ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The liability cap for Data Protection Claims limits the maximum financial recovery available to either party, regardless of the severity of a data protection breach, to twice the prior year's fees paid to Snowflake.

Interpretive note: The definition of 'Data Protection Claims' is not present in the excerpt; the claim is limited to the liability cap as stated.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you have a Data Protection Claim, the maximum total amount you can recover from Snowflake and its affiliates is two times the fees paid or payable to Snowflake in the prior 12 months.
