• This DPA applies only if and to the extent Applicable Data Protection Laws govern Vendor’s Processing of Customer Personal Data in performance of the Services as a ‘processor’, ‘service provider’ or similar role defined under Applicable Data Protection Laws. 

• Accordingly, this DPA does not apply to Vendor’s Processing of any Personal Data for its own business/customer relationship administration purposes, its own marketing or service analytics (e.g., involving data collected by Vendor relating to Customer’s users’ use of the Services), its own information and systems security purposes supporting the operation of the Services, nor its own legal, regulatory or compliance purposes

      ‍
6. DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS
   ‍
   
   1. Vendor, taking into account the nature of the Processing of Customer Personal Data, shall provide Customer with such assistance as may be reasonably necessary and technically feasible to assist Customer in fulfilling its obligations to respond to Data Subject Requests. If Vendor receives a Data Subject Request, Customer will be responsible for responding to any such request.
      ‍

      ‍
7. PERSONAL DATA BREACH
   ‍
   
   1. Vendor shall notify Customer without undue delay upon Vendor’s confirmation of a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data. Vendor shall provide Customer with 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.

      ‍
8. SUB-PROCESSING
   ‍
   
   1. Customer generally authorises Vendor to appoint Sub-Processors in accordance with this Section 8. Information about Vendor’s Sub-Processors, including their functions and locations is as shown in Annex 5 (Authorised Sub-Processors). Without limitation, Customer authorises Vendor engagement of the Sub-Processors listed on the Sub-Processor List as of the Addendum Effective Date.
      ‍
   2. Vendor shall give Customer prior written notice of the appointment of any proposed Sub-Processor, including reasonable details of the Processing to be undertaken by the Sub-Processor by updating the Sub-Processor List and providing a means by which Customer may subscribe to receive notice of such updates (or otherwise providing written notice to Customer) – Customer agrees that Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that it subscribes to such updates, and it shall do so. 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: (a) Vendor shall use reasonable efforts to make available a commercially reasonable change in the provision of the Services, which avoids the use of that proposed Sub-Processor; and (b) 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 Customer may terminate the Agreement by written notice to Vendor as its sole and exclusive remedy.

      ‍
   4. With respect to each Sub-Processor, Vendor shall maintain a written contract between Vendor and the Sub-Processor that includes terms which offer at least an equivalent level of protection for Customer Personal Data as those set out in this DPA (including the Security Measures). Vendor shall remain liable for any breach of this DPA caused by a Sub-Processor.

   ‍

      ‍
   2. Subject to Sections 9.3 to 9.6, in the event that Customer (acting reasonably) is able to provide documentary evidence that the information made available by Vendor pursuant to Section 9.1 is not sufficient in the circumstances to demonstrate Vendor’s compliance with this DPA, Vendor shall allow for and contribute to audits, including on-premise inspections, by Customer or an auditor mandated by Customer in relation to the Processing of Customer Personal Data by Vendor.
      ‍
   3. Customer shall give Vendor reasonable notice of any audit or inspection to be conducted under Section 9.2 (which shall in no event be less than fourteen (14) days’ notice) and shall use its best efforts (and ensure that each of its mandated auditors uses its best efforts) to avoid causing any destruction, damage, injury or disruption to Vendor’s premises, equipment, Personnel, data, and business (including any interference with the confidentiality or security of the data of Vendor’s other customers or the availability of Vendor’s services to such other customers).
      ‍
   4. Prior to conducting any audit, Customer must submit a detailed proposed audit plan providing for the confidential treatment of all information exchanged in connection with the audit and any reports regarding the results or findings thereof. The proposed audit plan must describe the proposed scope, duration, and start date of the audit. Vendor will review the proposed audit plan and provide Customer with any feedback, concerns or questions (for example, any request for information that could compromise Vendor security, privacy, employment or other relevant policies). Vendor will work cooperatively with Customer to agree on a final audit plan.  
      ‍
   5. If the controls or measures to be assessed in the requested audit are assessed in a SOC 2 Type 2, ISO, NIST or similar audit report performed by a qualified third-party auditor within twelve (12) months of Customer’s audit request (“Audit Report”) and Vendor has confirmed in writing that there have been no known material changes in the controls audited and covered by such Audit Report(s), Customer agrees to accept provision of such Audit Report(s) in lieu of requesting an audit of such controls or measures. Vendor shall provide copies of any such Audit Reports to Customer upon request; provided that they shall constitute the confidential information of Vendor, which Customer shall use only for the purposes of confirming compliance with the requirements of this DPA or meeting Customer’s obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws. 
      ‍
   6. Vendor need not give access to its premises for the purposes of such an audit or inspection: (a)where an Audit Report is accepted in lieu of such controls or measures in accordance with Section 9.5; (b) to any individual unless they produce reasonable evidence of their identity; (c) to any auditor whom Vendor has not approved in advance (acting reasonably); (d) to any individual who has not entered into a non-disclosure agreement with Vendor on terms acceptable to Vendor; (e) outside normal business hours at those premises; or (f) on more than one occasion in any calendar year during the term of the Agreement, except for any audits or inspections which Customer is required to carry out under the GDPR or by a Supervisory Authority. 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. Nothing in this Section 9 shall be construed to obligate Vendor to breach any duty of confidentiality.
      ‍

    ‍
    
    1. Upon expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement, Vendor shall return and/or delete all Customer Personal Data in Vendor’s care, custody or control in accordance with Customer’s instructions as to the post-termination return and deletion of Customer Personal Data expressed in the Agreement. To the extent that deletion of any Customer Personal Data contained in any back-ups’ maintained by or on behalf of Vendor is not technically feasible within the timeframe set out in Customer’s instructions, Vendor shall (a) securely delete such Customer Personal Data in accordance with any relevant scheduled back-up deletion routines (e.g., those contained within Vendor’s relevant business continuity and disaster recovery procedures); and (b) pending such deletion, put such Customer Personal Data beyond use.
       ‍
    2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vendor may retain Customer Personal Data where required by applicable laws, provided that Vendor shall (a) maintain the confidentiality of all such Customer Personal Data and (b) Process the Customer Personal Data only as necessary for the purpose(s) and duration specified in the applicable law requiring such retention. 
       ‍
11. CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
    ‍
