2. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES; PROCESSING OF DATA
- The parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the processing of Personal Data, Customer may act either as a controller or processor and, except as expressly set forth in this Addendum or the Agreement, Company is a processor. 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 Data Protection Laws. Customer shall ensure that the processing of Personal Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions will not cause Company to be in breach of the Data Protection Laws. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of (i) the Personal Data provided to Company by or on behalf of Customer, (ii) the means by which Customer acquired any such Personal Data, and (iii) the instructions it provides to Company regarding the processing of such Personal Data. Customer shall not provide or make available to Company any Personal Data in violation of the Agreement or otherwise inappropriate for the nature of the Services.
- Company shall not process Personal Data (i) for purposes other than those set forth in the Agreement and/or Exhibit A, (ii) in a manner inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this Addendum or any other documented instructions provided by Customer, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organization, unless required to do so by a Supervisory Authority to which the Company is subject; in such a case, the Company shall inform the Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest, or (iii) in violation of Data Protection Laws. Customer hereby instructs Company to process Personal Data in accordance with the foregoing and as part of any processing initiated by Customer in its use of the Services.
- The subject matter, nature, purpose, and duration of this processing, as well as the types of Personal Data collected and categories of Data Subjects, are described in Exhibit A to this Addendum.
- Following completion of the Services, at Customer’s choice, Company shall return or delete Customer’s 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, Company 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 Company have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6 (Transfers of Personal Data), the parties agree that the certification of deletion of Personal Data that is described in Clause 8.5 of the Standard Contractual Clauses shall be provided by Company to Customer only upon Customer’s request.
- CCPA. Except with respect to Customer Account Data and Customer Usage Data, the parties acknowledge and agree that Company is a service provider for the purposes of the CCPA (to the extent it applies) and is receiving personal information from Customer in order to provide the Services pursuant to the Agreement, which constitutes a business purpose. Company shall not sell any such personal information. Company shall not retain, use or disclose any personal information provided by Customer pursuant to the Agreement except as necessary for the specific purpose of performing the Services for Customer pursuant to the Agreement, or otherwise as set forth in the Agreement or as permitted by the CCPA. The terms “personal information,” “service provider,” “sale,” and “sell” are as defined in Section 1798.140 of the CCPA. Company certifies that it understands the restrictions of this Section 2.5.
3. Confidentiality
Company shall ensure that any person it authorizes to process Personal Data has agreed to protect Personal Data in accordance with Company’s confidentiality obligations in the Agreement. Customer agrees that Company 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 Addendum, the Agreement, or the provision of Services to Customer.
4. AUTHORIZED SUB-PROCESSORS
- Customer acknowledges and agrees that Company may (1) engage its affiliates and the Authorized Sub-Processors identified on the List (as defined below) 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. By way of this Addendum, Customer provides general written authorization to Company to engage sub-processors as necessary to perform the Services.
- A list of Company’s current Authorized Sub-Processors (the “List”) will be made available to Customer at the following link: https://www.prefect.io/security/sub-processors/. Such List may be updated by Company from time to time. Company may provide a mechanism to subscribe to notifications of new Authorized Sub-Processors and Customer agrees to subscribe to such notifications where available. At least thirty (30) days before enabling any third party other than existing Authorized Sub-Processors to access or participate in the processing of Personal Data, Company will add such third party to the List and notify Customer via email. Customer may object to such an engagement by informing Company in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of the aforementioned notice by Customer, provided such objection is based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. Customer acknowledges that certain sub-processors are essential to providing the Services and that objecting to the use of a sub-processor may prevent Company from offering the Services to Customer.
- If a Sub-Processor change would cause Company to breach its obligations under the Agreement and this Addendum, Customer may terminate the Agreement in accordance with Sections 7.2 (Defaults) and 7.3 (Termination; Other Remedies) of the Agreement. If Customer does not object to the engagement of a third party in accordance with Section 4.2 within thirty (30) days of notice by Company, that third party will be deemed an Authorized Sub-Processor for the purposes of this Addendum.
- Company will enter into a written agreement with the Authorized Sub-Processor imposing on the Authorized Sub-Processor data protection obligations comparable to those imposed on Company under this Addendum with respect to the protection of Personal Data. In case an Authorized Sub-Processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement with Company, Company will remain liable to Customer for the performance of the Authorized Sub-Processor’s obligations under such agreement.
- With respect to the Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6 (Transfers of Personal Data), (i) the above authorizations will constitute Customer’s prior written consent to the subcontracting by Company 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 Sub-Processors that must be provided by Company to Customer pursuant to Clause 9(c) of the Standard Contractual Clauses may have commercial information, or information unrelated to the Standard Contractual Clauses or their equivalent, removed by the Company beforehand, and that such copies will be provided by the Company only upon request by Customer.
5. SECURITY OF PERSONAL DATA
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, Company shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing Personal Data. Exhibit C references additional information about Company’s technical and organizational security measures.
6. TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA
- The parties agree that Company may transfer Personal Data processed under this Addendum outside the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland as necessary to provide the Services. Customer acknowledges that Company’s primary processing operations take place in the United States, and that the transfer of Customer’s Personal Data to the United States is necessary for the provision of the Services to Customer. If Company transfers Personal Data protected under this Addendum to a jurisdiction for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision, Company will ensure that appropriate safeguards have been implemented for the transfer of Personal Data in accordance with Data Protection Laws.
- Ex-EEA Transfers. The parties agree that ex-EEA Transfers are made pursuant to the EU SCCs, which are deemed entered into (and incorporated into this Addendum by this reference) and completed as follows:
- Module Two (Controller to Processor) of the EU SCCs apply when Customer is a controller and Company is processing Personal Data for Customer as a processor pursuant to Section 2 of this Addendum.
- Module Three (Processor to Sub-Processor) of the EU SCCs apply when Customer is a processor and Company is processing Personal Data on behalf of Customer as a sub-processor.
- For each module, where applicable the following applies:

- In Clause 9, Option 2 (general written authorization) applies, and the minimum time period for prior notice of sub-processor changes shall be as set forth in Section 4.2 of this Addendum;
- In Clause 11, the optional language does not apply;
- All square brackets in Clause 13 are hereby removed;
- In Clause 17 (Option 1), the EU SCCs will be governed by the laws of Ireland;

- Exhibit B to this Addendum contains the information required in Annex I of the EU SCCs;
- Exhibit C to this Addendum contains the information required in Annex II of the EU SCCs; and
- By entering into this Addendum, the parties are deemed to have signed the EU SCCs incorporated herein, including their Annexes.
- Ex-UK Transfers. The parties agree that ex-UK Transfers are made pursuant to the UK SCCs, which are deemed entered into and incorporated into this Addendum by reference, and completed as follows:
- The information required by Tables 1 – 3 of the template International Data Transfer Addendum is provided in the Agreement, this Addendum and the Exhibits below.
- References to the EU, member states and GDPR in the Standard Contractual Clauses are amended mutatis mutandis to refer to the United Kingdom, the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (as it may be updated or replaced from time to time), and the ICO.
- In Clause 17 (Governing Law), the laws of England and Wales shall govern, and in Clause 18 (Choice of forum and jurisdiction), the courts in London, England shall have jurisdiction. A data subject may also bring legal proceedings against the data exporter and/or data importer before the courts of any country in the UK.
- If there is any inconsistency or conflict between UK Data Protection Laws (including the template International Data Transfer Addendum) and the Standard Contractual Clauses, UK Data Protection Laws will govern data transfers from the United Kingdom.
- If the meaning of any provision of this Addendum or the UK SCCs is unclear or there is more than one meaning, the meaning which most closely aligns with UK Data Protection Laws applies.
- Any references to legislation (or specific provisions of legislation) means that legislation (or specific provision) as it may change over time. This includes where that legislation (or specific provision) has been consolidated, re-enacted and/or replaced after these UK SCCs have been entered into.
- Although Clause 5 of the Standard Contractual Clauses says that the Standard Contractual Clauses prevail over all related agreements between the parties, the parties agree that the UK SCCs will supersede other provisions of the Standard Contractual Clauses regarding data transfers from the United Kingdom.
- Transfers from Switzerland. The parties agree that transfers from Switzerland are made pursuant to the EU SCCs with the following modifications:
- The terms “General Data Protection Regulation” or “Regulation (EU) 2016/679” as utilized in the EU SCCs shall be interpreted to include the Federal Act on Data Protection of 19 June 1992 (the “FADP,” and as revised as of 25 September 2020, the “Revised FADP”) with respect to data transfers subject to the FADP.
- The terms of the EU SCCs shall be interpreted to protect the data of legal entities until the effective date of the Revised FADP.
- Clause 13 of the EU SCCs is modified to provide that the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (“FDPIC”) of Switzerland shall have authority over data transfers governed by the FADP and the appropriate EU supervisory authority shall have authority over data transfers governed by the GDPR. Subject to the foregoing, all other requirements of Section 13 shall be observed.
- The term “EU Member State” as utilized in the EU SCCs shall not be interpreted in such a way as to exclude Data Subjects in Switzerland from exercising their rights in their place of habitual residence in accordance with Clause 18(c) of the EU SCCs.
- Supplementary Measures. In respect of any ex-EEA Transfer or ex-UK Transfer, the following supplementary measures shall apply:
- As of the date of this Addendum, the Data Importer has not received any formal legal requests from any government intelligence or security service/agencies in the country to which the Personal Data is being exported, for access to (or for copies of) Customer’s Personal Data (“Government Agency Requests”);
- If, after the date of this Addendum, the Data Importer receives any Government Agency Requests, Company shall attempt to redirect the law enforcement or government agency to request that data directly from Customer. As part of this effort, Company may provide Customer’s basic contact information to the government agency. If compelled to disclose Customer’s Personal Data to a law enforcement or government agency, Company shall give Customer reasonable notice of the demand and cooperate to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless Company is legally prohibited from doing so. Company shall not voluntarily disclose Personal Data to any law enforcement or government agency. Data Exporter and Data Importer shall (as soon as reasonably practicable) discuss and determine whether all or any transfers of Personal Data pursuant to this Addendum should be suspended in the light of the such Government Agency Requests; and
- The Data Exporter and Data Importer will meet regularly to consider whether:
- the protection afforded by the laws of the country of the Data Importer 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, whichever the case may be;
- additional measures are reasonably necessary to enable the transfer to be compliant with the Data Protection Laws; and
- it is still appropriate for Personal Data to be transferred to the relevant Data Importer, taking into account all relevant information available to the parties, together with guidance provided by the supervisory authorities.
- If Data Protection Laws require the Data Exporter to execute the Standard Contractual Clauses applicable to a particular transfer of Personal Data to a Data Importer as a separate agreement, the Data Importer shall, on request of the Data Exporter, promptly execute such Standard Contractual Clauses incorporating such amendments as may reasonably be required by the Data Exporter to reflect the applicable appendices and annexes, the details of the transfer and the requirements of the relevant Data Protection Laws.
- If either (i) any of the means of legitimizing transfers of Personal Data outside of the EEA or UK set forth in this Addendum cease to be valid or (ii) any supervisory authority requires transfers of Personal Data pursuant to those means to be suspended, then Data Importer may by notice to the Data Exporter, with effect from the date set out in such notice, amend or put in place alternative arrangements in respect of such transfers, as required by Data Protection Laws.

- The obligations described in Sections 8.6 and 8.7 shall not apply in the event that a Personal Data Breach results from the actions or omissions of Customer. Company’s obligation to report or respond to a Personal Data Breach under Sections 8.6 and 8.7 will not be construed as an acknowledgement by Company of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach.

Description of the Technical and Organisational Security Measures implemented by the Data Importer
The following includes the information required by Annex II of the EU SCCs and Appendix 2 of the UK SCCs.
On Customer’s request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations Prefect will provide to Customer a copy of its current SOC 2 audit report and other applicable certifications.
Measures of pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data
Processing is conducted on secure servers hosted on Google Cloud Platform. All storage systems are encrypted with industry standard algorithms. Data is encrypted in transit at all times. Access to Prefect systems is based on least privilege and a minimal set of engineers have access to Prefect production systems based on role.
All laptops are encrypted and enforced using MDM.
Measures for ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services
Prefect runs highly available cloud services on Google Cloud Platform. Prefect conducts an annual penetration test with a third party and runs annual company wide disaster recovery and business continuity playbook simulations. Audits of system access logs and user access logs are conducted quarterly for critical production systems and bi-annualy for all other systems.
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
Prefect runs a highly available, multi-regional database system on Google Cloud Platform. Prefect tests disaster recovery simulations annually.
Processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures in order to ensure the security of the processing
Prefect attained SOC 2 Type II certification in February 2022. The SOC 2 Type II report is available upon request and outlines our company-wide controls for the security of our data and systems and to ensure the availability of our services to our users.
Measures for user identification and authorization
Access to all critical systems and production environments is protected using strong passwords and multi-factor authentication. Where possible, SSO is used for centralized access control.
Measures for the protection of data during transmission
Traffic is encrypted at all times and a minimum of TLS 1.2 is enforced on all our endpoints.
Measures for the protection of data during storage
All storage systems are encrypted with industry standard algorithms.
Measures for ensuring physical security of locations at which personal data are processed
Prefect does not maintain physical servers, and employees do not download sensitive data to their machines.
Measures for ensuring events logging
Prefect logs application events with tracing and monitoring tools and logs security events with intrusion detection and prevention tools. These tools are configured with defined thresholds, alerting policies and machine learning. Notifications for events are sent to Company Slack channels, paging systems (if applicable) and ticketing system for triage and remediation.
Measures for ensuring system configuration, including default configuration
Prefect runs infrastructure-as-code and therefore all changes to our systems follow our standard PR approval process. In addition, we have a change control procedure that manages all changes that occur outside of code control.
Measures for internal IT and IT security governance and management
Chris White is our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). This role oversees our day-to-day operations to ensure a secure environment, in addition setting security standards that apply to our organization as a whole.
Measures for certification/assurance of processes and products
Prefect attained SOC 2 Type II certification in February 2022. The SOC 2 Type II report is available on request and outlines our company-wide controls for the security of our data and systems and to ensure the availability of our services to our users.
Measures for ensuring data minimisation
Prefect uses a hybrid approach to managing and orchestrating customer workflows in their respective environments. Because of this hybrid approach, Prefect collects minimal user details for user management and login access to our cloud, and for the workflow orchestration itself, we only depend on Prefect’s workflow metadata. All customer code and data is executed and stored in the customer environment and not collected by Prefect on Prefect servers.
Measures for ensuring data quality
Prefect maintains a formal process for making non-automated changes to production data, and Prefect Cloud’s API is strongly typed to ensure payloads are structured correctly.
Measures for ensuring limited data retention
Prefect retains sensitive and confidential data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is collected and processed. Prefect provides customers with a process to request full account and data deletion.
Measures for ensuring accountability
All Prefect employees conduct annual training of security awareness and incident response. All employees are required to sign the Prefect Employee Handbook and Information Security Policy. All engineers are required to conduct additional training on Secure Coding.
Measures for allowing data portability and ensuring erasure
Prefect provides customers with a process to request full account and data deletion.
Technical and organizational measures of sub-processors
The Company enters into Data Processing Agreements with its Authorized Sub-Processors with data protection obligations substantially similar to those contained in this Addendum.
