California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Addendum

Last updated: 4/1/2023

This Data Processing Addendum reflects the requirements of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) of 2018 and its implementing regulations, as superseded or amended over time (California Civil Code §§ 1798.100 to 1798.199). This Addendum makes clear that Knackly is acting as a Service Provider for CCPA purposes.

This acts as an addendum to the Customer Terms of Service (“Agreement”) and its incorporated Customer Data Processing Agreement (the “DPA”) between Knackly (“KNACKLY”) and the Customer (collectively the “Parties”; each a “Party”) and is in effect for so long as KNACKLY maintains Personal Information provided by or collected on behalf of Customer by KNACKLY (hereinafter, the “Personal Information”). The Addendum shall only apply and bind the Parties where and to the extent the Customer is a Business under the CCPA. Additionally, this Addendum prevails over any conflicting terms of the DPA or Agreement, however, does not otherwise modify the Agreement or DPA. All capitalized terms that aren’t defined in this Addendum shall have meanings as set forth in the CCPA. Customer enters this Addendum on behalf of itself, to the extent required under the CCPA, and in the name of and on behalf of its authorized affiliates (defined below).

The parties agree as follows:

    • 3. Third parties: A person to whom the business discloses a consumer’s personal information for a business purpose following a written contract, providing the written contract includes certain conditions.
    • 4. Service providers: “For profit” entities that process information on behalf of an organization and to which that organization discloses a consumer’s personal information for a business purpose, following a written contract.
    • 5. CCPA: The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder. The terms “business”, “business purpose”, “personal information”, “aggregate consumer information”, “de-identified information”, “processing”, and “sell”, shall have the same meaning as defined under the CCPA.
  2. Scope and Applicability of this Addendum
    • 1. This Addendum applies to the collection, use, disclosure and retention of Personal Information to provide Services to Customer following the Agreement or for a Business Purpose.
    • 2. Customer is a Business and appoints KNACKLY as a Service Provider to process Personal Information on behalf of Customer. Customer is responsible for demonstrating compliance with applicable CCPA requirements.
    • 3. KNACKLY’s collection, use, disclosure, or retention of Personal Information for its own purposes outside of providing the services mentioned in the Agreement are outside the scope of this Addendum.
  3. Restrictions on Processing

    • 2. KNACKLY shall not further collect, sell, or use the Personal Information except as necessary to perform the Business Purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, KNACKLY shall not use Personal Information for the purposes of providing services to another entity or person, except that KNACKLY may combine Personal Information received from one or more entities to which similar services have been provided to, for detecting data security incidents or protecting against illegal or fraudulent activity.
    • 3. KNACKLY will work in good faith to assist the customer with any reasonable written request(s) from Customer to comply with its obligation under the CCPA to respond to verifiable consumer requests for access or deletion of personal information that KNACKLY may be processing on the Customer’s behalf.
  4. Notice

    • 2. Upon direction by Customer and within a reasonable amount of time, KNACKLY shall delete the Personal Information.
      • 2.1. KNACKLY shall not be required to delete any of the Personal Information to demonstrate compliance with a Consumer’s request directed by the Customer if it is necessary to maintain that information in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code 1798.105(d), in which case KNACKLY shall promptly inform Customer of the exceptions relied upon under 1798.105(d) and KNACKLY shall not use Personal Information retained for any purpose other than provided for by that exception.

  4. Will make no attempt to re-identify the information.
  1. Mergers, Sale, or Other Asset Transfer
    • 1. Where either Party transfers to a Third-Party any Personal Information of a Consumer as an asset that is part of a merger or acquisition, bankruptcy, or another transaction in which the third-party assumes control of all or a part of such party to the agreement, the information transferred shall be used or shared in line with applicable law. If a Third Party materially changes how it uses or shares the Personal Information of a Consumer in a way that is materially inconsistent with the promises that were made at the time of collection, it shall provide notice of the changed/new practice to the Consumer in accordance with applicable law.
  2. As Required by Law

    • 1. The Parties are in acknowledgement and agreement that the exchange of Personal Information between them does not form part of any monetary or valuable consideration exchanged between them with respect to the DPA, the Agreement, or this Addendum.
