EVA Data Processing Addendum
I. Introduction
The parties agree that this Data Processing Addendum (the "DPA") describes the parties' obligations with respect to the processing and security of Developer Data (including the Personal Information referred to therein). The parties also agree that the processing and security of data in EVA products and feature services are governed by the DPA, unless a separate, specific agreement exists.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the DPA and any other data terms set out in applicable agreements relating to the EVA official website and services (the "EVA Agreements") the terms of the DPA shall prevail.

The DPA may be amended by us from time to time and these amendments shall form a part of and have the same effect as the DPA. When updated, we will publish the updated version on our official website and remind you of the updated content by making a post on the official website or through other appropriate means before the updated terms come into effect, so that you can be constantly informed of the latest version of the DPA. If you continue to use the official website and related services, it is deemed that you agree to accept all contents of the revised DPA.
