3. Cloudflare obligations

3.1 With respect to all Personal Data it processes in its role as a Processor or sub-Processor, Cloudflare warrants that it shall:

(a) only process Personal Data for the limited and specified business purpose of providing the Services and in accordance with: (i) the Customer's written instructions as set out in the Main Agreement and this DPA, unless required to do so by applicable Union or Member State law to which Cloudflare is subject, and (ii) the requirements of Applicable Data Protection Laws. In the event Cloudflare is required to process Personal Data under Applicable Data Protection Laws, Cloudflare shall inform the Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest;

(b) not use the Personal Data for the purposes of marketing or advertising;

(c) implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks that are presented by the processing of Personal Data, in particular protection against the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data. Such measures include, without limitation, the security measures set out in Annex 2 (“Security Measures”). Customer acknowledges that the Security Measures are subject to technical progress and development and that Cloudflare may update or modify the Security Measures from time to time, provided that such updates and modifications do not degrade or diminish the overall security of the Service;

(d) ensure that only authorized personnel have access to such Personal Data and that any persons whom it authorizes to have access to the Personal Data are under contractual or statutory obligations of confidentiality;

(e) without undue delay notify the Customer upon becoming aware of any breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed for the purpose of providing the Services to Customer by Cloudflare, its sub-Processors, or any other identified or unidentified third party (a “Personal Data Breach”) and provide the Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance in respect of that Personal Data Breach, including all reasonable information in Cloudflare’s possession concerning such Personal Data Breach insofar as it affects the Personal Data;

(f) not make any public announcement about a Personal Data Breach (a “Breach Notice”) without the prior written consent of the Customer, unless required by applicable law;

(g) to the extent Cloudflare is able to verify that a data subject is associated with the Customer, promptly notify the Customer if it receives a request from a data subject to exercise any data protection rights (including rights of access, rectification or erasure) in respect of that data subject’s Personal Data (a “Data Subject Request”). Cloudflare shall not respond to a Data Subject Request without the Customer’s prior written consent except to confirm that such request relates to the Customer, to which the Customer hereby agrees;

(h) to the extent Cloudflare is able, and in line with applicable law, provide reasonable assistance to Customer in responding to a data subject request to exercise any data protection rights under Applicable Data Protection Laws (including rights of access, rectification or erasure) in respect of that data subject’s Personal Data if the Customer does not have the ability to address a Data Subject Request without Cloudflare’s assistance. The Customer is responsible for verifying that the requestor is the data subject in respect of whose Personal Data the request is made. Cloudflare bears no responsibility for information provided in good faith to Customer in reliance on this subsection. Customer shall cover all costs incurred by Cloudflare in connection with its provision of such assistance;

(i) other than to the extent required to comply with applicable law, following termination or expiry of the Main Agreement or completion of the Service, at the choice of Customer, delete or return all Personal Data (including copies thereof) processed pursuant to this DPA;

(j) taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to Cloudflare, provide such assistance to the Customer as the Customer reasonably requests in relation to Cloudflare’s obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws with respect to:

(i) data protection impact assessments and prior consultations (as such terms are defined in Applicable Data Protection Laws);

(ii) notifications to the supervisory authority under Applicable Data Protection Laws and/or communications to data subjects by the Customer in response to any Personal Data Breach; and

(iii) the Customer’s compliance with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws with respect to the security of processing;

provided that the Customer shall cover all costs incurred by Cloudflare in connection with its provision of such assistance; and

(k) notify Customer if, in Cloudflare’s opinion, any instructions provided by the Customer under clause 3.1(a) infringe Applicable Data Protection Laws, or if Cloudflare otherwise makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws

3.2 To the extent that Cloudflare is processing Personal Data on behalf of the Customer within the scope of the CCPA, Cloudflare makes the following additional commitments to Customer: Cloudflare will not retain, use, or disclose that Personal Data for any purposes other than the purposes set out in the Main Agreement and this DPA and as permitted under the CCPA, including under any “sale” exemption. Cloudflare will not “sell” or “share” such Personal Data, as those terms are defined in the CCPA. This clause 3.2 does not limit or reduce any data protection commitments Cloudflare makes to Customer in the Main Agreement or this DPA.

3.3 Cloudflare certifies that it understands and will comply with the obligations and restrictions in clauses 2 and 3, and the Applicable Data Protection Laws.

4. Sub-processing

4.1 Cloudflare will disclose Personal Data to sub-Processors only for the specific purpose of providing the Services.

4.2 Cloudflare will ensure that any sub-Processor it engages to provide an aspect of the Service on its behalf in connection with this DPA does so only on the basis of a written contract which imposes on such sub-Processor terms (i.e., data protection obligations) that are no less protective of Personal Data than those imposed on Cloudflare in this DPA (the “Relevant Terms”). Cloudflare shall procure the performance by such sub-Processor of the Relevant Terms and shall be liable to the Customer for any breach by such sub-Processor of any of the Relevant Terms.

4.3 The Customer grants a general written authorization: (a) to Cloudflare to appoint other members of the Cloudflare Group as sub-Processors, and (b) to Cloudflare and other members of the Cloudflare Group to appoint third party data center operators, and business, engineering and customer support providers as sub-Processors to support the performance of the Service.

4.4 Cloudflare will maintain a list of sub-Processors at __https://www.cloudflare.com/gdpr/subprocessors/__ and will add the names of new and replacement sub-Processors to the list at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which those sub-Processors commence processing of Personal Data. If Customer objects to any new or replacement sub-Processor on reasonable grounds related to data protection, it shall notify Cloudflare of such objections in writing within ten (10) days of the notification and the parties will seek to resolve the matter in good faith. If Cloudflare is reasonably able to provide the Service to the Customer in accordance with the Main Agreement without using the sub-Processor and decides in its discretion to do so, then Customer will have no further rights under this clause 4.4 in respect of the proposed use of the sub-Processor. If Cloudflare, in its discretion, requires use of the sub-Processor and is unable to satisfy Customer’s objection regarding the proposed use of the new or replacement sub-Processor, then Customer may terminate the applicable Order Form effective upon the date Cloudflare begins use of such new or replacement sub-Processor solely with respect to the Service(s) that will use the proposed new sub-Processor for the processing of Personal Data. If Customer does not provide a timely objection to any new or replacement sub-Processor in accordance with this clause 4.4, Customer will be deemed to have consented to the sub-Processor and waived its right to object.

5. Audit and records

5.1 Cloudflare shall, in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws, make available to Customer such information in Cloudflare’s possession or control as Customer may reasonably request with a view to demonstrating Cloudflare’s compliance with the obligations of Processors under Applicable Data Protection Laws in relation to its processing of Personal Data.

5.2 Cloudflare may fulfill Customer’s right of audit under Applicable Protection Laws in relation to Personal Data, by providing:

(a) an audit report not older than thirteen (13) months, prepared by an independent external auditor demonstrating that Cloudflare’s technical and organizational measures are sufficient and in accordance with an accepted industry audit standard;

(b) additional information in Cloudflare’s possession or control to a data protection supervisory authority when it requests or requires additional information in relation to the processing of Personal Data carried out by Cloudflare under this DPA; and

(c) To the extent that Customer’s Personal Data is subject to the EU SCCs and the information made available pursuant to this clause 5.2 is insufficient, in Customer’s reasonable judgment, to confirm Cloudflare’s compliance with its obligations under this DPA or Applicable Data Protection Laws, then Cloudflare shall enable Customer to request one onsite audit per annual period during the Term (as defined in the Main Agreement) to verify Cloudflare’s compliance with its obligations under this DPA in accordance with clause 5.3.

5.3 The following additional terms shall apply to audits the Customer requests:

(a) Customer must send any requests for reviews of Cloudflare’s audit reports to customer-compliance@cloudflare.com.

(b) Following receipt by Cloudflare of a request for audit under clause 5.2(c), Cloudflare and Customer will discuss and agree in advance on the reasonable start date, scope, duration of, and security and confidentiality controls applicable to any audit under clause 5.2(c). Whenever possible, evidence for such an audit will be limited to the evidence collected for Cloudflare’s most recent third-party audit.

(c) Cloudflare may charge a fee (based on Cloudflare’s reasonable costs) for any audit under clause 5.2(c). Cloudflare will provide Customer with further details of any applicable fee, and the basis of its calculation, in advance of any such audit. Customer will be responsible for any fees charged by any auditor appointed by Customer to execute any such audit.

(d) Cloudflare may object in writing to an auditor appointed by Customer to conduct any audit under clause 5.2(c) if the auditor is, in Cloudflare’s reasonable opinion, not suitably qualified or independent, a competitor of Cloudflare, or otherwise manifestly unsuitable (i.e., an auditor whose engagement may have a harmful impact on Cloudflare’s business comparable to the aforementioned aspects). Any such objection by Cloudflare will require Customer to appoint another auditor or conduct the audit itself. If the EU SCCs (including as they may be amended in clause 6.2 below) applies, nothing in this clause 5.3 varies or modifies the EU SCCs nor affects any supervisory authority’s or data subject’s rights under the EU SCCs.

6. Data transfers from the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK

6.1 In connection with the Service, the parties anticipate that Cloudflare (and its sub-Processors) may process outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, certain Personal Data protected by European Data Protection Laws in respect of which Customer or a member of the Customer Group may be a Controller (or Processor on behalf of a third-party Controller, as applicable).

6.2 The parties agree that when the transfer of Personal Data protected by European Data Protection Laws from Customer or any member of the Customer Group to Cloudflare is a Restricted Transfer, then the appropriate standard contractual clauses and additional safeguards shall apply as follows:

In any event, Clause 17 and 18 (b) shall be consistent in that the choice of forum and jurisdiction shall fall on the country of the governing law;

(vii) Annex I of the EU SCCs shall be deemed completed with the information set out in Annex 1 to this DPA; and

(viii) Annex II of the EU SCCs shall be deemed completed with the information set out in Annex 2 to this DPA.

(c) Swiss Transfers: in relation to Personal Data that is protected by the Swiss FADP (as amended or replaced), the EU SCCs, completed as set out about in clause 6.2(a) of this DPA, shall apply to transfers of such Personal Data, except that:

(i) the competent supervisory authority in respect of such Personal Data shall be the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner;

(ii) in Clause 17, the governing law shall be the laws of Switzerland;

(iii) references to “Member State(s)” in the EU SCCs shall be interpreted to refer to Switzerland, and data subjects located in Switzerland shall be entitled to exercise and enforce their rights under the EU SCCs in Switzerland; and

(iv) references to the “General Data Protection Regulation”, “Regulation 2016/679” or “GDPR” in the EU SCCs shall be understood to be references to the Swiss FADP (as amended or replaced).

(d) The following terms shall apply to the EU SCCs (including as they may be amended under clauses 6.2(b)(ii) and 6.2(b)(iii) above):

(i) Customer may exercise its right of audit under the EU SCCs as set out in, and subject to the requirements of, clause 5 of this DPA; and

(ii) Cloudflare may appoint sub-Processors as set out in, and subject to the requirements of, clauses 4 and 6.3 of this DPA, and Customer may exercise its right to object to sub-Processors under the EU SCCs in the manner set out in clause 4.4 of this DPA.

(e) In the event that any provision of this DPA contradicts, directly or indirectly, the EU SCCs (and the UK Addendum, as appropriate), the latter shall prevail.

6.3 In respect of Restricted Transfers made to Cloudflare under clause 6.2, Cloudflare shall not participate in (nor permit any sub-Processor to participate in) any further Restricted Transfers of Personal Data (whether as an “exporter” or an “importer” of the Personal Data) unless such further Restricted Transfer is made in full compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws and, if applicable, any EU SCCs and/or UK Addendum implemented between Customer and Cloudflare.

6.4 Customer acknowledges that Cloudflare complies with the Data Privacy Framework and that transfers of Customer Data to Cloudflare made under the Data Privacy Framework shall not be a Restricted Transfer. Cloudflare will notify Customer if its Data Privacy Framework certification lapses or is otherwise invalidated, in which instance any transfers of Personal Data from Customer to Cloudflare shall immediately be deemed a Restricted Transfer and the provisions of Section 6.2 shall apply.

6.5 In the event Customer seeks to conduct any assessment of the adequacy of Cloudflare’s transfers to any particular countries or regions, Cloudflare shall, to the extent it is able, provide reasonable assistance to Customer for the purpose of any such assessment, provided Customer shall cover all costs incurred by Cloudflare in connection with its provision of such assistance.

7. Third Party Data Access Requests

7.1 If Cloudflare becomes aware of any third party legal process requesting Personal Data that Cloudflare processes on behalf of Customer in its role as Processor or sub-Processor (as applicable) then Cloudflare will:

(a) immediately notify Customer of the request unless such notification is legally prohibited;

(b) inform the third party that it is a Processor or sub-Processor (as applicable) of the Personal Data and is not authorized to disclose the Personal Data without Customer’s consent;

(d) to the extent Cloudflare provides access to or discloses Personal Data in response to third party legal process either with Customer authorization or due to a mandatory legal compulsion, then Cloudflare will disclose the minimum amount of Personal Data to the extent it is legally required to do so and in accordance with the applicable legal process.

7.2 In Cloudflare’s role as a Processor or sub-Processor, as applicable, it may be subject to third party legal process issued by a government authority (including a judicial authority) and requesting access to or disclosure of Personal Data. If Cloudflare becomes aware of any third party legal process issued by a government authority (including a judicial authority) requesting Personal Data that Cloudflare processes on behalf of Customer in its role as Processor or sub-Processor (as applicable) then, to the extent that Cloudflare reviews the request with reasonable efforts and as a result is able to identify that such third party legal process requesting Personal Data raises a conflict of law, Cloudflare will:

(a) take all actions identified in clause 7.1 above;

(b) pursue legal remedies prior to producing Personal Data up to an appellate court level; and

(c) not disclose Personal Data until (and then only to the extent) required to do so under applicable procedural rules.

7.3 Clauses 7.1 and 7.2 shall not apply in the event that Cloudflare has a good-faith belief the government request is necessary due to an emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to an individual. In such event, Cloudflare shall notify Customer of the data disclosure as soon as possible following the disclosure and provide Customer with full details of the same, unless such disclosure is legally prohibited.

7.4 Cloudflare will provide Customer with regular updates about third party legal process requesting Personal Data in the form of Cloudflare’s semiannual Transparency Report, which is available at https://www.cloudflare.com/transparency/.

Technical and Organizational Security Measures

Cloudflare has implemented and shall maintain an information security program in accordance with ISO/IEC 27000 standards. Cloudflare’s security program shall include:

*Measures of encryption of Personal Data*

Cloudflare implements encryption to adequately protect Personal Data using:

state-of-the-art encryption protocols designed to provide effective protection against active and passive attacks with resources known to be available to public authorities;

trustworthy public-key certification authorities and infrastructure;

effective encryption algorithms and parameterization, such as a minimum of 128-bit key lengths for symmetric encryption, and at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key lengths for asymmetric algorithms.

*Measures for ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services*

Cloudflare enhances the security of processing systems and services in production environments by:

employing a code review process to increase the security of the code used to provide the Services; and testing code and systems for vulnerabilities before and during use;

maintaining an external bug bounty program;

using checks to validate the integrity of encrypted data, and

employing preventative and reactive intrusion detection.

Cloudflare deploys high-availability systems across geographically-distributed data centers.

Cloudflare implements input control measures to protect and maintain the confidentiality of Personal Data including:

an authorization policy for the input, reading, alteration and deletion of data;

authenticating authorized personnel using unique authentication credentials (passwords) and hard tokens;

automatically signing-out user IDs after a period of inactivity;

protecting the input of data, as well as the reading, alteration and deletion of stored data; and

requiring that data processing facilities (the rooms housing the computer hardware and related equipment) are kept locked and secure.

*Measures for ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident*

Cloudflare implements measures to ensure that Personal Data is protected from accidental destruction or loss, including by maintaining:

disaster-recovery and business continuity plans and procedures;

geographically-distributed data centers;

redundant infrastructure, including power supplies and internet connectivity;

backups stored at alternative sites and available for restore in case of failure of primary systems; and

incident management procedures that are regularly tested.

*Processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures in order to ensure the security of the processing*

Cloudflare’s technical and organizational measures are regularly tested and evaluated by external third-party auditors as part of Cloudflare’s Security & Privacy Compliance Program. These may include annual ISO/IEC 27001 audits; AICPA SOC 2 Type II; PCI DSS Level 1; and other external audits. Measures are also regularly tested by internal audits, as well as annual and targeted risk assessments.

*Measures for user identification and authorization*

Cloudflare implements effective measures for user authentication and privilege management by:

applying a mandatory access control and authentication policy;

applying a zero-trust model of identification and authorization;

authenticating authorized personnel using unique authentication credentials and strong multi-factor authentication, including requiring the use of physical hard tokens;

allocating and managing appropriate privileges according to role, approvals, and exception management; and

applying the principle of least privilege access.

*Measures for the protection of data during transmission*

Cloudflare implements effective measures to protect Personal Data from being read, copied, altered or deleted by unauthorized parties during transmission, including by:

using state-of-the-art transport encryption protocols designed to provide effective protection against active and passive attacks with resources known to be available to public authorities;

using trustworthy public-key certification authorities and infrastructure;

implementing protective measures against active and passive attacks on the sending and receiving systems providing transport encryption, such as adequate firewalls, mutual TLS encryption, API authentication, and encryption to protect the gateways and pipelines through which data travels, as well as testing for software vulnerabilities and possible backdoors;

employing effective encryption algorithms and parameterization, such as a minimum of 128-bit key lengths for symmetric encryption, and at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key lengths for asymmetric algorithms;

using correctly implemented and properly maintained software, covered under a vulnerability management program, and tested for conformity by auditing;

enforcing secure measures to reliably generate, manage, store and protect encryption keys; and

audit logging, monitoring, and tracking data transmissions.

*Measures for the protection of data during storage*

Cloudflare implements effective measures to protect Personal Data during storage, controlling and limiting access to data processing systems, and by:

using state-of-the-art encryption protocols designed to provide effective protection against active and passive attacks with resources known to be available to public authorities;

using trustworthy public-key certification authorities and infrastructure;

testing systems storing data for software vulnerabilities and possible backdoors;

employing effective encryption algorithms and parameterization, such as requiring all disks storing Personal Data to be encrypted with AES-XTS using a key length of 128-bits or longer.

using correctly implemented and properly maintained software, covered under a vulnerability management program, and tested for conformity by auditing;

enforcing secure measures to reliably generate, manage, store and protect encryption keys;

identifying and authorizing systems and users with access to data processing systems;

automatically signing-out users after a period of inactivity; and

audit logging, monitoring, and tracking access to data processing and storage systems.

Cloudflare implements access controls to specific areas of data processing systems to ensure only authorized users are able to access the Personal Data within the scope and to the extent covered by their respective access permission (authorization) and that Personal Data cannot be read, copied or modified or removed without authorization. This shall be accomplished by various measures including:

employee policies and training in respect of each employee’s access rights to the Personal Data;

applying a zero-trust model of user identification and authorization;

authenticating authorized personnel using unique authentication credentials and strong multi-factor authentication, including requiring the use of physical hard tokens;

monitoring actions of those authorized to delete, add or modify Personal Data;

release data only to authorized persons, including the allocation of differentiated access rights and roles; and

controlling access to data, with controlled and documented destruction of data.

*Measures for ensuring physical security of locations at which Personal Data are processed*

Cloudflare maintains and implements effective physical access control policies and measures in order to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to the data processing equipment (namely database and application servers, and related hardware) where the Personal Data are processed or used, including by:

establishing secure areas;

protecting and restricting access paths;

establishing access authorizations for employees and third parties, including the respective documentation;

all access to data centers where Personal Data are hosted are logged, monitored, and tracked; and

data centers where Personal Data are hosted are secured by security alarm systems, and other appropriate security measures.

*Measures for ensuring events logging*

Cloudflare has implemented a logging and monitoring program to log, monitor and track access to personal data, including by system administrators and to ensure data is processed in accordance with instructions received. This is accomplished by various measures, including:

authenticating authorized personnel using unique authentication credentials and strong multi-factor authentication, including requiring the use of physical hard tokens;

applying a zero-trust model of user identification and authorization;

maintaining updated lists of system administrators’ identification details;

adopting measures to detect, assess, and respond to high-risk anomalies;

keeping secure, accurate, and unmodified access logs to the processing infrastructure for twelve months; and

testing the logging configuration, monitoring system, alerting and incident response process at least once annually.

*Measures for ensuring system configuration, including default configuration*

Cloudflare maintains configuration baselines for all systems supporting the production data processing environment, including third-party systems. Configuration baselines should align with industry best practices such as the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Level 1 benchmarks. Automated mechanisms must be used to enforce baseline configurations on production systems, and to prevent unauthorized changes. Changes to baselines are limited to a small number of authorized Cloudflare personnel, and must follow change control processes. Changes must be auditable, and checked regularly to detect deviations from baseline configurations.

Cloudflare configures baselines for the information system using the principle of least privilege. By default, access configurations are set to “deny-all,” and default passwords must be changed to meet Cloudflare’s policies prior to device installation on the Cloudflare network, or immediately after software or operating system installation. Systems are configured to synchronize system time clocks based on International Atomic Time or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and access to modify time data is restricted to authorized personnel.

*Measures for internal IT and IT security governance and management*

Cloudflare maintains internal policies on the acceptable use of IT systems and general information security. Cloudflare requires all employees to undertake general security and privacy awareness training at least every year. Cloudflare restricts and protects the processing of Personal Data, and has documented and implemented:

a formal Information Security Management System (ISMS) in order to protect the confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and availability of Cloudflare’s data and information systems, and to ensure the effectiveness of security controls over data and information systems that support operations; and

a formal Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) in order to protect the confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and availability of the policies and procedures supporting Cloudflare’s global managed network, as both a processor and a controller of customer information.

Cloudflare will keep documentation of technical and organizational measures in case of audits and for the conservation of evidence. Cloudflare shall take reasonable steps to ensure that persons employed by it, and other persons at the place of work concerned, are aware of and comply with the technical and organizational measures set forth in this Annex 2.

*Measures for certification/assurance of processes and products*

The implementation of Cloudflare’s ISMS and related security risk management processes have been externally certified to the industry-standard ISO/IEC 27001. The implementation of Cloudflare’s comprehensive PIMS has been externally certified to the industry-standard ISO/IEC 27701, as both a processor and controller of customer information.

Cloudflare maintains PCI DSS Level 1 compliance for which Cloudflare is audited annually by a third-party Qualified Security Assessor. Cloudflare has undertaken other certifications such as the AICPA SOC 2 Type II certification in accordance with the AICPA Trust Service Criteria, and details of these and other certifications that Cloudflare may undertake from time to time will be made available on Cloudflare’s website.
