  2. Instructions.

Partner shall provide such assistance promptly, and in any event within five (5) days of the Data Subject Request or Customer’s request for assistance. In appropriate cases, and upon Customer’s reasonable request, Partner shall assist Customer to inform individuals about the Processing of Personal Information, including by providing or directing applicable Data Subjects to a privacy policy or notice that complies with Data Protection Laws.

Partner agrees to consult with Customer before making any public statements or notification to a data protection authority or Data Subject in relation to a Security Incident. Partner shall be responsible for, and shall pay to Customer on demand, all costs, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by Customer arising out of or in connection with a Security Incident impacting Personal Information Processed by Partner, its affiliates, assignees, or Sub-Processors.
  10. Sub-Processing. Partner may engage or otherwise permit a Sub-Processor to Process Personal Information on its behalf, provided that Partner:

If Customer does not object within this period, Partner may permit the Sub-Processor to Process Personal Information. If Customer objects to the use of a Sub-Processor, then Partner will promptly address Customer’s objections within ten (10) days of receipt. If Partner cannot resolve Customer’s objection to Customer’s satisfaction within this ten (10) day period, then Customer will have the option to immediately terminate the Agreement without penalty at any time upon providing written notice to Partner. Partner will not allow the new Sub-Processor to Process Personal Information during: (i) the thirty (30) days after providing notification of its intent to use a new Sub-Processor; or (ii) any period where Customer’s objection to use of a Sub-Processor has not been resolved to Customer’s satisfaction; and
    4. remains fully liable for all Processing of Personal Information performed by each Sub-Processor.
  11. Disposal or return. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement or as otherwise instructed by Customer, Partner shall in accordance with Customer’s instructions: (i) return to Customer a complete copy of the Personal Information it Processed in connection with the Agreement, in a form and format reasonably agreed upon by the parties; and (ii) securely dispose of the Personal Information (including all copies) in its possession or control that it Processed in connection with the Agreement.

    Supplementary measures
    1. The parties acknowledge and agree the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-311/18 clarifies that supplementary measures may be necessary to ensure that Personal Information, which has been subject to an EEA Transfer or UK Transfer, is afforded an essentially equivalent level of protection to the protections it receives when Processed in its territory of origin (in addition to safeguards contained in the EEA Standard Contractual Clauses). Accordingly, the parties have agreed the measures set out in the following Sections 6.4(b) to (g) as supplementary measures to help ensure such essential equivalence.
    2. If Partner becomes aware of a request or demand from a law enforcement, regulatory, judicial or governmental authority (an “Authority”) to obtain access to or a copy of some or all Personal Information Processed in connection with the Agreement, whether on a voluntary or mandatory basis Partner shall:
      1. immediately notify Customer of such Authority’s request;
      2. where Section 4 (Terms for Processors) applies, inform the Authority that Partner is a Processor of Personal Information and that Customer has not authorised it to disclose such Personal Information to the Authority;
      3. inform the Authority that any and all requests or demands for access to such Personal Information should be notified to or served upon Customer (as the Controller) in writing; and
      4. subject to Section 6.4(c), not provide the Authority with access to such Personal Information unless and until authorised in writing by Customer.
    3. Notwithstanding Section 6.4(b)(iv), Partner may, without Customer’s prior written authorisation, disclose to an Authority Personal Information following receipt of a request or demand from such Authority, provided that (unless prohibited by law):
      1. Partner has given Customer reasonable prior notice of such request or demand to give Customer a reasonable opportunity to object or to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy;
      2. Partner reasonably cooperates with Customer, at Customer’s cost and expense, so that Customer may object to or seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy; and
      3. Partner in any event discloses only that portion of Personal Information that it is legally required to disclose.
    4. If Partner makes a disclosure of Personal Information to an Authority, Partner shall only disclose such Personal Information to the extent Partner is legally required to do so and only in accordance with applicable lawful process.
    5. Partner shall not knowingly disclose Personal Information in a bulk or indiscriminate manner that goes beyond what is necessary and proportionate in a democratic society.
    6. Partner shall have in place, maintain, and comply with a written policy governing requests for Personal Information from Authorities which at minimum prohibits:
      1. bulk or indiscriminate disclosure of Personal Information relating to Data Subjects in Europe; and
      2. disclosure of Personal Information relating to Data Subjects in Europe to an Authority without a subpoena, warrant, writ, decree, summons or other legally binding order that compels disclosure of such Personal Information.
    7. Partner shall have in place and maintain, in accordance with good industry practice, measures to protect Personal Information from interception (including in transit from Customer to Partner and between different systems and services). This includes having in place and maintaining network protection to deny attackers the ability to intercept data and encryption of data whilst in transit to deny attackers the ability to read data.
      Additional data transfer provisions
    8. Partner agrees to cooperate in good faith to execute additional documents and apply additional protections, or to restrict Processing to certain territories, as Customer may deem necessary to conduct EEA Transfers, UK Transfers or Other Transfers (as applicable).
    9. If Partner will at any time Process Personal Information originating in any country which restricts the transfer of the Personal Information to another jurisdiction not deemed adequate to receive such Personal Information, then Partner will, on Customer’s instructions:
      1. take all necessary actions and execute such agreements as may be necessary under applicable Data Protection Law in such country to legitimize any Processing; and
      2. ensure an adequate level of protection for Customer’s Personal Information.
    10. In the event that any competent data protection authority holds that a data transfer mechanism relied on by the parties is invalid, or any competent data protection authority or applicable law requires transfers of Personal Information to be suspended or restricted to a specific jurisdiction, then Customer may, at its discretion, require Partner to cease Processing Personal Information and Partner will co-operate with Customer in good faith to facilitate use of an alternative data transfer mechanism, execute additional documents, apply additional protections, or restrict Processing to certain jurisdictions.
7. INDEMNITY
  1. This section applies to all Partners.
  2. In addition to any indemnity obligations of Partner set out in the Agreement, Partner shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Customer against any and all third party claims, actions, costs, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by Customer which arise out of or in connection with: (i) a Security Incident; or (ii) a violation of this Addendum by Partner or Partner’s affiliates, Sub-Processors (including Sub-Processors appointed by Partner’s affiliates) and assignees, including without limitation a claim or action by a data protection authority or Data Subject.
