We saw a need, so we filled the need. Real estate technology was woefully behind the times, requiring agents to lose productivity and juggle multiple disconnected systems. We stepped in to fill the void and built the ultimate fully-integrated platform from the ground up. How did we know what to build? We worked closely with the best real estate professionals to understand exactly what agents need for generating and tracking leads, targeting automated communications, nurturing buyers and sellers through the funnel…and then we delivered. And we keep delivering. Every month Chime engineers provide new features and integrations that are in high demand, for an ever-evolving next-gen mobile-first real estate operating system that’s easy to use and second to none.

Processing of Personal Data
2.1 Roles of the Parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the Processing of Personal Data solely on behalf of Customer, (i) Customer is the Controller of Personal Data, (ii) Chime is the Processor of such Personal Data. The terms “Controller” and “Processor” below hereby signify Customer and Chime, respectively.
2.2 Customer’s Processing of Personal Data. Customer, in its use of the Services, and Customer’s instructions to the Processor, shall comply with Data Protection Laws. Customer shall establish and have any and all required legal bases in order to collect, Process and transfer to Processor the Personal Data, and to authorize the Processing by Processor, and for Processor’s Processing activities on Customer’s behalf, including the pursuit of ‘business purposes’ as defined under the CCPA.
2.3 Processor’s Processing of Personal Data. When Processing on Customer’s behalf under the Agreement, Processor shall Process Personal Data for the following purposes: (i) Processing in accordance with the Agreement and this DPA; (ii) Processing for Customer as part of its provision of the Services; (iii) Processing to comply with Customer’s reasonable and documented instructions, where such instructions are consistent with the terms of the Agreement, regarding the manner in which the Processing shall be performed; (iv) rendering Personal Data fully anonymous, non-identifiable and non-personal in accordance with applicable standards recognized by Data Protection Laws and guidance issued thereunder; (v) Processing as required under the laws applicable to Processor, and/or as required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent governmental or semi-governmental authority, provided that Processor shall inform Customer of the legal requirement before Processing, unless such law or order prohibit such information on important grounds of public interest.
Processor shall inform Customer without undue delay if, in Processor’s opinion, an instruction for the Processing of Personal Data given by Customer infringes applicable Data Protection Laws. To the extent that Processor cannot comply with an instruction from Customer, Processor (a) shall inform Customer, providing relevant details of the issue, (b) Processor may, without liability to Customer, temporarily cease all Processing of the affected Personal Data (other than securely storing such data) and/or suspend Customer’s access to the Services, and (c) if the Parties do not agree on a resolution to the issue in question and the costs thereof, Customer may, as its sole remedy, terminate the Agreement and this DPA with respect to the affected Services, and Customer shall pay to Processor all the amounts owed to Processor or outstanding prior to the date of termination. Customer will have no further claims against Processor (including, without limitation, requesting refunds for Services) pursuant to the termination of the Agreement and the DPA as described in this paragraph.
2.4 Details of the Processing. The subject-matter of Processing of Personal Data by Processor is the performance of the Services pursuant to the Agreement. The duration of the Processing, the nature and purpose of the Processing, the types of Personal Data and categories of Data Subjects Processed under this DPA are further specified in Schedule 1 （appendix)(Details of Processing) to this DPA.
2.5 Sensitive Data. The Parties agree that the Services are not intended for the Processing of Sensitive Data, and that if Customer wishes to use the Services to Process Sensitive Data, it must first obtain the Processor’s explicit prior written consent and enter into any additional agreements as may be required by Chime.
2.6 CCPA Standard of Care; No Sale of Personal Information. Processor acknowledges and confirms that it does not receive or process any Personal Information as consideration for any services or other items that Processor provides to Customer under the Agreement. Processor shall not have, derive, or exercise any rights or benefits regarding Personal Information Processed on Customer’s behalf, and may use and disclose Personal Information solely for the purposes for which such Personal Information was provided to it, as stipulated in the Agreement and this DPA. Processor certifies that it understands the rules, requirements and definitions of the CCPA and agrees to refrain from selling (as such term is defined in the CCPA) any Personal Information Processed hereunder without Customer’s prior written consent, nor take any action that would cause any transfer of Personal Information to or from Processor under the Agreement or this DPA to qualify as “selling” such Personal Information under the CCPA.
-
Data Subject Requests
Processor shall, to the extent legally permitted, notify Customer or refer Data Subject or Consumer to Customer, if Processor receives a request from a Data Subject or Consumer to exercise their rights (to the extent available to them under applicable Data Protection Laws) of access, right to rectification, restriction of Processing, erasure, data portability, objection to the Processing, their right not to be subject to automated individual decision making, to opt-out of the sale of Personal Information, or the right not to be discriminated against (“ Data Subject Request”). Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Processor shall assist Customer by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible and reasonable, for the fulfilment of Customer’s obligation to respond to a Data Subject Request under Data Protection Laws. Processor may advise Data Subjects on available features for self-exercising their Data Subject Requests through the Platform (where appropriate), and/or refer Data Subject Requests received, and the Data Subjects making them, directly to the Customer for its treatment of such requests.

Sub-Processors
4.1 Appointment of Sub-processors.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that (a) Processor’s Affiliates may be engaged as Sub-processors; and (b) Processor and Processor’s Affiliates on behalf of Processor may each engage third-party Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Services.
4.2 List of Current Sub-processors and Notification of New Sub-processors.
4.2.1Processor makes available to Customer the current list of Sub-Processors used by Processor to process Personal Data
via www.monday.com/terms/subprocessors . Such Sub-processor list includes the identities of those Sub-processors and the entity’s country (“
Sub-Processor List”). The Sub-Processor List as of the date of first use of the Services by Customer is hereby deemed authorized upon first use of the Services.
Customer may reasonably object to Processor’s use of an existing Sub-processor for reasons relating to the protection of Personal Data intended to be Processed by such Sub-processor, by providing a written objection to legal@monday.com within three (3) business days following the first use of the Services. In the event Customer reasonably objects to an existing Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentence, Customer may, as a sole remedy, terminate the applicable Agreement and this DPA with respect only to those elements of the Services which cannot be provided by Processor without the use of the objected-to Sub-processor, by providing written notice to Processor; provided that all amounts outstanding under the Agreement before the termination date with respect to the Processing at issue shall be duly paid to Processor. Customer will have no further claims against Processor due to (i) past use of approved Sub-processors prior to the date of objection or (ii) the termination of the Agreement (including, without limitation, requesting refunds) and the DPA in the situation described in this paragraph.
4.2.2 Processor’s webpage accessible via
www.monday.com/terms/subprocessors offers a mechanism to subscribe to notifications of new Sub-processors used to Process Personal Data, to which Customer shall subscribe, and when Customer subscribes, Processor shall provide notification of any new Sub-processor(s) before authorizing such new Sub-processor(s) to Process Personal Data in connection with the provision of the Services.
4.3 Objection Right for new Sub-processors
Customer may reasonably object to Processor’s use of a new Sub-processor, for reasons relating to the protection of Personal Data intended to be Processed by such Sub-processor, by notifying Processor promptly in writing within seven (7) days after receipt of a Processor notification in accordance with the mechanism set out in Section 4.2.2. Such written objection shall include the reasons for objecting to Processor’s use of such new Sub-processor. Failure to object to such new Sub-processor in writing within seven (7) days following Processor’s notice shall be deemed as acceptance of the new Sub-Processor. In the event Customer reasonably objects to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentences, Processor will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening the Customer. If Processor is unable to make available such change within sixty (60) days, Customer may, as a sole remedy, terminate the Agreement and this DPA with respect only to those elements of the Services which cannot be provided by Processor without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor, by providing written notice to Processor. All amounts outstanding under the Agreement before the termination date with respect to the Processing at issue shall be duly paid to Processor. Until a decision is made regarding the new Sub-processor, Processor may temporarily suspend the Processing of the affected Personal Data and/or suspend access to the Services. Customer will have no further claims against Processor due to the termination of the Agreement (including, without limitation, requesting refunds) and/or the DPA in the situation described in this paragraph.

Data Transfer-cross border

Processor maintains security incident management policies and procedures and, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, shall notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data Processed by Processor on behalf of the Customer (a “ Data Incident”). Processor shall make reasonable efforts to identify and take those steps as Processor deems necessary and reasonable in order to remediate and/or mitigate the cause of such Data Incident to the extent the remediation and/or mitigation is within Processor’s reasonable control. The obligations herein shall not apply to incidents that are caused by Customer, its Users or anyone who uses the Services on Customer’s behalf. Customer will not make, disclose, release or publish any finding, admission of liability, communication, notice, press release or report concerning any Data Incident which directly or indirectly identifies Processor (including in any legal proceeding or in any notification to regulatory or supervisory authorities or affected individuals) without Processor’s prior written approval, unless, and solely to the extent that, Customer is compelled to do so pursuant to applicable Data Protection Laws.

Upon Processor’s first request, Customer shall return all records or documentation in Customer’s possession or control provided by Processor in the context of the audit and/or the inspection). If and to the extent that the Standard Contractual Clauses apply, nothing in this Section 6.2 varies or modifies the Standard Contractual Clauses nor affects any Supervisory Authority’s or Data Subject’s rights under the Standard Contractual Clauses.
