Data Processing Addendum
Last Updated: April 24, 2026
This Data Processing Addendum, including its Appendices (collectively, the “DPA”), forms part of and is incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service or any other applicable written agreement between ShareCRM and Customer governing the provision and use of ShareCRM’s services, including any related offline or mobile applications or components (collectively, the “Services”) (the “Agreement”). This DPA sets out the Parties’ respective rights and obligations with respect to the Processing of Personal Data in connection with the Services.
Applicability
This DPA applies where ShareCRM, acting as the processor, processes Personal Data on behalf of Customer in connection with the Services and forms part of the agreement governing Customer’s use of the Services.
This DPA applies only where there is a valid contractual relationship governing the Customer’s use of the Services, including where Customer has entered into the Terms of Service directly with ShareCRM, or where Customer has entered into an applicable order form or similar purchasing document that incorporates such Terms, whether directly or through a ShareCRM Affiliate acting as a reseller or sales contracting entity.
Where the Services are provided to Customer indirectly through an authorized reseller or distributor that is not a ShareCRM Affiliate, this DPA applies solely to the Processing of Personal Data carried out by ShareCRM in connection with the provision and operation of the Services. This DPA does not govern any independent processing of Personal Data by such reseller or distributor, which shall be subject to the reseller’s or distributor’s own data protection terms and policies, and does not create a direct contractual relationship between Customer and any such reseller or distributor for purposes of this DPA.
The scope of this DPA is limited to the Processing of Personal Data in environments controlled by ShareCRM, including processing carried out through centralized or shared service arrangements within the ShareCRM Group and its authorized Sub-processors. This includes Personal Data transmitted to ShareCRM through the Services, but excludes any data that remains on Customer’s premises or within third-party environments independently selected and controlled by Customer.
For the avoidance of doubt, this DPA applies only to Personal Data that constitutes Customer Data and is processed by ShareCRM on behalf of Customer in its capacity as a processor. Any Personal Data Processed by ShareCRM or any of its Affiliates in their capacity as a controller, including in connection with account administration, billing, support, security, or compliance-related activities, is outside the scope of this DPA and is governed by ShareCRM’s Privacy Policy.
Execution of this DPA
This DPA may be executed by Customer by (i) signing this DPA, whether physically or electronically, including where this DPA is incorporated as an appendix or attachment to the Agreement; or (ii) accepting the Agreement or using the Services where such acceptance constitutes agreement to this DPA.
This DPA shall become effective on the date of the Customer’s acceptance or signature, whichever occurs first.
Where applicable law requires the execution of standard contractual clauses as a separate instrument, such clauses shall be deemed executed upon Customer’s acceptance of this DPA, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

7.4 Assistance with Regulatory and Data Subject Notifications
Taking into account the nature of the Processing and to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, ShareCRM shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer in connection with Customer’s obligations to notify competent Supervisory Authorities, affected Data Subjects, or other persons of a Data Breach, where such notification is required by applicable law.
