Standard Contractual Clauses Amendment

If the Looker Data Sciences, Inc. Data Protection Addendum does not govern the processing of your data by Google (including as an assignee of Looker Data Science, Inc.), then the terms of the amendment below do not apply to you and your existing Looker agreement governs your use of Looker services. 

This Standard Contractual Clauses Amendment (the "SCC Amendment") is entered into between Google and Customer and amends the Looker Data Sciences, Inc. Data Protection Addendum (the “Legacy Looker DPA Terms”). This SCC Amendment is effective on the date of the last signature appearing on the agreement into which this SCC Amendment is incorporated (the "Amendment Effective Date"). Each defined term used and not defined in this SCC Amendment has the meaning set forth in the Legacy Looker DPA Terms.
