2. ROLES OF THE PARTIES
2.1 Both parties will comply with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. The parties acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, Customer is the Controller and Vendor is the Processor of the Customer Personal Data.

3.1 Vendor shall process Personal Data on behalf of Customer to perform its obligations under the Agreement for the term of the Agreement (“Customer Personal Data”) in accordance with this Addendum. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agreement and this Addendum constitute a documented instruction to process Customer Personal Data as necessary to perform the Services. A list of the categories of data subjects, types of Customer Personal Data and the processing activities are set out in Schedule 1.
3.2 Vendor shall process Customer Personal Data only on the documented instructions of Customer unless Vendor is required by applicable law to process such Customer Personal Data. Where Vendor is relying on applicable Law as the basis for processing Customer Personal Data, Vendor shall notify Customer of this before performing the processing required by the applicable law unless applicable law prohibits Vendor from so notifying Customer.
4. DATA PROCESSING OBLIGATIONS
4.1 Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 2.1, Vendor shall, in relation to any Customer Personal Data processed in connection with the performance by Vendor of its obligations under the Agreement: some text
- ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect against a Personal Data Breach and notify Customer without undue delay on becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach;
- ensure that all personnel who have access to and/or process Customer Personal Data are obliged to keep Customer Personal Data confidential;
- taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Vendor, provide reasonable assistance to Customer in responding to requests from a Data Subject and in ensuring compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation, only to the extent that the relevant information or means are not otherwise at the Customer's disposal;
- at the written direction of Customer, delete or return Customer Personal Data and copies thereof to Customer on termination of the Agreement unless required by applicable law to store Customer Personal Data; and
- respond to reasonable requests from Customer for information to demonstrate its compliance with this Addendum. Should Customer provide well-founded indications that such information does not reasonably demonstrate compliance with this Addendum or an audit is requested by a Supervisory Authority, Vendor shall allow Customer to audit, by itself or using an independent third-party auditor (acceptable to Vendor and subject to a non-disclosure agreement), Vendor’s compliance. Such audits may be performed at most once annually. Customer shall give Vendor no less than thirty (30) days’ written notice of any audit. Customer and Vendor shall cooperate in good faith to agree a plan covering the scope, duration, and activities of the audit, including necessary precautions to maintain the confidentiality of Vendor data that is outside the scope of the audit. The records and results of such Audit shall be deemed Vendor’s confidential information. Customer shall bear all its own costs and expenses of audit.
5. APPOINTMENT OF SUBPROCESSORS
5.1 Customer authorises Vendor to appoint (and permit each Subprocessor appointed in accordance with this Clause 5 to appoint) Subprocessors in accordance with this Clause 5 and any restrictions in the Agreement.
5.2 Vendor shall inform Customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of Subprocessors, thereby giving Customer the opportunity to object to such changes on reasonable grounds. Customer shall notify Vendor in writing of any objections within fourteen (14) days of notice.
5.3 With respect to each Subprocessor, Vendor shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that the arrangement between on the one hand (a) Vendor, or (b) the relevant intermediate Subprocessor; and on the other hand the Subprocessor, is governed by a written contract including terms which offer at least the same level of protection for Customer Personal Data as those set out in this Addendum;
5.4 As between Customer and Vendor, Vendor shall remain fully liable for the performance of the Subprocessor’s obligations.
6.RESTRICTED TRANSFERS
6.1 To the extent that Vendor processes Customer Personal Data to which the GDPR and/or the UK GDPR applies in a territory outside of the European Economic Area and/or the United Kingdom that does not provide adequate protection for Personal Data (as determined by applicable Data Protection Legislation), Vendor and Customer hereby enter into the Standard Contractual Clauses (which are incorporated by reference in, and form an integral part of, this Addendum) in respect of any transfer of Customer Personal Data from Customer to Vendor where such transfer would be prohibited by Data Protection Legislation (or by the terms of data transfer agreements put in place to address the data transfer restrictions of Data Protection Legislation) in the absence of the Standard Contractual Clauses.
6.2 The Standard Contractual Clauses shall not apply to a Restricted Transfer unless its effect, together with all compliance steps required under Data Protection Legislation (which, for the avoidance of doubt, do not include obtaining consents from individuals), is to allow the Restricted Transfer to take place without breach of applicable Data Protection Legislation. The Standard Contractual Clauses shall come into effect on the commencement of a Restricted Transfer as described in this Clause 6.
6.3 In the event that Vendor self-certifies under an any applicable adequacy decision or adequacy framework by a Supervisory Authority, Vendor shall notify Customer promptly of such self-certification and the parties agree and acknowledge that any Restricted Transfer will be subject to such decision or framework instead of the Standard Contractual Clauses. Vendor shall at all times during the term of the Agreement maintain compliance with any applicable rules of the decision or framework and provide Customer with evidence of its compliance upon request.
7. GENERAL TERMS
7.1 Termination and Survival. The parties agree that this Addendum shall terminate automatically upon termination of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any obligation imposed on Vendor under this Addendum in relation to the processing of Customer Personal Data shall survive any termination or expiration of this Addendum.
7.2 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Addendum shall be governed by the governing law of the Agreement. The parties to this Addendum hereby submit to the choice of jurisdiction stipulated in the Agreement.
7.3 Severance. Should any provision of this Addendum be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Addendum 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.
