1. Implementation of and compliance with a written information security program consistent with established industry standards and including administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the Customer Personal Data and designed to protect such information from: unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure; unauthorized access to or use that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to the data controller, the data controller's customers, or the data controller's employees; and any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information.
2. Adopting and implementing reasonable policies and standards related to security.
3. Assigning responsibility for information security management.
4. Devoting adequate personnel resources to information security.
5. Carrying out verification checks on permanent staff who will have access to the Customer Personal Data.

7. Conducting training to make employees and others with access to the Customer Personal Data aware of information security risks and to enhance compliance with Snap's policies and standards related to data protection.
8. Preventing unauthorized access to the Customer Personal Data through the use, as appropriate, of physical and logical (passwords) entry controls, secure areas for data processing, procedures for monitoring the use of data processing facilities, built-in system audit trails, use of secure passwords, network intrusion detection technology, encryption and authentication technology, secure log-on procedures, and virus protection, monitoring compliance with Snap's policies and standards related to data protection on an ongoing basis. In particular, Snap has implemented and complies with, as appropriate and without limitation:
Physical access control measures to prevent unauthorized access to data processing systems (e.g., access ID cards, card readers, desk officers, alarm systems, motion detectors, burglar alarms, video surveillance, and exterior security);
Denial-of-use control measures to prevent unauthorized use of data protection systems (e.g., automatically enforced password complexity and change requirements and firewalls.);
Requirements-driven authorization scheme and access rights, and monitoring and logging of system access to ensure that persons entitled to use a data processing system have access only to the data to which they have a right of access, and that the Customer Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified, or removed without authorization;
Data transmission control measures to ensure that the Customer Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified, or removed without authorization during electronic transmission, transport, or storage on data media, and transfer and receipt of records. In particular, Snap's information security program will be designed:
To encrypt in storage any data sets in Snap's possession, including sensitive personal data, using appropriate encryption levels based on industry-leading encryption standards, including AES -256, and storing user identities on the system using key value pair such as ghost_id to prevent storage of actual user ID; and
To ensure that any sensitive personal data transmitted electronically (other than by facsimile) to a person outside Snap's IT system or transmitted over a public network is encrypted using the newest supported versions of TLS 1.2 protocol to protect the security of the transmission;
Data entry control measures to ensure Snap can check and establish whether and by whom the Customer Personal Data has been input into data processing systems, modified, or removed;
Continuous security testing measures to ensure information security practices remain relevant, effective, and up to date, including annual penetration testings, bug bounty program, use of system scanning tools, tabletop exercises, backup restoration tests, pre-production failovers, and conducting post-mortems on any actual incidents in order to update the relevant disaster recovery plans;
Subprocessor supervision measures to ensure that, if Snap is permitted to use subprocessors, the Customer Personal Data is processed strictly in accordance with the data controller's instructions including, as appropriate:
Measures to ensure that the Customer Personal Data is protected from accidental destruction or loss including, as appropriate and without limitation, data backup, retention and secure destruction policies; secure offsite storage of data sufficient for disaster recovery; uninterrupted power supply, and disaster recovery programs; and
Measures to ensure that data collected for different purposes can be processed separately including, as appropriate, physical or adequate logical separation of Customer Personal Data.
9. Taking such other steps as may be appropriate under the circumstances.
