ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause establishes a hierarchy of governing documents for data processing obligations, ensuring that data protection requirements are specified in the Data Processing Addendum rather than the general terms. The conflict resolution mechanism prioritizes the Data Processing Addendum, which typically contains detailed processor obligations, data subject rights, and compliance requirements.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users' data processing terms are governed by multiple incorporated documents with the Data Processing Addendum controlling in case of conflict. This means specific data handling obligations, permitted uses, and data subject protections are defined in the referenced Data Processing Addendum rather than solely within the main Terms of Service.
