Agreement or this DPA.
4.2 Derived and De-Identified Data
Cozmo may create, compile, and retain aggregated, derived, learned, configured, statistical, and de-identified data and materials in connection with the Services. As between the Parties, all such data and materials, together with all software, models, algorithms, configurations, know-how, methods, and improvements developed, trained, refined, or otherwise generated in connection with the Services, are and remain owned exclusively by Cozmo, and Cozmo may use, retain, license, and otherwise exploit them for any lawful purpose, during and after the term of the Agreement, without restriction, accounting, or obligation to Customer.
4.3 Discretion and Flexibility
The means, methods, infrastructure, models, model providers, and Sub-processors used to deliver, secure, and improve the Services are selected and determined by Cozmo in its sole discretion and may change from time to time. Cozmo is not required to disclose the internal technical details of its Processing or of its products and models.
Confidentiality and Personnel
5.1 Cozmo will treat Customer Personal Data as Customer's Confidential Information under the Agreement and will not disclose it except as permitted by this DPA or required by law.
5.2 Cozmo will ensure that access to Customer Personal Data is limited to those personnel, contractors, and agents who need access to perform Cozmo's obligations, and that all such persons are bound by appropriate obligations of confidentiality and have received appropriate training in the protection of Personal Data.
Security
6.1 Cozmo will implement technical and organizational measures that it considers, in its reasonable discretion, appropriate to protect Customer Personal Data, having regard to the nature of the Services and generally accepted industry practice. A general, non-exhaustive description of the types of measures Cozmo may employ is set out in Annex II for information only.
6.2 Cozmo may add to, modify, or replace its security measures at any time in its discretion. The descriptions in Annex II do not create any specific or binding commitment, and Cozmo's sole security obligation is as set out in Section 6.1.
Sub-processors
7.1 General Authorization and Discretion
Customer grants Cozmo a general authorization to engage, appoint, replace, and remove Sub-processors (including Cozmo's affiliates) at any time and in Cozmo's discretion to Process Customer Personal Data in connection with the Services. A list of current Sub-processors may be made available by Cozmo on written request to founders@hellocozmo.ai.
7.2 Flow-Down
Cozmo will impose on its Sub-processors such data protection obligations as Cozmo considers appropriate. Cozmo's responsibility and liability for the acts and omissions of its Sub-processors is subject to, and limited by, the limitations and exclusions of liability set out in the Agreement and this DPA.
7.3 Notice and Objection
Cozmo may, but is not obligated to, notify Customer of changes to its Sub-processors. Customer's continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of the then-current Sub-processors. To the extent Applicable Data Protection Laws require an objection right, Customer's sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate the affected portion of the Services on written notice within thirty (30) days, without refund or further liability of Cozmo.
Assistance with Data Subject Requests
8.1 Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Cozmo will provide such assistance in responding to Data Subject Requests as Cozmo reasonably determines to be practicable, to the extent required by Applicable Data Protection Laws, and at Customer's expense.
8.2 If Cozmo receives a Data Subject Request directly, it will, to the extent legally permitted, promptly inform the Data Subject that the request should be directed to Customer, and will not respond except on Customer's documented instructions or as required by law.
Security Incidents
9.1 Cozmo will notify Customer within a reasonable period after Cozmo has confirmed a Security Incident that Cozmo determines to be material and to materially affect Customer Personal Data.
9.2 The notification will include such information regarding the Security Incident as Cozmo considers appropriate and as is reasonably available to Cozmo at the time. Cozmo may provide information in phases as it becomes available.
9.3 Cozmo will provide reasonable assistance to Customer in connection with Customer's investigation and mitigation of a Security Incident. Cozmo's notification of, or response to, a Security Incident is not an acknowledgment of fault or liability.
Deletion and Retention of Customer Personal Data
10.1 This DPA terminates automatically on termination or expiry of the Agreement.
10.2 Following termination or expiry of the Agreement, Cozmo may delete or retain Customer Personal Data in accordance with its standard practices and applicable law. On Customer's written request, Cozmo will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete or return Customer Personal Data within a reasonable period, except to the extent retention is permitted under Section 10.3 or is otherwise consistent with Cozmo's rights under this DPA.
10.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cozmo may retain (a) Customer Personal Data as permitted or required by law or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; (b) Customer Personal Data contained in routine backups and archives, which will be overwritten or deleted in the ordinary course; and (c) any aggregated, derived, learned, or de-identified data and materials described in Section 4, which Cozmo may retain and use indefinitely.
10.4 On Customer's reasonable request, Cozmo will confirm its handling of Customer Personal Data in such manner as Cozmo considers appropriate.
Audits, Reports, and Impact Assessments
11.1 Cozmo may, at its discretion and subject to confidentiality obligations, make available a then-current third-party audit report or certification (such as a SOC 2 report or ISO/IEC 27001 certification) if and to the extent Cozmo holds one. The provision of such materials, where available, satisfies Customer's information, audit, and inspection rights in full to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Data Protection Laws.
11.2 Customer has no right to conduct on-site audits or inspections of Cozmo's premises, systems, or personnel. To the extent an audit is strictly and unavoidably required by Applicable Data Protection Laws and cannot be satisfied under Section 11.1, the Parties will discuss in good faith a limited, remote, document-based review, subject to Cozmo's reasonable conditions, occurring no more than once in any twelve-month period, on reasonable prior written notice, in a manner that does not disrupt Cozmo's operations or require disclosure of other customers' data or Cozmo's confidential or proprietary information, and at Customer's expense.
11.3 Cozmo will provide such assistance with data protection impact assessments and prior consultations as Cozmo reasonably considers practicable, to the extent strictly required by Applicable Data Protection Laws and at Customer's expense.
International Data Transfers
12.1 Customer authorizes Cozmo to transfer Customer Personal Data outside the jurisdiction of origin where required to provide the Services, provided that such transfer is made: (a) to a jurisdiction recognized as providing an adequate level of protection by the relevant competent authority (including, for EEA-to-U.S. transfers, on the basis of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where applicable); (b) under the SCCs as completed by this Section 12; or (c) under another lawful transfer mechanism permitted by Applicable Data Protection Laws.
12.2 EEA Transfers
Where Customer Personal Data originating in the EEA is transferred to Cozmo in a country without an adequacy decision, the EEA SCCs are incorporated into this DPA and deemed entered into, completed as follows: (a) Module Two (Controller-to-Processor) applies where Customer is a Controller, and Module Three (Processor-to-Processor) applies where Customer is a Processor; (b) Cozmo is the "data importer" and Customer is the "data exporter"; (c) the docking clause in Clause 7 does not apply; (d) under Clause 9, Option 2 (general written authorization) applies, with the time period in Section 7.3; (e) the optional language in Clause 11(a) does not apply; (f) under Clause 17, the governing law is the law of Ireland; (g) under Clause 18(b), the courts of Ireland have jurisdiction; and (h) Annexes I and II serve as the corresponding Annexes to the EEA SCCs.
12.3 UK Transfers
Where Customer Personal Data subject to the UK GDPR is transferred, the UK Addendum is incorporated, with the "Approved EU SCCs" being the EEA SCCs as completed in Section 12.2.
12.4 Swiss Transfers
Where data is subject to the FADP, the EEA SCCs apply with references to the GDPR read as references to the FADP to the extent applicable; the competent authority is the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner; and "Member State" is interpreted so as not to deprive Data Subjects in Switzerland of the right to bring proceedings in their place of habitual residence.
12.5 UAE and ADGM Transfers
Transfers subject to the UAE PDPL or the ADGM DP Regulations will be made in accordance with the cross-border transfer provisions of those laws. As an entity incorporated in the Abu Dhabi Global Market, Cozmo will comply with its obligations under the ADGM DP Regulations in respect of such Processing.
12.6 If a transfer mechanism relied on under this Section 12 is invalidated, the Parties will work together in good faith to implement an alternative lawful mechanism without undue delay.
U.S. State Privacy Laws
13.1 This Section applies to the extent Cozmo Processes Customer Personal Data subject to the CCPA or other U.S. State Privacy Laws, in which case Cozmo acts as Customer's "service provider," "processor," or equivalent.
13.2 Cozmo will not: (a) Sell or Share Customer Personal Data; (b) retain, use, or disclose Customer Personal Data for any purpose other than the Business Purpose of providing the Services, or as otherwise permitted by U.S. State Privacy Laws; (c) retain, use, or disclose Customer Personal Data outside the direct business relationship between the Parties; or (d) combine Customer Personal Data with Personal Data from other sources, except as permitted by U.S. State Privacy Laws.
13.3 Cozmo will provide the level of privacy protection required of a service provider or processor under U.S. State Privacy Laws and will notify Customer if it determines it can no longer meet those obligations.
13.4 The Parties acknowledge that the exchange of Customer Personal Data is not part of any monetary or other valuable consideration exchanged under the Agreement.
Data Residency
14.1 Where Cozmo offers a data residency option for a particular jurisdiction, Customer may request that Customer Personal Data be hosted in that jurisdiction, subject to availability. Even where a residency option is selected, Customer Personal Data may be Processed outside the selected location to the extent necessary for: (a) the use of Sub-processors located elsewhere (subject to Sections 7 and 12); (b) support services; and (c) trust, safety, security, and content-moderation functions.
General
15.1 Order of Precedence
Except where Applicable Data Protection Laws expressly require otherwise, the Agreement prevails over this DPA in the event of any conflict. The SCCs prevail only to the extent of, and in respect of, the specific transfers they govern. Any ambiguity is to be resolved in a manner consistent with the rights, licenses, and protections reserved to Cozmo.
15.2 Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cozmo's total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with this DPA and its subject matter (including the SCCs) is subject to, and counts toward, the limitations and exclusions of liability set out in the Agreement.

Customer enters into this DPA on behalf of itself and, to the extent required under Applicable Data Protection Laws, its authorized affiliates that use the Services, and is responsible for their acts and omissions.
15.5 Changes
Cozmo may amend, update, or replace this DPA at any time in its discretion, effective upon posting an updated version or providing notice to Customer. Customer's continued use of the Services after the effective date of any change constitutes acceptance of it.
15.6 Ownership
All rights in the Services, and in all data, materials, models, configurations, and improvements described in Section 4, are reserved to and retained by Cozmo. No rights are granted to Customer by implication, estoppel, or otherwise except as expressly set out in the Agreement.

If any provision of this DPA is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
15.8 Governing Law
Except where Applicable Data Protection Laws or the SCCs require otherwise, this DPA is governed by the governing law of the Agreement.
15.9 Term
