- Spotless will process Customer Personal Data only on Customer's documented instructions, including the instructions described in the Terms, this DPA, and Customer's use of the Service, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

- Unless a confirmed security incident or supervisory authority request requires otherwise, any audit should occur no more than once in a twelve-month period and on reasonable prior notice.
8. Liability and governing terms
Except where Data Protection Laws require otherwise, each party's liability under this DPA is subject to the exclusions and limitations of liability in the applicable Services agreement. This DPA does not restrict either party's ability to comply with binding legal obligations under Data Protection Laws.
Schedule 1. Details of processing
Subject matter
Provision of the Spotless web application, related support, account administration, security operations, and optional integrations requested by Customer.
Duration
For the duration of the applicable Services agreement, plus any limited post-termination period reasonably required to return or delete data and satisfy legal or operational retention obligations.
Nature and purpose
Hosting, storing, organizing, analyzing, retrieving, displaying, securing, and otherwise processing Customer Personal Data so Spotless can provide HubSpot audit snapshots, workflow monitoring, duplicate analysis, workspace administration, support, and billing operations.
Data subjects
Customer users, Customer personnel, Customer prospects and contacts, Customer CRM records and record owners, support contacts, and other individuals whose personal data Customer makes available through the Service.
Categories of personal data
Business contact details, account identifiers, authentication data, CRM record fields and metadata, communication content, technical and device data, usage logs, and billing contact data.
Special category data
Spotless is not intended to require special category data for ordinary use. Customer should avoid submitting special category data unless it has determined that doing so is necessary and lawful.
Schedule 2. Technical and organizational measures
Access controls
Account access is authenticated, and product permissions are scoped to authorized users and workspace access rules.
Least-privilege integrations
Spotless is designed to operate read-only by default for HubSpot-connected analysis, with explicit actions required for supported write operations.
Secret protection
Sensitive integration secrets stored by the application are encrypted at rest, and access to the Service is designed to occur over encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections.
Logging controls
Spotless supports PII-safe logging behavior that redacts or hashes common direct identifiers in application logs.
Retention controls
Customer workspace settings include retention controls for certain audit data so stored outputs can be limited over time.
Security operations
Spotless maintains administrative, technical, and organizational controls intended to detect unauthorized access, respond to incidents, and keep access revocable.
Spotless may update these measures from time to time, provided the overall security posture for Customer Personal Data is not materially diminished.
