- PubMatic shall use, retain, disclose, or otherwise process Personal Data only on behalf of Publisher and for the specific business purpose of providing the Services and in accordance with Publisher’s instructions, including as described in the Agreement. PubMatic shall not Sell or Share Personal Data, as “Sell” and “Share” are defined in the CCPA and other applicable Data Protection and Privacy Requirements, nor use, retain, disclose, or otherwise process Personal Data outside of its business relationship with Publisher or for any other purpose except as required by law. PubMatic will inform Publisher in the time period required by applicable Data Protection Law if PubMatic determines that it is no longer able to meet its obligations under Data Protection and Privacy Requirements or where, in PubMatic’s reasonable opinion, any of Publisher’s instructions infringes any Data Protection and Privacy Requirements. Publisher reserves the right to take reasonable and appropriate steps to discontinue and remediate unauthorized use of Personal Data.
- PubMatic shall have rights to use Personal Data solely (i) to the extent necessary to (a) perform its obligations under this Agreement; (b) operate, manage, test, maintain and enhance the Services including as part of its business operations; (c) to disclose aggregate statistics about the Services in a manner that prevents individual identification or re-identification of Publisher, Publisher Data, or Personal Data, including without limitation any individual device, or individual person; and/or (d) protect the Services from a threat to the Services or Personal Data; (ii) if required by order of a court or authorized governmental agency, provided that prior notice first be given to Publisher, or (iii) as otherwise expressly authorized by Publisher.

- Third Parties. To the extent PubMatic processes the Personal Data of California residents as a “Third Party,” as “Third Party” is defined under the CCPA, § 1798.100 et. seq., this Section 2.1.2, will apply instead of Section 2.1.1 for such processing conducted as a Third Party: PubMatic may process Personal Data only for the limited and specified purposes described in the Agreement and related Schedules, Service Orders, and/or Statements of Work.

Publisher shall forward consumer requests to PubMatic via the instructions provided on https://pubmatic.com/legal/dsr-notice. PubMatic will inform Publisher in the time period required by applicable Data Protection Law if PubMatic determines that it is no longer able to meet its obligations under Data Protection and Privacy Requirements or where, in PubMatic’s reasonable opinion, any of Publisher’s instructions infringes any Data Protection and Privacy Requirements. Publisher reserves the right to take reasonable and appropriate steps to discontinue and remediate unauthorized use of Personal Data.
- Deidentification. Where PubMatic is permitted by applicable Data Protection and Privacy Requirements or this Section 2.1 to use Publisher Personal Data for its internal business purposes in an aggregated and deidentified manner, PubMatic agrees to take reasonable measures designed to ensure that the Personal Data cannot be associated with an individual (or, household, where applicable), publicly commits to maintain and use the information in de-identified form only and make no attempt to re-identify the information except where necessary to test its de-identification processes, and contractually obligates any authorized recipients to comply with these obligations.
- Certification. PubMatic certifies that it understands these obligations and restrictions and will comply with them.
- DOJ Bulk Sensitive Data Rules. This Section 2.1.5 applies solely in instances where PubMatic provides Publisher with access to personal data (such as when PubMatic facilitates access for the Publisher’s generation of its Licensed Content). Solely for purposes of this Section 2.1.5, the terms “access,” “country of concern,” and “covered person” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in 28 CFR Part 202 Provisions Pertaining to Preventing Access to U.S. Sensitive Personal Data and Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern or Covered Persons (“DOJ Bulk Sensitive Data Rules”).
- Publisher represents and warrants that it is not a covered person or country of concern. Publisher will immediately notify PubMatic if it foresees a change that would cause it to become such a covered person or country of concern.
- Without limitation to Publisher’s other obligations under the Agreement, when accessing personal data through PubMatic (including via pixel placement), Publisher shall not: (x) transfer any such personal data to, or otherwise enable access to such personal data by (1) a covered person or country of concern or (2) absent equivalent protections to this Section 2.1.5, any subcontractor, affiliate, or third party; or (y) engage in any activity or conduct that would result in a violation of the DOJ Bulk Sensitive Data Rules by Publisher or PubMatic. Publisher shall promptly report to PubMatic any known or suspected violations of this Section 2.1.5.
- PubMatic may immediately suspend Publisher’s access to any personal data or any portion thereof and terminate the Agreement (x) upon receipt of Publisher’s notice or report, or (y) if PubMatic believes that Publisher has failed to comply with this Section and/or is using the personal data in a manner that violates any applicable laws or regulation, or that would otherwise damage PubMatic’s customers, partners, business, or reputation.

- Publisher indemnification Publisher agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold PubMatic and its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, affiliates, and agents harmless from and against any liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any claim, demand, action, or proceeding initiated by a third party that is based upon, arises out of, or relates to the alleged or actual breach of any of Publisher’s representations and warranties set forth Publisher herein, and the use by PubMatic or the PubMatic Customers of the Audience Data as contemplated in this Agreement; provided, however, that PubMatic: (i) promptly notifies Publisher in writing of the claim, except that any failure to provide this notice promptly only relieves Publisher of its responsibility pursuant to this Section to the extent its defense is materially prejudiced by the delay; (ii) grants Publisher sole control of the defense and/or settlement of the claim; provided Publisher uses legal counsel reasonably acceptable to PubMatic; and (iii) provides Publisher, at Publisher’s expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and/or settlement of the claim.
