Appendix 2: Additional Technical and Organizational Measures

1Looker Application. Looker will only access and process Customer Personal Data provided by or on behalf of Customer to Looker via a Customer Instance of the Looker Application. Customer's use of the Looker Application is governed by Customer's Looker Application Agreement, including any security measures applicable to the Looker Application.

2. Internal Data Access Processes and Policies – Access Policy. Looker's internal data access processes and policies are designed to prevent unauthorized persons and/or systems from gaining access to systems used to process personal data. Looker designs its systems to (i) only allow authorized persons to access data they are authorized to access; and (ii) ensure that personal data cannot be read, copied, altered or removed without authorization during processing, use and after recording. The systems are designed to detect any inappropriate access. Looker employs a centralized access management system to control personnel access to production servers, and only provides access to a limited number of authorized personnel. Looker's authentication and authorization systems utilize SSH certificates and security keys, and are designed to provide Looker with secure and flexible access mechanisms. These mechanisms are designed to grant only approved access rights to site hosts, logs, data and configuration information. Looker requires the use of unique user IDs, strong passwords, two factor authentication and carefully monitored access lists to minimize the potential for unauthorized account use. The granting or modification of access rights is based on: the authorized personnel's job responsibilities; job duty requirements necessary to perform authorized tasks; and a need to know basis. The granting or modification of access rights must also be in accordance with Looker's internal data access policies and training. Approvals are managed by workflow tools that maintain audit records of all changes. Access to systems is logged to create an audit trail for accountability. Where passwords are employed for authentication (e.g., login to workstations), password policies that follow at least industry standard practices are implemented. These standards include restrictions on password reuse and sufficient password strength.

3. Personnel Security. Looker personnel are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the company's guidelines regarding confidentiality, business ethics, appropriate usage, and professional standards. Google conducts reasonably appropriate background checks to the extent legally permissible and in accordance with applicable local labor law and statutory regulations.

Personnel are required to execute a confidentiality agreement and must acknowledge receipt of, and compliance with, Google's confidentiality and privacy policies. Personnel are provided with security training. Personnel handling Customer Data are required to complete additional requirements appropriate to their role (e.g., certifications). Google's personnel will not process Customer Data without authorization.

4. Additional Security Measures. Looker and Customer may agree to additional security measures in the applicable Order Form, including any attached SOW, for the Services.
