2. Relationship of the Parties

2.1 Asana as a Processor and Service Provider. The Parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to Customer Personal Data, Customer is a controller and business and Asana is a processor and service provider, as defined by Applicable Law.

2.2 Asana as a Subprocessor. In circumstances in which Customer may be a processor, Customer appoints Asana as Customer’s subprocessor, which will not change the obligations of either Customer or Asana under this DPA.

3. Customer’s Instructions to Asana

3.1 Purpose Limitation. Asana will process Customer Personal Data (a) in order to provide the Service in accordance with the Agreement; (b) with Customer’s lawful instructions as set forth under Section 3.3; (c) as necessary to comply with Applicable Law; and (d) as otherwise agreed in writing. Customer, as the controller, acknowledges that the Service as provided is not intended for the storage or use of Restricted Data. At its sole discretion, Customer determines all categories and types of Customer Personal Data it may submit and transfer to Asana through the Service. Customer is responsible for secure and appropriate use of the Service to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk in respect of the Customer Personal Data and agrees that compliance and security measures as set forth in the Agreement and this DPA are deemed sufficient safeguards for processing of any such Restricted Data that Customer provides to the Service.

3.2 No Sale of Personal Information/Sharing for Targeted Advertising. Asana will not sell (as defined by Applicable Law) Customer Personal Data, share Customer Personal Data for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising or otherwise process Customer Personal Data for any purpose other than as set forth in the Agreement, unless obligated to do so under Applicable Law. In such case, Asana will inform Customer of that legal requirement before such processing unless legally prohibited from doing so. Asana will not retain, use, or disclose Customer’s Personal Data for any commercial purposes (as defined by Applicable Law) other than to provide the Service. Asana understands its obligations as set forth in this section and will comply with them. Further details regarding Asana’s processing operations are set forth in Exhibit A.

3.3 Lawful Instructions. Customer appoints Asana as a processor (or subprocessor) to process Customer Personal Data on behalf of, and in accordance with, Customer’s instructions. Customer will not instruct Asana to process Customer Personal Data in violation of Applicable Law. Asana will promptly inform Customer if, in Asana’s opinion, an instruction from Customer infringes Applicable Law. The Agreement, including this DPA, along with Customer’s configuration of the Service (as Customer may be able to modify from time to time), constitutes Customer’s complete and final instructions to Asana regarding the processing of Customer Personal Data, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

4. Subprocessing

4.1 Subprocessors. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Asana’s Affiliates and certain third parties may be retained as subprocessors (“Subprocessors”) to process Customer Personal Data on Asana’s behalf in order to provide the Service. Asana’s Subprocessors are listed on Asana’s Subprocessors page. Asana will impose contractual obligations on any Subprocessor Asana appoints requiring it to protect Customer Personal Data to standards which are no less protective than those set forth under this DPA. Asana remains liable for its Subprocessors’ performance under this DPA to the same extent Asana is liable for its own performance. If Customer subscribes to receive updates available on Asana’s Subprocessors page, Customer will be automatically notified of new Subprocessors ten (10) business days before Asana authorizes such Subprocessor to process Customer Personal Data (or in the case of an emergency, as soon as reasonably practicable). The subprocessor agreements to be provided under Clause 9 of the Standard Contractual Clauses may have all commercial information, or provisions unrelated to the Standard Contractual Clauses, redacted prior to sharing with Customer, and Customer agrees that such copies will be provided only upon Customer’s written request.

4.2 Right to Object. Customer may object to Asana’s use of a new Subprocessor (based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection) by notifying Asana promptly in writing at dpa@asana.com within thirty (30) days after receipt of Asana’s notice as described in Section 4.1. In the event Customer objects to a new Subprocessor, Asana will use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Service or Customer’s configuration or use of the Service to avoid processing of Customer Personal Data by the objected-to new Subprocessor. If Asana is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which will not exceed thirty (30) days, either Party may upon written notice terminate without penalty the applicable Order Form(s) or the Agreement.

5. Assistance and Cooperation

5.1 Security. Asana will use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Customer Personal Data that it processes. Such measures will take 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, so as to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. Asana will ensure that the persons Asana authorizes to process Customer Personal Data are subject to written confidentiality agreements or a statutory obligation of confidentiality no less protective than the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement.

5.2 Security Incident Notification and Response. To the extent required by Applicable Law and taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to Asana, Asana will assist Customer by notifying it of a Security Incident without undue delay or within the time period required under Applicable Law. To the extent available, this notification will include Asana’s then-current assessment of the following:

  • (a) the nature of the Security Incident, including, where possible, the categories and approximate number of data subjects concerned and the categories and approximate number of personal data records concerned;

  • (b) the likely consequences of the Security Incident; and

  • (c) measures taken or proposed to be taken by Asana to address the Security Incident, including, where applicable, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects.

Asana will provide timely and periodic updates to Customer as additional information regarding the Security Incident becomes available. Customer acknowledges that any updates may be based on incomplete information. Asana will not assess the contents of Customer Data for the purpose of determining if such Customer Data is subject to any requirements under Applicable Law. Nothing in this DPA or in the Standard Contractual Clauses will be construed to require Asana to violate, or delay compliance with, any legal obligation it may have with respect to a Security Incident or other security incidents generally.

6. Responding to Individuals Exercising Their Rights Under Applicable Law

To the extent legally permitted, Asana will refer the individual back to the Customer if Asana receives any requests from an individual seeking to exercise any rights afforded to them under Applicable Law regarding their personal data, which may include: access, rectification, restriction of processing, erasure (“right to be forgotten”), data portability, objection to the processing, or to not be subject to an automated individual decision making (each, a “Data Subject Request”). In the event Customer is unable to address a Data Subject Request in its use of the Service, Asana will, upon Customer’s request, provide commercially reasonable efforts to assist Customer in responding to such Data Subject Request, to the extent Asana is legally permitted to do so and the response to such Data Subject Request is required under Applicable Law. To the extent legally permitted, Customer will be responsible for any costs arising from Asana’s provision of additional functionality that Customer has requested to assist with a Data Subject Request.

7. DPIAs and Consultation with Supervisory Authorities or other Regulatory Authorities

Taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Asana, Asana will provide reasonable assistance to and cooperation with Customer for Customer’s performance of any legally required data protection impact assessment of the processing or proposed processing of Customer Personal Data involving Asana, and in consultation with supervisory authorities or other regulatory authorities as required, by providing Customer with any publicly available documentation for the Service or by complying with Section 10 (Audits) below. Additional support for data protection impact assessments or relations with regulators may be available and would require mutual agreement on fees, the scope of Asana’s involvement, and any other terms that the Parties deem appropriate.

8. Responding to Law Enforcement Requests

To the extent legally permitted, upon request for data or records from law enforcement or a governmental entity, Asana will respond to such requests in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Asana’s Law Enforcement Guidelines. Asana responds only to law enforcement requests that adhere to established legal process and applicable laws.

9. Data Transfers

9.1 Customer authorizes Asana and its Subprocessors to make international transfers of Customer Personal Data in accordance with this DPA and Applicable Law.

9.2 Customer acknowledges and agrees that, subject to compliance with Applicable Laws, Asana may process Customer Personal Data where Asana, its Affiliates or its subprocessors maintain data processing operations. The Parties agree that when the transfer of Customer Personal Data from Customer (as “data exporter”) to Asana (as “data importer”) requires that certain appropriate safeguards (“Transfer Mechanism(s)”) are put in place, the Parties will be subject to the following frameworks and Transfer Mechanisms which will be deemed incorporated into and form a part of this DPA, as follows:

  • (a) Order of precedence. In the event the Service is covered by more than one Transfer Mechanism, the transfer of personal data will be subject to a single Transfer Mechanism, as applicable, and in accordance with the following order of precedence: (a) the Data Privacy Frameworks; (b) the Standard Contractual Clauses as set forth in Section 9.2(c)-(e); and, if neither of the preceding is applicable, then (c) other alternative data Transfer Mechanisms permitted under Applicable Laws will apply.

  • (b) Data Privacy Frameworks. To the extent Asana processes Customer Personal Data originating from the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Asana represents that Asana is self-certified under the Data Privacy Frameworks and will adhere to the Data Privacy Principles.

  • (c) EU Standard Contractual Clauses. The EU SCCs will apply to Restricted Transfers of Customer Personal Data protected by the GDPR and will be completed as follows:

    • (i) The clauses as set forth in Module Two (controller to processor) will apply only to the extent Customer is a controller and Asana is a processor;

    • (ii) The clauses as set forth in Module Three (processor to processor) will only apply to the extent Customer is a processor and Asana is a subprocessor;

    • (iii) The “data exporter” is the Customer, and the exporter’s contact information is set forth below;

    • (ii)Any references to “EU”, “Union” and “Member State law” will be interpreted as references to Swiss law; and

    • (iii) Any references to the “competent supervisory authority” and “competent courts” will be interpreted as references to the relevant data protection authority and courts in Switzerland;

unless the EU SCCs as implemented above cannot be used to lawfully transfer such Customer Personal Data in compliance with the Swiss DPA, in which event the Swiss SCCs will instead be incorporated by reference and form an integral part of this DPA and will apply to such transfers. Where this is the case, the relevant Annexes or Appendices of the Swiss SCCs will be populated using the information contained in Exhibit A of this DPA (as applicable).

9.3 It is not the intention of either Party to contradict or restrict any of the provisions set forth in the Standard Contractual Clauses and, accordingly, if and to the extent the Standard Contractual Clauses conflict with any provision of the Agreement (including this DPA) the Standard Contractual Clauses will prevail to the extent of such conflict.
