2. Personal Data Processing Terms
   1. The parties agree that if the Data Protection Laws apply to the processing of Subscriber Personal Data, the parties acknowledge and agree that:
      1. With respect to Subscriber Personal Data that the Algolia Group processes on behalf of Subscriber, Subscriber is the controller (or, where Subscriber is instructing Algolia on behalf of a third party controller, a processor on behalf of that controller) and Algolia is either (i) the “processor” or, for purpose of U.S. Data Protection Laws, the “service provider”, (ii) where Subscriber is a processor on behalf of a third party controller, Algolia shall be a “sub-processor” to Subscriber.
      2. Algolia may engage Sub-processors pursuant to Section 7 (Sub-processors).
      3. The subject-matter of the data processing covered by this DPA is the provision of the Services and the processing will be carried out for the duration of the Agreement or so long as Algolia is providing the Services. Attachment 1 of this DPA sets out the nature and purpose of the processing, the types of Subscriber Personal Data Algolia processes and the categories of data subjects whose Personal Data is processed.
      4. Each party will comply with the obligations applicable to it under the Data Protection Laws, including with respect to the processing of Subscriber Personal Data.
      5. If Subscriber is a processor itself, Subscriber warrants to Algolia that Subscriber’s instructions and actions with respect to the Subscriber Personal Data, including its appointment of Algolia as a sub-processor, have been authorized by the relevant controller.
      6. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber’s instructions to Algolia for the processing of Subscriber Personal Data shall comply with all applicable laws, including the Data Protection Laws. As between Algolia and Subscriber, Subscriber shall be responsible for the Subscriber Data and the means by which Subscriber acquired Subscriber Data, and shall maintain such authorizations and all other approvals, consents and registrations as are required to carry out lawful personal data processing activities under Data Protection Laws.
      7. For the purposes of this DPA, the following is deemed an instruction by Subscriber to process Subscriber Personal Data (a) to provide the Services; (b) as further specified via Subscriber’s use of the Services (including the Services’ user interface dashboard and other functionality of the Services); (c) as documented in the Agreement (including this DPA and any Service Order that requires processing of Subscriber Personal Data); and (d) as further documented in any other written instructions given by Subscriber (which may be specific instructions or instructions of a general nature as set out in this DPA, the Agreement or as otherwise notified by Subscriber to Algolia from time to time), where such instructions are consistent with the terms of the Agreement.
      8. When Algolia processes Subscriber Personal Data in the course of providing the Services, Algolia will:
         1. Process the Subscriber Personal Data only in accordance with (a) the Agreement and (b) Subscriber’s instructions as described in Section 2.1.7, unless Algolia is required to process Subscriber Personal Data for any other purpose by UK, European Union or member state law to which Algolia is subject. Algolia shall inform Subscriber of this requirement before processing unless prohibited by applicable laws on important grounds of public interest.
         2. Notify Subscriber without undue delay if, in Algolia's opinion, an instruction for the processing of Subscriber Personal Data given by Subscriber infringes applicable Data Protection Laws.
   2. The parties acknowledge and agree that:
      1. The parties will comply with all applicable laws with respect to the processing of Subscriber Personal Data.
      2. Algolia is authorized to create anonymized and aggregated information based on the Subscriber Personal Data (“Anonymized Data”) and such information will not include any Personal Data (as defined in Data Protection Laws).

3. Data Security
   1. Security Measures
      1. Algolia will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect or secure (i) Subscriber Data, including Subscriber Personal Data, against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental or unlawful loss, destruction or alteration or damage, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Subscriber Data, and (ii) the confidentiality and integrity of Subscriber Data, as set forth in the Security Measures. Algolia may update or modify the Security Measures from time to time provided that such updates and modifications will not materially decrease the overall security of the Services. The most up to date Security Measures will be made available at https://www.algolia.com/security/measures.
      2. In addition to the Security Measures, Algolia will, from time to time, make additional security guidelines available that provide Subscriber with information about, in Algolia’s opinion, best practices for securing, accessing and using Subscriber Data including best practices for password and credentials protection (“Additional Security Information”).
      3. Algolia will take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability and competence of Algolia personnel engaged in the processing of Subscriber Personal Data.
      4.

Algolia shall ensure that such confidentiality obligations survive the termination of the personnel engagement.
   2. Data Incidents
      1. If Algolia becomes aware of a Data Incident, Algolia will: (a) notify Subscriber of the Data Incident without undue delay after becoming aware of the Data Incident; and (b) promptly take reasonable steps to minimize harm and secure Subscriber Data.
      2. Notifications made pursuant to this section will describe, to the extent possible, details of the Data Incident, including steps taken to mitigate the potential risks and, as applicable, steps Algolia recommends Subscriber to take to address the Data Incident.
      3. Notification(s) of any Data Incident(s) will be delivered to Subscriber in accordance with the “Manner of Giving Notices” Section of the Agreement or, at Algolia’s discretion, by direct communication (for example, by phone call or an in-person meeting). Subscriber is solely responsible for ensuring that any contact information, including notification email address, provided to Algolia is current and valid.
      4. Algolia will not assess the contents of Subscriber Data in order to identify information subject to any specific legal requirements. Subscriber is solely responsible for complying with incident notification laws applicable to Subscriber and fulfilling any third-party notification obligations related to any Data Incident(s).
      5. Algolia’s notification of or response to a Data Incident under this Section 3.2 (Data Incidents) will not be construed as an acknowledgement by Algolia of any fault or liability with respect to the Data Incident.
   3. Subscriber’s Security Responsibilities and Assessment of Algolia
      1. Subscriber agrees that, without prejudice to Algolia’s obligations under Section 3.1 (Security Measures) and Section 3.2 (Data Incidents):
         1. Subscriber is solely responsible for its use of the Services, including: (i) making appropriate use of the Services and any Additional Security Information to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk in respect of the Subscriber Data; (ii) securing the account authentication credentials, systems and devices Subscriber uses to access the Services; and (iii) backing up the Subscriber Data; and
         2. Algolia has no obligation to protect Subscriber Data that Subscriber elects to store or transfer outside of Algolia’s and its Sub-processors’ systems (for example, offline or on- premises storage).
      2. Subscriber is solely responsible for reviewing the Security Measures and evaluating for itself whether the Services, the Security Measures, the Additional Security Information and Algolia’s commitments under this Section 3 (Data Security) will meet Subscriber’s needs, including with respect to any security obligations of Subscriber under the Data Protection Laws. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Security Measures implemented and maintained by Algolia as set out in Section 3.1 (Security Measures) provide a level of security appropriate to the risk in respect of the Subscriber Data.
   4. Subscriber’s Assessment of Algolia Compliance; Audit Rights
      1. Subscriber acknowledges that Algolia is regularly audited by independent third-party security and privacy auditors as described at https://www.algolia.com/distributed-secure/security-compliance/. Subscriber may verify Algolia’s compliance with its obligations under this DPA by reviewing the Security Documentation made available online or upon request (on a confidential basis). Upon Subscriber’s reasonable request and once per calendar year, Algolia shall provide Subscriber written responses to Subscriber’s questions related to the processing of its Subscriber Personal Data.                                           
      2. Only to the extent Subscriber cannot reasonably demonstrate Algolia’s compliance with its obligations under this DPA through the exercise of its rights under Section 3.4.1 above, and no more than once per calendar year, Subscriber may contact Algolia in accordance with the “Manner of Giving Notices” Section of the Agreement to request an on-site audit of the procedures relevant to the protection of Subscriber Data. Subscriber shall reimburse Algolia for any time expended for any such on-site audit. Before the commencement of any such on-site audit, Subscriber and Algolia shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit, that reasonably does not interfere with normal business operations, in addition to the reimbursement rate for which Subscriber shall be responsible. All reimbursement rates shall be reasonable, taking into account the resources expended by Algolia. Subscriber shall promptly notify Algolia with information regarding any non- compliance discovered during the course of an audit.
      3. Subscriber may conduct such on-site audit (a) itself, (b) through an Affiliate that is not a competitor of Algolia or (c) through an independent, third-party auditor that is not a competitor of Algolia.
4. Return or Deletion of Subscriber Data
   1. Algolia will enable Subscriber to delete during the Term Subscriber Data in a manner consistent with the functionality of the Services. If Subscriber uses the Services to delete any Subscriber Data during the Term, this use will constitute an instruction to Algolia to delete the relevant Subscriber Data from Algolia’s systems in accordance with applicable law. Algolia will comply with this instruction as soon as reasonably practicable within a maximum of 90 days, unless UK, European Union or member state law requires storage.
   2. Upon expiry of the Term, subject to the terms of the Agreement, Algolia shall securely delete Subscriber Data, to the extent allowed by applicable law, in accordance with the timeframes specified in Section 4.3 and, upon Subscriber’s written request, return Subscriber Personal Data (to the extent such data has not been deleted by Subscriber from the Services).
   3. Algolia will, after a recovery period of up to 30 days following expiry of the Term, comply with this instruction as soon as reasonably practicable and within a maximum period of 90 days, unless UK, European Union or member state law requires storage. Without prejudice to Section 5 (Data Subject Rights; Data Export), Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber will be responsible for exporting, before the Term expires, any Subscriber Data it wishes to retain afterwards.
5. Data Subject Rights; Data Export
   1. For the duration of the period Algolia provides the Services:
      1. Algolia will, in a manner consistent with the functionality of the Services, enable Subscriber to access, rectify and restrict processing of Subscriber Data, including via the deletion functionality provided by Algolia as described in Section 4 (Return or Deletion of Subscriber Data), and to export Subscriber Data;
      2. Algolia will, without undue delay, notify Subscriber, to the extent legally permitted, if Algolia receives a request from a data subject to exercise their rights in relation to Subscriber Personal Data under Data Protection Laws, including the data subject's right of access, right to rectification, restriction of processing, erasure, data portability, objection to the processing, or its right not to be subject to an automated individual decision making (“Data Subject Request”); and
      3. If Algolia receives any request from a data subject in relation to Subscriber Personal Data, Algolia may advise the data subject to submit his or her request to Subscriber. Subscriber will be responsible for responding to any such request including, where necessary, by using the functionality of the Services.
      4. Taking into account the nature of the processing, Algolia will assist Subscriber by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as it is possible, for the fulfillment of Subscriber’s obligation to respond to a Data Subject Request under Data Protection Laws. In addition, to the extent Subscriber, in its use of the Services, does not have the ability to address a Data Subject Request, Algolia shall, upon Subscriber’s written request, provide Subscriber with reasonable cooperation and assistance to facilitate Subscriber’s response to such Data Subject Request, to the extent Algolia is legally permitted to do so and the response to such Data Subject Request is required under Data Protection Laws. To the extent legally permitted, Subscriber shall be responsible for any costs arising from Algolia’s provision of such assistance.
          
6. Data Protection Impact Assessment
   Upon Subscriber's written request, Algolia will provide Subscriber with reasonable cooperation and assistance needed to fulfill Subscriber's obligation under the Data Protection Laws to carry out a data protection impact assessment related to Subscriber's use of the Services, to the extent Subscriber does not otherwise have access to the relevant information, and to the extent such information is available to Algolia. Algolia will provide reasonable assistance to Subscriber in the cooperation or prior consultation with the applicable data protection authority in the performance of its tasks relating to this Section 6 (Data Protection Impact Assessment) to the extent required under Data Protection Laws.
    
7. Sub-processors
   1. Subscriber authorizes the engagement of Algolia’s Affiliates as Sub-processors. In addition, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Algolia and Algolia’s Affiliates respectively may engage third-party Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Services. Algolia or an Algolia Affiliate has entered into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this Agreement with respect to the protection of Subscriber Data to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Sub-processor.
   2. Algolia will make available to Subscriber the current list of Sub-processors for the Services at https://algolia.com/subprocessors (“Infrastructure and Sub-processor List”). Algolia shall provide notification of a new Sub-processor(s) before authorizing any new Sub-processor(s) to process Subscriber Personal Data in connection with the provision of the Services either by sending an email or via the user interface dashboard of the Services.
   3. Subscriber may object to Algolia’s use of a new Sub-processor by notifying Algolia promptly in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt of Algolia’s notice. In the event Subscriber objects to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentence, Algolia will use reasonable efforts to make available to Subscriber a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Subscriber’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid processing of Subscriber Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening the Subscriber. If Algolia is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, Subscriber may terminate the applicable Service Order(s) with respect to only those Services which cannot be provided by Algolia without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor by providing written notice to Algolia. Algolia will refund Subscriber any prepaid but unused fees covering the remainder of the term of such Service Order following the effective date of termination with respect to such terminated Services, without imposing a penalty for such termination on Subscriber.
   4. Algolia shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Sub-processors to the same extent Algolia would be liable if performing the services of each Sub-processor directly under the terms of this DPA subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10 (Limitation of Liability) and the Agreement.
       
8. Covered Affiliates
   1. The parties acknowledge and agree that, by executing the Agreement, the Subscriber enters into the DPA on behalf of itself and, as applicable, in the name and on behalf of its Covered Affiliates, thereby establishing a separate DPA between Algolia and each such Covered Affiliate subject to the provisions of the Agreement, this Section 8 (Covered Affiliates) and Section 10 (Limitation of Liability). Each Covered Affiliate agrees to be bound by the obligations under this DPA and, to the extent applicable, the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a Covered Affiliate is not and does not become a party to the Agreement, and is only a party to the DPA. All access to and use of the Services by Covered Affiliates must comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and any violation of the terms and conditions of the Agreement by a Covered Affiliate shall be deemed a violation by Subscriber.
   2. Subscriber that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall remain responsible for coordinating all communication with Algolia under this DPA and be entitled to make and receive any communication in relation to this DPA on behalf of its Covered Affiliates.
   3. Where a Covered Affiliate becomes a party to the DPA with Algolia, it shall, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, be entitled to exercise the rights and seek remedies under this DPA, subject to the following:
      1. Except where applicable Data Protection Laws require the Covered Affiliate to exercise a right or seek any remedy under this DPA against Algolia directly by itself, the parties agree that (a) solely Subscriber that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall exercise any such right or seek any such remedy on behalf of the Covered Affiliate, and (b) Subscriber that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall exercise any such rights under this DPA not separately for each Covered Affiliate individually but in a combined manner for all of its Covered Affiliates together (as set forth, for example, in Section 8.3.2 below).
      2. The parties agree that Subscriber that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall, when carrying out an on-site audit of the procedures relevant to the protection of Subscriber Personal Data, take all reasonable measures to limit any impact on Algolia and its Sub- processors by combining, to the extent reasonably possible, several audit requests carried out on behalf of different Covered Affiliates in one single audit.
          
9. Restricted Transfers
   1. The parties agree that when the transfer of Subscriber Personal Data from Subscriber to Algolia is a Restricted Transfer, it shall be subject to the appropriate Standard Contractual Clauses, as follows:
      1. In relation to Subscriber Personal Data that is protected by the EU GDPR, the EU SCCs will apply as follows:
         1. Module Two will apply to the extent that Subscriber is a controller of the Subscriber Personal Data, and Module Three will apply to the extent that Subscriber is a processor of the Subscriber Personal Data on behalf of a third party controller;
         2. In Clause 7, the optional docking clause will apply;
         3. In Clause 9, Option 2 will apply, and the time period for prior notice of Sub-processor changes shall be as set out in Clause 7 of this DPA;
         4. In Clause 11, the optional language will not apply;
         5. In Clause 17, Option 1 will apply, and the EU SCCs will be governed by French law;
         6. In Clause 18(b), disputes shall be resolved before the courts of France;
         7. Annex I of the EU SCCs shall be deemed completed with (as to Part A) information set out in the Agreement with Subscriber as controller (or processor) and Algolia as processor (or sub-processor), (as to Part B) with the information set out in Attachment 1 to this DPA and (as to Part C) with the supervisory authority set out in Attachment 1 to this DPA;
         8. Annex II of the EU SCCs shall be deemed completed with the information set out in Attachment 2 to this DPA;
      2. In relation to Subscriber Personal Data that is protected by the UK GDPR, the UK Addendum will apply completed as follows:
         1. The EU SCCs, completed as set out above in clause 9.1.1 of this DPA shall also apply to transfers of such Subscriber Personal Data, subject to sub-clause 9.1.2.2 below;
         2. Tables 1 to 3 of the UK Addendum shall be deemed completed with relevant information from the EU SCCs, completed as set out above, and the options "neither party" shall be deemed checked in Table 4. The start date of the UK Addendum (as set out in Table 4) shall be the start date of the Agreement. 
      3. If any provision of this DPA contradicts, directly or indirectly, the Standard Contractual Clauses, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail.
   2. With respect to onward transfers, Algolia shall not participate in (nor permit any Sub-processor to participate in) any other Restricted Transfers of Subscriber Personal Data (whether as an exporter or an importer of the Subscriber Personal Data) unless the Restricted Transfer is made in full compliance with applicable Data Protection Laws and pursuant to Standard Contractual Clauses implemented between the relevant exporter and importer of the Subscriber Personal Data. 
       
10. Limitation of Liability
    Each party’s and all of its Affiliates’ liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or related to this DPA (including the Standard Contractual Clauses, if the Standard Contractual Clauses have been entered into in accordance with the Agreement or a DPA), and all other DPAs between Covered Affiliates and Algolia, as applicable, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, is subject to the “Limitation of Liability” section of the Agreement, and any reference in such section to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party and all of its Affiliates under the Agreement and all DPAs together and shall not be understood to apply individually and severally to Subscriber and/or any Covered Affiliate. 
     
11. Additional CCPA Terms
    Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent Subscriber Personal Data contains personal information protected under the CCPA: 
    1. Algolia may not (i) sell Subscriber Personal Data or otherwise make Subscriber Personal Data available to any third party for monetary or other valuable consideration; (ii) share Subscriber Personal Data with any third party for cross-context behavioral advertising; (iii) except as otherwise permitted by the CCPA, retain, use, or disclose Subscriber Personal Data for any purpose other than for the business purposes specified in the Agreement or outside of the direct business relationship between the parties; and (iv) except as otherwise permitted by the CCPA, combine Subscriber Personal Data with personal data that Algolia receives from or on behalf of another person or persons, or collects from its own interaction with the data subject.
    2. Algolia shall provide the same level of privacy protection as required of “businesses” by the CCPA (as such term “business” is defined by the CCPA) and will notify Subscriber promptly after making the relevant determination if it determines that it can no longer meet its obligations under the CCPA.
    3. Subscriber will have the right to take reasonable and appropriate steps to (i) ensure that Algolia uses Subscriber Personal Data in a manner consistent with Subscriber’s obligations under the CCPA in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof; and (ii) upon reasonable notice, stop and remediate unauthorized processing of Subscriber Personal Data by taking measures recommended by Algolia to minimize harm and secure Subscriber Personal Data or as set forth in Sections 4 and 5 of this DPA.
        
12. Effect of this DPA
    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and the remaining terms of the Agreement, this DPA will govern.
     
13. Updates
    Algolia may modify the DPA from time to time. Any and all changes to the DPA will be posted at http://algolia.com/policies/data-processing-addendum and the DPA will indicate the date they were last updated. Material changes will become effective thirty (30) days after posting and an adversely affected Subscriber may terminate the Agreement without penalty upon notice to Algolia within ten (10) days of the effective date of the revised DPA with the material changes applicable to Subscriber. Subscriber is deemed to accept and agree to be bound by any changes to the DPA when Subscriber uses the Service after the effective date of those changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the parties enter into, or have entered into a separate formal written data processing agreement, the terms of that agreement shall control over the terms of the DPA unless the parties expressly agree to supersede such agreement with this DPA.

      2. Redundancy. Algolia’s infrastructure has been designed to eliminate single points of failure and minimize the impact of anticipated environmental risks. This design allows Algolia to perform maintenance and improvements of the infrastructure with minimal impact on the production systems. All environmental equipment and facilities have documented preventative maintenance procedures that detail the process for and frequency of performance in accordance with the manufacturer’s or internal specifications.
      3. Power. All data centers are equipped with redundant power system with various mechanism to provide backup power, such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) batteries for short term blackouts, over voltage, under voltage or any power instabilities and diesel generators, for outages extending units of minutes, which allow the data centers to operate for days.
      4. Server Operating System. Algolia uses a Linux based operating system for the application environment with a centrally managed configuration. Algolia has established a policy to keep systems up to date with necessary security updates.
      5. Business Continuity. Algolia replicates data across multiple systems to help protect against accidental destruction or loss. Algolia has designed and regularly plans and tests its business continuity planning and disaster recovery programs.
   2. Network and Transmission
      1. Data Transmission. Algolia uses industry standard encryption schemes and protocols to encrypt data transmissions between the data centers. This is intended to prevent reading, copying or modification of the data.
      2. Intrusion Detection. Algolia employs an intrusion detection system to provide insights into ongoing attack activities and to help remediate the attack faster.
      3. Incident Response. Algolia’s security and operations personnel will promptly react to discovered security incidents and inform the involved parties.
      4. Encryption Technologies. Algolia’s servers support HTTPS encryption, ephemeral elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman cryptographic key exchange signed with RSA and ECDSA and for supported clients also perfect forward secrecy (PFS) methods to help protect traffic against compromised key or cryptographic breakthrough. Algolia uses only industry standard encryption technologies.
          
2. Access and Site Controls
   1. Site Controls
      1. Data Center Security Operations. All data centers in use by Algolia maintain 24/7 on-site security operations responsible for all the aspects of physical data center security.
      2. Data Center Access Procedures. Access to the datacenter follows Algolia’s Physical Security policy allowing only pre-approved authorized personnel to access the Algolia equipment.
      3. Data Center Security. All data centers comply with or exceed the security requirements of SOC2. All data centers are equipped with CCTV, on-site security personnel and key card access system.
   2. Access Control
      1. Access Control and Privilege Management. Subscriber’s administrators must authenticate themselves via a central authentication system or via a single sign-on system in order to administer the Services.
      2. Internal Data Access Processes and Policies – Access Policy. Algolia’s internal data access processes and policies are designed to prevent unauthorized persons or systems from getting access to systems used to process personal data. These processes are audited by an independent auditor. Algolia employs a centralized access management system to control access to production systems and servers, and only provides access to a limited number of authorized personnel. SSO, LDAP and SSH certificates are used to provide secure access mechanisms. Algolia requires the use of unique IDs, strong passwords and two factor authentication. Granting of access is guided by an internal policy. Access to the system is logged to provide an audit trail for accountability.
   3. Data
      1. Data Storage, Isolation and Logging. Algolia stores data in a combination of dedicated and multi-tenant environments on Algolia-controlled servers. The data is replicated on multiple redundant systems. Algolia also logically isolates the Subscriber’s data. Subscriber may enable data sharing, should the Services functionality allow it. Subscriber may choose to make use of certain logging capability that Algolia may make available via the Services.
      2. Decommissioned Disks and Disk Erase Policy. Disks used in servers might experience hardware failures, performance issues or errors that lead to their decommission. All decommissioned disks are securely erased if intended for reuse, or securely destroyed due to malfunction.
   4. Personnel Security
      
      Algolia personnel are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the company’s guidelines regarding confidentiality, business ethics, appropriate usage, and professional standards. Algolia conducts appropriate background checks to the extent allowed by applicable law and regulations. Personnel are required to execute a confidentiality agreement and must acknowledge receipt of, and compliance with, Algolia’s confidentiality, privacy and acceptable use policies. All personnel are provided with security training upon employment and then regularly afterwards. Algolia’s personnel will not process Subscriber Data without authorization.
   5. Sub-processor Security
      Algolia conducts audits of security and privacy practices of Sub-processors prior to onboarding the Sub- processors in order to ensure adequate level of security and privacy to data and scope of services they are engaged to provide. Once the Sub-processor audit is performed and associated risk is evaluated, the Sub- processor enters into appropriate privacy, confidentiality and security contract terms.

Security Certifications and Reports

1. Service Organization Control (SOC) Reports: Currently, Algolia’s information security control environment applicable to the Services undergoes an independent evaluation in the form of SOC2 and SOC 3 audits. To demonstrate compliance with the Security Measures, Algolia will make available for review by Subscriber Algolia’s most recent (i) SOC 2 Report and (ii) SOC 3 Report as described below.
   1. “SOC 2 Report” means a confidential Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 report on Algolia’s systems examining logical security controls, physical security controls, and system availability, as produced by Algolia’s independent third-party auditor in relation to the Services.
   2. “SOC 3 Report” means a Service Organization Control (SOC) 3 report, as produced by Algolia’s independent third-party auditor in relation to the Services.
   3. Algolia will either update the SOC2 Report and SOC 3 Report at least once every 18 months or pursue comparable audits or certifications to evaluate and help ensure the continued effectiveness of the Security Measures.
