Spotnana Data Processing Addendum
Last updated: January 22, 2026
This Spotnana Data Processing Addendum (this “DPA”) supplements the Agreement or other agreement in place between Customer and Spotnana covering Spotnana’s provision of the Services to Customer (the “Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined in this DPA or in the Agreement, all capitalized terms used in this DPA will have the meanings given to them in Section 9 of this DPA.
- Scope and Term.
a. Roles of the Parties. For the purposes of the Agreement, the parties agree that:
i. Customer is either a Controller of Customer Data, or a Processor of Customer Data acting on another Controller’s behalf while passing down relevant processing instructions to Spotnana. Processing details are stated in Schedule 1 (Description of Processing).
ii. Spotnana is a Processor (or respectively, a Sub-processor) of Customer Data. Processing details are stated in Schedule 1 (Description of Processing).
b. Term of the DPA. The term of this DPA coincides with the term of the Agreement and terminates upon expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement (or, if later, the date on which Spotnana ceases all Processing of Customer Personal Data).
c. Order of Precedence. If there is any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence from highest to lowest will be: (1) the applicable terms stated in Schedule 3 (Region-Specific Terms including any transfer provisions); (2) Schedule 1 (Description of Processing); (3) the main body of this DPA; and (4) the Agreement.
d. Updates. Spotnana may update the terms of this DPA from time to time as required by any Applicable Data Protection Law. In such event, Spotnana will notify Customer of such updates in the same way(s) in which Spotnana may inform Customer of updates (or otherwise provide notice to Customer) according to the Agreement.
e. Affiliates. Each of Spotnana and Customer enter into this DPA on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates and each party is responsible for the compliance of its Affiliates with this DPA.
- Processing of Personal Data.
a. Customer Instructions. This DPA, the Agreement, applicable Customer Orders and Customer’s use of the Services constitute Customer’s documented instructions regarding Spotnana’s Processing of Customer Data (“Documented Instructions”). Spotnana must Process Customer Data solely in accordance with the Documented Instructions, as further stated in Schedule 1 (Description of Processing). Customer will comply with the requirements of any Applicable Data Protection Law that apply to Customer, including with respect to requirements of Customer’s Processing of Personal Data as a Controller and Customer’s Documented Instructions. Customer will determine whether the Services are appropriate for the Processing of Customer Data under Applicable Data Protection Law and will establish one or more adequate bases for Processing for Customer Data. If Customer relies on consent as a basis for Processing any Customer Data, Customer will obtain any requisite consents.
b. Confidentiality. Spotnana will treat Customer Personal Data as Customer’s Confidential Information under the Agreement.
- Security.
a. Security Measures. Spotnana has implemented and will maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the security, confidentiality, integrity and availability of Customer Data and protect against Security Incidents. Spotnana’s current Security Measures are described in Schedule 2 below. Customer acknowledges Spotnana may update or modify the Security Measures from time to time, provided that such updates and modifications do not materially decrease the overall security of the Services.
b. Security Incidents. Spotnana must notify Customer without undue delay and, where feasible, no later than seventy-two (72) hours after becoming aware of a Security Incident. Spotnana must make reasonable efforts to identify the cause of the Security Incident, mitigate the effects and remediate the cause to the extent within Spotnana’s reasonable control. Upon Customer’s request and taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Spotnana, Spotnana must assist Customer by providing information reasonably necessary for Customer to meet its Security Incident notification obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law. Spotnana’s notification of a Security Incident is not an acknowledgment by Spotnana of its fault or liability.
- Subprocessing.
By entering into this DPA, Customer provides general authorization for Spotnana to engage Subprocessors to Process Customer Personal Data. Spotnana will (i) enter into a written agreement with each Subprocessor imposing data protection terms that require the Sub-processor to protect Customer Personal Data to the standard required under this DPA (and to the extent applicable to the nature of services provided by such Subprocessors); and (ii) remain liable to Customer if such Subprocessor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations with regard to the relevant Processing activities under the Agreement. Spotnana maintains an up-to-date list of Subprocessors, which is available upon request to privacy@spotnana.com. At Customer’s election, Customer may receive notice of new Subprocessors by providing an email to privacy@spotnana.com. Spotnana will provide notice to such email at least thirty (30) days before allowing any new Subprocessor to Process Customer Personal Data (the “Subprocessor Notice Period”). If Customer objects to a Subprocessor, Customer and Spotnana will collaborate on an alternative solution that is commercially and technically feasible for Spotnana for a period of thirty (30) days, after which time Customer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, elect to terminate the applicable Customer Order or Agreement.
- Assistance and Cooperation Obligations.
a. Data Subject Rights. Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Spotnana will provide reasonable and timely assistance to Customer to enable Customer to respond to requests for exercising a data subject’s valid rights in respect to Customer Personal Data.
b. Cooperation Obligations. Upon Customer’s reasonable request, and taking into account the nature of the Processing, Spotnana will provide reasonable assistance to Customer in fulfilling Customer’s obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law, provided that Customer cannot reasonably fulfill such obligations independently with help of available documentation.
- Third Party Requests.
Unless prohibited by law, Spotnana will promptly notify Customer of any valid, enforceable legal process or governmental request compelling Spotnana to disclose Customer Personal Data. Spotnana will follow its law enforcement guidelines in responding to such requests. In the event that Spotnana receives an inquiry or a request for information from any other third party (such as a regulator or data subject) concerning the Processing of Customer Personal Data, Spotnana will redirect such inquiries to Customer, and will not provide any information unless required to do so under applicable laws.
- Deletion and Return of Customer Personal Data.
Deletion and Return of Customer Personal Data. Subject to Customer’s Documented Instructions, Spotnana will retain Customer Personal Data for the Term or as long as Services are being provided to Customer. Following any termination of the Agreement, Spotnana will delete all Customer Personal Data following such termination and any post-termination transition period. Spotnana reserves the right to delete Customer Personal Data of inactive users after seven (7) years provided that Spotnana will use commercially reasonable best efforts to notify Customer and provide Customer with an opportunity to respond before effecting such deletion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Spotnana may retain any Customer Personal Data to the extent required by applicable laws or in accordance with its standard record retention policies, provided that in either case, Spotnana will maintain the confidentiality of, and otherwise comply with the applicable provisions of this DPA with respect to, retained Customer Personal Data and not further Process it except as required by law.
- Audit.
Spotnana is regularly audited by independent third-party auditors and/or internal auditors, including as described here. Upon request, and on the condition that Customer has entered into an applicable non-disclosure agreement with Spotnana, Spotnana will supply a summary copy of relevant audit report(s) to Customer, so Customer can verify Spotnana’s compliance with the audit standards against which it has been assessed, and this DPA. If Customer cannot reasonably verify Spotnana’s compliance with the terms of this DPA, Spotnana will provide written responses (on a confidential basis) to all reasonable requests for information made by Customer related to Spotnana’s Processing of Customer Personal Data, provided that such right may be exercised no more than once every twelve (12) months.
- Data Transfers.
a. Intra-enterprise and Subprocessor Transfers. Subject to Spotnana’s compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws, Spotnana may Process Personal Data on a global basis to provide the Services and may transfer Personal Data to jurisdictions where a Spotnana Affiliate or Subprocessor maintains operations. To the extent Spotnana Processes Personal Data protected by Applicable Data Protection Laws in one of the regions listed in Schedule 3 (Region-Specific Terms), the terms specified for the applicable regions will also apply, including the provisions relevant for international transfers of Personal Data (directly or via onward transfer).
b. Travel Providers. To provide the Services, Spotnana may transmit Personal Data to Travel Providers (e.g. airlines, hotels, rail and ground transportation companies) who provide Travel Services. Spotnana acts as Customer’s Processor in transmitting such Personal Data to Travel Providers, but does not engage Travel Providers for processing activities. Customer understands Travel Providers independently determine the purposes and means of the Processing of the Personal Data provided to them and act as independent Controllers (or “Controllers in Common”) rather than Spotnana’s Sub-processor. Spotnana is not responsible for the Processing activities of any Travel Provider.
c. Public Authority Transfer. Spotnana will provide Personal Data to public authorities in accordance with this DPA and Spotnana’s public authority access request policy (available upon request).
- General.
a.Severability. If any individual provisions of this DPA are determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this DPA will not be affected.
b.Limitation of Liability. Except where expressly prohibited by the Applicable Data Protection law, this DPA is subject to the Limitation of Liability section of the Agreement.
