Data Protection Addendum
Last updated: August 22, 2025
This Addendum is between Tailshift Inc. ("Tailshift") and the Customer (as defined in the applicable agreement) and forms part of the Tailshift Terms of Service available at [ https://www.tailshift.ai/terms-of-use/] or any other written or electronic agreement between Tailshift and Customer that expressly incorporates this Addendum (the "Agreement").
Customer enters into this Addendum on behalf of itself and any Affiliates authorized to use the Services under the Agreement and that have not entered into a separate data protection addendum with Tailshift. For purposes of this Addendum only, references to "Customer" include such Affiliates.
The Parties agree that the terms below are added as an addendum to the Agreement and will apply to Tailshift’s Processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement to the extent such Processing is subject to Data Protection Laws.
1. Definitions
Capitalized terms not defined below have the meanings in the Agreement. In this Addendum:
- "Affiliate" means an entity that owns or controls, is owned or controlled by, or is under common control or ownership with a Party, where control means direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 50% of the voting interests of an entity or otherwise having the power to direct its management and policies.
- "Customer Personal Data" means any Personal Data provided by or made available by Customer to Tailshift, or collected by Tailshift on behalf of Customer, that Tailshift Processes to provide the Services.
- "Controller to Processor SCCs" means: (i) the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission on 4 June 2021 for transfers of Personal Data to third countries (including as amended or replaced from time to time), together with any Swiss FDPIC and/or UK ICO modifications; and (ii) the UK International Data Transfer Addendum ("UK Addendum").
- "Data Protection Laws" means all laws and regulations relating to data protection, privacy, security and breach notification to the extent applicable to the Processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement, which may include, as applicable: the EU GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss DPA, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (collectively, "CCPA"), state privacy laws in the United States, HIPAA and its implementing regulations, and any similar or successor laws.

- "EU Area Law" means the EU GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss DPA and any national laws implementing or supplementing them.
- "HIPAA" means the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations (including the Privacy, Security, Breach Notification and Enforcement Rules at 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164).
- "PHI" means protected health information as defined under HIPAA.
- "Security Incident" means any confirmed breach of security leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Customer Personal Data Processed by Tailshift. Security Incidents do not include unsuccessful attempts or activities that do not compromise Customer Personal Data (e.g., unsuccessful log-ins, pings, scans, denial of service without data access).
- "Services" means the services provided by Tailshift to Customer under the Agreement.
- "Subprocessor" means any third party engaged by Tailshift to Process Customer Personal Data on Tailshift’s behalf to provide the Services.
- The terms Business, Business Purpose, commercial purpose, Contractor, Controller, Data Subject, Personal Data, Personal Data Breach, Process/Processing, Processor, Sell, Service Provider, Share, Supervisory Authority and Third Party shall have the meanings given in applicable Data Protection Laws.
2. Scope; Relationship of the Parties
2.1 Scope. This Addendum applies to Tailshift’s Processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement to the extent that such Processing is subject to Data Protection Laws. Unless required otherwise by Data Protection Laws, this Addendum is governed by the governing law specified in the Agreement.
2.2 Roles. As further described in Annex 1, Customer is a Controller (or Business under CCPA) and Tailshift acts as a Processor (or Service Provider/Contractor under CCPA) with respect to Customer Personal Data. Where Tailshift acts as a Subprocessor, Tailshift will comply with the obligations applicable to Subprocessors herein.
2.3 HIPAA Role (if applicable). If and only to the extent Tailshift receives, creates, maintains or transmits PHI on behalf of Customer (acting as a Covered Entity or Business Associate), Tailshift shall act as Customer’s Business Associate and the parties will execute a separate Business Associate Agreement (BAA), which is incorporated by reference or attached as Annex 3 (if executed). In case of conflict between the BAA and this Addendum with respect to PHI, the BAA controls.
3. Description and Purposes of Processing
The subject matter, nature, categories of data subjects and Personal Data, Processing purposes, and retention are set out in Annex 1. The Parties may reasonably update Annex 1 from time to time by written agreement. The purpose of Processing under this Addendum is Tailshift’s provision of the Services and performance of the Agreement and any order forms.
4. Customer Obligations and Instructions
4.1 Compliance. Customer will comply with Data Protection Laws in its use of the Services and in providing instructions to Tailshift. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality and legality of Customer Personal Data and the means by which Customer acquired it, including providing all required notices and obtaining all necessary consents.
4.2 Instructions. Tailshift will Process Customer Personal Data only on Customer’s documented instructions, including as set forth in the Agreement, this Addendum, Customer’s configuration and use of the Services, and as otherwise documented in writing by Customer. Tailshift will notify Customer if Tailshift determines it can no longer meet its obligations under Data Protection Laws or if, in Tailshift’s opinion, an instruction infringes Data Protection Laws (in which case Tailshift may refrain from Processing until the instruction is confirmed or modified).
4.3 Special Categories & PHI. Customer will not provide Special Categories of Personal Data (as defined by GDPR) or PHI unless expressly permitted by the Agreement or Annex 1 and (for PHI) a BAA is in effect. If such data is permitted, Customer represents that it has a lawful basis and will configure the Services accordingly.
5. Tailshift Obligations
5.1 Use Restrictions (including CCPA). Tailshift will not Sell or Share Customer Personal Data and will not retain, use or disclose Customer Personal Data for any purpose other than for the specific Business Purpose of performing the Services or as otherwise permitted by Data Protection Laws. Tailshift certifies that it understands and will comply with the restrictions in this Section 5.1. Tailshift will not combine Customer Personal Data with Personal Data obtained from other sources except as permitted by CCPA (e.g., to detect security incidents, protect against fraud, or to improve the quality of the Services without using such data to perform services for another person), or as otherwise authorized by Customer.
5.2 Confidentiality. Tailshift will ensure that persons authorized to Process Customer Personal Data are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations or statutory duties of confidentiality.
5.3 Security. Taking into account the state of the art, costs, nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing, and the risk to Data Subjects, Tailshift will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures ("TOMs") designed to protect Customer Personal Data as required by Article 32 GDPR and other applicable laws. Tailshift maintains an information security program aligned with SOC 2 Type 2 controls and a HIPAA Security Rule–aligned program. A description of TOMs appears in Annex 1, Section 4.
5.4 Audit & Reports. Upon written request no more than once annually (unless otherwise required by a Supervisory Authority or following a Security Incident impacting Customer Personal Data), Tailshift will make available information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this Addendum, which may include responses to security questionnaires and summaries of independent assessments (e.g., a current SOC 2 Type 2 report under NDA). If such materials are insufficient to establish compliance, Customer may conduct an on-site or remote audit during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice and in a manner that avoids undue disruption. Customer will bear its audit costs and reasonable Tailshift time and out-of-pocket costs.
5.5 Subprocessors. Customer authorizes Tailshift to engage Subprocessors to Process Customer Personal Data, including those listed in Annex 2. Tailshift will: (a) enter into a written contract with each Subprocessor imposing data protection obligations materially no less protective than those in this Addendum; (b) remain responsible for Subprocessors’ performance; and (c) provide Customer with at least 30 days’ advance notice of any new or replacement Subprocessors (via email or a publicly posted list). Customer may object on reasonable data protection grounds within 30 days; the Parties will work in good faith to find a reasonable solution. If none is found within 30 days, either Party may terminate the affected Services without penalty.
5.6 Government & Third-Party Requests. To the extent legally permitted, Tailshift will promptly notify Customer of any legally binding request for disclosure of Customer Personal Data by a law enforcement authority, court or other public body. Where legally permissible, Tailshift will challenge unlawful or overbroad requests and disclose only the minimum data required, keeping records of disclosures.
5.7 Data Subject Requests. Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Tailshift will provide reasonable assistance to Customer by appropriate technical and organizational measures to enable Customer to respond to requests to exercise Data Subject rights under Data Protection Laws. Tailshift will not respond directly to such requests unless required by law or authorized in writing by Customer. Customer will reimburse Tailshift’s reasonable costs for assistance that is not included in the Services.
5.8 Security Incidents. Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident affecting Customer Personal Data, Tailshift will notify Customer without undue delay and provide information reasonably available to Tailshift to assist Customer in meeting its breach notification obligations. Tailshift will take reasonable steps to investigate, mitigate and remediate the Security Incident and keep Customer reasonably informed. Notification is not an acknowledgment of fault.
