Annex III — UK Addendum to the Data Processing Agreement

Annex III (EU)

UK Addendum to the Data Processing Agreement

For Processing involving United Kingdom personal data

Last update: 05/18/2026

This Annex III (EU) (the "UK Addendum") forms part of the Software as a Service Agreement (the "SSA") between Maestra B.V. ("Provider") and the Customer identified in the Engagement Letter. This UK Addendum applies whenever the Customer Processes Personal Data of data subjects in the United Kingdom through the Services, or whenever the UK GDPR otherwise applies to such Processing.

Capitalized terms not defined in this UK Addendum have the meanings given in the SSA and in the applicable Data Processing Agreement (Annex 1 (EU) for Customers established within the European Economic Area, or Annex 2 (EU) for Customers established outside the European Economic Area). Where terms used in this UK Addendum are defined in the UK GDPR or the United Kingdom Data Protection Act 2018, those terms shall have the same meaning as in that legislation.

1. Scope and Purpose

1.1. The purpose of this UK Addendum is to ensure that the Processing of Personal Data of data subjects in the United Kingdom through the Services complies with the UK GDPR, the United Kingdom Data Protection Act 2018, and any other applicable United Kingdom data protection legislation.

1.2. This UK Addendum applies in addition to, and modifies as set forth below, the Data Processing Agreement otherwise applicable to the Customer (Annex 1 (EU) or Annex 2 (EU), as applicable, together the "Underlying DPA").

2. Construction Rules

2.1. For the purposes of any Processing of Personal Data of data subjects in the United Kingdom under this UK Addendum and the Underlying DPA:

(a) references in the Underlying DPA to "the GDPR" or to "Regulation (EU) 2016/679" shall be read, in respect of Personal Data of data subjects in the United Kingdom, as references to the UK GDPR and the United Kingdom Data Protection Act 2018;

(b) references in the Underlying DPA to a "Member State" or to the "European Economic Area" shall be read, where the context relates to United Kingdom Personal Data, as references to the United Kingdom;

(c) references in the Underlying DPA to "Articles 13 and 14" or other Articles of the GDPR shall be read as references to the equivalent provisions of the UK GDPR;

(d) references in the Underlying DPA to a "supervisory authority" shall be read, in respect of Personal Data of data subjects in the United Kingdom, as references to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

2.2. Except as expressly modified by this UK Addendum, the Underlying DPA continues to apply in full.

3. International Transfers of United Kingdom Personal Data

3.1. Where the Processing of Personal Data of data subjects in the United Kingdom by Provider or by a sub-processor involves a transfer of Personal Data from the United Kingdom to a third country that does not benefit from an adequacy decision under Article 45 of the UK GDPR (or its UK equivalent regulations), the Parties incorporate by reference into this UK Addendum the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the United Kingdom Information Commissioner’s Office (Version B1.0, in force 21 March 2022, the "UK IDTA Addendum"). The authoritative text of the UK IDTA Addendum is available at:

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/international-transfers/international-data-transfer-agreement-and-guidance/

3.2. The UK IDTA Addendum operates as an addendum to the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCCs") referenced in the Underlying DPA, and the SCCs are deemed to apply (with the modifications set forth in the UK IDTA Addendum) to such transfers of United Kingdom Personal Data.
