Data Processing Addendum

Version 1.0 — Effective Date: pending

This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) is entered into between Phareon LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“Processor” or “CollegeRoster”), and the entity identified as the customer or subscriber in the Master Subscription Agreement or Order Form (“Controller”) (each a “Party,” together the “Parties”).

This DPA supplements and is incorporated into the Master Subscription Agreement or applicable Order Form between the Parties (the “Agreement”). In the event of any conflict between this DPA and the Agreement with respect to the subject matter of data processing, this DPA controls.

1. Definitions

“Applicable Data Protection Law” means all data protection and privacy laws applicable to the processing of Personal Data under this DPA, including the GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and any other applicable federal, state, or national data protection laws.

“Controller” means the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing of Personal Data — here, the Customer organization (school, club, or other institution) described in the Agreement.

“Data Subject” means any identified or identifiable natural person to whom Personal Data relates, including athletes, parents, coaches, and staff members.

“Personal Data,” “Processing,” “Processor,” “Security Incident,” “Sub-processor,” “DSAR,” “DPIA,” “SCCs,” and “UK IDTA” have the meanings given in the full DPA document available at collegeroster.org/legal/dpa and in the legal/03-dpa-template.md source document.

2.2 Processor will Process Personal Data solely to provide the Service to Controller as described in the Agreement and as documented in Annex 1.

2.5 This DPA remains in force until the Agreement terminates or expires.

3. Controller Instructions and Processor Obligations

Processor will Process Personal Data only on documented instructions from Controller. Processor will not Process Personal Data for its own independent commercial purposes, will not sell Personal Data, and will not share Personal Data with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.
