1.1 For the purposes of this DPA:
The Customer acts as Data Controller
Clara acts as Data Processor
1.2 This DPA applies solely to the processing of Personal Data by Clara on behalf of the Customer as part of providing the Clara service. Processing where Clara acts as a Data Controller (for example, website usage, marketing, billing, or account administration) is governed by Clara’s Privacy Policy.
2. Subject matter, nature, and purpose of processing
2.1 The subject matter of the processing is the provision of an automatic time-tracking and activity analysis platform for legal practitioners.
2.2 The nature of the processing includes the collection, structuring, storage, analysis, association, and summarisation of work activity metadata.
2.3 The purpose of the processing is to:
automatically capture work activity metadata
associate activity with clients and matters
generate time entry narratives
enable review, reporting, and export of time records
2.4 The processing is carried out for the duration of the Customer’s use of the service, unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law.
3. Processing on documented instructions
3.1 Clara shall process Personal Data only on documented instructions from the Customer, including instructions given through configuration and use of the service.
3.2 Clara shall inform the Customer if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes applicable Data Protection Laws, unless prohibited by law from doing so.
4. Categories of data and data subjects
The categories of Personal Data and Data Subjects processed under this DPA are described in Annex I (Specification of Data Processing).
5. Confidentiality
Clara shall ensure that persons authorised to process Personal Data are bound by confidentiality obligations or are subject to appropriate statutory confidentiality requirements.
6. Security of processing
6.1 Clara implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the nature, scope, context, and purposes of the processing.
6.2 Such measures are described in Annex II (Security Measures).
7. Sub-processing
7.1 The Customer grants Clara a general authorisation to engage Sub-processors to process Personal Data on the Customer’s behalf.

7.3 Where the Customer objects to a new Sub-processor on reasonable data protection grounds, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve the concern. If resolution is not possible, the Customer may terminate the affected part of the service.
7.4 Clara shall ensure that all Sub-processors are subject to data protection obligations no less protective than those set out in this DPA.
8. Assistance to the Customer
8.1 Taking into account the nature of the processing, Clara shall provide reasonable assistance to enable the Customer to respond to requests from Data Subjects exercising their rights under Data Protection Laws.
8.2 Clara shall assist the Customer with data protection impact assessments and prior consultations with supervisory authorities where required, to the extent applicable to the processing performed under this DPA.
9. Personal Data Breach
9.1 Clara shall notify the Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Personal Data processed on behalf of the Customer.
9.2 Such notification shall include information reasonably required to allow the Customer to comply with its obligations under Data Protection Laws.

11. Audits and compliance
11.1 Clara shall make available to the Customer information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA.

Where a transfer to a third country becomes necessary, such transfer shall be subject to appropriate safeguards in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
