7. 3scale.net Specific Terms. The following terms apply specifically with respect to 3scale.net.

Usage Conditions. API Calls generated in both production and non-production environments will count towards the number of API Calls. It is your responsibility to purchase Subscriptions in an amount that can reasonably accommodate traffic spikes consistent with the level of Subscriptions you have purchased. Without limiting the foregoing obligation, Red Hat reserves the right to suspend the Red Hat Online Services without notice if your API Call volumes exceed four times (4x) the per second limit. "Per second limit" means two times the maximum number of API Calls allowable per day in your contracted Subscription tier divided by the number of seconds in a day rounded up to the nearest whole number. For example, if your maximum API Calls per day is Three Million (3,000,000), the per second limit would be equal to Seventy (70). Red Hat reserves the right to suspend the Red Hat Online Subscriptions if your API call volumes exceed the maximum limits of Fifty Million (50,000,000) per day, Thirty Thousand (30,000) per minute or One Thousand (1,000) per second, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. There is no limit on the number of environments and locations where you maybe deploy API management agents.

Utilization Policy. Red Hat evaluates quota compliance on a monthly basis. If your actual API calls exceed the Daily Limit for two or more days per month, you will either (a) reduce traffic consumption to return to compliance with the number of Units you purchased; or (b) purchase additional Subscription Services. Red Hat also reserves the right to evaluate your API Call volume on a per second limit basis (defined above) in a two week period ("Throughput"). For purposes of calculating Throughput, Red Hat will remove the top 5% peaks of your API Calls during that period. In other words, Throughput can exceed the amount of API Calls you have purchased 5% of the time in each of the 2 weeks. If your Throughput exceeds the rate you purchased more than 5% of the time during the month, you will either (a) reduce traffic consumption to return to compliance with the number of Units you purchased or (b) purchase additional Subscriptions.

Data Retention Policy. During your use of 3scale.net Services, Red Hat may calculate and optionally store statistics and/or logs of the your traffic that you report using the provided 3scale APIs. Red Hat may limit the period of storage of this statistical data depending on your contract type and makes no commitment with respect to free accounts and may remove stored statistical data at any time with no warning.

This Data Processing Addendum ("Addendum") is by and between Red Hat Inc. ("Red Hat") and Client (defined below) and shall apply when Red Hat Processes Personal Data disclosed to it by Client as part of Your Content under the Red Hat Online Services Agreement (the "Agreement"). This Addendum is incorporated into the Agreement. This Addendum applies where and only to the extent that Red Hat is acting as a Processor or Subprocessor of Personal Data in the course of providing Online Services to Client (who is acting as a Controller or Processor on behalf of other Controllers) under the Agreement. This Addendum is intended to demonstrate the parties’ compliance with EEA Data Protection Law and with any other data protection laws identified at https://www.redhat.com/en/about/agreements/dpl (together “Data Protection Laws”).

1. Defined Terms. Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Agreement. For purposes of this Addendum, words and phrases in this Addendum shall, to the greatest extent possible, have the meanings given to them in the applicable Data Protection Laws. In particular:

(a) “Client” means the customer entity that has executed the Agreement or “You” as such term is defined in the Agreement.

(b) “Controller” has the meaning given to it in the applicable Data Protection Laws.

(c) “Data Subject” has the meaning given to it in the applicable Data Protection Laws.

(d) “EEA Data Protection Law" means Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (“General Data Protection Regulation” or "GDPR"), and laws implemented by EEA members, which contain derogations from, or exemptions or authorizations for the purposes of, the GDPR, or which are otherwise intended to supplement the GDPR or convert the GDPR into domestic law.

(e) “EU Standard Contractual Clauses” or “Clauses” means the standard contractual clauses, including Annexes I and II, for the transfer of personal data to third countries pursuant to the GDPR,  with optional clauses applied (except for option 1 of Clause 9(a), the optional language in Clause 11(a), and option 2 of Clause 17), as officially published by the European Commission Implementing Decision 2021/914, dated 4 June 2021, and as updated or replaced by the European Commission from time to time.

(f) “Personal Data” has the meaning given to it in the applicable Data Protection Laws.

(g) “Process” or “Processing” has the meaning given to it in the applicable Data Protection Laws.

(h) “Processor” has the meaning given to it in the applicable Data Protection Laws.

(i) “Subprocessor” means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of a Processor (including any affiliate of the Processor).

2. Details of Processing. Red Hat shall undertake to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that its Processing of Personal Data will meet the requirements of the applicable Data Protection Laws and ensure the protection of the rights and freedoms of the Data Subjects. The context for the Processing of the Controller’s Personal Data by Red Hat is the performance of Red Hat’s obligations under the Agreement, and Red Hat will Process such Personal Data until the expiration or termination of the Agreement unless otherwise instructed in writing by Client. The types of Personal Data, the categories of Data Subjects and other details of the Processing activities are described in Annex I of this Appendix B.

3. Subprocessors. Client provides general authorisation to Red Hat to engage and use Subprocessors to fulfil its contractual obligations to Client under the Agreement or to provide certain Online Services on behalf of Red Hat, such as providing hosting and infrastructure services.  Client consents to Red Hat’s use of Subprocessors for such purposes. A list of the current applicable Subprocessors is available on the Red Hat Customer Portal (https://red.ht/subprocessors) or on written request from Client. Red Hat will provide advance notice to Client of any addition or replacement of the Subprocessors by updating the Subprocessor list published on the Red Hat Customer Portal or as otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing. Additionally, Client may subscribe on the Red Hat Customer Portal to an automatic notification of changes to the Subprocessor list. Within thirty (30) days after Red Hat’s notification of the intended change, Client can object to any new Subprocessor on the basis that such addition would cause Client to violate applicable legal requirements. If Client objects to Red Hat’s use of any new Subprocessor by giving written notice to Red Hat within thirty (30) days of being informed by Red Hat of the appointment of such new Subprocessor and Red Hat fails to provide a commercially reasonable alternative to avoid the Processing of Personal Data by such Subprocessor within thirty (30) days of Red Hat’s receipt of Client’s objection, Client may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate any Online Services that cannot be provided by Red Hat without the use of the objected to new Subprocessor. If Client does not object within such period, the respective Subprocessor may be commissioned to Process Personal Data. Client agrees to treat the list of Subprocessors as Red Hat’s Confidential Information under the terms of the Agreement. Subprocessors are required to abide by the same level of data protection and security as Red Hat under this Addendum as applicable to their Processing of Personal Data and Red Hat will remain responsible to Client for any acts or omissions of any Subprocessor that cause Red Hat to breach any of Red Hat’s obligations under this Addendum. Red Hat will restrict the Subprocessors’ access to, and Processing of, Personal Data only to what is necessary to provide products or services to Client in accordance with the Agreement.

4. Processing Obligations. In accordance with Data Protection Laws:

(b) Red Hat shall ensure that persons authorized to Process the Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality;

(c) Red Hat shall implement the measures set forth in Annex II and as set forth in the Agreement to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks that are presented by Red Hat’s Processing 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;

(d) Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Red Hat shall assist Client by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Controller’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising Data Subjects’ rights;

(f) Upon Client’s written request, Red Hat shall either delete or return to Client all of the Personal Data in Red Hat’s possession after the end of the provision of products or services relating to Processing, unless otherwise required by applicable laws. In such cases, Red Hat will ensure that Client Personal Data is only Processed as necessary to comply with applicable laws;

(g) Upon Client’s written request, Red Hat shall provide Client with a confidential summary report to verify the adequacy of its security measures and other information necessary to demonstrate Red Hat’s compliance with this Addendum. Only to the extent required by Data Protection Laws (and no more than once per year unless otherwise required by Data Protection Laws) allow for, and contribute to, audits, including inspections of Red Hat facilities Processing Client Personal Data, with reasonable advance written notice from Client and at a time mutually agreed upon by the parties, Such audits or inspections shall occur during normal business hours in a manner that causes minimal disruption to Red Hat’s business, and shall be conducted by Client or another auditor mandated by Client and agreed to by Red Hat, and at Client’s sole expense. Client agrees to treat such summary report and other information described in this subsection as Red Hat’s Confidential Information under the terms of the Agreement; 

(h) Red Hat shall promptly inform Client if, in Red Hat’s opinion, an instruction by Client infringes Data Protection Laws; and

If Client is acting as a Processor, Client has obtained the authorisations required from the relevant Controller(s) and Client shall serve as the single point of contact for Red Hat. Client shall not use the Online Services in a manner that would violate applicable Data Protection Laws.

5. Transfers of Personal Data. In the case of a transfer of Client Personal Data to a country not providing an adequate level of protection pursuant to the applicable Data Protection Laws (“Non-Adequate Country”), the parties shall cooperate to ensure compliance with the applicable Data Protection Laws as set out in the following sections or in accordance with the applicable Data Protection Laws at https://www.redhat.com/en/about/agreements/dpl.

If the EU Standard Contractual Clauses are not required because both parties are located in a country considered adequate by the applicable Data Protection Laws, but during the Agreement the country where Client or Red Hat is located becomes a Non-Adequate Country, then the EU Standard Contractual Clauses will apply to Personal Data that is transferred to such Non-Adequate Country. 

(c) The parties acknowledge that the applicable module of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses will be determined by their role as Controller and/or Processor under the circumstances of each case and are responsible for determining the correct role undertaken in order to fulfil the appropriate obligations under the applicable module.

(f) In addition, Red Hat, Inc., and Red Hat Professional Consulting, Inc., are certified to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks and the commitments they entail, as detailed at http://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/. The Red Hat Data Privacy Framework Notice is available at https://www.redhat.com/en/about/dpf-notice.

6. Personal Data Breach. Red Hat will promptly investigate all allegations of unauthorized access to, or use or disclosure of the Personal Data. If Red Hat reasonably believes there has been a Personal Data breach, Red Hat will notify Client without undue delay, and provide sufficient information to allow Client to report the personal data breach or notify Data Subjects as required by applicable Data Protection Laws.

7. Records. Red Hat shall maintain all records required by applicable Data Protection Laws, and (to the extent they are applicable to Red Hat’s activities for Client) Red Hat shall make them available to Client upon its written request.

8. Third Party Requests. If any government or regulatory authority requests access to Personal Data concerning Your Content, unless prohibited by law, Red Hat will notify Client of such request to enable Client to take necessary actions to communicate directly with the relevant authority and respond to such request. If Red Hat is prohibited by law to notify Client of such request, it will use reasonable efforts to challenge the prohibition on notification and will provide the minimum amount of information permissible when responding, based on a reasonable interpretation of the request

9. Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence; No Conflict. Except as amended by this Addendum, the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Client agrees that this Addendum, including any claims arising from them, are subject to the terms set forth in the Agreement, including the limitations of liability. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, the Addendum and/or the remainder of the Agreement, then the following order of precedence will apply: the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (if applicable), the remainder of this Addendum and the remainder of the Agreement. Nothing in this Addendum is intended to modify or contradict the applicable terms in the Data Protection Laws or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or prejudice the fundamental rights or freedoms of Data Subjects under Data Protection Laws.
