3. Roles as Data Controller and Data Processor 

For purposes of this DPA, You are the Data Controller of the Personal Data Processed by LighthouseAI in its performance of the Services under the terms of the Agreement.

Unless specified in the Agreement, You will not provide Us with access to any Personal Data that imposes specific data protection requirements greater than those agreed to in the Agreement and this DPA, and you will limit Our access to Personal Data as necessary to perform the Services.

We have implemented commercially reasonable measures designed to confirm compliance with such measures. You may request us to audit a Sub-Processor or obtain an existing third-party audit report related to the Sub-Processor’s operations to verify compliance with these requirements. You may also request copies of the data protection terms. We have in place with any Sub-Processor or Affiliate involved in providing the Services.

Where LighthouseAI is a Processor (and not a Sub-Processor), the following terms apply: 

  • If based on reasonable grounds related to the inability of such Sub-Processor or Affiliate to protect Personal Data, You do not approve of a new Sub-Processor or Affiliate, then You may terminate any subscription for the affected Service by providing, before the end of the notice period, written notice of termination that includes an explanation of the grounds for non-approval. 
  • If the affected Service is part of a suite (or a similar single purchase of Services), any such termination will apply to the entire suite. 
  • After such termination, You shall remain obligated to make all payments required under any purchase order or other contractual obligation of LighthouseAI. You shall not be entitled to any refund or return of payment from LighthouseAI. 

7. Requests from Data Subjects 

We will make available to You the Personal Data of Your Data Subjects and the ability to fulfil requests by Data Subjects to exercise one or more of their rights under Applicable Data Protection Laws in a manner consistent with our role as a Data Processor. We will provide reasonable assistance to assist with Your response. 

Suppose We receive a request directly from Your Data Subject to exercise one or more of their rights under Applicable Data Protection Laws. In that case, We will direct the Data Subject to You unless prohibited by law. 

8. Security 

We shall implement and maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and organizational practices designed to protect Personal Data against any misuse or accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data. Such security practices are outlined in the LighthouseAI Services Security Exhibit, available at https://www.pharma.solutions/services-security-exhibit.html. We seek to continually strengthen and improve its security practices and reserve the right to modify the controls described herein. Any modifications will not diminish the level of security during the relevant term of Services. Appropriate confidentiality agreements bind our employees, who must take regular data protection trainings and comply with our corporate privacy and security policies and procedures.

We shall notify You without undue delay after becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach involving Personal Data in our possession, custody or control.

10. Your Instructions and Providing Information & Assistance 

You may provide additional instructions to Us related to the Processing of Personal Data necessary for You and LighthouseAI to comply with our respective obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws as a Data Controller and Data Processor. We will comply with Your instructions at no additional charge, provided that if Your instructions impose costs on Us beyond those included in the scope of Services under the Agreement, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to determine the additional costs. We will promptly inform You if We believe that Your instructions are inconsistent with Applicable Data Protection Laws, provided that We will not be obligated to inspect or verify Your Processing of Personal Data independently. 

We will provide You with information reasonably necessary to assist You in enabling Your compliance with Your obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws, including, without limitation, Our obligations under the EU General Data Protection Regulation to implement appropriate data security measures, carry out a data protection impact assessment and consult the competent Supervisory Authority (taking into account the nature of Processing and the information available to Us), and as further specified in this DPA. 

11. Return and Deletion of Personal Data 

We will return or provide an opportunity for You to retrieve all Personal Data after the end of the provision of Services and delete existing copies. With respect to cloud services, You shall have thirty (30) calendar days to download Your Data after the termination of the Agreement, and You must contact technical support for download access and instructions. In the event You do not get technical support for this purpose within 30 calendar days after the end of the provision of Services, We shall delete Your Data promptly once that Personal Data is no longer accessible by You, except for (i) back-ups deleted in the ordinary course, and (ii) retention as required by applicable law or normal IT operations. In the event of either (i) or (ii), We will continue to comply with the relevant provisions of this DPA until such data has been deleted. We will provide written confirmation of deletion upon request. 

12. Audit 

Suppose the information you request of LighthouseAI under Section 11 above does not satisfy your obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws. In that case, You may audit our Processing of Your Data once per year or as otherwise required by Applicable Data Protection Laws. To request an audit, you must provide Us with a proposed detailed audit plan three weeks in advance, and We will work with you in good faith to agree on a final written project. Any such audit shall be conducted at Your own expense, during regular business hours, without disruption to our business, and in accordance with our security rules and requirements. Before any audit, We undertake to provide You reasonably requested information and associated evidence to satisfy Your audit obligations, and You undertake to review this information before undertaking any independent audit. Suppose any of the requested scope of the audit is covered by an audit report issued to Us by a qualified third-party auditor within the prior twelve months. In that case, the parties agree that the scope of Your audit will be reduced accordingly. 

You may use a third-party auditor with our Agreement, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Before any third-party audit, such an auditor must execute an appropriate confidentiality agreement with us. Suppose the third party is Your Supervisory Authority that applicable law enables it to audit Us directly. In that case, we will cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the Supervisory Authority in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws. 

You will provide us with a copy of any final report unless prohibited by Applicable Data Protection Laws, will treat the findings as Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of the Agreement (or confidentiality agreement entered into between You and LighthouseAI), and use it solely for the purpose of assessing our compliance with the terms of the Agreement, this DPA, and Applicable Data Protection Laws 

13. Term 

This DPA becomes effective upon Your purchase of the Services. Termination of the Agreement does not relieve either party of its obligations under this DPA. LighthouseAI reserves the right to revise this DPA to meet changing regulatory and compliance needs subject to the commitments of Section 8.  When it does so, LighthouseAI will update the “Last revised” date” at the top.
