- SECURITY
- Vendor shall implement and maintain technical and organizational measures in relation to Customer Personal Data designed to protect Customer Personal Data against Personal Data Breaches as described in Annex 3 (Security Measures) (the “Security Measures”).

- DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

For any assistance that does not concern Personal Data subject to the GDPR, Customer shall reimburse Vendor for such assistance, beyond providing self-service features included as part of the Service, at Vendor’s then-current professional service rates.

- PERSONAL DATA BREACH
Breach notification and assistance- Vendor shall notify Customer without undue delay upon Vendor’s confirmation of a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data. Vendor’s notification of or response to a Personal Data Breach shall not be construed as Vendor’s acknowledgement of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach.
- To the extent the Personal Data Breach resulted from Vendor’s breach of its security obligations under the Agreement, Vendor shall provide Customer with reasonably requested information (insofar as such information is within Vendor’s possession and knowledge and does not otherwise compromise the security of any Personal Data Processed by Vendor) to allow Customer to meet its obligations under the Applicable Data Protection Laws to report the Personal Data Breach. If the Personal Data Breach did not result from Vendor’s breach of its security obligations under the Agreement, Vendor shall reasonably cooperate with Customer, provided, however, Customer shall reimburse Vendor for any costs incurred by Vendor.

- that all Data Subjects have (i) been presented with all required notices and statements (including as required by Article 12-14 of the GDPR (where applicable)); and (ii) provided all required consents, in each case (i) and (ii) relating to the Processing by Vendor of Customer Personal Data.

If, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of that notice, Customer notifies Vendor in writing of any objections (on reasonable grounds) to the proposed appointment:

- where: (i) such a change cannot be made within fourteen (14) days from Vendor’s receipt of Customer’s notice; (ii) no commercially reasonable change is available; and/or (iii) Customer declines to bear the cost of the proposed change, then either Party may by written notice to the other Party with immediate effect terminate the Agreement, either in whole or to the extent that it relates to the Services which require the use of the proposed Sub-Processor, as its sole and exclusive remedy.

- DATA PROTECTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND PRIOR CONSULTATION
- Vendor, taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Vendor, shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer, at Customer’s cost, with any data protection impact assessments and prior consultations with Supervisory Authorities which Customer reasonably considers to be required of it by Article 35 or Article 36 of the GDPR, in each case solely in relation to Processing of Customer Personal Data by Vendor.

- Vendor may retain Customer Personal Data where permitted or required by applicable law, for such period as may be required by such applicable law, provided that Vendor shall:
- maintain the confidentiality of all such Customer Personal Data; and
- Process the Customer Personal Data only as necessary for the purpose(s) specified in the applicable law permitting or requiring such retention.
- Operational clarification: Certification of deletion of Customer Personal Data as described in Clauses 8.5 and 16(d) of the SCCs, shall be provided only upon Customer’s written request.

- Nothing in this DPA shall require Vendor to furnish more information about its Sub-Processors in connection with such audits than such Sub-Processors make generally available to their customers.
- Operational clarifications:
- Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, Customer shall be fully responsible for all time spent by Vendor (at Vendor’s then-current professional services rates) in Vendor’s provision of any cooperation and assistance provided to Customer under this Paragraph 5 (excluding any costs incurred in the procurement, preparation or delivery of Audit Reports to Customer pursuant to Paragraph 5.5 ), and shall on demand reimburse Vendor any such costs incurred by Vendor.
