-
-
Roles and scope of Processing.
-
Roles of the parties. In respect of Customer Personal Data, you are the Controller (or a Processor acting on behalf of another Controller) and we are the Processor. Where you are a Processor acting on behalf of a third-party Controller, you warrant that you are authorised to give the instructions and grant the rights and authorisations set out in this DPA on that Controller’s behalf.
-
Scope. The Processor obligations in clauses 3 to 13 apply to all situations where we Process Customer Personal Data as a Processor anywhere in the world in connection with the provision of Services and/or Materials. They are intended to support compliance with all Applicable Data Protection Laws, including in respect of any cross border transfers that may be involved.
-
MATTR as Controller. This clause 2.3 applies (instead of clauses 3 to 13) where we Process Personal Data as a Controller rather than as a Processor. We act as a Controller when we use Personal Data: (1) to comply with our legal obligations; (2) to administer and manage our relationship with you, including customer relationship and opportunity management, communications with you, and operational administration and support, including most processing of Customer Representative Information; (3) for billing, invoicing and collecting payment; (4) providing access to licensed software (e.g. SDKs) via repositories or package managers; (5) to monitor, prevent, detect and mitigate fraud, security risks, violations of our policies and terms, financial loss and other harms; and (6) as otherwise set out in our Privacy Policy. We are responsible for Processing such Personal Data in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws and as set out in our Privacy Policy.
-
-
Our obligations as Processor.
-
Processing on your instructions. The parties agree that this DPA and the Agreement (including you providing instructions via configuration tools, management consoles or APIs made available by us as part of the Services) constitute your documented instructions regarding our Processing of Customer Personal Data. Except where and to the extent otherwise required by a law to which we are subject, we will Process Customer Personal Data only in accordance with those documented instructions (which if you are acting as a Processor may be based on the instructions of your Controllers). Additional instructions outside the scope of, or inconsistent with, those documented instructions require prior written agreement between the parties, including on any additional Fees.
-
Conflict of laws. Taking into account the nature of the Processing, you agree that it is unlikely that we will be able to form an opinion on whether your documented instructions infringe applicable laws. If we do become aware that we cannot Process Customer Personal Data in accordance with your instructions due to a legal requirement to which we are subject, we will (i) promptly notify you of that legal requirement, to the extent permitted by law; and (ii) where necessary, cease all Processing (other than storing and maintaining the security of the affected Customer Personal Data) until you issue new instructions with which we are able to comply. We will not be liable for any failure to perform the affected Services during that period.
-
Restrictions on Processing. Except as set out in the Agreement, this DPA or as otherwise instructed by you, we will not Process Customer Personal Data for our own purposes.
-
Confidentiality of personnel. We will ensure that any of our Personnel authorised to Process Customer Personal Data are subject to appropriate obligations of confidentiality, whether a contractual or statutory duty, are made aware of the confidential nature of the Customer Personal Data and receive training on protecting Customer Personal Data.
-
Confidentiality and government demands. We will not access, use or disclose Customer Personal Data except as necessary to maintain or provide the Services and/or Materials, or as necessary to comply with the law or a valid and binding order of a governmental body (such as a production order, subpoena or other court order). If a governmental body sends us a demand for Customer Personal Data, we will attempt to redirect the governmental body to request that data directly from you, and may provide your basic contact information for that purpose. If we are compelled to disclose Customer Personal Data to a governmental body, we will give you reasonable prior notice of the demand to allow you to seek a protective order or other remedy, unless we are legally prohibited from doing so.
-
Assistance. Taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to us, we will provide reasonable assistance to you (chargeable at our standard rates, other than where the assistance arises from our breach) to enable you to comply with your obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws in relation to security, Personal Data Breach notification, data protection impact assessments, prior consultation with a Regulator, and responding to Data Subject Requests, in each case to the extent you are unable to address the matter yourself through the Services.
-
-
Security.
-
Security measures. We will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Customer Personal Data against Personal Data Breaches, as described in Annex 2 and consistent with our information security obligations under the Customer Agreement. We may update those measures from time to time provided that the updates do not result in a material degradation of the protection they provide.
-
Your security responsibilities. You are responsible for independently determining whether the security of the Services and/or Materials meets your obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws, and for your own secure configuration and use of the Services and/or Materials, including protecting Personal Data in transit to and from the Services and/or Materials and maintaining appropriate backups.
-
-
Personal Data Breaches.
-
Notification. If we think there has been a Personal Data Breach, we will let you know promptly and in any event within 48 hours (provided that in respect of a Personal Data Breach involving a Sub-Processor, the 48 hours will only commence on notification to us by the Sub-Processor, rather than the time the Sub-Processor itself became aware of it) and endeavour to give you information about what happened. Depending on the nature of the unauthorised access or disclosure, and the location of those affected, you (or if you are a Processor, the applicable Controller) may be required to assess whether the unauthorised access or disclosure must be reported to the Data Subjects and/or any Regulators. We will rely on you to make this decision, because you will have the most knowledge about the Customer Personal Data that may be affected.
-
Information and assistance. We will provide you with such information about the Personal Data Breach as we are reasonably able to disclose (taking into account the nature of the Processing, the information available to us and any confidentiality or legal constraints), and reasonable assistance, to enable you (or the applicable Controller) to meet any obligation to notify a Regulator or affected Data Subjects. You are responsible for determining whether any such notification is required and for making it.
-
No admission. Our notification of, or response to, a Personal Data Breach is not an acknowledgement by us of any fault or liability.
-
-
Data Subject Requests.
-
Self-service. Our Services provide you with controls that you can use to retrieve, correct, delete, restrict or export Customer Personal Data, which you can use to assist you in responding to requests from Data Subjects seeking to exercise their rights under Applicable Data Protection Laws (“Data Subject Requests”).
-
Assistance. To the extent you are unable to address a Data Subject Request through the Services, we will, on your written request, provide reasonable assistance (at our standard rates) to enable you to respond. If a Data Subject Request is made directly to us, we will promptly inform you and will advise the Data Subject to submit the request to you. You are solely responsible for responding to Data Subject Requests.
-
-
Sub-processors.
-
General authorisation. You provide a general authorisation for us to engage Sub-processors to Process Customer Personal Data on your behalf. You can find more detail about our current Sub-processors on the Sub-processor Page, as updated from time to time. This clause 7 applies only to the third parties listed under the “Data Sub-processors” heading on the Sub-processor page. For clarity, this clause 7 and our related notification and flow-down commitments do not apply to third parties that process only other data that does not constitute Customer Personal Data (who may nevertheless be listed on the Sub-processor Page), or to the third parties listed as “MATTR Service Providers” (which are addressed in clause 7.4).
-
Notice and objection. Except where required to resolve an urgent security incident or to urgently ensure the continued availability of the Services and/or Materials, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice (by updating the Sub-processor Page and, where you have subscribed, by email) before a new Sub-processor that Processes Customer Personal Data begins that Processing. If, within 15 days of that notice, you object on reasonable grounds relating to the protection of Customer Personal Data, the parties will discuss your concerns in good faith and work to reach a commercially reasonable resolution.
-
Flow-down and responsibility. Where we engage a Sub-processor to Process Customer Personal Data, we will enter into a written agreement with the Sub-processor imposing obligations providing a broadly equivalent level of protection for Customer Personal Data as those in this DPA, to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by the Sub-processor. We will restrict each Sub-processor’s access to Customer Personal Data to what is necessary to provide the Services and/or Materials, and remain responsible for each Sub-processor’s compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of the Sub-processor that cause us to breach this DPA.
-
Third parties engaged where we are a Controller. The third parties listed under the heading “MATTR Service Providers” on the Sub-processor Page support our own Processing of Personal Data as a Controller under clause 2.3 (for example, our customer relationship and opportunity management, communications with you, and billing and invoicing). They are not Sub-processors for the purposes of this clause 7, and our engagement of them is governed by clause 2.3 and our Privacy Policy rather than by the notification, objection and flow-down provisions of this clause 7.
-
-
Demonstration of compliance and audits.
-
Information and certifications. We will make available to you, on written request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, the information reasonably necessary to demonstrate our compliance with this DPA, including summaries of relevant independent certifications, audit reports (such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001, or substantially equivalent reports) and the results of third party security testing.
-
Our Audits. We will carry out external audits of our security measures used to protect Personal Data at least annually by independent third party security professionals. We will carry out these audits at our cost and generate an audit report in respect of the findings.
-
Your Audit rights. You choose to conduct any audit, including any inspection, you have the right to request or mandate on your own behalf and on behalf of your Controllers when you are acting as a Processor, under Applicable Data Protection Laws or the Standard Contractual Clauses, by instructing us to carry out the audit described in this clause 8. If you wish to change this instruction regarding the audit, then you have the right to request this by notifying us in writing and we will agree with you any alternative audit arrangements.
-
-
Return or deletion of Customer Personal Data.
- Our Services allow you to retrieve, delete and export Customer Personal Data, which you can use to delete or remove Customer Personal Data. On expiry or termination of the Agreement, we will automatically delete any Customer Personal Data (including copies) Processed under this DPA within a reasonable time. This is subject to any requirement of applicable law to retain some or all of the Customer Personal Data, and to secure isolation and protection of any Customer Personal Data retained on back-up systems until it is deleted in accordance with our deletion practices.
-
Your responsibilities and warranties.
-
Compliance. As between the parties, the way you collect Customer Personal Data prior to disclosing it to us and the way you choose to configure and use our Services and/or Materials in respect of Customer Personal Data is your responsibility. You are responsible for complying with all requirements that apply to you under Applicable Data Protection Laws in respect of your Processing of Personal Data and your instructions to us. You are solely responsible for: (i) the accuracy, quality and legality of Customer Personal Data and the means by which you acquired that data; (ii) complying with all transparency, lawful basis and consent requirements under Applicable Data Protection Laws for the collection and use of Customer Personal Data, including providing all required notices to, obtaining all required consents from and providing opt-outs to, Data Subjects; and (iii) ensuring you have the right to disclose, transfer, or provide access to, Customer Personal Data to us for Processing under the Agreement. You must ensure you comply with these responsibilities in respect of all End Users.
-
Process for compliance to specific laws. We will expressly agree with you in an Order Form under the Agreement if you or any of your End Users may provide to us: (i) European Data; (ii) “protected health information” pursuant to HIPAA; or (iii) credit card information or other data which requires PCI DSS compliance. Any such Order Form will include a privacy impact assessment in respect of the proposed Processing and detail any additional compliance steps to be taken to provide the Services and/or Materials pursuant to such laws or standards. Except to the extent agreed in an Order Form, you will not provide any such information to us for Processing in connection with the Agreement.
-
Warranties. You warrant that (i) the law applicable to you does not prevent us from fulfilling your instructions or performing our obligations under this DPA or the Agreement; and (ii) you have complied and will continue to comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws, including that you have obtained all necessary consents, given all necessary notices and provided all required opt-outs, and otherwise have a lawful basis, to disclose Personal Data to us and to enable the Processing described in this DPA and the Agreement.
-
Lawfulness of your instructions. You will not, by instruction or otherwise, require us to Process Personal Data in a manner that breaches Applicable Data Protection Laws, and will inform us without undue delay if you are unable to comply with your obligations under this clause 10 or under Applicable Data Protection Laws.
-
-
International data transfers — general.
-
Global Processing. You acknowledge and agree that we may access and Process Customer Personal Data in the Region and other locations specified in the Agreement, including access by our Personnel in New Zealand and Australia, and other locations where MATTR Affiliates and Sub-processors operate.
-
Adequate safeguards. Wherever Customer Personal Data is transferred outside the Region specified in the Agreement, we will put in place appropriate safeguards in respect of that transfer, including by applying the security measures in Annex 2, complying with clause 7 in respect of Sub-processors, and adhering to the data minimisation obligations under the Customer Agreement. This clause 11 states the baseline that applies to all transfers; clause 12 applies additionally to Restricted Transfers of European Data.
-
-
Additional provisions for European Data.
-
Scope. This clause 12 applies only to European Data that we Process on your behalf where we have expressly agreed with you in an Order Form that we will accept such European Data for Processing.

-
Transfer of European Data. We will not carry out a Restricted Transfer of European Data unless we have first ensured that the transfer is subject to an appropriate safeguard or transfer mechanism recognised under European Data Protection Laws. The parties will rely on the following mechanisms, in the following order of preference:
-
Adequacy. where the recipient is located in a country or territory recognised by the relevant authority as ensuring an adequate level of protection (for example, access by our Personnel from New Zealand, which benefits from a European Commission adequacy decision), the transfer will be made in reliance on that adequacy recognition;
-
Data Privacy Framework. where the recipient (for example, a US-based Sub-processor) is certified under, and the transfer is within the scope of, the Data Privacy Framework, the transfer will be made in reliance on that certification for so long as it remains valid; and
-
Standard Contractual Clauses. where neither paragraph (a) nor paragraph (b) applies to a Restricted Transfer, the parties will put in place the Standard Contractual Clauses in accordance with clause 12.4.
-
-
Standard Contractual Clauses. The Standard Contractual Clauses only apply to the extent separately signed by both parties using the form at Annex 4. The Standard Contractual Clauses may be signed by both parties to apply to a Restricted Transfer at any point after the date of this DPA.
-
Operation of the Standard Contractual Clauses. When executed under clause 12.4, the Standard Contractual Clauses will apply as follows: (i) Module Two (Controller to Processor) applies where you are a Controller, and Module Three (Processor to Processor) applies where you are a Processor; (ii) in Clause 7, the optional docking clause applies; (iii) in Clause 9, Option 2 (general written authorisation) applies, and changes to Sub-processors will be notified in accordance with clause 7 of this DPA with a time period of “at least 30 days”; (iv) in Clause 11, the optional independent dispute-resolution language does not apply; (v) in Clauses 17 and 18, the governing law and forum will be those of the Republic of Ireland unless the parties agree otherwise or European Data Protection Laws require another EU/EEA jurisdiction; (vi) the Annexes to the Standard Contractual Clauses are completed with the information in Annexes 1 to 3; and (vii) in relation to European Data subject to the UK GDPR or the Swiss DPA, the Standard Contractual Clauses apply as modified by the UK Addendum or for Switzerland (as applicable).

Additional provisions for California Personal Information.
-
Scope and roles. This clause 13 applies only to Customer Personal Data that is subject to the CCPA. For that data, you are a Business and we are a Service Provider.
-
Service Provider commitments. We will Process such Customer Personal Data only to provide the Services and/or Materials under the Agreement (the “business purpose”) or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA. We will not (i) Sell or Share the Personal Data; (ii) retain, use or disclose it for any purpose other than the business purpose, or outside the direct business relationship between the parties, unless permitted by the CCPA; or (iii) combine it with Personal Data received from another source, except as permitted by the CCPA. We will comply with the obligations applicable to us as a Service Provider under the CCPA and provide the same level of protection for the Personal Data as the CCPA requires.

Annex 2 — Security Measures
Information Security Governance
MATTR maintains an Information Security Management System (ISMS) supported by documented policies, procedures and defined responsibilities. Governance forums oversee security, privacy and operational risks, supported by a central Risk Register. Policies and procedures undergo formal annual reviews and ongoing updates.
Assurance and Compliance
MATTR reports SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27701:2025 certifications. Assurance activities include scheduled internal audits, periodic control reviews, external certification audits and annual independent code audits. Compliance reports, penetration testing results and external code reviews can be shared with customers as part of an ongoing relationship.
Personnel Security and Training
Employees and contractors receive mandatory security and privacy training during onboarding, supplemented by training relevant to their roles. Completion is tracked through a learning management system and reported to governance. Documented onboarding and offboarding procedures cover personnel checks, equipment allocation and access controls.
Supply Chain Risk Management
Vendors undergo onboarding and risk assessment, with vendors providing higher-risk services subject to a full cloud risk assessment covering security, privacy and availability. Ongoing reviews assess compliance and relevant security evidence. Vendor relationship managers support continued oversight, and MATTR publishes a list of its data sub-processors and key service providers.
Access Control and Authentication
MATTR applies zero trust and least privilege, granting personnel the minimum access required for their roles. Documented procedures govern access requests, approvals, provisioning, changes and removal. Controls include multifactor authentication, single sign-on, regular access reviews and detection of unauthorised access requests.
Physical and Environmental Security
Access to MATTR premises is restricted to authorised employees and contractors through physical access cards. Visitors must sign in, and security cameras record building entry and exit. Critical IT systems are hosted on cloud infrastructure, while on-premises equipment is limited to laptops and mobile test devices.
Network and Infrastructure Security
MATTR uses a virtual private cloud environment with private and public subnets to control network traffic. A web application firewall and application load balancer provide protection against malicious traffic. Company-issued devices use controlled VPN access, while mobile device management, antivirus and configuration standards protect endpoints.
Encryption and Key Management
MATTR encrypts sensitive data at rest and in transit. Encryption uses approved cryptographic algorithms to protect stored and transmitted data. TLS and SSH secure data in transit, while AES-GCM protects data at rest. MATTR key management practices are based on NIST 800-57 standards.
Secure Development and Change Management
Security assessments are incorporated throughout the software delivery lifecycle, including risk assessment, threat modelling and security testing. Changes are reviewed, tested, approved, documented and communicated, with fallback plans. Source code review and deployment approvals support segregation of duties, with designated approval required for pre-production and production changes.
Vulnerability Management and Security Testing
MATTR regularly identifies and manages vulnerabilities across internal systems and externally exposed services. Automated tools support infrastructure, code and third-party library vulnerability detection. Penetration testing follows a risk-based approach, with its need and scope determined by security assessments and the nature of changes.
Logging and Security Monitoring
MATTR centrally collects security logs and uses external managed detection and response and security operations centre services for monitoring and analysis. Internal teams maintain additional monitoring and alerting controls. Log access is restricted by role, retention follows the Data Management and Protection Plan, and sensitive information is masked or filtered before transmission to sub-processors.
Security Incident Management
Documented incident procedures cover functional defects, security events, service disruption, fraud and data breaches, supported by a 24/7 on-call roster. Assigned responders investigate, resolve and document incidents, with stakeholder updates and response expectations governed by customer SLAs. Significant incidents receive formal post-mortems, and governance forums track corrective actions.
Availability and Disaster Recovery
MATTR’s cloud deployments distribute workloads across multiple cloud availability zones within a single region. Business continuity and disaster recovery plans support recovery from disruption, with backups governed by frequency, retention, restoration and encryption requirements. Full disaster recovery tests occur at least annually, alongside regular tabletop exercises.
Data Segregation and Handling
MATTR classifies and handles information according to its sensitivity. Access to customer personal data is treated as privileged and restricted to personnel who require it for their roles. Production, staging and development environments are separated, and production data remains within the production environment.
Data Minimisation and Quality
MATTR’s capabilities are designed to avoid persistent storage of customer personal data wherever possible through transient processing and limited logging. MATTR maintains the integrity of data processed within its systems, while customers remain responsible for the accuracy of data they provide. Documented governance processes support data quality management.
Data Retention and Secure Deletion
MATTR retains data in accordance with documented retention periods. The removal of customer information, processing of privacy requests, management of backup retention and secure disposal of data and assets are carried out in accordance with documented procedures.
Annex 3 — Sub-processors
Our current Sub-processors and the location and purpose of each, are those who will process Customer Personal Data and are listed under the heading “Data Sub-processors” at https://learn.mattr.global/docs/resources/terms/data-sub-processors (Sub-processor Page) as updated from time to time in accordance with clause 7.
The third parties listed under the heading “MATTR Service Providers” on the Sub-processor Page support our own Processing of Personal Data as a Controller under clause 2.3, are not Sub-processors for the purposes of this DPA, and are not required to be listed in this Annex 3. Third parties that process only Your Content that does not contain Customer Personal Data are likewise not Sub-processors for the purposes of this DPA, even if listed at the webpage above.
Annex 4 — Standard Contractual Clauses
This Annex 4 only applies if separately signed by the parties (in addition to agreeing the terms of the DPA). It is for use when the parties agree that a Restricted Transfer of European Data requires the Standard Contractual Clauses and no other transfer mechanism under clause 12.3 is available. The Standard Contractual Clauses do not apply to the parties unless signed by both parties below.
Each party agrees to the terms of the following Standard Contractual Clauses in accordance with the configuration, details and selections specified in clause 12.5 of the DPA:
Data exporter (Customer)
| Signature | |
| Name | |
| Title | |
| Date |
Data importer (MATTR)
| Signature | |
| Name | |
| Title | |
| Date |
This Annex 4 incorporates the Standard Contractual Clauses at: https://learn.mattr.global/files/terms/mattr-dpa-annex-4-standard-contractual-clauses-28-10-26.pdf
