ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The version of the Data Processing Addendum at term start is locked in as the governing document for personal data processing, which determines the customer's data protection rights and Smartsheet's obligations for the entire term.

Interpretive note: The excerpt uses an ellipsis between 'Data Processing Addendum' and 'published', which may obscure a reference such as a URL or document identifier that could affect scope. Confidence is medium accordingly.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The customer's personal data rights during the term are defined by the Data Processing Addendum that was published when the term began, not any later-published version, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
