Insider One shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures for protection of the security (including protection against Personal Data Breach), confidentiality and integrity of Customer Data, as set forth in the Security, Privacy and Architecture Datasheet attached hereto as Schedule 1.

Insider One shall, upon termination or expiry of the Agreement, or upon Customer’s written request following completion of the purpose of Processing, at Customer’s election, return Customer Data by enabling Customer to export its Customer Data as set forth in the Agreement and shall delete Customer Data (including copies held by its Sub-processors) within the period set out in the Security, Privacy and Architecture Datasheet, except to the extent that Insider One is required by applicable laws and regulations to retain such Personal Data, and shall confirm such deletion in writing upon request. Such deletion shall be carried out by secure means that prevent unauthorized recovery of the deleted Personal Data, and in accordance with this DPA, the Agreement, applicable laws and the Documentation.
8. Affiliates
8.1 Relationship between Insider One and Customer’s Authorized Affiliates
The parties acknowledge and agree that, by executing the Agreement, the Customer enters into this DPA on behalf of itself and, as applicable, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates, thereby establishing an independent DPA between Insider One and each such Authorized Affiliate, subject to the provisions of the Agreement and this Section 8 and Section 9. Each Authorized Affiliate agrees to be bound by the obligations under this DPA and, to the extent applicable, the Agreement. For sake of clarity, an Authorized Affiliate is not and does not become a party to the Agreement and is only a party to this DPA. All access to and use of the Services by Authorized Affiliates must comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and any violation of the terms and conditions of the Agreement by an Authorized Affiliate shall be deemed a violation by Customer.
8.2 Communication
The Customer that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall remain responsible for coordinating all communication with Insider One under this DPA and be entitled to make and receive any communication in relation to this DPA on behalf of its Affiliates and Authorized Affiliates.
8.3 Data Controller Rights of Affiliates and Authorized Affiliates
Any Affiliate or Authorized Affiliate shall, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, be entitled to exercise the rights and seek remedies under this DPA, subject to the following:
Except where applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations require the Affiliate or Authorized Affiliate to exercise a right or seek any remedy under this DPA against Insider One directly by itself, the parties agree that:
- solely the Customer that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall exercise any such right (including any Audit right) or seek any such remedy on behalf of such Affiliate or Authorized Affiliate;
- the Customer that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall exercise any such rights under this DPA not separately for each Affiliate or Authorized Affiliate individually but in a combined manner for all of its Affiliate and Authorized Affiliates together; and
- when carrying out an on-site Audit, take all reasonable measures to limit any impact on Insider One and its Sub-Processors by combining, to the extent reasonably possible, several Audit requests carried out on behalf of different Affiliate and Authorized Affiliates in one single Audit.
For the purpose of this Section 8.3, an Affiliate signing an Order Form with Insider One is not deemed “Customer”.
9. Limitation of Liability
9.1
Each party’s and all of its Affiliates’ liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or related to this DPA, and all DPAs between Authorized Affiliates and Insider One, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, is subject to the ‘Limitation of Liability’ section of the Agreement, and any reference in such section to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party and all of its Affiliates under the Agreement and all DPAs together.
9.2
Without prejudice to any other provision of this DPA and subject always to the “Limitation of Liability” section of the Agreement, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Insider One shall have no liability for any loss, damage, harm, penalty, cost, claim, or legal or regulatory violation—whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, punitive, special, regulatory, or reputational—arising out of or in connection with the Customer’s use of, reliance upon, or disclosure of any output, insight, suggestion, recommendation, prediction, summary, classification, explanation, risk assessment, decision proposal, content generation, data transformation, or any other result, guidance, analysis, or information produced by the AI Systems (each, an “AI Output”).
10. Use of Artificial Intelligence
10.1 Customer Due Diligence Obligation
The Customer acknowledges and accepts that any result, insight, suggestion, recommendation, prediction, summary, classification, explanation, risk assessment, decision proposal, content generation, data transformation, or other guidance, analysis, or information produced by the AI Systems (each, an “AI Output”) may be imprecise, inaccurate, misleading, contextually inappropriate, or non-compliant with applicable laws or regulations. The Customer therefore agrees to exercise independent judgement, oversight, and due diligence before using, relying on, or distributing any AI Output.
10.2 No AI Training on Customer Data
Insider One shall not use any Customer Data—including prompts, inputs, AI Outputs, or other Personal Data—for the purpose of training, fine-tuning, or otherwise developing or improving any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models, whether proprietary to Insider One or provided by a third party, except where the Parties have expressly agreed otherwise, or where a contrary provision is set out in other documentation governing the Insider One Services. This restriction applies irrespective of whether the data is anonymised, pseudonymised, or aggregated, and will remain in effect for the Term of the Agreement.
10.3 Permitted AI Processing
Except where the Parties have expressly agreed otherwise or where a contrary provision is set out in other documentation governing the Insider One Services, any Processing of Customer Data by or through the AI Systems shall be undertaken solely:
- to deliver the Services under the Agreement;
- in accordance with the Customer’s documented instructions; and
- in full compliance with applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations.
10.4 Automated Decisions
Where the use of AI Systems constitutes an Automated Decision Making operation that produces legal or similarly significant effects on Data Subjects, Insider One shall not perform such Processing unless expressly requested in writing by the Customer and subject to appropriate safeguards, such as human oversight, transparency, and—where required—data protection impact assessments. Where Customer requests such Processing and the PDPL applies, Customer shall be responsible for informing Data Subjects of the automated Processing, explaining the operating principles of the algorithm and its effects on their rights and legitimate interests, and offering Data Subjects the option not to participate, and Insider One shall provide Customer with the information reasonably available to it for that purpose.
10.5 Documentation and Cooperation
Upon the Customer’s reasonable written request, Insider One shall (i) provide available technical, organisational, and legal documentation regarding its AI-related Processing activities and (ii) cooperate in good faith with the Customer in connection with any data protection impact assessment or regulatory inquiry concerning the AI Systems. Also, Insider One shall provide reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational assistance upon Customer’s request to facilitate the Customer’s conduct of Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), particularly regarding the use of AI-driven features such as MindBehind, in compliance with applicable Data Protection Laws.
10.6 AI Transparency and Output Ownership
10.6.1 Model Transparency
Upon the Customer’s reasonable written request, Insider One shall disclose the categories of artificial intelligence and machine learning models used within the Services and indicate whether such models are proprietary to Insider One or sourced from third party vendors, provided that Insider One is not required to reveal trade secrets, model architectures, or other commercially sensitive information.
10.6.2 Material Changes
Insider One shall give the Customer prior notice of any material change to the AI Systems that would significantly alter the scope or nature of the Processing of Customer Data, including switching AI providers, introducing new model types, or materially modifying automated decision logic.
10.6.3 Output Ownership
Except where the parties have expressly agreed otherwise or where a contrary provision is set out in other documentation governing the Insider One Services, Insider One shall not acquire any ownership rights in AI Outputs generated by or on behalf of the Customer through use of the Services. Insider One may use such AI Outputs solely to deliver the Services under the Agreement and shall not exploit them for any other purpose without the Customer’s prior written authorisation. Nothing in this clause restricts Insider One from enhancing or developing its Services, provided that such enhancements do not use—or are not derived from—Customer Data or Customer specific AI Outputs without the Customer’s prior written consent.

If Customer requests an on-site Audit, the following terms shall apply:
- such Audit shall be limited to facilities operated by Insider One;
- such Audit shall not exceed one (1) business day;

12.1 Mutual Cooperation
Each Party shall, upon the other Party’s reasonable written request and at no additional charge unless otherwise agreed, provide the cooperation, assistance and information reasonably available to it that the requesting Party requires to prepare, file, update or supplement the data processing impact assessment (“DPIA”) and/or overseas transfer impact assessment (“OTIA”) dossiers.

12.7 Provision of Personal Data to Competent Authorities
Where a competent Vietnamese authority lawfully requests Insider One to provide Personal Data, information relating to Data Subjects or other information in connection with the investigation, verification or handling of a violation of law, Insider One shall:
- verify that the request is made in writing by an authority competent to make it and is within the scope permitted by applicable law;
- provide only the Personal Data and information specifically required by the request, in the manner and within the time limit prescribed by the request or by applicable law;

Additionally, Insider One may analyze data collected by users’ web browsers (e.g., device type, screen resolution, time zone, operating system version, browser type and version, system fonts, installed browser plug-ins, enabled MIME types, etc.) for security purposes, including to detect compromised browsers, to prevent fraudulent authentications, and to ensure that the Insider One Services function properly. Insider One’s APIs and Dashboard use strict role-based access controls and user permissioning. Unauthorized web requests and API calls are logged and automatically alert Insider One’s engineering team.
7. Security Logs
All Insider One systems used in the provision of the Insider One Services, including firewalls, routers, network switches, and operating systems log information to their respective system log facility in order to enable security reviews and analysis.
8. System Patching and Configuration Management
Insider One patches its servers and rebuilds its entire cloud infrastructure from configuration management systems on a regular basis, which ensures that the latest patches are applied and that we “reset” back to a known, clean state. Insider One maintains multiple environments and tests changes in containerized development environments and in live staging environments before making changes to production environments.
9. Vulnerability Management
Insider One’s infrastructure and applications are continuously scanned by a Vulnerability Management System. Alerts are monitored by our Security Team and addressed at least monthly by the Insider One Security Team. Insider One also maintains a list membership to various CVE vulnerability mailing lists. Patches and ‘critical’ and ‘high’ vulnerabilities are remediated no later than 30 days following discovery. Insider One also uses static code analysis tools during the build process (such as Brakeman and bundler-audit) to perform static security analysis.
10. Third-Party Penetration Testing
Insider One undergoes a third-party penetration test of the Insider One Services on an annual basis.
11. Monitoring
For technical monitoring, maintenance and support processes, Insider One uses a combination of tools to ensure that processes and servers are running properly, including but not limited to:
- Process monitoring
- CPU, disk, and memory monitoring
- Uptime monitoring
- Functional monitoring
- Database monitoring
- APM performance monitoring
- Latency monitoring
- Error monitoring
12. Customer Access Control
The Insider One Services employ a variety of security controls. These include, but are not limited to:
- API IP Whitelisting — Defines the range of IP addresses from which a customer’s users can access the Insider One API to prevent unauthorized third parties from accessing the Insider One Services.
- All requests on the Insider One Dashboard have cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection. All web services use encrypted HTTPS for all traffic and disallow all HTTP traffic via HTTP Strict Transport Security (“HSTS”).
- Failed login attempts are recorded and an account is locked out with the owner notified after multiple failed attempts.
13. Development and Maintenance
Insider One uses tools such as GitHub to effectively manage the development lifecycle. During testing, Insider One generates test accounts and fake data for testing. Insider One does not use production data in test accounts. Application source control is accomplished through private GitHub repositories. Insider One has controls in place to ensure that all code must be approved before being merged to Insider One’s main code branch; only authorized employees are granted access to promote code to production. Insider One developers receive additional security training as part of their onboarding, and undergo regular and periodic security training during the term of their employment. Insider One maintains a list of core security principles for engineering and high-level guidelines on security topics for secure software development.
14. Malware Prevention
Insider One adopts the principle of least privilege for all accounts running application or database services. Proper change management ensures that only authorized packages are installed via a package management system containing only trusted software, and that software is never installed manually. All Insider One employee computers have virus scanners installed and updated definitions sent out from a central device management platform.
15. Information Security Incident Management
Insider One maintains written and regularly-audited security incident management policies and procedures, including an Incident Response Plan to be enacted in the event of an incident.
16. Data Encryption
The Insider One Services use industry-accepted encryption practices to protect Customer Data and communications during transmissions between a customer’s network and the Insider One Services, including 256-bit TLS Certificates and 4096-bit RSA public keys at a minimum.
Insider One audits the TLS ciphers used in connection with the provision of the Services with third-party security auditors to ensure that anonymous or weak ciphers are not used. These audits also confirm that the Services do not allow client renegotiation, support downgrade attack protection and forward secrecy. Data shipped to Amazon Web Services is encrypted in transit and at-rest using AES-256 encryption via Amazon’s managed encryption key process. Where use of the Services requires a customer to provide access to third party services, Insider One performs additional encryption of that information.
17. Return and Deletion of Customer Data
The Insider One Services allow import, export, and deletion of Customer Data by authorized users at all times during the term of a customer’s subscription. Following termination or expiration of the Services, Insider One shall securely overwrite or delete Customer Data within 180 days following any such termination, in accordance with the Agreement, applicable laws and the Documentation.
18. Reliability and Backup
All networking components, SSL accelerators, load balancers, Web servers and application servers are configured in a redundant configuration. All Customer Data submitted to the Insider One Services is stored on a multiple database server with multiple active clusters for higher availability. All database servers replicate in near real-time and are backed up on a regular basis. Backups are encrypted using AES-256 encryption and verified for integrity.
19. Business Continuity Management and Disaster Recovery
Insider One has a formal and documented Business Continuity Procedure and Disaster Recovery Plan, which is tested annually. Insider One tests database backups and failovers as part of our Business Continuity Plan.
20. Blocking Third Party Access
The Insider One Services have not been designed to include any backdoors or similar functionality that would allow the government or any third parties to access Customer Data. We do not voluntarily provide any government or other third party with encryption keys, or any other way to break our encryption.
