Except as expressly set forth in this DPA or the Agreement, with respect to Personal Data, Customer is the Controller and TravelJoy is a Processor, or to the extent Customer is a Processor to a third-party Controller, TravelJoy is a subprocessor.
TravelJoy shall process Personal Data only (i) for purposes set forth in the Agreement, (ii) in a manner consistent with the documented instructions provided by Customer, which shall include the Agreement and this DPA, and (iii) as required by Privacy Laws or a supervisory authority; in such case, TravelJoy shall inform Customer of that legal requirement before processing to the extent legally permitted. The subject matter, nature, purpose, and duration of this processing, as well as the types of Personal Data collected and categories of Data Subjects involved, are described in Exhibit A to this DPA.
Customer shall, in its use of the Services, at all times process Personal Data, and provide instructions for the processing of Personal Data, in compliance with Privacy Laws. Customer shall ensure that the processing of Personal Data in accordance with Customer's instructions will not cause TravelJoy to be in breach of the Privacy Laws. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of (i) the Personal Data provided to TravelJoy by or on behalf of Customer, (ii) the means by which Customer acquired any such Personal Data, and (iii) the instructions it provides to TravelJoy regarding the processing of such Personal Data. Customer shall not provide or make available to TravelJoy any Personal Data in violation of the Agreement or otherwise inappropriate for the nature of the Services, and shall indemnify TravelJoy from all claims and losses in connection therewith. TravelJoy shall immediately notify Customer if an instruction, in TravelJoy's opinion, infringes Privacy Laws or instruction of a supervisory authority.
TravelJoy shall not: (i) sell or share Personal Data; (ii) retain, use, or disclose Personal Data outside of TravelJoy's direct business relationship with Customer or for any purpose other than for a business purpose under the CCPA on behalf of Customer or as necessary to perform the Services for Customer pursuant to the Agreement, except as otherwise permitted in Agreement or by Privacy Laws; and (iii) combine Personal Data received from, or on behalf of, Customer with Personal Data that it receives from, or on behalf of, another party or person, except as necessary to provide the Services or as otherwise instructed by Customer.
TravelJoy shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate its compliance with its obligations under this DPA. Upon Customer's written request at reasonable intervals, and subject to reasonable confidentiality controls, TravelJoy shall, either (i) make available for Customer's review copies of certifications or reports demonstrating TravelJoy's compliance with prevailing data security standards applicable to the processing of Personal Data, or (ii) if the provision of reports or certifications pursuant to (i) is not reasonably sufficient under Privacy Laws, allow Customer's independent third party representative to conduct an audit or inspection of TravelJoy's data security infrastructure and procedures that is sufficient to demonstrate TravelJoy's compliance with its obligations under Privacy Laws, provided that (a) Customer provides reasonable prior written notice of any such request for an audit and such inspection shall not be unreasonably disruptive to TravelJoy's business; (b) such audit shall only be performed during business hours and occur no more than once per calendar year; and (c) such audit shall be restricted to data relevant to Customer. Customer shall be responsible for the costs of any such audits or inspections, including without limitation a reimbursement to TravelJoy for any time expended for on-site audits. If Customer and TravelJoy have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 9 (Transfers of Personal Data), the parties agree that the audits described in Clause 8.9 of the EU SCCs shall be carried out in accordance with this Section 4.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that TravelJoy may (1) engage its affiliates as well as the Authorized Subprocessors listed in Exhibit B to this DPA to access and process Personal Data in connection with the Services and (2) from time to time engage additional third parties for the purpose of providing the Services, including without limitation the processing of Personal Data pursuant to Section 6. By way of this DPA, Customer provides general written authorization to TravelJoy to engage subprocessors as necessary to perform the Services.
A list of TravelJoy's current Authorized Subprocessors (the "List") will be made available to Customer at /sub_processors. Such List may be updated by TravelJoy from time to time. TravelJoy may provide a mechanism to subscribe to notifications of new Authorized Subprocessors and Customer agrees to subscribe to such notifications where available. At least ten (10) days before enabling any third party other than existing Authorized Subprocessors to access or participate in the processing of Personal Data, TravelJoy will add such third party to the List and notify Customer via email. Customer may object to such an engagement by informing TravelJoy within ten (10) days of receipt of the aforementioned notice to Customer, provided such objection is in writing and based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. If Customer does not object during this period, that third party will be deemed an Authorized Subprocessor. Customer acknowledges that certain subprocessors are essential to providing the Services and that objecting to the use of a subprocessor may prevent TravelJoy from offering the Services to Customer.
If Customer reasonably objects to an engagement in accordance with Section 5, and TravelJoy cannot provide a commercially reasonable alternative within a reasonable period of time, Customer may discontinue the use of the affected Service by providing written notice to TravelJoy. Discontinuation shall not relieve Customer of any fees owed to TravelJoy under the Agreement.
TravelJoy will enter into a written agreement with the Authorized Subprocessor imposing on the Authorized Subprocessor data protection obligations comparable to those imposed on TravelJoy under this DPA with respect to the protection of Personal Data. In case an Authorized Subprocessor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement with TravelJoy, TravelJoy will remain liable to Customer for the performance of the Authorized Subprocessor's obligations under such agreement.
If Customer and TravelJoy have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 9 (Transfers of Personal Data), (i) the above authorizations will constitute Customer's prior written consent to the subcontracting by TravelJoy of the processing of Personal Data if such consent is required under the Standard Contractual Clauses, and (ii) the parties agree that the copies of the agreements with Authorized Subprocessors that must be provided by TravelJoy to Customer pursuant to Clause 9(c) of the EU SCCs may have commercial information, or information unrelated to the Standard Contractual Clauses or their equivalent, removed by TravelJoy beforehand, and that such copies will be provided by TravelJoy only upon request by Customer.
TravelJoy shall ensure that any person it authorizes to process Personal Data has agreed to protect Personal Data in accordance with TravelJoy's confidentiality obligations in the Agreement. Customer agrees that TravelJoy may disclose Personal Data to its advisers, auditors or other third parties as reasonably required in connection with the performance of its obligations under this DPA, the Agreement, or the provision of Services to Customer.
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, TravelJoy shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing Personal Data, as described in Exhibit C.
In the event of a Personal Data Breach, TravelJoy shall, without undue delay, inform Customer of the Personal Data Breach and take such steps as TravelJoy in its sole discretion deems necessary and reasonable to remediate such Personal Data Breach, to the extent that remediation is within TravelJoy's reasonable control.
In the event of a Personal Data Breach, TravelJoy shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to TravelJoy, provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance necessary for Customer to comply with its obligations under Privacy Laws with respect to notifying (i) the relevant supervisory authority or regulatory agency and (ii) Data Subjects affected by such Personal Data Breach without undue delay.
The obligations described in Section 7 shall not apply in the event that a Personal Data Breach results from the actions or omissions of Customer. TravelJoy's obligation to report or respond to a Personal Data Breach under Section 7 will not be construed as an acknowledgement by TravelJoy of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach.
The parties agree that TravelJoy may transfer Personal Data processed under this DPA outside the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland as necessary to provide the Services. Customer acknowledges that TravelJoy's primary processing operations take place in the United States, and that the transfer of Personal Data to the United States is necessary for the provision of the Services to Customer. If TravelJoy transfers Personal Data protected under this DPA to a jurisdiction for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision, TravelJoy will ensure that appropriate safeguards have been implemented for the transfer of Personal Data in accordance with Privacy Laws.
The Parties agree that ex-EEA Transfers shall either be made pursuant to (i) the Data Privacy Framework to the extent the recipient of the ex-EEA Transfer is certified accordingly, or (ii) the EU SCCs, which are deemed entered into (and incorporated into this herein by reference) and completed as follows:
For each module, where applicable the following applies:
The Parties agree that ex-UK Transfers shall either be made pursuant to (i) the Data Privacy Framework to the extent that recipient of the ex-UK Transfer is certified accordingly, or (ii) the UK SCCs, which are deemed entered into and incorporated herein by reference. The UK Addendum (including the EU SCCs incorporated into it) is (1) governed by the laws of England and Wales and (2) any dispute arising from it is resolved by the courts of England and Wales.
The Parties agree that transfers from Switzerland shall either be made pursuant to (i) the Data Privacy Framework to the extent that recipient of the transfer from Switzerland is certified accordingly, or (ii) the EU SCCs with the following modifications:
In respect of any transfer of Personal data made pursuant to the Standard Contractual Clauses, the following supplementary measures shall apply:
If TravelJoy receives a Government Agency Request, TravelJoy shall attempt to redirect the government agency to Customer. As part of this effort, TravelJoy may provide Customer's basic contact information to the government agency. If TravelJoy is compelled to disclose Personal Data, to the extent legally permitted, TravelJoy shall notify Customer of the demand and reasonably cooperate to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. TravelJoy shall not voluntarily disclose Personal Data to any law enforcement or government agency. The Parties shall determine whether all or any transfers of Personal Data pursuant to this DPA should be suspended in light of such a Government Agency Request.
The Parties will confer as appropriate to consider whether: (i) the protection afforded by the laws of the country of TravelJoy to data subjects whose Personal Data is being transferred is sufficient to provide broadly equivalent protection to that afforded in the EEA or the UK, as applicable; (ii) additional measures are reasonably necessary for the transfer to comply with Privacy Laws; and (iii) it is still appropriate for Personal Data to be transferred to the relevant TravelJoy, taking into account all relevant information available, including guidance by supervisory authorities, to the Parties.
If either (i) any of the means of legitimizing a transfer cease to be valid or (ii) any supervisory authority requires transfers of Personal Data pursuant to those means to be suspended, the Parties agree to amend the means of legitimizing transfers in accordance with Privacy Laws. To the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of the Standard Contractual Clauses, the Parties shall execute the Standard Contractual Clauses as a separate agreement.
Taking into account the nature of TravelJoy's processing and the information available to TravelJoy, TravelJoy shall reasonably cooperate with Customer to conduct any data protection or privacy impact assessments as required by Privacy Laws, including by providing Customer with information and documents necessary for such assessments that Customer cannot otherwise obtain without TravelJoy's assistance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer and TravelJoy each remain responsible only for the measures respectively allocated to them under Privacy Laws pertaining to any such assessment.
TravelJoy shall, to the extent permitted by Privacy Laws, notify Customer upon receipt of Data Subject Request. If TravelJoy receives a Data Subject Request in relation to Personal Data, TravelJoy will advise the Data Subject to submit their request to Customer and Customer will be responsible for responding to such request, including, where necessary, by using the functionality of the Services. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that Data Subject Requests communicated to TravelJoy, and, if applicable, for ensuring that a record of consent to processing is maintained with respect to each Data Subject.
TravelJoy shall, at the request of Customer, and taking into account the nature of the processing applicable to any Data Subject Request, apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to assist Customer in complying with Customer's obligation to respond to such Data Subject Request and/or in demonstrating such compliance, where possible, provided that (i) Customer is itself unable to respond without TravelJoy's assistance and (ii) TravelJoy is able to do so in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Customer shall be responsible to the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by TravelJoy.
Upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement, at Customer's choice, TravelJoy shall return or delete Personal Data, unless further storage of such Personal Data is required or authorized by applicable law. If return or destruction is impracticable or prohibited by law, rule or regulation, TravelJoy shall take measures to block such Personal Data from any further processing (except to the extent necessary for its continued hosting or processing required by law, rule or regulation) and shall continue to appropriately protect the Personal Data remaining in its possession, custody, or control. If Customer and TravelJoy have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 8 (Transfers of Personal Data), the parties agree that the certification of deletion of Personal Data that is described in Clause 8.1(d) and Clause 8.5 of the EU SCCs (as applicable) shall be provided by TravelJoy to Customer only upon Customer's request.
The parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to TravelJoy Account Data and TravelJoy Usage Data, TravelJoy is an independent controller, not a joint controller with Customer. TravelJoy will process TravelJoy Account Data and TravelJoy Usage Data as a controller (i) to manage the relationship with Customer; (ii) to carry out TravelJoy's core business operations, such as accounting, audits, tax preparation and filing and compliance purposes; (iii) to monitor, investigate, prevent and detect fraud, security incidents and other misuse of the Services, and to prevent harm to Customer; (iv) for identity verification purposes; (v) to comply with legal or regulatory obligations applicable to the processing and retention of Personal Data to which TravelJoy is subject; and (vi) as otherwise permitted under Privacy Laws and in accordance with this DPA and the Agreement. TravelJoy may also process TravelJoy Usage Data as a controller to provide, optimize, and maintain the Services, to the extent permitted by Privacy Laws. Any processing by TravelJoy as a controller shall be in accordance with TravelJoy's privacy policy.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence will be: (1) the applicable terms in the Standard Contractual Clauses; (2) the terms of this DPA; (3) the Agreement, and (4) TravelJoy's privacy policy. Any claims brought in connection with this DPA will be subject to the Agreement, including, but not limited to, the exclusions and limitations set forth in the Agreement.
TravelJoy will process Personal Data as necessary to provide the Services under the Agreement, for the purposes specified in the Agreement and this DPA, and in accordance with Customer's instructions as set forth in this DPA. The nature of processing includes, without limitation:
TravelJoy will process Personal Data as long as required (i) to provide the Services to Customer under the Agreement; (ii) for TravelJoy's legitimate business needs; or (iii) by applicable law or regulation. TravelJoy Account Data and TravelJoy Usage Data will be processed and stored as set forth in TravelJoy's privacy policy.

The following includes the information required by Annex II of the EU SCCs and Appendix II of the UK Addendum.
| Technical and Organizational Security Measure | Details |
|---|---|
| Measures of pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data | All customer data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Pseudonymisation and tokenization are used where appropriate based on the sensitivity of the personal data (e.g., payment data handled via PCI-compliant providers). |
| Measures for ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services | Processing systems are hosted on AWS, leveraging regional redundancy, load balancing, and automated failover. Access is restricted through least-privilege IAM policies and network segmentation, designed to maintain confidentiality and availability. |
| Measures for ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident | Automated daily database backups, point-in-time recovery, and documented restoration procedures are in place. Disaster recovery planning establishes target recovery times and recovery points. |
| Processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures in order to ensure the security of the processing | TravelJoy conducts regular vulnerability scans, periodic third-party penetration tests, and internal security reviews. |
| Measures for user identification and authorization | Access controls include role-based access, enforced multi-factor authentication for production access, and centralized identity management with SSO. |
| Measures for the protection of data during transmission | All customer data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2+; administrative access is protected with VPN/SSH tunnels. |
| Measures for the protection of data during storage | Customer data is encrypted at rest using AES-256. Storage systems are subject to access restrictions and monitoring. |
| Measures for ensuring physical security of locations at which personal data are processed | Customer data is processed on AWS infrastructure, which provides ISO 27001-certified physical security measures (including biometric access controls, monitoring, and visitor logging). |
| Measures for ensuring events logging | System and security events, including authentication and configuration changes, are logged and monitored. Centralized log aggregation is used for analysis and retention. |
| Measures for ensuring system configuration, including default configuration | Infrastructure is managed through Infrastructure as Code with peer-reviewed changes. Hardened base images and security benchmarks are applied, and default credentials are disabled. |
| Measures for internal IT and IT security governance and management | TravelJoy maintains documented security policies and a security officer responsible for oversight. Risks and incidents are reviewed on a recurring basis. |
| Measures for certification/assurance of processes and products | TravelJoy maintains PCI DSS certification. AWS infrastructure also holds certifications such as ISO 27001 and PCI DSS. |
| Measures for ensuring data minimisation | TravelJoy collects and processes only the data reasonably necessary to deliver services or as otherwise set forth in the Agreement. Optional or sensitive fields are minimized or made configurable. |
| Measures for ensuring data quality | Input validation, automated integrity checks, and customer support processes are designed to promote accuracy and consistency of data. |
| Measures for ensuring limited data retention | Customer data is retained only as long as necessary to provide services or as otherwise set forth in the Agreement. Backups are purged after defined retention periods. |
| Measures for ensuring accountability | All employees undergo mandatory privacy and security training and are bound by confidentiality obligations. TravelJoy maintains documented incident response and access review procedures. |
| Measures for allowing data portability and ensuring erasure | Customers may request data exports (e.g., CSV/JSON) and verified deletion. Erasure processes extend to active systems and, after retention periods, backups. |
| Technical and organizational measures of subprocessors | TravelJoy requires subprocessors to enter into data protection agreements with obligations substantially similar to those in this DPA, including encryption, access control, and incident reporting. |
