Data Processing Agreement
Version: | 1.0 |
Effective Date: | January 20, 2021 |
Introduction
This ScrumDo Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”), which includes the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission (as applicable), sets forth the parties’ agreement with respect to the terms governing the Processing of Personal Data under the ScrumDo Terms of Service (the “Agreement”). This DPA is a part of the Terms of Service and is effective immediately upon the collection or transfer of Personal Data of a Data Subject governed by the Data Protection Law.
We may periodically update these terms. If you have an active ScrumDo subscription, we will let you know when we do via an email or in-app notification.
ScrumDo uses sub-processors in connection with the provision of our Service. You should reference the ScrumDo Sub-Processors Page to view the most current list of sub-processors used in providing our Service.

2. DETAILS OF THE PROCESSING
3. CONTROLLER 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, Controller’s instructions for the Processing of Personal Data shall comply with the Data Protection Law. This DPA is User’s complete and final instruction to ScrumDo in relation to Personal Data and that additional instructions outside the scope of DPA would require 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).
Controller shall inform 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
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.</div
5. DATA SUBJECT REQUESTS
Processor will enable Controller to respond to requests from Data Subjects to exercise their rights under the applicable Data Protection Law in a manner consistent with the functionality of the Service. To the extent that Controller does not have the ability to address a Data Subject request, then upon Controller’s request Processor shall provide reasonable assistance to the Controller to facilitate such Data Subject request to the extent able and only as required by applicable Data Protection Law. Controller shall reimburse Processor for the commercially reasonable costs arising from this assistance.
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.
6. AUDITS
Processor shall, in accordance with Data Protection Laws and in response to a reasonable written request by Controller, make available to Controller such information in Processor’s possession or control related to Processor’s compliance with the obligations of data processors under Data Protection Law in relation to its Processing of Personal Data.
Controller may, upon written request and at least 30 days’ notice to Processor, during regular business hours and without interrupting Processor’s business operations, conduct an inspection of Processor’s business operations or have the same conducted by a qualified third party auditor subject to Processor’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Processor shall, upon Controller’s written request and on at least 30 days’ notice to the Processor, 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.
7. SUB-PROCESSORS
8. DATA TRANSFERS
Controller acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with the performance of the services under the Agreement, Personal Data will be transferred to ScrumDo on servers located in the Republic of Ireland. Processor may access and perform Processing of Personal Data on a global basis as necessary to provide the Service, in accordance with the ScrumDo Terms of Service.
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).
To the extent that Controller or Processor are relying on a specific statutory mechanism to normalize international data transfers and that mechanism is subsequently revoked, or held in a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, Controller and Processor agree to cooperate in good faith to pursue a suitable alternate mechanism that can lawfully support the transfer.
9. 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 provisions 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 10 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, provided however: (a) Controller may exercise its right of audit under clause 5(f) of the standard contractual clauses as set out in, and subject to the requirements of, section 6 of this DPA; and (b) Processor may appoint sub-Processors as set out, and subject to the requirements of, section 4 and section 7 of this DPA.
10. PARTIES TO THIS DPA
This DPA is an amendment to and forms part of the Agreement. Upon the incorporation of this DPA into the Agreement (i) Controller and the ScrumDo Entity that are a party to the Agreement are also each a party to this DPA, and (ii) to the extent that ScrumDo LLC is not the party to the Agreement, ScrumDo LLC is a party to this DPA, but only with respect to agreement to the Standard Contractual Clauses of the DPA, this Section 10 of the DPA, and to the Standard Contractual Clauses themselves.
If ScrumDo LLC is not a party to the Agreement, the section of the Agreement entitled ‘Limitation of Liability’ shall apply as between Controller and ScrumDo LLC, and in such respect any references to ‘ScrumDo’, ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’ shall include both the ScrumDo and the ScrumDo Entity that is a party to the Agreement.
The legal entity agreeing to this DPA as Controller represents that it is authorized to agree to and enter into this DPA for, and is agreeing to this DPA solely on behalf of, the Controller.

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 3
Third-party Beneficiary Clause
The data subject can enforce against the data exporter this Clause, Clause 4(b) to (i), Clause 5(a) to (e), and (g) to (j), Clause 6(1) and (2), Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12 as third-party beneficiary.
The data subject can enforce against the data importer this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where the data exporter has factually disappeared or has ceased to exist in law unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law, as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity.
The data subject can enforce against the subprocessor this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
The parties do not object to a data subject being represented by an association or other body if the data subject so expressly wishes and if permitted by national law.
Clause 4
Obligations Of The Data Exporter
The data exporter agrees and warrants:
Clause 5
Obligations Of The Data Importer
The data importer agrees and warrants:
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 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.
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
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:
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

Appendix 2
Technical and Organizational Security Measures
This Appendix forms part of the Clauses.
Description of the technical and organizational security measures implemented by the data importer in accordance with Clauses 4(d) and 5(c) (or document/legislation attached):
ScrumDo currently observes the security practices described in this Appendix 2. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary otherwise agreed to by data exporter, ScrumDo may modify or update these practices at its discretion provided that such modification and update does not result in a material degradation in the protection offered by these practices. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings as set forth in the Agreement.
a) Access Control
Outsourced processing: ScrumDo hosts its Service with outsourced cloud infrastructure providers. Additionally, ScrumDo maintains contractual relationships with vendors in order to provide the Service in accordance with our Data Processing Agreement. ScrumDo 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: ScrumDo 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: ScrumDo implemented a uniform password policy for its products. Users who interact with the products via the user interface must authenticate before accessing non-public User data.
Authorization: User data is stored in multi-tenant storage systems accessible to Users via only application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Users are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure. The authorization model in each of ScrumDo’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: Product APIs may be accessed using an API key or through Oauth authorization.
ScrumDo 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: ScrumDo has implemented a Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution to protect our internet-accessible applications. The WAF is designed to identify and prevent attacks against publicly available network services.
Product access: A subset of ScrumDo’s employees have access to the products and to user 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. Employees are granted access by role, and reviews of high risk privilege grants are initiated upon a request for such access.
Employee conduct: ScrumDo employees undergo a background check prior to being extended an employment offer, as permitted by 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: ScrumDo makes HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS) available on every one of its login interfaces. ScrumDo’s HTTPS implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates.
At-rest: ScrumDo stores user passwords following policies that follow industry standard practices for security. ScrumDo has implemented technologies to ensure that stored data is encrypted at rest.
c) Input Control
Detection: ScrumDo 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. ScrumDo personnel, including security, operations, and support personnel, are responsive to known incidents.
Response and tracking: ScrumDo 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, ScrumDo will take appropriate steps to minimize product and User damage or unauthorized disclosure.
Communication: If ScrumDo becomes aware of unlawful access to User data stored within its products, ScrumDo will: 1) notify the affected Users of the incident; 2) provide a description of the steps ScrumDo is taking to resolve the incident; and 3) provide status updates to the User contact, as ScrumDo deems necessary. Notification(s) of incidents, if any, will be delivered to one or more of the User’s contacts in a form ScrumDo 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. User 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.
ScrumDo’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 ScrumDo operations in maintaining and updating the product applications and backend while limiting downtime.
