b. Controller Instructions. The parties agree that the Agreement (including this DPA), together with Customer's use of the Subscription Service in accordance with the Agreement, constitute Customer’s complete and final Instructions to HubSpot in relation to the Processing of Personal Data, and additional instructions outside the scope of the Instructions shall require prior written agreement between Customer and HubSpot.

3. HubSpot Obligations

a. Compliance with Instructions. HubSpot shall only Process Personal Data for the purposes described in this DPA or as otherwise agreed within the scope of Customer’s lawful Instructions, except where and to the extent otherwise required by applicable law. HubSpot is not responsible for compliance with any Data Protection Laws applicable to Customer or Customer's industry that are not generally applicable to HubSpot.

b. Conflict of Laws. If HubSpot becomes aware that it cannot Process Personal Data in accordance with Customer's Instructions due to a legal requirement under any applicable law, HubSpot will (i) promptly notify Customer of that legal requirement to the extent permitted by the applicable law; and (ii) where necessary, cease all Processing (other than merely storing and maintaining the security of the affected Personal Data) until such time as Customer issues new Instructions with which HubSpot is able to comply. If this provision is invoked, HubSpot will not be liable to Customer under the Agreement for any failure to perform the applicable Subscription Services until such time as Customer issues new lawful Instructions with regard to the Processing.

c. Security. HubSpot shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data from Personal Data Breaches, as described under Annex 2 to this DPA ("Security Measures"). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, HubSpot may modify or update the Security Measures at its discretion provided that such modification or update does not result in a material degradation in the protection offered by the Security Measures.

d. Confidentiality. HubSpot shall ensure that any personnel whom HubSpot authorizes to Process Personal Data on its behalf is subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations (whether a contractual or statutory duty) with respect to that Personal Data.

e. Personal Data Breaches. HubSpot will notify Customer without undue delay after it becomes aware of any Personal Data Breach and shall provide timely information relating to the Personal Data Breach as it becomes known or reasonably requested by Customer. At Customer’s request, HubSpot will promptly provide Customer with such reasonable assistance as necessary to enable Customer to notify relevant Personal Data Breaches to competent authorities and/or affected Data Subjects, if Customer is required to do so under Data Protection Laws.

f. Deletion or Return of Personal Data. HubSpot will delete or return all Personal Data (including copies thereof) Processed pursuant to this DPA in accordance with the procedures and timeframes set out in the Agreement, save that this requirement shall not apply to the extent HubSpot is required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Personal Data, or to Personal Data it has archived on back-up systems, which data HubSpot shall securely isolate and protect from any further Processing and delete in accordance with its deletion practices.

4. Data Subject Requests

The Subscription Service provides Customer with a number of controls that Customer may use to retrieve, correct, delete or restrict Personal Data, which Customer may use to assist it in connection with its obligations under Data Protection Laws, including its obligations relating to responding to requests from Data Subjects to exercise their rights under applicable Data Protection Laws ("Data Subject Requests").

To the extent that Customer is unable to independently address a Data Subject Request through the Subscription Service, then upon Customer’s written request HubSpot shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer to respond to any Data Subject Requests or requests from data protection authorities relating to the Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement. Customer shall reimburse HubSpot for the commercially reasonable costs arising from this assistance.

If a Data Subject Request or other communication regarding the Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement is made directly to HubSpot, HubSpot will promptly inform Customer and will advise the Data Subject to submit their request to Customer. Customer shall be solely responsible for responding substantively to any such Data Subject Requests or communications involving Personal Data.

5. Sub-Processors

Customer agrees that HubSpot may engage Sub-Processors to Process Personal Data on Customer's behalf. HubSpot has currently appointed, as Sub-Processors, the HubSpot Affiliates and third parties listed on its Sub-Processors Page. HubSpot shall notify Customer if it adds or removes Sub-Processors listed on the Sub-Processor Page prior to any such changes, if Customer opts-in to receive such email notifications by completing the form available here.

Where HubSpot engages Sub-Processors, HubSpot will impose data protection terms on the Sub-Processors that provide at least the same level of protection for Personal Data as those in this DPA, to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Sub-Processors. HubSpot will remain responsible for each Sub-Processor’s compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of such Sub-Processor that cause HubSpot to breach any of its obligations under this DPA.

6. Data Transfers

Customer acknowledges and agrees that HubSpot may access and Process Personal Data on a global basis as necessary to provide the Subscription Service in accordance with the Agreement, and in particular that Personal Data will be transferred to and Processed by HubSpot, Inc. in the United States and to other jurisdictions where HubSpot Affiliates and Sub-Processors have operations. HubSpot shall ensure such transfers are made in compliance with the requirements of Data Protection Laws.

7. Additional Provisions for European Data

d. Notification and Objection to New Sub-Processors. HubSpot will notify Customer of any changes to Sub-processors by updating the Sub-Processors Page and will give Customer the opportunity to object to the engagement of the new Sub-Processor on reasonable grounds relating to the protection of Personal Data within 30 days after updating the Sub-Processors Page. If Customer does notify HubSpot of such an objection, the parties will discuss Customer's concerns in good faith with a view to achieving a commercially reasonable resolution. If no such resolution can be reached, HubSpot will, at its sole discretion, either not appoint the new Sub-Processor, or permit Customer to suspend or terminate the affected Subscription Service in accordance with the termination provisions of the Agreement without liability to either party (but without prejudice to any fees incurred by Customer prior to suspension or termination).

e. Data Protection Impact Assessments and Consultation with Supervisory Authorities. To the extent that the required information is reasonably available to HubSpot, and Customer does not otherwise have access to the required information, HubSpot will provide reasonable assistance to Customer with any data protection impact assessments, and prior consultations with supervisory authorities or other competent data privacy authorities to the extent required by European Data Protection Laws.

f. Transfer Mechanisms for Data Transfers.

(A) HubSpot shall not transfer European Data to any country or recipient not recognized as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data (within the meaning of European Data Protection Law), unless it first takes all such measures as are necessary to ensure the transfer is in compliance with applicable European Data Protection Laws.

(B) Customer acknowledges that in connection with the performance of the Subscription Services, HubSpot, Inc. is a recipient of European Data in the United States. The parties agree that HubSpot makes available the transfer mechanisms listed below:

(a) Standard Contractual Clauses: HubSpot, Inc. agrees to abide by and process European Data in compliance with the Standard Contractual Clauses, provided that notwithstanding the foregoing the parties agree that where the HubSpot contracting entity under the Agreement is not HubSpot, Inc., such contracting entity (not HubSpot, Inc.) will remain fully and solely responsible and liable to Customer for the performance of the Standard Contractual Clauses by HubSpot, Inc. If and to the extent the Standard Contractual Clauses (where applicable) conflict with any provision of this DPA, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail to the extent of such conflict.

(b) Privacy Shield: For as long as HubSpot, Inc. is self-certified to the Privacy Shield and to the extent that the Standard Contractual Clauses are revoked, or held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid the parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) HubSpot, Inc will be deemed to provide adequate protection for European Data (within the meaning of European Data Protection Laws) by virtue of having self-certified its compliance with Privacy Shield; (ii) HubSpot, Inc. shall process European Data in compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles; and (iii) if HubSpot, Inc is unable to comply with this requirement, HubSpot shall inform Customer.

g. Demonstration of Compliance. HubSpot shall make available to Customer all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections by Customer in order to assess compliance with this DPA. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it shall exercise its audit rights under this DPA by instructing HubSpot to comply with the audit measures described in this sub-section (g). Customer acknowledges that the Subscription Service is hosted by HubSpot's data center partners who maintain independently validated security programs (including SOC 2 and ISO 27001) and HubSpot's systems are regularly tested by independent third party penetration testing firms. Upon request, HubSpot shall supply (on a confidential basis) a summary copy of its penetration testing report(s) to Customer so that Customer can verify HubSpot's compliance with this DPA. Further, at Customer's written request, HubSpot will provide written responses (on a confidential basis) to all reasonable requests for information made by Customer necessary to confirm HubSpot's compliance with this DPA, provided that Customer shall not exercise this right more than once per calendar year.

8. Additional Provisions for California Personal Information

The parties agree that HubSpot will process California Personal Information as a Service Provider strictly for the purpose of performing the Subscription Services under the Agreement (the "Business Purpose"). HubSpot uses service data for its own legitimate Business Purpose as per our Product Privacy Policy. The parties agree that HubSpot shall not (a) Sell California Personal Information (as defined in the CCPA); (b) retain, use, or disclose California Personal Information for a commercial purpose other than for the Business Purpose or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA; or (c) retain, use, or disclose California Personal Information outside of the direct business relationship between Customer and HubSpot.

d. Certification. HubSpot certifies that it understands and will comply with the restrictions set out in Section 8(c) (Responsibilities).

9. General Provisions

a. Amendments.

10. Parties to this DPA

a. Permitted Affiliates. By signing the Agreement, Customer enters into this DPA on behalf of itself and, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, in the name and on behalf of its Permitted Affiliates, thereby establishing a separate DPA between HubSpot and each such Permitted Affiliate subject to the Agreement and Sections 9 and 10 of this DPA.

d. Other rights. The parties agree that Customer shall, when reviewing HubSpot's compliance with this DPA pursuant to Section 7(g) (Demonstration of Compliance), take all reasonable measures to limit any impact on Hubspot and its Affiliates by combining several audit requests carried out on behalf of the Customer entity that is the contracting party to the Agreement and all of its Permitted Affiliates in one single audit.

Annex 2 - Security Measures

This Annex forms part of the DPA.

HubSpot currently observes the Security Measures described in this Annex 2. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings as set forth in the Agreement.

a) Access Control

i) Preventing Unauthorized Product Access

Outsourced processing: HubSpot hosts its Service with outsourced cloud infrastructure providers. Additionally, HubSpot maintains contractual relationships with vendors in order to provide the Service in accordance with our Data Processing Agreement. HubSpot relies on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and vendor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these vendors.

Physical and environmental security: HubSpot hosts its product infrastructure with multi-tenant, outsourced infrastructure providers. The physical and environmental security controls are audited for SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance, among other certifications.

Authentication: HubSpot implemented a uniform password policy for its customer products. Customers who interact with the products via the user interface must authenticate before accessing non-public customer data.

Authorization: Customer Data is stored in multi-tenant storage systems accessible to Customers via only application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Customers are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure. The authorization model in each of HubSpot’s products is designed to ensure that only the appropriately assigned individuals can access relevant features, views, and customization options. Authorization to data sets is performed through validating the user’s permissions against the attributes associated with each data set.

Application Programming Interface (API) access: Public product APIs may be accessed using an API key or through Oauth authorization.

ii) Preventing Unauthorized Product Use

HubSpot implements industry standard access controls and detection capabilities for the internal networks that support its products.

Access controls: Network access control mechanisms are designed to prevent network traffic using unauthorized protocols from reaching the product infrastructure. The technical measures implemented differ between infrastructure providers and include Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) implementations, security group assignment, and traditional firewall rules.

Intrusion detection and prevention: HubSpot implemented a Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution to protect hosted customer websites and other internet-accessible applications. The WAF is designed to identify and prevent attacks against publicly available network services.

Static code analysis: Security reviews of code stored in HubSpot’s source code repositories is performed, checking for coding best practices and identifiable software flaws.

Penetration testing: HubSpot maintains relationships with industry recognized penetration testing service providers for four annual penetration tests. The intent of the penetration tests is to identify and resolve foreseeable attack vectors and potential abuse scenarios.

Bug bounty: A bug bounty program invites and incentivizes independent security researchers to ethically discover and disclose security flaws. HubSpot implemented a bug bounty program in an effort to widen the available opportunities to engage with the security community and improve the product defenses against sophisticated attacks.

iii) Limitations of Privilege & Authorization Requirements

Product access: A subset of HubSpot’s employees have access to the products and to customer data via controlled interfaces. The intent of providing access to a subset of employees is to provide effective customer support, to troubleshoot potential problems, to detect and respond to security incidents and implement data security. Access is enabled through “just in time” requests for access; all such requests are logged. Employees are granted access by role, and reviews of high risk privilege grants are initiated daily. Employee roles are reviewed at least once every six months.

Background checks: All HubSpot employees undergo a third-party background check prior to being extended an employment offer, in accordance with and as permitted by the applicable laws. All employees are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with company guidelines, non-disclosure requirements, and ethical standards.

b) Transmission Control

In-transit: HubSpot makes HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS) available on every one of its login interfaces and for free on every customer site hosted on the HubSpot products. HubSpot’s HTTPS implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates.

At-rest: HubSpot stores user passwords following policies that follow industry standard practices for security. HubSpot has implemented technologies to ensure that stored data is encrypted at rest.

c) Input Control

Detection: HubSpot designed its infrastructure to log extensive information about the system behavior, traffic received, system authentication, and other application requests. Internal systems aggregated log data and alert appropriate employees of malicious, unintended, or anomalous activities. HubSpot personnel, including security, operations, and support personnel, are responsive to known incidents.

Response and tracking: HubSpot maintains a record of known security incidents that includes description, dates and times of relevant activities, and incident disposition. Suspected and confirmed security incidents are investigated by security, operations, or support personnel; and appropriate resolution steps are identified and documented. For any confirmed incidents, HubSpot will take appropriate steps to minimize product and Customer damage or unauthorized disclosure. Notification to Customer will be in accordance with the terms of the DPA or Agreement.

d) Availability Control

Infrastructure availability: The infrastructure providers use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a minimum of 99.95% uptime. The providers maintain a minimum of N+1 redundancy to power, network, and HVAC services.

Fault tolerance: Backup and replication strategies are designed to ensure redundancy and fail-over protections during a significant processing failure. Customer data is backed up to multiple durable data stores and replicated across multiple availability zones.

Online replicas and backups: Where feasible, production databases are designed to replicate data between no less than 1 primary and 1 secondary database. All databases are backed up and maintained using at least industry standard methods.

HubSpot’s products are designed to ensure redundancy and seamless failover. The server instances that support the products are also architected with a goal to prevent single points of failure. This design assists HubSpot operations in maintaining and updating the product applications and backend while limiting downtime.

Annex 3 - Standard Contractual Clauses

For the purposes of Article 26(2) of Directive 95/46/EC for the transfer of personal data to processors established in third countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection,

Clause 1

Definitions

For the purposes of the Clauses:

‘personal data’, ‘special categories of data’, ‘process/processing’, ‘controller’, ‘processor’, ‘data subject’ and ‘supervisory authority’ shall have the same meaning as in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data;

‘the data exporter’ means the controller who transfers the personal data;

‘the data importer’ means the processor who agrees to receive from the data exporter personal data intended for processing on his behalf after the transfer in accordance with his instructions and the terms of the Clauses and who is not subject to a third country’s system ensuring adequate protection within the meaning of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC;

'the subprocessor’ means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other subprocessor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other subprocessor of the data importer personal data exclusively intended for processing activities to be carried out on behalf of the data exporter after the transfer in accordance with his instructions, the terms of the Clauses and the terms of the written subcontract;

‘the applicable data protection law’ means the legislation protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and, in particular, their right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data applicable to a data controller in the Member State in which the data exporter is established;

‘technical and organisational security measures’ means those measures aimed at protecting personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of data over a network, and against all other unlawful forms of processing.

Clause 2

Details of the transfer

The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of the Clauses.

Clause 5

Obligations of the data importer

The data importer agrees and warrants:

(a) to process the personal data only on behalf of the data exporter and in compliance with its instructions and the Clauses; if it cannot provide such compliance for whatever reasons, it agrees to inform promptly the data exporter of its inability to comply, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;

(b) that it has no reason to believe that the legislation applicable to it prevents it from fulfilling the instructions received from the data exporter and its obligations under the contract and that in the event of a change in this legislation which is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the warranties and obligations provided by the Clauses, it will promptly notify the change to the data exporter as soon as it is aware, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;

(c) that it has implemented the technical and organisational security measures specified in Appendix 2 before processing the personal data transferred;

(d) that it will promptly notify the data exporter about:

(i) any legally binding request for disclosure of the personal data by a law enforcement authority unless otherwise prohibited, such as a prohibition under criminal law to preserve the confidentiality of a law enforcement investigation;

(ii) any accidental or unauthorised access; and

(iii) any request received directly from the data subjects without responding to that request, unless it has been otherwise authorised to do so;

(e) to deal promptly and properly with all inquiries from the data exporter relating to its processing of the personal data subject to the transfer and to abide by the advice of the supervisory authority with regard to the processing of the data transferred;

(f) at the request of the data exporter to submit its data-processing facilities for audit of the processing activities covered by the Clauses which shall be carried out by the data exporter or an inspection body composed of independent members and in possession of the required professional qualifications bound by a duty of confidentiality, selected by the data exporter, where applicable, in agreement with the supervisory authority;

(g) to make available to the data subject upon request a copy of the Clauses, or any existing contract for subprocessing, unless the Clauses or contract contain commercial information, in which case it may remove such commercial information, with the exception of Appendix 2 which shall be replaced by a summary description of the security measures in those cases where the data subject is unable to obtain a copy from the data exporter;

(h) that, in the event of subprocessing, it has previously informed the data exporter and obtained its prior written consent;

(i) that the processing services by the subprocessor will be carried out in accordance with Clause 11;

(j) to send promptly a copy of any subprocessor agreement it concludes under the Clauses to the data exporter.

Clause 6

Liability

1. The parties agree that any data subject, who has suffered damage as a result of any breach of the obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 by any party or subprocessor is entitled to receive compensation from the data exporter for the damage suffered.

2. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The data importer may not rely on a breach by a subprocessor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.

3. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the subprocessor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data subprocessor with regard to its own processing operations under the Clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

Clause 7

Mediation and jurisdiction

1. The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:

(a) to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;
(b) to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

2. The parties agree that the choice made by the data subject will not prejudice its substantive or procedural rights to seek remedies in accordance with other provisions of national or international law.

Clause 8

Cooperation with supervisory authorities

1. The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.

2. 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.

3. 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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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

1. 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.

2. 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.
