EXHIBIT E

 

Nutanix – Vendor Data Processing Addendum

 

This Data Processing Addendum ("Addendum") sets out the terms that apply as between Nutanix (“Nutanix” or “OEM”) and Super Micro Computer, Inc. (“Supplier” or “Company”) when processing EEA personal data in connection with the existing or contemporaneous agreement between the parties under which personal data is shared (the “Agreement”) and forms part of the Agreement between the parties.  Capitalized terms used in this Addendum shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement, the Model Clauses, or unless otherwise defined in this Addendum.  

1.

Definitions: (a) "controller," "processor," "data subject," and "processing" (and "process") shall have the meanings given to them in Applicable Data Protection Law; (b) "Applicable Data Protection Law" means any and all applicable privacy and data protection laws and regulations applicable to the Personal Data in question, including, where applicable, EU Data Protection Law and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) (in each case, as may be amended, superseded or replaced from time to time); (c) "EU Data Protection Law" means: (i) the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679) ("GDPR"); and (ii) the EU e-Privacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC); and (iii) any national data protection laws made under or pursuant to clause (i) or (ii); (d) "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person to the extent that such information is protected as personal data under Applicable Data Protection Law; (e) “Model Clauses” means the Standard Contractual Clauses for Controllers as approved by the European Commission and available at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32004D0915 (as amended, superseded or updated from time to time); and (f) “CCPA” means Title 1.81.5 California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (California Civil Code §§ 1798.100–1798.199).

2.

Purposes of processing.  The parties acknowledge that in connection with the Agreement, each party may provide or make available to the other party Personal Data.  Each party shall process such data: (i) for the purposes described the Agreement; and/or (ii) as may otherwise be permitted under Applicable Data Protection Law.

3.

Relationship of the parties. Each party will process the copy of the Personal Data in its possession or control as an independent controller (not as a joint controller with the other party). For the avoidance of doubt and without prejudice to the foregoing, Nutanix shall be an independent controller of any Personal Data that it receives or shares with Company in connection with the Agreement.

4.

Compliance with law. Each party shall separately comply with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law and this Addendum when processing Personal Data.  Neither party shall be responsible for the other party's compliance with Applicable Data Protection Law.  In particular, each party shall be individually responsible for ensuring that its processing of the Personal Data is lawful, fair and transparent, and shall make available to data subjects a privacy statement that fulfils the requirements of Applicable Data Protection Law.

Nutanix agrees that it is a "data exporter" and Company is the "data importer" under the Model Clauses (notwithstanding that Nutanix may be an entity located outside of the EEA).

6.

Security:  Each party shall implement and maintain all appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect any copies of the Personal Data in their possession or control from (i) accidental or unlawful destruction, and (ii) loss, alteration, or unauthorised disclosure or access and to preserve the security and confidentiality of such Personal Data. Each party shall notify the other party without undue delay on becoming aware of any breach of EU Data Protection Law/Applicable Data Protection Law.
