This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) is entered into by and between Sumo Logic, Inc. (“Sumo Logic”) and Customer. This DPA amends the terms and forms part of the Master Service Agreement or other agreement between Customer and Sumo Logic governing the access to and use of Services (collectively, the “Master Agreement”).
1. DEFINITIONS AND BACKGROUND
1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined below or in Attachment 1 (Definitions) to this DPA shall have the meanings set forth in the Master Agreement.
1.2 Background. Customer and Sumo Logic (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”) acknowledge that Customer may be using the Services to Process Personal Data on behalf of itself, in which case Sumo Logic shall be a processor and Customer shall be a controller under this DPA, or Customer may be using the Services to Process Personal Data as a processor on behalf of its customers, in which case Sumo Logic shall be a sub-processor to Customer (and such customers shall remain the controller).
1.3 Effectiveness. This DPA shall be effective as of the effective date of the Master Agreement. If the Customer makes any deletions or revisions to this DPA, then this DPA is null and void. This DPA shall terminate automatically upon termination of the Master Agreement or as earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of this DPA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sumo Logic shall continue to secure Personal Data in accordance with the terms in this DPA for so long as Sumo Logic has access to such Personal Data.
2. DATA PROCESSING AND PROTECTION
2.1 Limitations on Use. Sumo Logic shall Process Personal Data only: (a) in a manner consistent with documented instructions as specified under Section 2.2 (Instructions), including with regard to transfers of Personal Data to a third country; and (b) as required by Data Protection Law, provided that Sumo Logic shall inform Customer (unless prohibited by such Data Protection Law) of the applicable legal requirement before Processing pursuant to such Data Protection Law (as further detailed in Section 2.3 (Confidentiality)).
2.2 Instructions. Customer instructs Sumo Logic to Process Personal Data to provide the Services and as otherwise authorized or permitted under the Master Agreement, including as specified in Attachment 2 (Scope of Processing). This DPA and the Master Agreement (including the instructions via configuration tools such as the Sumo Logic portal made available by Sumo Logic for the Services) constitute Customer’s documented instructions regarding Sumo Logic’s Processing of Personal Data. Additional instructions provided by Customer (if any) require prior written agreement by Customer and Sumo Logic, including agreement on any additional fees to carry out such instructions. Customer shall not instruct Sumo Logic to perform any Processing of Personal Data that violates any Data Protection Law. Sumo Logic may suspend Processing based upon any Customer instructions that Sumo Logic reasonably suspects violate Data Protection Law. Sumo Logic shall promptly inform Customer if, in Sumo Logic’s opinion, an instruction infringes Data Protection Law. Without limiting the instructions under this Section 2.2, Sumo Logic shall not retain, use, or disclose the Personal Data provided under the Master Agreement for any purpose other than for the specific purpose of performing the Services, including retaining, using, or disclosing the Personal Data for a commercial purpose other than providing the Services, and shall not sell the Personal Data. Please refer to Attachment 4 for US state law additions.
2.3 Confidentiality. Sumo Logic shall ensure that persons authorized by Sumo Logic to Process any Personal Data are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
2.4 Security. Sumo Logic shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Data against unauthorized or unlawful Processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, theft, alteration or disclosure in accordance with Attachment 3 (Data Security Exhibit). Sumo Logic may amend the technical and organizational measures, provided the new measures do not fall short of the level of security provided by the specified measures.
2.5 Disposal. At the choice of Customer, Sumo Logic shall (or shall enable Customer via the Services to) delete (and shall delete existing copies of) all Personal Data after the end of the provision of Services (unless Data Protection Law requires the storage of such Personal Data by Sumo Logic).
2.6 Customer Controls. Customer shall delete Personal Data not required for its use of the Services before ingestion via the Services. The Services provide Customer with a number of controls that Customer may exercise with respect to its Personal Data. Customer shall use these controls as technical and organisational measures to assist it in connection with obligations under Data Protection Law.
3. DATA PROCESSING ASSISTANCE
3.1 Data Subject Rights Assistance. Sumo Logic shall, to the extent permitted by Data Protection Law, notify Customer without undue delay if Sumo Logic receives a request from a Data Subject to exercise the Data Subject’s right of access, right to rectification, restriction of Processing, erasure, data portability, object to the Processing, its right not to be subject to an automated individual decision making or other Data Subject rights under Data Protection Law, each such request being a “Data Subject Request”. To the extent Customer, in its use of the Services, does not have the ability to address the Data Subject Request without further assistance, Sumo Logic shall, upon Customer’s request, provide commercially reasonable efforts to assist Customer in responding to such Data Subject Request, to the extent the response to such Data Subject Request is required under Data Protection Law.
3.2 Security Assistance. Taking into account the nature of Processing and the information available to Sumo Logic, Sumo Logic shall provide commercially reasonable efforts to assist Customer in ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to Article 32 of the GDPR by providing the information and assistance described in Section 4 (Audits).
3.3 Security Incident Notice and Assistance. Sumo Logic shall notify Customer without undue delay after confirming a Security Incident. Sumo Logic shall further take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate the effects and minimize any impact from the Security Incident. Taking into account the nature of Processing and the information available to Sumo Logic, Sumo Logic shall assist Customer in ensuring compliance with the applicable controller’s notification obligations imposed under Data Protection Law in connection with any Security Incident, including assistance necessary to facilitate the applicable controller’s compliance with Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR. Customer acknowledges that an unsuccessful Security Incident shall not be subject to this Section 3.3 (Security Incident Notice and Assistance). An unsuccessful Security Incident is one that results in no unauthorized access to Personal Data and may include, without limitation, pings and other broadcast attacks on firewalls or edge networks, port scans, unsuccessful log-on attempts, denial of service attacks, packet sniffing (or other unauthorized access to traffic data that does not result in access beyond headers) or similar incidents. Notifications of Security Incidents shall be delivered to one or more of Customer’s administrators. It is the Customer’s sole responsibility to maintain accurate contact information on the Sumo Logic portal and to use secure transmission at all times.
3.4 Data Processing Impact Assessment (“DPIA”) Assistance. Taking into account the nature of Processing and the information available to Sumo Logic, Sumo Logic shall provide commercially reasonable efforts to assist Customer in ensuring compliance with its obligations relating to DPIAs under Data Protection Laws, including pursuant to Articles 35 and 36 of the GDPR.
4. AUDITS
4.1 General Assistance. Subject to Section 4.3 (Customer Audits), Sumo Logic shall make available to Customer information necessary to demonstrate compliance with its obligations in this DPA. Any such information or results of audits shall be deemed the confidential information of Sumo Logic under the Master Agreement.
4.2 Sumo Logic Reports. Sumo Logic procures independent audits by third parties to assess Sumo Logic’s adherence to the following standards or requirements: (a) SOC 2 Type II (or reports or other documentation describing the controls implemented by Sumo Logic that replace or are substantially equivalent to SOC 2 Type II); (b) ISO 27001 (or certifications or other documentation evidencing compliance with such alternative standards as are substantially equivalent to ISO 27001); and (c) PCI DSS Service Provider Level 1 (or certifications or other documentation evidencing compliance with such alternative standards as are substantially equivalent to PCI DSS) (collectively, “Reports”). Subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Master Agreement, Sumo Logic shall provide Customer with a copy of Sumo Logic’s then-current summary of such audit reports or certifications as reasonably requested. If the Master Agreement does not include a provision protecting Sumo Logic’s confidential information, then the Reports shall be made available to Customer subject to a mutually agreed upon non-disclosure agreement covering the Reports.
4.3 Customer Audits. Customer shall only request additional information or an on-site audit of Sumo Logic to the extent information provided by Sumo Logic (including under Section 4.2 (Sumo Logic Reports)) is not reasonably sufficient to enable Customer to evaluate Sumo Logic’s compliance with this DPA. Customer can exercise any right it may have to conduct an audit by instructing Sumo Logic to carry out the audit described in Section 4.2 (Sumo Logic Reports). If Customer wishes to modify this instruction regarding the audit, then Customer has the right to request a modification by sending Sumo Logic written notice. Customer shall provide written communication of any audit findings to Sumo Logic. The scope of the audit shall not require Sumo Logic to disclose to Customer (or its authorized representatives): (i) any data or information of any other Sumo Logic customer; (ii) any Sumo Logic internal accounting or financial information; (iii) any Sumo Logic trade secret; (iv) any information that, in Sumo Logic’s reasonable opinion, could compromise the security of the systems or premises; or cause Sumo Logic to breach its obligations under Data Protection Law or security, confidentiality, or privacy obligations to another customer or other third party; or (v) any information that Customer seeks to access for any reason other than the good faith fulfillment of Customer obligations under the Data Protection Law and Sumo Logic’s compliance with the terms of this DPA. Sumo Logic reserves the right to suspend or terminate an audit in the event of a breach of this Section 4.3 (Customer Audits).
5. SUBPROCESSORS
5.1 Appointment of Subprocessors. Customer authorizes Sumo Logic to use subcontractors to Process Personal Data in connection with the provision of Services (each, a “Subprocessor”). Customer specifically consents to Sumo Logic’s appointment of the Sumo Logic applicable affiliates and third party Subprocessors listed at: https://www.sumologic.com/security/platform-security/subprocessors/ (or its successor site).
5.2 Objection Right for New Subprocessors.
- Sumo Logic may update the list of approved Subprocessors, at which point Customer may object to Sumo Logic’s use of a new Subprocessor within 10 days of receiving such notice if Customer reasonably determines that such Subprocessor is unable to Process Personal Data in accordance with the terms of this DPA (“Objection Notice”), by sending an e-mail to privacy@sumologic.com clearly indicating its desire to object to any such change. To receive notice of updates to the list of Subprocessors, Customer must subscribe via the update mechanism outlined in Sec. 5.1.
- If Customer objects to the change in Subprocessors in accordance with Section 5.1 (Appointment of Subprocessors), Sumo Logic and Customer shall cooperate in good faith to consider whether any accommodation may be available and whether any such accommodation may require payment of additional fees or expenses. If the parties do not agree on any proposed accommodation within 30 days of Sumo Logic’s receipt of Customer’s objection (“Accommodation Deadline”), then Customer may terminate the applicable Order Form(s) only with respect to those Services that Sumo Logic indicates cannot be provided without such change. Customer must exercise this right of termination within 14 days of the Accommodation Deadline or it shall waive such right of termination and shall be deemed to have rescinded its objection to such change. If Customer exercises its termination rights, then, as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, Sumo Logic shall refund Customer on a prorated basis any unused prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of such Order Form(s) following the effective date of termination.
5.3 Liability. Sumo Logic shall impose data protection obligations upon any Subprocessor that are no less protective than those included in this DPA. Sumo Logic shall remain liable for any breach of such obligations by its Subprocessors.
6. DATA TRANSFERS
The transfer of EEA, UK, and Swiss residents’ Personal Data outside of the respective jurisdiction to a country not deemed adequate by the applicable data protection authority (“Data Transfer”) shall be subject to a data protection regime pursuant to Chapter V GDPR, with Sumo Logic utilizing at the very least Standard Contractual Clauses.
6.1 New Standard Contractual Clauses. Where EEA or Swiss residents’ Personal Data is transferred, Customer shall notify Sumo Logic and any such transfer shall be conducted pursuant to the Standard Contractual Clauses attached as Attachment 5 and such clauses shall be deemed executed by the Parties as of the effective date of this DPA. Where Customer is processing Customer Data as a controller, Module Two of those clauses shall apply. Where Customer is processing Customer Data as a processor, Module Three of those clauses shall apply. Any audits required under those clauses shall be conducted pursuant to Section 4.3 (Customer Audits) of this DPA.
6.2 Transfers Subject to Swiss Data Protection Law. If any Personal Data subject to the Federal Act on Data Protection of 19 June 1992 (the “FADP”) is transferred out of Switzerland, the parties shall conduct such transfer pursuant to Section 6.1. The Standard Contractual Clauses for such transfers shall include the following provisions:
- The competent supervisory authority in Annex I.C under Clause 13 shall be the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner;
- References to a “Member State” and “EU Member State” shall not be read to prevent data subjects in Switzerland from the possibility of suing for their rights in their place of habitual residence (Switzerland) and references to GDPR shall be understood as references to the FADP; and
- Until the revised FADP enters into force, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall also protect the data of legal entities in Switzerland.
6.3 Transfers Subject to the UK GDPR. Any Data Transfer of Personal Data subject to the UK GDPR shall be pursuant to the Standard Contractual Clauses subject to the UK Addendum (which shall be deemed executed by the Parties as of the effective date of this DPA), incorporated herein by reference. If a competent governmental authority requires additional documentation to effectuate such transfers from the UK, then the parties shall work together in good faith to execute such other documentation. For transfers subject to the UK Addendum the following conditions shall apply: (a) the information required for Table 1 is contained in Part A of Annex I of Attachment 5 of this DPA; (b) in relation to Table 2, the version of the Standard Contractual Clauses to which the UK Addendum applies is Module Two for Controller to Processor and, where Customer acts as processor, Module Three for Processor to Processor transfers; (c) in relation to Table 3, the list of parties and description of the transfer are as set out in Attachment 2 of this DPA, Sumo Logic's technical and organisational measures are set in Attachment 3 of this DPA, and the list of Sumo Logic's sub-processors are as referenced in section 5.1 of this DPA; (d) in relation to Table 4, neither party shall be entitled to terminate the UK Addendum in accordance with clause 19 of the Mandatory Clauses of the UK Addendum; and (e) any audits required under the Standard Contractual Clauses subject to the UK Addendum shall be conducted pursuant to Section 4.3 (Customer Audits) of this DPA.
6.4 Supplementary Measures. The following additional safeguards shall be added as a new supplementary annex of the Standard Contractual Clauses where they apply:
- Data Exporter represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, the Personal Data it transfers under the Standard Contractual Clauses does not include any data that would be subject to access requests under Section 702 of the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance;
- Data Importer shall use reasonable measures to encrypt Personal Data transferred to it pursuant to the Standard Contractual Clauses during transmission via the Services; and
- If Data Importer receives a request for any such Personal Data from any government or law enforcement authority, it shall make commercially reasonable efforts to assert available defenses against making the disclosure and shall minimize the scope of any legally required disclosure to only that which is reasonably necessary to meet the disclosure obligation.
7. AUTHORIZED AFFILIATES
By executing this DPA, Customer enters into this DPA on behalf of itself and, as applicable, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates, thereby establishing a separate DPA between Sumo Logic and each such Authorized Affiliate subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and this Section 7 (Authorized Affiliates) and Section 8 (Limitation of Liability). Customer represents to Sumo Logic that it has and shall maintain such contracting authority. Each Authorized Affiliate shall be bound by the obligations under this DPA and, to the extent applicable, the Master Agreement. For clarity, an Authorized Affiliate is not and does not become a party to the Master Agreement, and is only a party to the DPA. All access to and use of the Services and Customer Data by Authorized Affiliates must comply with the terms and conditions of the Master Agreement, and any violation of the terms and conditions of the Master Agreement by an Authorized Affiliate shall be deemed a violation by Customer. Customer shall remain liable to Sumo Logic for the performance of its Authorized Affiliates
The Customer that is the contracting party to the Master Agreement shall remain responsible for coordinating all communications with Sumo Logic under this DPA, and be entitled to make and receive any communication in relation to this DPA on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates.
Where an Authorized Affiliate becomes a party to the DPA with Sumo Logic, it shall to the extent required under Data Protection Laws be entitled to exercise its rights and seek remedies under this DPA, subject to the following:
- Except where Data Protection Law requires the Authorized Affiliate to exercise a right or seek any remedy under this DPA against Sumo Logic directly by itself, (i) solely the Customer that is the contracting party to the Master Agreement shall exercise any right or seek any such remedy on behalf of the Authorized Affiliate, and (ii) the Customer that is the contracting party to the Master Agreement shall exercise any such rights under this DPA (not separately for each Authorized Affiliate individually but) in a combined matter for itself and all of its Authorized Affiliates together.
- For example, the Customer that is the contracting party to the Master Agreement shall, when requesting an audit of the procedures relevant to the protection of Personal Data, take all reasonable measures to limit impact on Sumo Logic and its Subprocessors by combining, to the extent reasonably possible, several audit requests carried out on behalf of itself and all of its Authorized Affiliates into one single audit.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each party’s and all of its Authorized Affiliates’ liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or related to this DPA, and all DPAs between Authorized Affiliates and Sumo Logic, whether in contract, tort, or under any other theory of liability, is subject to the “Limitation of Liability” section of the Master Agreement and other relevant provisions, and any reference to such section to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party and all of its affiliates (including Authorized Affiliates) under the Master Agreement and all DPAs together. Nothing in this Section 8 is intended to restrict the rights of data subjects under Data Protection Law.
9. MISCELLANEOUS
Customer shall pay any fees and expenses authorized under this DPA in accordance with the payment terms of the Master Agreement. The terms of this DPA shall control to the extent there is any conflict between terms of this DPA and the terms of the Master Agreement. To the extent there is any conflict between the terms of this DPA and applicable Standard Contractual Clauses, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall control. Except as specifically amended and modified by this DPA, the terms and provisions of the Master Agreement remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Without limiting the foregoing, the governing law clause and forum selection clause of the Master Agreement shall apply to any disputes arising out of this DPA. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no supplement, modification or amendment of this DPA shall be binding, unless executed in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party to this DPA. This DPA may be executed in several counterparts (including delivery via facsimile or electronic mail), each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

MODULE THREE: Transfer processor to processor
- The Parties warrant that they have no reason to believe that the laws and practices in the third country of destination applicable to the processing of the personal data by the data importer, including any requirements to disclose personal data or measures authorising access by public authorities, prevent the data importer from fulfilling its obligations under these Clauses. This is based on the understanding that laws and practices that respect the essence of the fundamental rights and freedoms and do not exceed what is necessary and proportionate in a democratic society to safeguard one of the objectives listed in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, are not in contradiction with these Clauses.
- The Parties declare that in providing the warranty in paragraph (a), they have taken due account in particular of the following elements:
- the specific circumstances of the transfer, including the length of the processing chain, the number of actors involved and the transmission channels used; intended onward transfers; the type of recipient; the purpose of processing; the categories and format of the transferred personal data; the economic sector in which the transfer occurs; the storage location of the data transferred;
- the laws and practices of the third country of destination– including those requiring the disclosure of data to public authorities or authorising access by such authorities – relevant in light of the specific circumstances of the transfer, and the applicable limitations and safeguards;
- any relevant contractual, technical or organisational safeguards put in place to supplement the safeguards under these Clauses, including measures applied during transmission and to the processing of the personal data in the country of destination.
- The data importer warrants that, in carrying out the assessment under paragraph (b), it has made its best efforts to provide the data exporter with relevant information and agrees that it shall continue to cooperate with the data exporter in ensuring compliance with these Clauses.
- The Parties agree to document the assessment under paragraph (b) and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
- The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter promptly if, after having agreed to these Clauses and for the duration of the contract, it has reason to believe that it is or has become subject to laws or practices not in line with the requirements under paragraph (a), including following a change in the laws of the third country or a measure (such as a disclosure request) indicating an application of such laws in practice that is not in line with the requirements in paragraph (a). For Module Three: The data exporter shall forward the notification to the controller.
- Following a notification pursuant to paragraph (e), or if the data exporter otherwise has reason to believe that the data importer can no longer fulfil its obligations under these Clauses, the data exporter shall promptly identify appropriate measures (e.g. technical or organisational measures to ensure security and confidentiality) to be adopted by the data exporter and/or data importer to address the situation, for Module Three, if appropriate in consultation with the controller. The data exporter shall suspend the data transfer if it considers that no appropriate safeguards for such transfer can be ensured, or if instructed by, for Module Three, the controller or in general the competent supervisory authority to do so. In this case, the data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses. If the contract involves more than two Parties, the data exporter may exercise this right to termination only with respect to the relevant Party, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise. Where the contract is terminated pursuant to this Clause, Clause 16(d) and (e) shall apply.

As indicated in the Master Agreement or Order Form.
Nature of the processing
Sumo Logic provides a cloud-based log, metrics and events management and analytics Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). A high-level depiction of the service is as follows: collect, process/analyze, inform. The service includes the following service components and features that may be chosen by Sumo Logic’s Customer:
Elastic Processing – Sumo Logic’s patented ELP engine scales each service component independently to meet each customer’s compute, storage, and processing requirements on demand. ELP’s absolute scalability supports a real-time indexing engine designed specifically for big data-scale volumes.
Managed Collection – Sumo Logic decouples the collection of log/metrics/events from data parsing and analysis, both of which are done inside the Sumo Logic service. Collectors and log sources are monitored by the service and collectors are automatically updated, eliminating the need for individual upgrades.
Managed Retention – Sumo Logic retains all log data in a highly secure, reliable repository to eliminate the need for data archiving, backups and restores, and redundancy strategies.
Real-Time Forensics – the Real-Time Forensics engine delivers search results from terabytes of log data uncovering actionable insights about new events occurring throughout the company’s infrastructure.
Log Reduce – Sumo Logic’s unique Log Reduce log reduction technology boils hundreds of thousands of log lines into a smaller number of digestible patterns that enable operations and security professionals to get to insights in seconds and find important system, application, and user behaviors that would otherwise remain buried under gigabytes of logs.
Customers purchase hosted log storage in units of storage/day (e.g. terabyte-days). Log files are streamed from customer end-points to the hosted service via the transport layer security (TLS) encryption protocol. Customers then have the ability to view and analyze log data via the service portal
Security Orchestration Automated Response - Cloud SOAR connects disparate tools to fully automate incident response and leave time-consuming, manual tasks behind. Playbooks highlight appropriate courses of action, reducing the time needed to remediate incidents. Automate your incident response with our adaptive SOAR solution to boost the efficiency of the entire team. A heartbeat is sent periodically to a Sumo Logic service which has the installation ID, IP address and number of nodes in the system for licence enforcement.
OSS Observability - Agents as collectors of metrics and events data send them over a TLS encrypted connection to a backend which transforms the data for storage into any system selected by the customer. All data is transmitted using TLS encryption. The backend is owned and operated by the Customer on-premise. A heartbeat is sent periodically to a Tessen service which has the installation ID, IP address and number of nodes in the system for licence enforcement.
Security Information and Event Management - Cloud SIEM connects to various security relevant data sources to collect, normalize and detect security incidents in near realtime to reduce false positives and the amount of investigation required by a SOC Analyst. Data could be from a sensor deployed into a network, 3rd party security products via an API or any of a number of log sources. The detected incidents are presented as signals or Insights which are groupings of signals that together indicate a significant event that requires investigation. This aggregation of signals reduces the number of false positives and number of incidents that require manual investigation, thus boosting the efficiency of the SOC team.
Purpose(s) of the data transfer and further processing
