2. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
a. Compliance with Laws
With respect to Personal Data, Customer is the controller and Artisan is Customer’s processor, or alternatively, if Customer is the processor, Artisan is Customer’s sub-processor. Artisan processes Outbound Communications Data solely as a Processor on Customer’s Instructions and does not independently assess the lawfulness or consent status of any individual communication. Within the scope of the Agreement and in its use of the services, you will be responsible for complying with all requirements that apply to it under applicable Data Protection Laws with respect to its Processing of Personal Data and the Instructions it issues to us.
In particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that you will be solely responsible for: (i) the accuracy, quality, and legality of Customer Data and the means by which you acquired Personal Data; (ii) complying with all necessary transparency and lawfulness requirements under applicable Data Protection Laws for the collection and use of the Personal Data, including obtaining any necessary consents and authorizations (particularly for use by Customer for marketing purposes); (iii) ensuring you have the right to transfer, or provide access to, the Personal Data to us for Processing in accordance with the terms of the Agreement (including this DPA); (iv) ensuring that your Instructions to us regarding the Processing of Personal Data comply with applicable laws, including Data Protection Laws; and (v) complying with all laws (including Data Protection Laws and Outbound Communications Laws) applicable to any emails or other content created, sent or managed through the Subscription Services, including those relating to obtaining consents (where required) to send emails, the content of the emails and its email deployment practices. You will inform us without undue delay if you are not able to comply with your responsibilities under this ‘Compliance with Laws’ section or applicable Data Protection Laws or Outbound Communications Laws.
b. Controller Instructions
The parties agree that the Agreement (including this DPA), together with your use of the Subscription Service in accordance with the Agreement, constitute your complete Instructions to us in relation to the Processing of Personal Data, so long as you may provide additional instructions during the subscription term that are consistent with the Agreement, the nature and lawful use of the Subscription Service.
c. Security
You are responsible for independently determining whether the data security provided for in the Subscription Service adequately meets your obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws. You are also responsible for your secure use of the Subscription Service, including protecting the security of Personal Data in transit to and from the Subscription Service.
d. Sale or Share of Data
You will not take any action that would (i) render the provision of Personal Data to us a “sale” under U.S. federal and state privacy laws or a “share” under the CCPA (or equivalent concepts under U.S. federal and state privacy laws); or (ii) render us not a “service provider” under the CCPA or “processor” under U.S. federal and state privacy laws.
e. Lawful Basis.
Customer warrants that it has identified and documented a valid lawful basis under applicable Data Protection Laws (including, where applicable, a valid legal basis under GDPR Article 6 and, for special categories of data, GDPR Article 9) for each Processing activity undertaken using the Services. With respect to Outbound Communications Data, Customer acknowledges that Artisan does not verify the consent status, opt-in history, or contact preferences of any individual Data Subject, and that Customer bears sole responsibility for ensuring: (i) each outbound communication has a valid legal basis; (ii) required pre-communication disclosures have been made to Data Subjects; (iii) opt-out and unsubscribe requests are captured and honored in a timely manner; and (iv) records of consent or other legal bases are maintained for the period required by applicable law.
3. ARTISAN AI OBLIGATIONS
a. Compliance with Instructions
We will only Process Personal Data for the purposes described in this DPA and Exhibit A or as otherwise agreed within the scope of your lawful Instructions, except where and to the extent otherwise required by applicable law. We are not responsible for compliance with any Data Protection Laws or Outbound Communications Laws applicable to you or your industry that are not generally applicable to us.
b. Conflict of Laws
If we become aware that we cannot Process Personal Data in accordance with your Instructions due to a legal requirement under any applicable law, we will (i) promptly notify you of that legal requirement to the extent permitted by the applicable law; and (ii) where necessary, cease all Processing (other than merely storing and maintaining the security of the affected Personal Data) until such time as you issue new Instructions with which we are able to comply.
c. Security
We will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data from Personal Data Breaches, as described under Exhibit B to this DPA. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, we may modify or update the Security Measures at our discretion provided that such modification or update does not result in a material degradation in the protection offered by the Security Measures.
d. Confidentiality
We will ensure that any personnel whom we authorize to Process Personal Data on our behalf is subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations (whether a contractual or statutory duty) with respect to that Personal Data.
e. Personal Data Breaches
We will provide initial notification without undue delay and in any event no later than forty-eight (48) hours after becoming aware of any Personal Data Breach, and upon request, will provide timely information relating to the Personal Data Breach as it becomes available: (i) a description of the nature of the Personal Data Breach, (ii) the categories and approximate number of Data Subjects and Personal Data records concerned, (iii) the likely consequences of the Personal Data Breach, and (iv) the measures taken or proposed to be taken to address the Personal Data Breach and mitigate its possible adverse effects. Artisan may provide an initial notification with available information and supplement it as further information becomes known, consistent with GDPR Article 33(4).
At your request, we will promptly provide you with such reasonable assistance as necessary to enable you to notify relevant Personal Data Breaches to competent authorities and/or affected Data Subjects, if you are required to do so under Data Protection Laws.
f. Deletion or Return of Personal Data
We will delete or return all Customer Data, including Personal Data (including copies thereof) Processed pursuant to this DPA, upon termination or expiration of your Subscription Service, within a commercially reasonable period not exceeding ninety (90) days, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties in writing. This term will apply except where we are required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Customer Data, or where we have archived Customer Data on back-up systems, which data we will securely isolate and protect from any further Processing and delete in accordance with our deletion practices. You may request the deletion of your Artisan AI account after expiration or termination of your subscription by emailing hello@artisan.co. For clarity, we may continue to process information derived from Customer usage or data that has been de-identified, anonymized, and/or aggregated such that the data is no longer considered Personal Data under applicable Data Protection Laws and in a manner that does not identify individuals or Customer to improve our systems and services.
Upon written request, Artisan will confirm in writing the deletion of Customer Data and Personal Data within five (5) business days of completing deletion.
4. DATA SUBJECT REQUESTS
The Subscription Service provides you with a number of controls that you can use to retrieve, correct, delete or restrict Personal Data, which you can use to assist it in connection with its obligations under Data Protection Laws, including your obligations relating to responding to requests from Data Subjects to exercise their rights under applicable Data Protection Laws ("Data Subject Requests").
To the extent that you are unable to independently address a Data Subject Request through the Subscription Service, then upon your written request we will provide reasonable assistance to you to respond to any Data Subject Requests or requests from data protection authorities relating to the Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement. You will reimburse us for the commercially reasonable costs arising from this assistance.
If a Data Subject Request or other communication regarding the Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement is made directly to us, we will promptly inform you and will advise the Data Subject to submit their request to you. You will be solely responsible for responding substantively to any such Data Subject Requests or communications involving Personal Data.
We will notify you of any Data Subject Request within five (5) business days of receipt. We will not respond substantively to any Data Subject Request on Customer’s behalf without Customer’s prior written authorization, except as required by applicable law.
With respect to Outbound Communications Data, Customer is solely responsible for maintaining and honoring opt-out, unsubscribe, erasure, or other requests received from Data Subjects contacted through the Services. Artisan will, upon Customer’s written instruction, assist with any such request as reasonably necessary and aid with technical suppression of contact records in the Subscription Service.
5. SUB-PROCESSORS
You agree we may engage Sub-Processors to Process Personal Data on your behalf. We have currently appointed, as Sub-Processors, the third parties and Artisan AI Affiliates listed our Subprocessor List available at trust.artisan.co. If we add or replace any Sub-Processors, we will notify you at least 30 days prior to any such change.
We will give you the opportunity to object to the engagement of new Sub-Processors on reasonable grounds relating to the protection of Personal Data within 30 days of notifying you. If you do notify us of such an objection, the parties will discuss your concerns in good faith with a view to achieving a commercially reasonable resolution. If no such resolution can be reached, we will, at our sole discretion, either not appoint the new Sub-Processor, cease to provide to you the particular aspect or feature of the Subscription Service that would involve use of such Sub-Processor, or permit you to suspend or terminate the affected Subscription Service without liability to either party (but without prejudice to any fees incurred by you prior to suspension or termination).
Where we engage Sub-Processors, we will impose data protection terms on the Sub-Processors that provide at least the same level of protection for Personal Data as those in this DPA, to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Sub-Processors. We will remain responsible for each Sub-Processor’s compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of such Sub-Processor that cause us to breach any of its obligations under this DPA.
Where Sub Processors provide foundation models or AI services, Artisan AI shall ensure by written contract that such Sub Processors (i) act only as processors on behalf of Customer and not as a controller or joint controller; (ii) do not use Customer Data or Personal Data (including prompts, inputs and outputs) to train, fine tune or otherwise improve any models for the benefit of other customers or for their own products; and (iii) delete such data within timelines consistent with this DPA and applicable Data Protection Laws.
6. DATA TRANSFERS
You acknowledge and agree that we may access and Process Personal Data on a global basis as necessary to provide the Subscription Service in accordance with the Agreement, and in particular that Personal Data may be transferred to and Processed by Artisan AI, Inc. in the United States and to other jurisdictions where Artisan AI Affiliates and Sub-Processors have operations. Wherever Personal Data is transferred outside its country of origin, each party will ensure such transfers are made in compliance with the requirements of Data Protection Laws.
7. DEMONSTRATION OF COMPLIANCE / AUDIT RIGHTS
We will make all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA available to you and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections conducted by you or your auditor in order to assess compliance with this DPA, where required by applicable law. You acknowledge and agree that you will exercise your audit rights under this DPA by instructing us to comply with the audit measures described in this ‘Demonstration of Compliance’ section.
At your written request, we will provide written responses (on a confidential basis) to all reasonable requests for information made by you necessary to confirm our compliance with this DPA, provided that you will not exercise this right more than once per calendar year unless you have reasonable grounds to suspect non-compliance with the DPA. Where permitted by law, we may instead make available to you a summary of the results of a third-party audit or certification reports relevant to our compliance with this DPA.
You will reimburse us for the commercially reasonable costs arising from any audit that is not (a) required by applicable Data Protection Laws or (b) in response to a Personal Data Breach.
Artisan maintains a SOC 2 Type II report for its security controls. Upon Customer's written request, no more than once annually, Artisan will provide its then-current SOC 2 Type II report or executive summary under NDA, or, where a current report is not yet available for a particular Service or infrastructure component, a bridge letter or equivalent attestation from Artisan's auditor.

12. AI PROCESSING; OUTBOUND COMMUNICATIONS
Nature of AI Processing
Customer acknowledges that the Subscription Services involve the use of large language models (LLMs) and other AI technologies to facilitate, personalize, and deliver outbound communications, including emails and voice calls, on Customer’s behalf. The following provisions govern Artisan’s obligations with respect to AI-based Processing under this DPA.
a. Artisan as Processor for AI-Generated Communications
Artisan processes Outbound Communications Data as a Processor acting solely on Customer’s Instructions. Artisan only suggests recipients based on Customer-provided criteria, does not determine the content of communications beyond executing Customer’s configured parameters, and does not assess the lawfulness of any individual communication. Customer is the Controller for all purposes with respect to Outbound Communications Data.
b. No AI Training on Customer Personal Data
Artisan will not use Personal Data contained in Customer Data (including Outbound Communications Data) to train, fine-tune, benchmark, or improve any AI model outside the scope of delivering the Subscription Services to Customer under this Agreement, without Customer’s prior express written consent, unless in anonymized or aggregated form that cannot be re-identified. Usage Data (as defined in the Agreement), once de-identified and anonymized or aggregated, may be used to improve Artisan’s services consistent with the Agreement.
c. Automated Decision-Making
The Subscription Services involve profiling of Data Subjects under GDPR Article 4(4) but are not designed or intended to automate decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on Data Subjects within the meaning of GDPR Article 22. Artisan does not represent that its Services comply with Article 22 safeguards. Customer is fully responsible for providing transparency notices required under GDPR Articles 13 and 14 to all Data Subjects whose personal data is processed using the Services, including contact data provided by third parties. Artisan will provide reasonable technical assistance to support Customer’s compliance obligations upon request.
d. Consent Records for Outbound Communications
Customer is responsible for maintaining records of consent, legitimate interest assessments (LIAs), or other legal bases relied upon for Outbound Communications Data, for such periods as required by applicable law. Artisan has no obligation to store or verify consent records on Customer’s behalf. Upon Customer’s written request, Artisan will provide reasonable technical assistance to help Customer retrieve data relating to specific contacts from the Subscription Service to support Customer’s own consent record-keeping obligations.

EXHIBIT B – SECURITY MEASURES
We currently observe the Security Measures described in this Exhibit B.
a. Access Control
Outsourced processing: We host our Service with outsourced cloud infrastructure providers. We maintain contractual relationships with vendors in order to provide the Service in accordance with our DPA. We rely on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and vendor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these vendors.
Physical and environmental security: We host our product infrastructure with multi-tenant, outsourced infrastructure providers. We do not own or maintain hardware located at the outsourced infrastructure providers’ data centers. Production servers and client-facing applications are logically and physically secured from our internal corporate information systems.
Artisan maintains a SOC 2 Type II report for its security controls. Upon Customer's written request, no more than once annually, Artisan will provide its then-current SOC 2 Type II report or executive summary (as applicable to the relevant Services) under NDA, together with management’s remediation plans for any exceptions, or, where a current report is not yet available for a particular Service or infrastructure component, a bridge letter or equivalent attestation from Artisan's auditor.
Authentication: We implement a uniform password policy for our customer products. Customers who interact with the products via the user interface must authenticate before accessing non-public customer data.
Authorization: Customer Data is stored in multi-tenant storage systems accessible to Customers via only application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Customers are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure.
API access: Public product APIs may be accessed using an API key or through OAuth authorization.
Access controls: Network access control mechanisms are designed to prevent network traffic using unauthorized protocols from reaching the product infrastructure, including VPC implementations, security group assignment, and traditional firewall rules.
Intrusion detection and prevention: We implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution to protect hosted customer websites and other internet-accessible applications.
Static code analysis: Code stored in our source code repositories is checked for best practices and identifiable software flaws using automated tooling.
Penetration testing: We maintain relationships with industry-recognized penetration testing service providers for penetration testing of both the Artisan AI web application and internal corporate network infrastructure at least annually.
Bug bounty: A bug bounty program invites and incentivizes independent security researchers to ethically discover and disclose security flaws.
Product access: A subset of our employees have access to the products and to customer data via controlled interfaces. Access is enabled through “just in time” (JITA) requests for access; all such requests are logged. Administrative or high risk access permissions are reviewed at least once every six months.
Background checks: Where permitted by applicable law, Artisan AI employees undergo a third-party background or reference check. All Artisan AI employees are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with company guidelines, non-disclosure requirements, and ethical standards.
b. Transmission Control
In-transit: We require HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS) on all login interfaces and for every customer site hosted on the Artisan AI products. Our HTTPS implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates.
At-rest: We store user passwords following policies that follow industry standard practices for security. We have implemented technologies to ensure that stored data is encrypted at rest.
c. Input Control
Detection: We designed our infrastructure to log extensive information about the system behavior, traffic received, system authentication, and other application requests. Internal systems aggregate log data and alert appropriate employees of malicious, unintended, or anomalous activities.
Response and tracking: We maintain 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.
d. Availability Control
Infrastructure availability: The infrastructure providers use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a minimum of 99.95% uptime.
Fault tolerance: Backup and replication strategies are designed to ensure redundancy and fail-over protections during a significant processing failure.
Disaster Recovery Plans: We maintain and regularly test disaster recovery plans to help ensure availability of information following interruption to, or failure of, critical business processes.
