CONFIDENTIALITY.
Confidential Information.

The Recipient shall protect the Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access or disclosure using no less than a commercially reasonable degree of care. The Recipient will be responsible for any breach of this Section 6 caused by its Representatives. The term “Confidential Information” means all non-public, proprietary or confidential information of the Disclosing Party, in oral, visual, written, electronic or other tangible or intangible form, whether or not marked or designated as “confidential” and all notes, analyses, summaries, reports and other materials prepared by the Recipient or any of its Representatives that contain, are based on or otherwise reflect, to any degree, any of the foregoing. Confidential Information, in any event, may not be reverse engineered, decompiled or disassembled by Recipient. Confidential Information as used herein shall not include information that:
is or becomes generally available to and known by the public (other than as a result of the Recipient’s or its Representatives’ breach of this Agreement);
is or becomes available to the Recipient from a source other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives, provided that such source, was not and is not bound by a confidentiality agreement regarding the Disclosing Party or its Affiliates, or otherwise prohibited from disclosing such information to the Recipient by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation;
was already known by or in the possession of the Recipient, as established by documentary evidence, prior to being disclosed to the Recipient by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party pursuant to this Agreement; or
has been or is independently developed by the Recipient, as established by documentary evidence, without violating any of its obligations under this Agreement or use of or reference to, in whole or in part, any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
Disclosure Required. If the Recipient or any of its Representatives is required to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information by Applicable Law or valid court order, the Recipient shall, if it can lawfully do so, notify the Disclosing Party of such requirements so that the Disclosing Party may seek, at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, a protective order or other remedy, and the Recipient shall reasonably assist the Disclosing Party therewith. If the Recipient remains legally compelled to make such disclosure, it shall: (a) only disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that it is required to disclose; and (b) use reasonable efforts to ensure that such Confidential Information is afforded confidential treatment.
Disclosure of Payment Terms. Publisher hereby acknowledges and agrees that Clients, or DSPs on behalf of Clients, may request disclosure from RevAmp of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to, revenue share and payment terms (the “Publisher Agreement Terms”). Publisher hereby agrees and consents to the disclosure by RevAmp of the Publisher Agreement Terms to any Client, or DSP, upon request.
Remedies. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Section 6 by a Party will cause injury to the other Party for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy and that, in addition to remedies at law, the Disclosing Party is entitled to injunctive or equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of proving damages or posting bond or other security for damages. This provision will not be construed to limit any other rights or remedies available to the Disclosing Party.
No Transfer of Rights, Title or Interest. Each Party hereby retains its entire right, title and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights and all other rights, in and to all of its Confidential Information. Any disclosure of such Confidential Information hereunder shall not be construed as an assignment, grant, option, license or other transfer of any such right, title or interest whatsoever to the other Party or any of its Representatives.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, RevAmp will have no liability for any claim to the extent it is based on Publisher’s written specifications or direction (but excluding where the claim results from the method or manner chosen by RevAmp to implement such specifications or direction), or otherwise arises solely from Publisher’s unauthorized use of the Services. In the event that the Services are held to or believed by RevAmp to infringe, RevAmp will have the option to: (x) replace or modify such item to be non-infringing, provided that such modification or replacement contains substantially similar features and functionality; (y) obtain for Publisher the right to continue using such item; or (z) if both (x) and (y) are not reasonably practicable, terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Publisher.
Any claim for indemnification hereunder shall be subject to the following provisions: (i) the representations, warranties and covenants of the indemnifying Party, and the indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified Party or by reason of the fact that the indemnified Party or any of its representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate; and (ii) the indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice of the discovery of any state of facts or circumstances that the indemnified Party has determined could give rise to an indemnification claim under this Section 7.3. The indemnified Party’s failure to provide such notice to the indemnifying Party under this Section 7 does not relieve the indemnifying Party of any liability that the indemnifying Party may have to the indemnified Party, but in no event shall the indemnifying Party be liable for any losses that result from a delay in providing such notice.

SUBJECT MATTER, NATURE, PURPOSE AND DURATION. These Personal Data Processing Terms (in this Schedule, “these Terms”) apply in respect of all Processing of Publisher Personal Data under or in connection with this Agreement, whether by or on behalf of Publisher or RevAmp. Such Processing: (a) is automated (but any such Processing by RevAmp is initiated by Publisher submitting an Ad Request to RevAmp); (b) is for the Purpose; and (c) will continue during the Term of this Agreement and thereafter until all Publisher Personal Data Processed by RevAmp or Publisher under or in connection with this Agreement has been deleted or returned to the Controller or is no longer Processed under or in connection with this Agreement (as the case may be). These Terms will remain in effect for so long as any such Processing continues, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES. Publisher is the Controller in respect of the Publisher Personal Data. RevAmp is a Processor which Processes the Publisher Personal Data on behalf of the Publisher.
REVAMP PROCESSING OF THE PUBLISHER PERSONAL DATA.
Processing by RevAmp. RevAmp shall:
Process the Publisher Personal Data only on documented instructions from Publisher, unless RevAmp is required to Process such data by EU or Member State law to which it is subject (in which case, RevAmp shall inform Publisher of that legal requirement before such Processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest). By agreeing to these Terms, Publisher hereby instructs RevAmp to Process the Publisher Personal Data provided to RevAmp under or in connection with this Agreement, for the Purpose and in accordance with these Terms. RevAmp shall not Process the Publisher Personal Data except for the Purpose;
ensure that persons authorised to Process the Publisher Personal Data by or on behalf of RevAmp have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality;
taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing, as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, and comply with the other requirements of Article 32 of the GDPR;
taking into account the nature of the processing, assist Publisher by appropriate technical and organisational measures, in so far as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Publisher’s obligations as Controller to respond to requests for exercising applicable Data Subjects’ rights with respect to their Publisher Personal Data laid down in Chapter III of the GDPR (Rights of the Data Subject);
taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to RevAmp, assist Publisher, upon Publisher’s reasonable request from time to time, in ensuring compliance with Publisher’s obligations under Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR;
notify Publisher promptly if RevAmp becomes aware of a breach of security resulting in the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, Publisher Personal Data (a “Security Incident”), provided that the provision of such notice by RevAmp shall not be construed as an acknowledgement of fault or liability with respect to any such Security Incident; and
at the choice of Publisher, delete or return all Publisher Personal Data to Publisher within thirty (30) days after the end of the provision of the Services to Publisher, and delete existing copies, unless EU or Member State law requires storage of such Personal Data.
RevAmp Subprocessors. Publisher hereby grants RevAmp general authorisation to engage Subprocessors to assist RevAmp in Processing Publisher Personal Data in accordance with these Terms. RevAmp shall enter into contractual arrangements with such Subprocessors requiring the same level of data protection compliance and information security as that provided for in these Terms. Where any such Subprocessor fails to fulfil its obligations in respect of any Publisher Personal Data, RevAmp shall remain fully liable to Publisher for the performance of such obligations. RevAmp shall inform Publisher of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of any such Subprocessors, thereby giving Publisher the opportunity to object to such changes.
PUBLISHER OBLIGATIONS.
Publisher Obligations as Controller. Publisher shall:
comply with its obligations as the Controller, under the European Data Protection Laws, in respect of all Processing of Publisher Personal Data under or in connection with this Agreement;
ensure that all instructions issued by it to RevAmp in respect of any Processing of Publisher Personal Data are lawful;
provide or ensure that there are provided to all Users to whom any Publisher Personal Data relates all notices and information concerning the Processing of their Publisher Personal Data under or in connection with this Agreement, as are required by European Data Protection Laws;
ensure that the Processing of Publisher Personal Data by Publisher and by RevAmp under or in connection with this Agreement shall have a lawful basis of Processing pursuant to Article 6 of the GDPR. In each case where consent is the lawful basis for such Processing (including for any use of cookies, other local storage, or other means of collection of information from Users’ devices), Publisher shall obtain, or shall ensure that there shall have been obtained, the consent, in accordance with European Data Protection Law, of each User for such Processing of their Publisher Personal Data.
Provision of Information. If at any time so requested by RevAmp, Publisher shall promptly provide to RevAmp such information as RevAmp may reasonably require in order to demonstrate Publisher’s compliance with its obligations under these Terms. However, to avoid doubt, RevAmp is not obliged to check such compliance or to advise Publisher in relation thereto, and such compliance is exclusively Publisher’s responsibility.
PROCESSING OUTSIDE THE EEA.
Safeguards by RevAmp. Where Publisher Personal Data to the Processing of which the GDPR applies is to be Processed by or on behalf of RevAmp outside the EEA, or is to be Processed outside the EEA by any person who obtains such Publisher Personal Data from RevAmp, RevAmp shall ensure that a similar degree of protection is afforded to it as is afforded to it within the EU. RevAmp may do this by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
Such Processing takes place within a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data by the European Commission.
Such Processing is done within the United States of America by a person who is a participant in the Privacy Shield and is therefore committed to comply with the Privacy Shield Principles. RevAmp warrants that as at the Effective Date of this Agreement it is a participant in the Privacy Shield.
Such Processing is done by a person under the terms of a form of contract approved by the European Commission which gives Personal Data the same protection it has in the EU.
Other measures are taken so that a similar degree of protection is afforded to such Publisher Personal Data, as within the EU, and such Processing is lawful.
Standard Contractual Clauses. Any transfer to RevAmp by Publisher of Publisher Personal Data under or in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to be subject to the terms of the Standard Contractual Clauses, which are hereby incorporated by reference and deemed to be made a part of these Terms in their entirety. If and to the extent that the specific details to be completed within the Standard Contractual Clauses can be imputed from the details appearing in these Terms or elsewhere in this Agreement, they shall be so imputed. If and to the extent that the specific details to be completed within the Standard Contractual Clauses cannot be so imputed, or either Party requires them to be expressly completed, the other Party shall cooperate in completing such details to the requesting Party’s reasonable satisfaction.
Conflicts of Terms. If and to the extent that the Standard Contractual Clauses (with specific details completed, as above) are inconsistent with any of these Terms, or with any other terms of this Agreement, the Standard Contractual Clauses will prevail. If and to the extent that these Terms are inconsistent with any other terms of this Agreement, these Terms will prevail.
