Material changes · review before Tuesday partner meeting
DPA · DataStack Inc. /data-processing-addendum · Active diligence — Acme acquisition (~6 weeks to sign)
- "Data processor will not engage sub-processors without prior written consent of the controller." + "Data processor may engage sub-processors listed at datastack.com/subprocessors with 10 business days' advance notice. Objection window: 30 days." flagged: sub-processor, consent, DPA impact: unilateral sub-processor rights added. This modifies the rep/warranty schedule negotiated Feb 14. Re-run the DPA red-line before signing — the objection window is shorter than the deal timeline. audit record: driftpatrol.app/app/diffs/[id]
TOS · Acme Holdings /terms-of-service · Target company
+ §14 added: binding arbitration, AAA commercial rules, Delaware seat, 30-day opt-out from account creation. + §14(c) added: class-action waiver, survives opt-out. flagged: arbitration, class waiver, jurisdiction impact: class claims from post-03/02 signups likely foreclosed. Materially changes the litigation-exposure line in your diligence memo dated Feb 24. Revise before presenting to IC — buyer's counsel will find this. audit record: driftpatrol.app/app/diffs/[id]
Regulatory · SEC.gov /rules/final/33-11275 · Cyber disclosure guidance
+ Enforcement-Division guidance: the 4-business-day 8-K window runs from the day the company determines materiality, NOT from incident discovery. flagged: cyber, disclosure, material, SEC impact: materiality-determination committee process is now the key internal control for all SEC-registered portfolio companies. Flag for board-level updates at next meeting. audit record: driftpatrol.app/app/diffs/[id]
Pricing · Harrington & Cole /pricing · Competitor firm
+ New "Transaction Monitoring" flat-fee tier: $3,200/mo. flagged: pricing, competitor impact: direct overlap with your transaction-monitoring offering at $4,500/mo. Expect client comparisons within days. Prepare positioning before your next pitch. audit record: driftpatrol.app/app/diffs/[id]
Other changes · non-material, logged for audit
Sub-processor list · DataStack Inc. /subprocessors
+ Added: Snowflake Inc. (data warehousing, US) flagged: sub-processor impact: non-material standing alone; note alongside the DPA change above — DataStack is actively expanding its processor stack ahead of the deal close.
Privacy Policy · Target portfolio company /privacy
- "We retain personal data for up to 24 months after account closure." + "We retain personal data for up to 36 months after account closure, or as required by applicable law." flagged: retention, personal data impact: retention extension is non-material for current deal but extends data-liability tail. Log for integration planning.
AUP · SaaS vendor — Notion /acceptable-use
+ Added: prohibition on using platform to generate legal documents for third-party commercial use without written consent. impact: review whether any portfolio company legal team uses Notion for client-facing template generation.
Terms · Salesforce /legal/sfdc-terms-of-service
+ §8 updated: AI features now covered under separate "Generative AI Addendum" — users must accept to continue using Einstein features. impact: if any portfolio company uses Einstein, confirm addendum acceptance to maintain service continuity.
Regulator · Delaware Court of Chancery /rules · Rule 5.1 amendment
+ Electronic filing now required for all discovery motions over 50 pages effective June 1, 2026. impact: procedural only. Update e-filing workflow for active Chancery matters before June 1.
