For the purposes of the Clauses:
(a) ‘personal data’, ‘special categories of data’, ‘process/processing’, ‘controller’, ‘processor’, ‘data subject’ and ‘supervisory authority’ shall have the same meaning as in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data;
(b) ‘the data exporter’ means the controller who transfers the personal data;
(c) ‘the data importer’ means the processor who agrees to receive from the data exporter personal data intended for processing on his behalf after the transfer in accordance with his instructions and the terms of the Clauses and who is not subject to a third country’s system ensuring adequate protection within the meaning of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC;
(d) ‘the subprocessor’ means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other subprocessor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other subprocessor of the data importer personal data exclusively intended for processing activities to be carried out on behalf of the data exporter after the transfer in accordance with his instructions, the terms of the Clauses and the terms of the written subcontract;
(e) ‘the applicable data protection law‘ means the legislation protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and, in particular, their right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data applicable to a data controller in the Member State in which the data exporter is established;
(f) ‘technical and organisational security measures’ means those measures aimed at protecting personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of data over a network, and against all other unlawful forms of processing.
Clause 2 – Details of the transfer
The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of the Clauses.
Clause 3 – Third-party beneficiary clause
1. The data subject can enforce against the data exporter this Clause, Clause 4(b) to (i), Clause 5(a) to (e), and (g) to (j), Clause 6(1) and (2), Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12 as third-party beneficiary.
2. The data subject can enforce against the data importer this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where the data exporter has factually disappeared or has ceased to exist in law unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law, as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity.
3. The data subject can enforce against the subprocessor this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
4. The parties do not object to a data subject being represented by an association or other body if the data subject so expressly wishes and if permitted by national law.
Clause 4 – Obligations of the data exporter
The data exporter agrees and warrants:
(a) that the processing, including the transfer itself, of the personal data has been and will continue to be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the applicable data protection law (and, where applicable, has been notified to the relevant authorities of the Member State where the data exporter is established) and does not violate the relevant provisions of that State;
(b) that it has instructed and throughout the duration of the personal data processing services will instruct the data importer to process the personal data transferred only on the data exporter’s behalf and in accordance with the applicable data protection law and the Clauses;

(e) that it will ensure compliance with the security measures;
(f) that, if the transfer involves special categories of data, the data subject has been informed or will be informed before, or as soon as possible after, the transfer that its data could be transmitted to a third country not providing adequate protection within the meaning of Directive 95/46/EC;
(g) to forward any notification received from the data importer or any subprocessor pursuant to Clause 5(b) and Clause 8(3) to the data protection supervisory authority if the data exporter decides to continue the transfer or to lift the suspension;
(h) to make available to the data subjects upon request a copy of the Clauses, with the exception of Appendix 2, and a summary description of the security measures, as well as a copy of any contract for subprocessing services which has to be made in accordance with the Clauses, unless the Clauses or the contract contain commercial information, in which case it may remove such commercial information;
(i) that, in the event of subprocessing, the processing activity is carried out in accordance with Clause 11 by a subprocessor providing at least the same level of protection for the personal data and the rights of data subject as the data importer under the Clauses; and

(b) that it has no reason to believe that the legislation applicable to it prevents it from fulfilling the instructions received from the data exporter and its obligations under the contract and that in the event of a change in this legislation which is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the warranties and obligations provided by the Clauses, it will promptly notify the change to the data exporter as soon as it is aware, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;
(c) that it has implemented the technical and organisational security measures specified in Appendix 2 before processing the personal data transferred;
(d) that it will promptly notify the data exporter about:
(i) any legally binding request for disclosure of the personal data by a law enforcement authority unless otherwise prohibited, such as a prohibition under criminal law to preserve the confidentiality of a law enforcement investigation,
(ii) any accidental or unauthorised access, and
(iii) any request received directly from the data subjects without responding to that request, unless it has been otherwise authorised to do so;
(e) to deal promptly and properly with all inquiries from the data exporter relating to its processing of the personal data subject to the transfer and to abide by the advice of the supervisory authority with regard to the processing of the data transferred;

Clause 6 – Liability
1. The parties agree that any data subject, who has suffered damage as a result of any breach of the obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 by any party or subprocessor is entitled to receive compensation from the data exporter for the damage suffered.
2. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract of by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.
The data importer may not rely on a breach by a subprocessor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.
3. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the subprocessor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data subprocessor with regard to its own processing operations under the Clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
Clause 7 – Mediation and jurisdiction
1. The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:
(a) to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;
(b) to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

Clause 8 – Cooperation with supervisory authorities
1. The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.
2. The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any subprocessor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.
3. The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any subprocessor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any subprocessor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).
Clause 9 – Governing Law
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
Clause 10 – Variation of the contract
The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.
Clause 11 – Subprocessing
1. The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the subprocessor fails to fulfil
its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor’s obligations under such agreement.
2. The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
3. The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
4. The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5 (j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter’s data protection supervisory authority.
Clause 12 – Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services
1. The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
2. The data importer and the subprocessor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.
ANNEX A: FURTHER PROVISIONS
A. General Data Protection Regulation: References throughout these Clauses to Directive 95/46/EC shall be read as references to the General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) (the “Regulation”), or, if the data exporter is established in the United Kingdom (the “UK”), to the Regulation and/or any UK local law which implements or supplements the Regulation, as applicable from time to time, and in each case references to specific articles or provisions of the Directive shall be read as references to the equivalent article or provision in the Regulation or UK local law, where possible and as appropriate.
B. Onward Subprocessing: For the purposes of Clause 11 of these Clauses, the data exporter hereby consents to the data importer subcontracting any or all of its data processing operations performed under these Clauses in accordance with the DPA.
C. Data importers established in ‘adequate’ countries: To the extent monday.com Ltd. is the recipient and processor of personal data pursuant to these Clauses and is:
(i) established in a jurisdiction recognised by the European Commission (or, if the data exporter is established in the UK, then recognized by the relevant authorities in the UK) as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data, the terms of the DPA concerning transfers of personal data to other countries shall apply, such that these Clauses will apply solely on onward transfer of the imported data to monday.com Ltd.’s sub-processors that are located in a jurisdiction not recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data; or
(ii) established in a jurisdiction not recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data, monday.com Ltd. shall be the data importer for the purposes of these Clauses.
D. Data exporters established outside the European Economic Area: To the extent the data exporter pursuant to these Clauses is established in a jurisdiction outside the European Economic Area, these Clauses shall apply solely in respect of transfers of personal data concerning individuals residing within the European Economic Area. In such cases, references to “Member State” shall be read as references to the Member State applicable in respect of the data exporter’s processing activities in relation to these Clauses which concern personal data of individuals residing within the European Economic Area.
E. Instructions: For the purposes of Clause 5(a) of the Standard Contractual Clauses, the processing described in the DPA and any other mutually agreed upon written instrument by data exporter and data importer constitute as data exporter’s instructions to data importer at the time of entering the DPA and/or such written instrument, to process Personal Data on data exporter’s behalf. Any additional or alternate instructions shall be subject to the terms of the DPA.
F. Suspension of Data Transfers and Termination: If, pursuant to Clause 5(a), the data exporter intends to suspend the transfer of personal data and/or terminate these Clauses, it shall provide notice to the data importer and provide data importer with 30 days to cure the non-compliance (“Cure Period”). If after the Cure Period the data importer has not or cannot cure the non-compliance then the data exporter may suspend or terminate the
transfer of personal data immediately. The data exporter shall not be required to provide such notice in instances where it considers there is a material risk of harm to data subjects or their personal data. Notwithstanding any other terms in this Section F, in the event these Clauses cease to be an appropriate safeguard for the transfer of the personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection law by virtue of a binding decision by a competent supervisory authority, the terms of the DPA concerning modifications necessary pursuant to legislative and regulatory changes shall apply.
G. Data importer’s assistance: In the event the data exporter seeks to conduct any assessment of the adequacy of these Clauses for the protection of the personal data being transferred, the data importer shall provide reasonable assistance to the data exporter for the purpose of any such assessment.
H. Audit Rights: Data exporter acknowledges and agrees that it exercises its audit right under Clause 5(f) and Clause 12.2 by instructing data importer to comply with the audit measures described in the DPA.
I. Transfers from Switzerland: Notwithstanding Section D above, in respect of data transfers from a data exporter established in Switzerland, these Clauses shall be interpreted in accordance with the governing law in Switzerland. In such cases, references throughout these Clauses to Directive 95/46/EC shall be read as references to the relevant legislation in Switzerland concerning data protection, privacy, data security or the handling of information about individuals applicable to the data exporter, and defined terms in Clause 1 shall have the meanings given to them (or reasonably equivalent terms) in such legislation. References to “Member State” shall be read as references to Switzerland. Without prejudice to Section A above, the parties further agree that that in respect of data transfers where, under applicable privacy laws, the definition of “personal data” (or such reasonably equivalent term) extends to information relating to legal entities, references in these Clauses to “personal data” shall also include information relating to legal entities. The parties further agree that, where required by applicable law or upon the request of the relevant supervisory authority, they will do all such further acts as may reasonably be required to grant effect to this Section H, including (but not limited to) executing all documents.
