2. DETAILS OF THE PROCESSING

2.1 Categories of Data Subjects.

Controller’s Contacts and other end users including Controller’s employees, contractors, collaborators, customers, prospects, suppliers and subcontractors. Data Subjects also include individuals attempting to communicate with or transfer Personal Data to the Controller’s end users.

2.2 Types of Personal Data.

Contact Information, the extent of which is determined and controlled by the Customer in its sole discretion, and other Personal Data such as navigational data (including website usage information), email data, system usage data, application integration data, and other electronic data submitted, stored, sent, or received by end-users via the Subscription Service.

2.3 Subject-Matter and Nature of the Processing.

The subject matter of Processing of Personal Data by Processor is the provision of the services to the Controller that involves the Processing of Personal Data. Personal Data will be subject to those Processing activities as may be specified in the Agreement and an Order.

2.4 Purpose of the Processing.

Personal Data will be processed for purposes of providing the services set out and otherwise agreed to in the Agreement and any applicable Order.

2.5 Duration of the Processing.

Personal Data will be processed for the duration of the Agreement, subject to Section 4 of this DPA.

3. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY

Within the scope of the Agreement and in its use of the services, Controller shall be solely responsible for complying with the statutory requirements relating to data protection and privacy, in particular regarding the disclosure and transfer of Personal Data to the Processor and the Processing of Personal Data.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Controller’s instructions for the Processing of Personal Data shall comply with the Data Protection Law. This DPA is the Customer’s complete and final instruction to Octopus Data Inc. in relation to Personal Data and that additional instructions outside the scope of DPA would require a prior written agreement between the parties.

Instructions shall initially be specified in the Agreement and may, from time to time thereafter, be amended, amplified or replaced by Controller in separate written instructions (as individual instructions).

The controller shall inform the Processor without undue delay and comprehensively about any errors or irregularities related to statutory provisions on the Processing of Personal Data.

4. OBLIGATIONS OF PROCESSOR

4.1 Compliance with Instructions.

The parties acknowledge and agree that the Customer is the Controller of Personal Data and Octopus Data Inc. is the Processor of that data. Processor shall collect, process, and use Personal Data only within the scope of Controller’s Instructions.

If the Processor believes that an Instruction of the Controller infringes the Data Protection Law, it shall immediately inform the Controller without delay. If Processor cannot process Personal Data in accordance with the instructions due to a legal requirement under any applicable European Union or Member State law, Processor will

  1. promptly notify the Controller of that legal requirement before the relevant Processing to the extent permitted by the Data Protection Law; and
  2. cease all Processing (other than merely storing and maintaining the security of the affected Personal Data) until such time as the Controller issues new instructions with which Processor is able to comply. If this provision is invoked, Processor will not be liable to the Controller under the Agreement for any failure to perform the applicable services until such time as the Controller issues new instructions in regard to the Processing.

4.2 Security

Processor shall take the appropriate technical and organizational measures to adequately protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data, described under Annex 2 to the Standard Contractual Clauses. Such measures include, but are not be limited to:

  1. the prevention of unauthorized persons from gaining access to Personal Data Processing systems (physical access control),
  2. the prevention of Personal Data Processing systems from being used without authorization (logical access control),
  3. ensuring that persons entitled to use a Personal Data Processing system gain access only to such Personal Data as they are entitled to accessing in accordance with their access rights, and that, in the course of processing or use and after storage, Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified or deleted without authorization (data access control),
  4. ensuring that Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified, or deleted without authorization during electronic transmission, transport, or storage on storage media and that the target entities for any transfer of Personal Data by means of data transmission facilities can be established and verified (data transfer control),
  5. ensuring the establishment of an audit trail to document whether and by whom Personal Data has been entered into, modified in, or removed from Personal Data Processing systems (entry control),
  6. ensuring that Personal Data is Processed solely in accordance with the Instructions (control of instructions),
  7. ensuring that Personal Data is protected against accidental destruction or loss (availability control).

Upon Controller’s request, Processor shall provide a current Personal Data protection and security program relating to the Processing hereunder.

The processor will facilitate Controller’s compliance with the Controller’s obligation to implement security measures with respect to Personal Data (including if applicable Controller’s obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 34 (inclusive) of the GDPR), by

  1. Implementing and maintaining the security measures described under Appendix 2,
  2. Complying with the terms of Section 4.4 (Personal Data Breaches); and
  3. Providing the Controller with information in relation to the processing in accordance with Section 5 (Audits).

4.3 Confidentiality

Processor shall ensure that any personnel whom Processor authorizes to process Personal Data on its behalf is subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to that Personal Data. The undertaking to confidentiality shall continue after the termination of the above-entitled activities.

4.4 Personal Data Breaches

Processor will notify the Controller as soon as practicable after it becomes aware of any of any Personal Data Breach affecting any Personal Data. At the Controller’s request, Processor will promptly provide the Controller with all reasonable

Assistance necessary to enable the Controller to notify relevant Personal Data Breaches to competent authorities and/or affected Data Subjects, if Controller is required to do so under the Data Protection Law.

4.5 Data Subject Requests.

Processor will provide reasonable assistance, including by appropriate technical and organizational measures and taking into account the nature of the Processing, to enable Controller to respond to any request from Data Subjects seeking to exercise their rights under the Data Protection Law with respect to Personal Data (including access, rectification, restriction, deletion or portability of Personal Data, as applicable), to the extent permitted by the law. If such request is made directly to Processor, Processor will promptly inform Controller and will advise Data Subjects to submit their request to the Controller. Controller shall be solely responsible for responding to any Data Subjects’ requests. Controller shall reimburse Processor for the costs arising from this assistance.

4.6 Sub-Processors.

Processor shall be entitled to engage sub-Processors to fulfil Processor’s obligations defined in the Agreement only with Controller’s written consent. For these purposes, Controller consents to the engagement as sub-Processors of Processor’s affiliated companies and the third parties If the Processor intends to instruct sub-Processors other than the companies listed in Exhibit 2. For the avoidance of doubt, the above authorization constitutes Controller’s prior written consent to the sub-Processing by Processor for purposes of Clause 11 of the Standard Contractual Clauses.

If the Processor intends to instruct sub-Processors other than the companies listed in Exhibit 2, the Processor will notify the Controller thereof in writing (email to the email address(es) on record in Processor’s account information for Controller is sufficient) and will give the Controller the opportunity to object to the engagement of the new sub-Processors within 30 days after being notified. The objection must be based on reasonable grounds (e.g. if the Controller proves that significant risks for the protection of its Personal Data exist at the sub-Processor). If the Processor and Controller are unable to resolve such objection, either party may terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to the other party. Controller shall receive a refund of any prepaid but unused fees for the period following the effective date of termination.

Where Processor engages sub-Processors, Processor will enter into a contract with the sub-Processor that imposes on the sub-Processor the same obligations that apply to Processor under this DPA. Where the sub-Processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations, Processor will remain liable to the Controller for the performance of such sub-Processors obligations.

Where a sub-Processor is engaged, the Controller must be granted the right to monitor and inspect the sub-Processor’s activities in accordance with this DPA and the Data Protection Law, including to obtain information from the Processor, upon written request, on the substance of the contract and the implementation of the data protection obligations under the sub-Processing contract, where necessary by inspecting the relevant contract documents.

The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall mutually apply if the Processor engages a sub-Processor in a country outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data. If, in the performance of this DPA, Octopus Data Inc. transfers any Personal Data to a sub-processor located outside of the EEA, Octopus Data Inc. shall, in advance of any such transfer, ensure that a legal mechanism to achieve adequacy in respect of that processing is in place.

4.7 Data Transfers.

Controller acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with the performance of the services under the Agreement, Personal Data will be transferred to Octopus Data Inc., Inc. in the United States. Octopus Data Inc., Inc. has certified to the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks as administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, in order to implement appropriate safeguards for such transfers pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR. The Standard Contractual Clauses at Exhibit 1 will apply with respect to Personal Data that is transferred outside the EEA, either directly or via onward transfer, to any country not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data (as described in the Data Protection Law).

4.8 Deletion or Retrieval of Personal Data.

Other than to the extent required to comply with Data Protection Law, following termination or expiry of the Agreement, Processor will delete all Personal Data (including copies thereof) processed pursuant to this DPA. If Processor is unable to delete Personal Data for technical or other reasons, Processor will apply measures to ensure that Personal Data is blocked from any further Processing.

The controller shall, upon termination or expiration of the Agreement and by way of issuing an Instruction, stipulate, within a period of time set by Processor, the reasonable measures to return data or to delete stored data. Any additional cost arising in connection with the return or deletion of Personal Data after the termination or expiration of the Agreement shall be borne by Controller.

5. AUDITS

Controller may, prior to the commencement of Processing, and at regular intervals thereafter, audit the technical and organizational measures taken by Processor.

For such purpose, Controller may, e.g.，

  1. Obtain information from the Processor,
  2. Request Processor to submit to Controller an existing attestation or certificate by an independent professional expert, or
  3. Upon reasonable and timely advance agreement, during regular business hours and without interrupting Processor’s business operations, conduct an on-site inspection of Processor’s business operations or have the same conducted by a qualified third party which shall not be a competitor of Processor.
  4. Processor shall, upon Controller’s written request and within a reasonable period of time, provide Controller with all information necessary for such audit, to the extent that such information is within Processor’s control and Processor is not precluded from disclosing it by applicable law, a duty of confidentiality, or any other obligation owed to a third party.

6. GENERAL PROVISIONS

With respect to updates and changes to this DPA, the terms that apply in the “Amendment; No Waiver” section of “Miscellaneous” in the Agreement shall apply.

In case of any conflict, this DPA shall take precedence over the regulations of the Agreement. Where individual provisions of this DPA are invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this DPA shall not be affected.

Upon the incorporation of this DPA into the Agreement, the parties indicated in Section 7 below (Parties to this DPA) are agreeing to the Standard Contractual Clauses (where and as applicable) and all appendixes attached thereto. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses in Exhibit 1, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail.

  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 unauthorized access; and

  iii. any request received directly from the data subjects without responding to that request, unless it has been otherwise authorized 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;

Clause 6

Liability

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.

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 of 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.

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

a) 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:

b) to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;

c) to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

d) 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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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: Octopus Data Inc. 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 Octopus Data Inc.’s source code repositories is performed, checking for coding best practices and identifiable software flaws.

Penetration testing: Octopus Data Inc. 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. Octopus Data Inc. 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 Octopus Data Inc.’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 Octopus Data Inc. employees undergo a third-party background check prior to being extended an employment offer, in accordance with 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: Octopus Data Inc. 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 Octopus Data Inc. products. Octopus Data Inc.’s HTTPS implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates.

At-rest: Octopus Data Inc. stores user passwords following policies that follow industry standard practices for security. With effect 25 May 2018, Octopus Data Inc. has implemented technologies to ensure that stored data is encrypted at rest.

c) Input Control

Detection: Octopus Data Inc. 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. Octopus Data Inc. personnel, including security, operations, and support personnel, are responsive to known incidents.

Response and tracking: Octopus Data Inc. 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, Octopus Data Inc. will take appropriate steps to minimize product and Customer damage or unauthorized disclosure.

Communication: If Octopus Data Inc. becomes aware of unlawful access to Customer data stored within its products, Octopus Data Inc. will:

  1. notify the affected Customers of the incident;
  2. provide a description of the steps Octopus Data Inc. is taking to resolve the incident; and
  3. provide status updates to the Customer contact, as Octopus Data Inc. deems necessary. Notification(s) of incidents, if any, will be delivered to one or more of the Customer’s contacts in a form Octopus Data Inc. selects, which may include via email or telephone.

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.

Octopus Data Inc.’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 Octopus Data Inc. operations in maintaining and updating the product applications and backend while limiting downtime.

EXHIBIT 2 DATA PROCESSING ADDENDUM

Introduction

This Data Processing Addendum (“Addendum”) is entered into as part of the Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) between Octopus Data Inc. (“the Processor”) and the data controller (“the Controller”). This Addendum governs the processing of personal data related to the AI-powered features (“AI Features”) provided by Octopus Data Inc. through its product, Octoparse AI, which are powered by large language models (LLMs) from third-party providers.

For the purposes of this Addendum, Octopus Data Inc. (the Processor) will be referred to as the Processor and the entity that determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data is the Controller.

AI Features are specific tools within the Octoparse AI platform that leverage advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) technologies to assist users in automating tasks, generating code, and integrating AI into workflows. These features include:

  • AI Command: A no-code technology that allows users to integrate large language models into automation workflows, enabling the processing and extraction of data with minimal programming.
  • AI Scripter: A tool that enables users to generate Python scripts using natural language input, making it easier to create complex automation workflows without writing the code manually.

The use of these AI Features is governed by the AI Feature Terms as outlined below. Octopus Data Inc. reserves the right to update the list of AI Features from time to time and will notify the Controller of any changes that may impact data processing activities.

LLM Providers: Octopus Data Inc. currently uses LLMs hosted by two third-party providers, Anthropic and OpenAI, to power its AI Features.
