At any time during the term of this DPA at the Data Controller’s request or upon the termination or expiration

of the Service Agreement, the Data Processor shall promptly return to the Data Controller all copies, whether

in written, electronic or other form or media, of the Personal Data in its possession, or securely dispose of all

such copies, and certify in writing to the Data Controller that such Personal Data has been returned or

disposed of securely within 7 days of the request. The Data Processor shall comply with all directions

provided by the Data Controller with respect to the return or disposal of the Personal Data. The Data

Processor shall notify all third parties supporting its own processing of the Personal Data of the termination

of the DPA and shall ensure that all such third parties shall either destroy the Personal Data or return the

Personal Data to the Data Controller, at the discretion of the Data Controller. This DPA shall remain in force

until the termination of the Personal Data processing and the erasure of the data by the Data Processor and

any sub-processors.

  1. Confidentiality and Technical and Organizational Measures

Without prejudice to any existing contractual arrangements between the Parties, the Data Processor shall treat

all Personal Data as confidential and it shall inform all its employees, agents and/or approved sub-processors

engaged in processing the Personal Data of the confidential nature of the Personal Data. The Data Processor

shall ensure that all such persons or parties have signed an appropriate confidentiality agreement, are

otherwise bound to a duty of confidentiality, or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of

confidentiality. This confidentiality obligation shall survive the termination of the DPA.

Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and

purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of

natural persons, the Data Processor shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to

ensure a level of security of the processing of the Personal Data appropriate to the risk. Measures shall

include, as appropriate, measures for protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing, against

accidental, unauthorized or unlawful loss, access to, use, alteration, correction, disclosure, or destruction of

the Personal Data, and measures to ensure confidentiality and integrity of the Personal Data.

The Data Processor shall regularly monitor its compliance with the respective technical and organizational

measures, the Data Protection Laws, and accepted industry standards or practices, and will verify this

monitoring upon the Data Controller’s request. The Data Processor shall not materially decrease the overall

security measures during the term of the Service Agreement.

  1. Information and Audit

The Data Processor shall make available to the Data Controller on request all information necessary to

demonstrate compliance with this DPA and the Data Protection Laws, and shall allow for audits, at Data

Controller’s sole expense, including on-site inspections, by the Data Controller or an auditor mandated by

the Data Controller in relation to the Processing of the Personal Data. Data Controller agrees that if it

exercises this right, then it will provide Data Processor no less than sixty (60) days advance written notice.

Upon the Data Controller’s written request, the Data Processor shall make available to the Data Controller

details of technical and organizational measures implemented, all sub-processors engaged, and a copy of the

Data Processor’s then most recent third-party audits or certifications, as applicable.

DPA_ Controller-to-Processor _v2

To the extent applicable and required, the Data Processor will, at Data Controller’s expense and taking into

account the nature of the Processing and the information available, provide the Data Controller with

cooperation and assistance in relation to any data protection impact assessment or regulatory consultation

that the Data Controller is legally required to make.

  1. Sub-processors

The Data Processor shall not subcontract any of its Service-related activities consisting (partly) of the

processing of the Personal Data or requiring Personal Data to be processed by any third party without the

prior written authorization of the Data Controller. The Data Controller’s consent to the engagement of

specific sub-processors, if applicable, shall be specified in Schedule 1 and Exhibit 1.

The Data Processor shall enter into a written agreement with each sub-processor on terms which offer at least

the same level of protection for the Data Controller’s Personal Data as those set out in this DPA prior to the

sub-processor’s processing any Personal Data, and ensure that the relevant obligations (including but not

limited to the information and audit rights) can be directly enforced by the Data Controller against the Data

Processor’s sub-processors.

The Data Processor remains responsible for its sub-processors and fully liable for their acts and omissions as

for its own acts and omissions and any references to the Data Processor’s obligations, acts and omissions in

this DPA shall be construed as referring also to the Data Processor’s sub-processors.

The Data Processor shall inform the Data Controller of any new sub-processors the Data Processor intends

to engage to process the Personal Data. The Data Controller may object to the engagement of any new subprocessor but shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such appointment.

The Data Processor shall ensure that the sub-processor is bound by data protection obligations compatible

with those of the Data Processor under this DPA, shall supervise compliance thereof, and must in particular

impose on its sub-processors the obligation to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures

in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of Data Protection Laws.

  1. Data Subject Rights

The Data Processor shall assist the Data Controller by implementing appropriate technical and organizational

measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of the Data Controller’ obligations, as reasonably

understood by the Data Controller, to respond to requests to exercise data subject rights under the Data

Protection Laws.

The Data Processor shall promptly notify the Data Controller of any data subjects’ requests or complaints

regarding Personal Data within three days from the date it receives such requests or complaints. The Data

Processor shall not respond to such requests or complaints except on the documented instructions of the Data

Controller or as required by applicable laws to which the Data Processor is subject, in which case the Data

Processor shall inform the Data Controller of that legal requirement before responding to the request. The

Data Processor shall upon the Data Controller’s request provide reasonable efforts to assist the Data

Controller in responding to such data subject’s request or complaint.

If a data subject or a supervisory authority brings a claim against the Data Controller for damages suffered

in relation to the Data Processor’s breach of this DPA or Data Protection Laws, the Data Processor shall

indemnify the Data Controller and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and

DPA_ Controller-to-Processor _v2

subcontractors, from and against all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, actions, judgments, interest,

awards, penalties, fines, costs or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, the cost of

enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers, arising

out of or resulting from any third party claims against the Data Controller, its affiliates and their respective

directors, officers, employees, agents and subcontractors arising out of or resulting from the Data Processor’s

failure to comply with any of its obligations under this DPA and/or the Data Protection Laws.

  1. Incidents

When the Data Processor becomes aware of an incident that has a material impact on the Processing of the

Personal Data that is the subject of the Service Agreement, it shall promptly notify the Data Controller about

the incident, shall at all times cooperate with the Data Controller, and shall follow the Data Controller’s

instructions with regard to such incidents, in order to enable the Data Controller to perform a thorough

investigation into the incident, to formulate a correct response, and to take suitable further steps in respect of

the incident.

The term “incident” used in Article 7.1 shall be understood to mean in any case:

a complaint or a request with respect to the exercise of a data subject’s rights under the Data

Protection Laws.

an investigation into or seizure of the Personal Data by government officials, or a specific indication

that such an investigation or seizure is imminent.

any accidental, unauthorized or unlawful loss, access to, use, alteration, disclosure, destruction, or

any form of unlawful processing of the Personal Data.

any breach of the security and/or confidentiality as set out in Article 3 of this DPA leading to the

accidental, unauthorized or unlawful loss, access to, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of the

Personal Data, or any indication of such breach having taken place or being about to take place.

where, in the opinion of the Data Processor, implementing an instruction received from the Data

Controller would violate applicable laws to which the Data Controller or the Data Processor are

subject.

The Data Processor shall at all times have in place written procedures which enable it to promptly respond

to the Data Controller about an incident. Where the incident may require a data breach notification by the

Data Controller under the Data Protection Laws, the Data Processor shall implement its written procedures

in such a way that it is in a position to notify the Data Controller without undue delay after the Data Processor

becomes aware of such an incident, and in no event later than 48 hours, after becoming aware of an incident.

Such notification shall as a minimum:

(a) describe the nature of the incident, the categories and numbers of data subjects and Personal Data

records concerned;

(b) communicate the name and contact details of the Data Processor’s data protection officer or other

relevant contact from whom more information may be obtained;

(c) describe the likely consequences of the incident;

(d) describe the measures taken or proposed to be taken to address the incident including, where

appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects; and

(e) other details as may be required by the Data Protection Laws or the supervisory authorities.

DPA_ Controller-to-Processor _v2

The Data Processor will not disclose to any third party of any incident without obtaining the Data Controller’s

prior written approval, except as required by applicable laws to which the Data Processor is subject, in which

case the Data Processor shall inform the Data Controller of that legal requirement before the disclosure.

  1. Representations and Warranties

The Data Processor represents and warrants that:

(a) it and anyone operating on its behalf shall only process Personal Data pursuant to the lawful instruction

given by the Data Controller;

(b) it provides and, at all times, maintains appropriate security measures for preventing accidental,

unauthorized or unlawful loss, access to, use, alteration, correction, disclosure, or destruction of

Personal Data;

(c) it complies with the DPA and the applicable Data Protection Laws; and

(d) its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, sub-processors, subcontractors, and/or any other

persons who need to access the Personal Data on its behalf for performing its obligations under the

Service Agreement are reliable and trustworthy and have received the required training on the Data

Protection Laws.

  1. Indemnification

The Data Processor shall indemnify the Data Controller from and against all damages, including reasonable attorneys’

fees, arising out of or resulting from any third party claims against the Data Controller arising out of or resulting from

Data Processor’s willful failure to comply with any of its obligations under this DPA.

  1. Severance

Should any provision of this DPA be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this DPA shall remain valid and

in force. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be either (i) amended as necessary to ensure its validity and

enforceability while preserving the parties’ intentions as closely as possible or, if this is not possible, (ii) construed in

a manner as if the invalid or unenforceable part had never been contained therein.

  1. Amendment and Waiver

No provision of this DPA may be amended, waived or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing duly

executed by authorized representatives of the Parties. The failure or delay of a Party in exercising any rights under

this DPA on any occasions shall not be considered a waiver by or deprive the Party of the right thereafter to exercise

such right or any other right under this DPA.
