- Vendor shall not have Customer Data Processed by a Sub-Processor unless such Sub-Processor is bound by a written agreement with Vendor that includes data protection obligations at least as protective as those contained in this DPA and the applicable Service Agreement(s) and that meet the requirements of Applicable Laws. Vendor is and shall remain fully liable to Customer for any failure by any Sub-Processor to fulfill Vendor’s data protection obligations under Applicable Laws.

Vendor may modify the terms of this DPA if, as reasonably determined by Vendor, such modification is (i) reasonably necessary to comply with Applicable Laws or any other law, regulation, court order or guidance issued by a governmental regulator or agency; and (ii) does not: (a) result in a degradation of the overall security of the Services, (b) expand the scope of, or remove any restrictions on, Vendor’s processing of Personal Data, and (c) otherwise have a material adverse impact on Customer’s rights under this DPA. Any other amendments must be executed by both of the Parties and expressly state that they are amending this DPA. Failure to enforce any provision of this DPA shall not constitute a waiver. If any provision of this DPA is found unenforceable, it and any related provisions shall be interpreted to best accomplish the unenforceable provision’s essential purpose. The headings contained in this DPA are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this DPA.

- With respect to Vendor Data transferred from the European Economic Area, the EU SCCs will apply and form part of this Schedule II, unless the European Commission issues updates to the EU SCCs, in which case the updated EU SCCs will control. Undefined capitalized terms used in this provision will have the meanings given to them (or their functional equivalents) in the definitions in the EU SCCs. For purposes of the EU SCCs, they will be deemed completed as follows:

- References to the GDPR in the EU SCCs are to be understood as references to the FADP insofar as the data transfers are subject exclusively to the FADP and not to the GDPR.
- The term “member state” in the EU SCCs will not be interpreted in such a way as to exclude data subjects in Switzerland from the possibility of suing for their rights in their place of habitual residence (Switzerland) in accordance with Clause 18(c) of the EU SCCs.

You hereby consent to us contacting you for marketing purposes with information about our Services, promotions and special offers. If you no longer wish to receive such marketing information, you can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us as indicated in Section 1 above or unsubscribing from the communications.
If you have given consent, we may share your information with carefully selected third party organisations and business partners and they may contact you directly. If you would prefer to no longer receive direct marketing communications from third parties and partners after previously giving your consent, please contact those third parties and partners directly to withdraw the consent.
If you reside in California, you have the right to ask us one time each year if we have shared personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make a request, please contact us as indicated in Section 1 above. Indicate in your email or letter that you are a California resident making a “Shine the Light” inquiry.
5. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA
Many of our external third parties are based throughout the world so their processing of your Personal Data may involve a transfer of data outside of your country of residence.
Whenever we transfer your Personal Data out of your country of residence, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- We will only transfer your Personal Data using processes that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data.
- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use by the UK and the EU which give Personal Data the same protection it has in the UK and EU.
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Data out of your country of residence.
6. PROTECTING YOUR INFORMATION
We want you to feel confident about using our website, and we are committed to protecting the Personal Data we collect. We limit access to Personal Data about you to employees who reasonably need access to it, to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs. We maintain appropriate technical and organisational physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the Personal Data that you provide to us against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, damage or destruction.
We have also put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
7. RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA
We retain your Personal Data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes as described in this Policy above.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
You can obtain details of retention periods for different aspects of your Personal Data by contacting us.
8. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Under certain circumstances, if you have a direct contractual relationship with Percent, you may have rights under data protection laws in relation to your Personal Data. You can learn more about your rights further down in this section. However, if we have collected your Personal Data as a result of agreements we have in place with our Clients, those Clients control our use of your Personal Data and determine how and for what purpose we process Personal Data.
If we do not have a direct contractual relationship with you, but you have any questions or concerns about how your Personal Data is handled or would like to exercise your rights as a data subject, you should contact the Client who has contracted with us to use the Services to process your Personal Data. We will provide assistance to the Client to address any concerns you may have, in accordance with the terms of our contract with them and applicable law.
If you have a direct contractual relationship with Percent, in certain circumstances, you have the right to:
- Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. Where we have good reason, and where data protection law permits, we can refuse your request for a copy of your information, or certain elements of the request. If we refuse your request or any element of it, we will provide you with our reason(s) for doing so.
- Request correction of the Personal Data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- Request erasure of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
- Right to Object to or Restrict Processing. In certain circumstances, you have the right to object to our processing of your information (for example, if we are processing your information on the basis of our legitimate interests but there are no longer any compelling legitimate grounds to justify our processing overriding your rights and interests).
- You may also have the right to restrict our use of your information, for example during a period in which we are verifying the accuracy of your information in circumstances where you have challenged the accuracy of that information.
- Request the transfer of your Personal Data to you or to a third party. In certain instances, you have a right to receive the information that we hold about you (or a portion thereof) in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
- In such circumstances, you can ask us to transmit your information to you or directly to a third-party organisation on your behalf.
- While we are happy for such requests to be made, we are not able to guarantee technical compatibility with a third-party organisation’s systems. We are also unable to comply with requests that relate to personal information of others without their consent.
- Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.
NO FEE USUALLY REQUIRED
You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
CHANGE OF PURPOSE
We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.
If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you to obtain consent or to explain the legal basis which allows us to use the Personal Data for the unrelated purpose.
Please note that we may process your Personal Data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

Donation Delivery Policy
Percent Donation Delivery Policy
Effective Date: November 1, 2023
Donation policy
All donations made via Percent partner programs are delivered exclusively to the relevant registered nonprofit foundation (as highlighted at the point of donation):
- Intelligent Foundation (registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, Registration Number 1192508),
- Intelligent Foundation (registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission, ABN 48156978613); or
- Percent Impact Foundation (registered with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Federal Tax ID: 87-3165286)
(each a “Foundation” and collectively, the “Foundations”) with each donor recommending a charitable organisation (as defined by applicable law) (each, a “Charity”) to which the donor wishes funds to be granted.
Percent works with the Foundations to collect and grant donations made via Percent partner programs in the most tax effective manner based on the donor’s original donation currency.
All donations are made to the respective Foundation, and the application of the donation for charitable purposes is at the discretion of the Foundation. However, subject to the completion of satisfactory due diligence, the Foundation will seek where possible to make grants in accordance with donor recommendations.
The schedule of disbursing donations to recommended Charities depends on whether the Charity has registered with Percent to receive regular disbursements through bank transfer.
Claimed Charities
If the recommended Charity has registered with Percent to receive payouts, grants due to the Charity will be disbursed (net any applicable fees) on a monthly basis so long as the payout has reached the minimum disbursement amount. If the recommended Charity has signed up with Percent and provided verified bank details, any funds due will be delivered via bank transfer into the account registered by the Charity and verified by Percent.
If aggregated donations do not meet the minimum disbursement amount, funds are held until they equal the threshold. However, if after twelve months funds are still being held, the Foundation will disburse all pending donations to the Charity regardless of whether the minimum disbursement amount has been met.
Aggregating payments and setting a minimum threshold reduces the administrative burden for Charities. In addition, claimed Charities can review donation reporting in their cause dashboard, accessible via Percent.
Unclaimed Charities
Donors on occasion may also have the option to recommend funds to be granted to Charities not yet registered with Percent to receive payouts. In these instances, the Charity information is drawn from publicly available databases from Charity country regulators, such as the Charity Commission of England and Wales or Australian Charities for Not-for-profits Commission.
Every effort is made to register unclaimed Charity, so that the Foundation can make grant disbursements per the donor’s recommendation. Specifically, Percent contacts all unclaimed Charities due funds (above the minimum disbursement amount), asking them to onboard with Percent to receive funds swiftly and securely into their bank account.
If after repeated attempts to contact a Charity, typically over a 60-day period, Percent is unable to onboard them, we may then reassign funds based on the Undeliverable Donation Policy.
To receive funds from the Foundation, all benefiting charities need to pass rigorous due diligence checks, including governance and reputational verifications, to ensure only legitimate Charities entities receive grants.
Undeliverable Donation Policy
Percent Undeliverable Donation Policy
Effective Date: November 1, 2023
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Donation Delivery Policy, unless otherwise stated.
While all donations are legally made to the relevant registered nonprofit Foundation, every effort is made to deliver funds to the donor’s recommended Charity.
In rare instances where funds cannot be granted to the donor’s recommended cause – such as when the cause:
- fails to meet the due diligence requirements;
- closes down their operation; or
- does not onboard with Percent to receive funds
– then the Foundation reserves the right to reassign funds to another Charity.
In the event that funds need to be reassigned, the donor will be contacted (if possible) to request they select a new onboarded nonprofit to receive their donation.
If the donor is unreachable, then a similar Charity (based on the overall mission area of the recommended cause) will be selected to receive the funds. Where it is not possible to match the cause area of the donor’s recommended cause, funds will be granted to a Charity with a wide-ranging charitable mission.
Note, the tax status of a donation remains unchanged given the Foundation has received the donation and a donation receipt has been issued to the donor.
