ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause places the burden of disproving responsibility on Fastly when an agent mishandles data, meaning affected individuals retain a claim against Fastly rather than being left to pursue only the agent.

Interpretive note: The excerpt is truncated after 'not responsible'; any further conditions or carve-outs following that phrase are not available for analysis.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If a Fastly agent processes your personal data in a way that is inconsistent with the Frameworks' principles, Fastly remains liable to you unless Fastly proves it is not responsible.
