Data Processing Addendum

Effective: October 22, 2026 · Shadow LTD, Tel Aviv, Israel

Introduction

This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) forms part of the Terms & Conditions between Shadow LTD (“Shadows”, “we”, “us”) and the customer agreeing to them (“Customer”, “you”), and governs our processing of personal data contained in Customer Data on your behalf. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given in the Terms & Conditions.

Where you and Shadows have signed an order form or master subscription agreement that includes its own data processing terms, that agreement prevails over this DPA to the extent of any conflict. This published version reflects our standard template; a countersigned copy for your organization is available on request at [email protected].

1. Definitions

2. Roles and scope

For Customer Personal Data, you act as controller (or as processor on behalf of a third-party controller) and we act as your processor. Each party will comply with its own obligations under Data Protection Law. You are responsible for establishing a lawful basis for the processing, for the accuracy and lawfulness of the Customer Personal Data you submit, and for providing any notices and obtaining any consents required from data subjects — including the buyers and prospects a Shadow engages with on your behalf.

The subject matter, duration, nature and purpose of the processing, the types of personal data and the categories of data subjects are set out in Annex 1.

We process personal data for which we are the controller (for example, account administration and website data) as described in our Privacy Policy. That processing is outside the scope of this DPA.

3. Customer instructions

We will process Customer Personal Data only on your documented instructions, including with regard to international transfers, unless required to do otherwise by applicable law — in which case we will inform you of that requirement before processing, unless the law prohibits such notice. The Terms, this DPA, and your configuration and use of the Service constitute your complete documented instructions. We will inform you if, in our opinion, an instruction infringes Data Protection Law.

We do not sell Customer Personal Data, and we do not use Customer Personal Data to train artificial-intelligence models made available to other customers. Where the Service submits Customer Personal Data to an AI sub-processor to generate Output, it does so solely to provide the Service to you, under terms that prohibit that sub-processor from training its models on that data.

4. Confidentiality

We ensure that persons authorized to process Customer Personal Data are bound by an appropriate obligation of confidentiality and are granted access only on a least-privilege, need-to-know basis.

5. Security

We implement and maintain the technical and organizational measures set out in Annex 2, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing, as well as the risk to data subjects. We may update those measures over time provided the overall level of security is not reduced.

6. Sub-processors

You give us general authorization to engage Sub-processors. The Sub-processors currently approved under this DPA are listed in Annex 3. Each Sub-processor is engaged under a written contract imposing data protection obligations no less protective than those in this DPA, and we remain fully liable to you for each Sub-processor's performance.

We will give you at least 30 days' notice before adding or replacing a Sub-processor that processes Customer Personal Data. You may object on reasonable data protection grounds within that period by writing to [email protected]; if we cannot make a reasonable accommodation, you may terminate the affected part of the Service without penalty for the remainder of the then-current term.

7. Data subject rights

Taking into account the nature of the processing, we will assist you by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as possible, in fulfilling your obligation to respond to requests to exercise data subject rights under Data Protection Law. Where a data subject contacts us directly in relation to Customer Personal Data, we will refer them to you and will not respond substantively except on your instruction or as required by law. The Service provides self-service functionality to access, correct, export and delete Customer Personal Data.

8. Personal data breach

We will notify you without undue delay, and in any event within 48 hours, after becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting Customer Personal Data. The notification will describe, to the extent known, the nature of the breach, the categories and approximate number of data subjects and records concerned, the likely consequences, and the measures taken or proposed. We will assist you in meeting your own notification obligations to supervisory authorities and data subjects.

9. Deletion and return

On termination or expiry of the Terms, we will, at your election, delete or return Customer Personal Data, and delete existing copies, unless applicable law requires continued storage. Residual copies held in routine backup archives are isolated from further processing and deleted on the ordinary backup rotation described in Annex 2.

10. Audits and information

We will make available to you the information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with Article 28 of the GDPR, including our most recent third-party audit reports and security documentation, which may be provided under an obligation of confidentiality in satisfaction of an audit request. Where that information is insufficient, you may request an audit no more than once in any 12-month period, on at least 30 days' written notice, during business hours, subject to confidentiality obligations, and without unreasonably disrupting our operations. Audits following a confirmed personal data breach are not subject to that frequency limit.

11. International transfers

Customer Personal Data is hosted in the United States (Google Cloud region us-central1) and may be processed by Sub-processors in the locations listed in Annex 3. Where we transfer Customer Personal Data from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland to a country without an adequacy decision, the SCCs (Module Two, controller-to-processor, or Module Three, processor-to-processor, as applicable) are incorporated into this DPA by reference and apply to that transfer, together with the UK International Data Transfer Addendum where the UK GDPR applies. For the purposes of the SCCs: Annex I is populated by Annex 1 and Annex 3 of this DPA, Annex II by Annex 2, the optional docking clause applies, and the governing law and forum for Clauses 17 and 18 are those of Ireland.

Shadows carries out and documents transfer impact assessments for Sub-processors handling Customer Personal Data, and will inform you if we become unable to comply with the SCCs.

12. Order of precedence and liability

In the event of a conflict, the SCCs prevail over this DPA, and this DPA prevails over the remainder of the Terms, in each case to the extent of the conflict and in respect of the subject matter of the conflicting provision. Each party's liability under this DPA is subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability in the Terms.

13. Governing law

Except where Data Protection Law or the SCCs require otherwise, this DPA is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The competent courts of Tel Aviv-Jaffa will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to this DPA.
