Data Processing Addendum
Last Update: October 7th, 2026
This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) is part of the Agreement between HeadsUp and Customer. This DPA is incorporated into the Agreement by reference and describes the Parties’ obligations regarding the Processing of Personal Information. Customer enters into this DPA on behalf of itself and, to the extent required under Applicable Data Protection Laws, in the name of and on behalf of its Affiliates (if and to the extent that HeadsUp Processes Personal Information for such Affiliates that qualify as a Controller). HeadsUp is acting as a Processor and (where applicable) a Sub-Processor. All capitalized terms not defined in Section 21 or another Section of this DPA shall have the meanings provided in the Agreement.
1. Appointment
Customer appoints HeadsUp as a Processor (or Sub-Processor, as applicable) of Personal Information and is disclosing Personal Information to HeadsUp in that capacity exclusively for the provision of HeadsUp Services detailed in the Agreement. Customer and its Affiliates agree that HeadsUp may use Personal Information for purposes of performing its obligations under the Agreement and as otherwise contemplated in the Agreement. HeadsUp agrees: (a) each HeadsUp employee handling Personal Information will be subject to a duty of confidentiality; (b) it will promptly notify Customer upon determining HeadsUp can no longer meet its obligations under relevant Applicable Data Protection Laws or this DPA; (c) it will not retain, use, or disclose Personal Information for any purpose not permitted by the Agreement or Applicable Data Protection Laws; and (d) it will not combine or commingle Customer’s Personal Information with the personal information of any other HeadsUp customer. If the CCPA governs Customer’s use of the HeadsUp Services, then Customer shall also appoint HeadsUp as a Service Provider (as defined in the CCPA) and Annex IV: CCPA Terms shall also apply.
2. Documented Instructions
HeadsUp and its Sub-Processors will Process Personal Information only in accordance with the documented instructions of Customer. The Agreement, including this DPA, constitutes Customer’s primary documented instructions to HeadsUp regarding the Processing of Personal Information, including for purposes of the applicable international transfer mechanism pursuant to Sections 11 to 14 of this DPA. HeadsUp will, unless legally prohibited from doing so, inform Customer in writing if it reasonably believes that there is a conflict between Customer’s instructions and Applicable Data Protection Law.
3. Customer Obligations
Customer and its Affiliates warrant that they: (a) will comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws, including applicable obligations as a Controller and (where applicable) a Processor; (b) have provided all notices and obtained all consents and rights necessary under Applicable Data Protection Laws for HeadsUp to Process Personal Information and provide the HeadsUp Services; (c) will ensure that there is at all times a sufficient legal basis for HeadsUp’s Processing as permitted under this DPA; and (d) will limit the provisioning of Personal Information to HeadsUp only to the amount and types of data adequate, relevant, and necessary for performing the HeadsUp Services. Without limiting any payment obligations under the Agreement, Customer shall promptly notify HeadsUp and cease use of the HeadsUp Services in the event any required authorization or legal basis for Processing is revoked or terminated and promptly notify HeadsUp if it discovers any unauthorized access to its Personal Information. Nothing in this DPA relieves Customer of its own direct responsibilities and liabilities under Applicable Data Protection Laws.
4. Privacy Inquiries and Requests
Customer is responsible for handling any Privacy Inquiry and Privacy Request (as defined below) from Data Subjects with respect to their Personal Information Processed by HeadsUp. HeadsUp agrees to provide Customer the information and assistance required under Applicable Data Protection Laws to enable Customer to respond to: (a) questions or complaints received from Data Subjects regarding Personal Information (“Privacy Inquiry”); and (b) requests from Data Subjects exercising their rights in Personal Information granted to them under Applicable Data Protection Laws (“Privacy Request”). HeadsUp will respond no later than 7 days after receiving a Privacy Inquiry or Privacy Request (or such shorter period as is necessary to enable Customer to meet any applicable statutory deadline), providing information sufficient to enable Customer to respond in accordance with the timelines set forth in Applicable Data Protection Laws. If HeadsUp is directly contacted with a Privacy Inquiry or Privacy Request, HeadsUp will promptly forward such inquiry to Customer. Customer shall inform HeadsUp of any Data Subject request made pursuant to Applicable Data Protection Laws with which HeadsUp is required to comply and will provide all reasonable information necessary for HeadsUp to comply with the request. Customer shall submit privacy-related requests to privacy@headsup.health.
5. Data Protection Impact Assessment
Taking into account the HeadsUp Services provided and the information available to HeadsUp and Customer, HeadsUp shall cooperate with Customer, at Customer’s reasonable expense (except where the assessment primarily concerns HeadsUp’s own systems, infrastructure, or processing operations, in which case HeadsUp and Customer shall share such costs in proportion to the subject matter of the assessment), to enable Customer to conduct data protection impact assessment(s) required for Customer to comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws.
6. Security
HeadsUp has implemented and shall maintain technical and organizational measures which are appropriate to the risk and which are designed to protect Personal Information from a Security Incident, to preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Personal Information, and to protect the rights of the relevant Data Subjects as defined in Applicable Data Protection Laws. Such security measures are further detailed in Annex II: Security Measures. If the Customer’s access to the HeadsUp Services includes any security controls, features, and functionalities (as further detailed in the Documentation), Customer is responsible for implementing those measures to enhance the security of the Personal Information.
7. Security Incident
Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident, HeadsUp will inform Customer without undue delay and provide information required by Applicable Data Protection Laws to enable Customer to fulfill its reporting obligations required under Applicable Data Protection Laws. Where complete information is not yet available, HeadsUp will provide an initial notification followed by updates as further details become known. If the Security Incident was caused by HeadsUp, HeadsUp shall further take reasonable measures to remedy or mitigate the effects of the Security Incident and will keep Customer reasonably informed of such measures.
8. Audits
Upon Customer’s written request, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement, HeadsUp shall make available to Customer or, subject to HeadsUp’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Customer’s independent, third-party auditor (provided Customer remains responsible for an approved auditor’s compliance with the confidentiality obligations in the Agreement) copies of, or extracts from, HeadsUp’s audit reports and information related to the security of the HeadsUp Services in order to verify HeadsUp’s compliance with the obligations set forth in this DPA (“Information Request”). HeadsUp shall also respond within a reasonable timeframe to Customer requests for documentation that verifies that it no longer retains or uses Personal Information that has been subject to a lawful deletion request to Customer (including a request Customer submits on behalf of a Data Subject). Where HeadsUp’s compliance with this DPA cannot be verified through an Information Request, Customer may request an audit (“Audit”). An Audit must meet the following requirements: (a) Customer must provide HeadsUp at least 60 days’ prior written notice of a proposed Audit unless otherwise required by a competent supervisory authority or Applicable Data Protection Laws; (b) Customer may not perform more than one Audit in any 12-month period, except where required by a competent supervisory authority; (c) Customer and HeadsUp must mutually agree on the time, scope, and duration of the Audit in advance; (d) Customer must reimburse HeadsUp for its time expended in connection with an Audit at HeadsUp’s reasonable professional service rates, which will be made available to Customer on request; (e) Customer must ensure that its representatives performing an Audit protect the confidentiality of all information obtained through the Audit in accordance with the Agreement; and (f) remote Audits shall be utilized where possible, with on-site Audits occurring only where a walkthrough of the premises is required.
9. Deletion or Return of Data
Following termination of the Agreement, Customer shall (if it notifies HeadsUp in writing of its request) have 30 days to export its Personal Information from the HeadsUp Services and after such time has passed HeadsUp shall destroy all Personal Information in its possession or control and, upon Customer’s written request, provide a written certification of such destruction. This requirement shall not apply to the extent that: (a) HeadsUp is required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Personal Information; or (b) Personal Information is archived on HeadsUp’s back-up and support systems, which shall be deleted in accordance with its security procedures, provided that HeadsUp shall continue to protect such Personal Information in accordance with its obligations herein.
10. Sub-Processors
Customer hereby provides general authorization to HeadsUp to engage third-party Sub-Processors to Process any Personal Information, with the current list of Sub-Processors shown at https://headsuphealth.com/subprocessors (“Sub-Processor Table”). HeadsUp will impose data protection terms on any Sub-Processor it appoints which are designed to protect the Personal Information with substantially the same standard provided for by this DPA. HeadsUp may make changes to its Sub-Processors, provided: (a) it shall inform Customer of any intended changes concerning its Sub-Processors by updating the Sub-Processor Table; and (b) Customer may object in writing to HeadsUp’s appointment of a new Sub-Processor within 30 days of such appointment so long as the objection is based on reasonable data privacy or security concerns. HeadsUp will not use a new Sub-Processor until such 30 days have passed (except in the event of an emergency). If Customer submits an objection to a new Sub-Processor, the Parties will work together to find an agreed-upon solution. If no solution is agreed upon within the 30-day period, Customer may terminate the Agreement.
11. Data Privacy Framework
Customer acknowledges that HeadsUp complies with the Data Privacy Framework and that transfers of Personal Information to HeadsUp made under the Data Privacy Framework shall not be a Restricted Transfer. HeadsUp will notify Customer if its Data Privacy Framework certification lapses or is otherwise invalidated, in which event any transfers of Personal Information from Customer to HeadsUp shall be deemed a Restricted Transfer and the provisions of Annex III: Standard Contractual Clauses shall apply without the Parties being required to take any further action.
12. Restricted Transfers
Before undertaking any Restricted Transfer, HeadsUp shall review the adequacy of data protection in the Third Country and shall apply (where necessary) the appropriate measures to ensure that the Personal Information transferred is subject to an essentially equivalent protection as that guaranteed in its original jurisdiction. If at any time HeadsUp is unable to comply with its legal or contractual obligations related to international transfers under European Data Protection Laws it shall notify Customer and suspend the applicable transfers of Personal Information until it is able to comply with such obligations.
13. Restricted Transfers to HeadsUp
In connection with the HeadsUp Services, the Parties anticipate that HeadsUp (and its Sub-Processors) may Process Personal Information outside of the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK that is protected by European Data Protection Laws in respect of which Customer or its Affiliates may be a Controller (or Processor on behalf of a third-party Controller, as applicable). The Parties agree that when the transfer of Personal Information protected by European Data Protection Laws from Customer or its Affiliates to HeadsUp is a Restricted Transfer, then the provisions of Annex III: Standard Contractual Clauses shall apply. If the Data Privacy Framework is subsequently revoked or held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, then the provisions of Annex III: Standard Contractual Clauses shall apply without the Parties being required to take any further action. Additionally, to the extent that HeadsUp and Customer are relying on any other specific statutory mechanism to comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws and that mechanism is subsequently revoked or held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, HeadsUp will, in good faith, pursue a suitable alternate mechanism that can lawfully support the transfer.
14. Restricted Transfers to Sub-Processors
With respect to Restricted Transfers made to HeadsUp, HeadsUp may neither participate in, nor permit any Sub-Processor to participate in, any further Restricted Transfer unless the further Restricted Transfer is made in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws and a legally compliant transfer mechanism.
15. Data Localization Restrictions
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement (including this DPA), Customer shall not use or access the HeadsUp Services in a manner that would require Content, Personal Information, or its environment to be hosted in or localized to a specific country pursuant to such country’s Applicable Data Protection Laws.
16. Government Access Requests
If HeadsUp receives a subpoena, court order, warrant or other legal demand from law enforcement or any public or judicial authority seeking the disclosure of Customer’s Personal Information, HeadsUp will, to the extent legally permitted, attempt to: (a) redirect the governmental body to request such Personal Information directly from Customer; and (b) challenge any demand that appears overbroad, procedurally defective, or otherwise not in compliance with applicable law through appropriate legal process. As part of this attempt, HeadsUp may provide Customer’s basic contact information to the governmental body. If compelled to disclose the Personal Information to a governmental body, HeadsUp will give Customer reasonable advance notice of the legal demand to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, unless HeadsUp is legally prohibited from doing so. In any event, HeadsUp will disclose only the minimum amount of Personal Information strictly necessary to satisfy the legal demand.
17. Affiliates
HeadsUp’s obligations in this DPA shall also extend to Customer’s Affiliates, subject to the following conditions: (a) Customer is solely responsible for communicating any additional processing instructions on behalf of its Affiliates; (b) Customer shall be responsible for its Affiliates’ compliance with this DPA and all acts and/or omissions by an Affiliate with respect to Customer’s obligations under this DPA; and (c) if an Affiliate seeks to assert a legal demand, action, suit, claim, proceeding or otherwise against HeadsUp (“Affiliate Claim”), Customer must bring such Affiliate Claim directly against HeadsUp on behalf of such Affiliate, unless Applicable Data Protection Laws require the Affiliate be a party to such claim, and all Affiliate Claims shall be considered claims made by Customer. In no event will this DPA or any Party restrict or limit the rights of any Data Subject or of any competent supervisory authority.
18. Change in Law
If any change in Applicable Data Protection Laws (a “Change in Law”) materially affects either Party’s ability to perform its obligations under this DPA or renders any provision of this DPA non-compliant, inadequate, or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith such amendments to this DPA as are reasonably necessary to address the Change in Law and ensure continued compliance. Either Party may initiate such negotiations by providing written notice to the other Party describing the Change in Law and the proposed amendments. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon and execute such amendments within a reasonable time, and in any event prior to the effective date of the Change in Law where practicable.
19. Aggregate Liability
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement and to the maximum extent permitted by law, each Party’s and all of its Affiliates’ liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or related to this DPA, the SCCs or any data protection agreements in connection with the Agreement (if any), whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, shall remain subject to Section 7 (Liability) of the Terms.
20. Law & Jurisdiction
This DPA will be governed by and construed in accordance with the governing law and jurisdiction provisions in the Agreement, unless required otherwise by Applicable Data Protection Laws.

HeadsUp’s information security program, as established through its Information Security Policy’s internal controls and procedures, is designed to ensure: (a) Content HeadsUp processes is protected against accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized loss, access, or disclosure; (b) reasonably foreseeable risks relating to security and unauthorized access are identified and protected against; and (c) security risks are minimized by implementing, maintaining, and regularly assessing such controls.
Access Controls
HeadsUp has instituted access control management policies: (a) governing the security of HeadsUp’s information, networks, applications, and systems aimed to prevent unauthorized access to such items; and (b) relating to HeadsUp’s networks, applications, and systems to ensure only authorized users access appropriate information based on their role and to prevent unauthorized access to the same.
Encryption and Key Management
All encryptions for data and relating to key management shall be end-to-end and be performed in accordance with industry standards, including NIST SP 800-57. The below represents HeadsUp’s encryption methods for at-rest and in-transit data.
- At-Rest: AES 256-bit symmetric encryption
- In-Transit: TLS 1.2 (minimum)
Asset Management
HeadsUp has instituted policies that appropriately identify and classify its assets to ensure their security and integrity. Protection levels are established pursuant to the corresponding asset’s importance and exposure to sensitive information, and are designed to prohibit unauthorized disclosures, loss, damage, or destruction of information in relation to the asset.
Contingency Planning
HeadsUp has instituted redundancy controls to eliminate single points of failure and minimize the impact of possible physical and environmental risks. It has also established a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan, which it tests regularly, to help ensure the HeadsUp Services’ continuity.
Security Incident Response
HeadsUp has instituted policies to minimize a security incident’s impact, including as it relates to the availability and confidentiality of the HeadsUp Services. These policies help HeadsUp to efficiently respond, mitigate, handle, and communicate issues relating to a security incident.
Risk Management
- Internal – implements and maintains policies to manage potential risks, including conducting risk assessments and corresponding mitigation efforts regarding loss, unavailability, damage, or unauthorized access to HeadsUp’s information, networks, or controls.
- External (Including System Governance) – HeadsUp has instituted policies and controls for HeadsUp to vet its vendors to establish appropriate security measures, including contract reviews to ensure appropriate controls and systems are in place and conducting due diligence to effectively on-board and off-board HeadsUp vendors. Once a vendor is on-boarded, HeadsUp has instituted policies relating to the monitoring, developing, and supporting of the on-boarded systems and solutions.
Security Controls
- Network – implements and maintains controls protecting HeadsUp’s network generally, including protecting the transferring of information, network security, segregated networks, and network services as information is processed and transferred.
- Operational – implements and maintains controls ensuring the secure management of its information technology systems relating to system integrity, protecting against the exploitation of technical vulnerabilities, malware, and data loss, and standardizing backups, logging, installations, and change management.
- Physical – implements and maintains controls addressing physical and environmental threats by identifying security and access controls regarding personnel, visitors, equipment, secure/controlled areas, threat detection, destruction of data, and office documentation and organization management to prohibit unauthorized access and the loss or damage to HeadsUp’s systems, data, and operations.
- Personnel – implements and maintains controls governing hiring standards and procedures, including appropriate vetting of prospective personnel, background check requirements, and utilizing appropriate confidentiality and employment-related agreements.
