Party in connection with data Processing activities are set forth in Sections 3 and 4 below.
(a) Obligations of the Controller. The Parties acknowledge that for the purposes of Data Protection Laws, Customer
acts as a Data Controller (“Controller”) under the Agreement. The Controller shall provide the Personal Data to the
Processor together with such other information as the Processor may reasonably require in order for the Processor to
provide the Services to the Controller.
(b) Obligations of the Processor. Service Provider performs as a Data Processor (“Processor”) in respect of the
Personal Data Processed under the Agreement on behalf of the Controller or a member of the Controller's Affiliate.
All right, title and interest in the Personal Data shall vest solely in the Controller and the Processor shall not acquire
any rights in the Personal Data, except as may be set out in this DPA and the Agreement.
(i) Instructions. The Processor shall only, and shall procure that its Personnel only, Process the Personal Data
to the extent necessary to perform its obligations in accordance with this DPA, the Agreement, and any other
written instructions of the Controller unless required to do so by Union or Member State law to which the
Processor is subject and, in such a case, the Processor shall inform the Controller of that legal requirement
before Processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest.
(ii) Confidentiality. Processor will ensure that its Personnel who Process Personal Data under this DPA and the
Agreement are subject to obligations of confidentiality in relation to such Personal Data. Processor shall
ensure that its personnel have received appropriate training regarding their responsibilities, have committed
themselves to obligations of confidentiality in relation to such Personal Data through executed written
confidentiality agreements, and that such confidentiality obligations survive the termination of the Personnel
engagement
(iii) Security. Processor shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of
security appropriate to the risk, including, from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration,
unauthorised, disclosure of or access to Personal Data including as appropriate: the pseudonymisation and
encryption of Personal Data; the ability to restore the availability and access to the Personal Data in a timely
manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and a process for regularly testing, assessing and
evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the
processing. The Processor shall notify the Controller of any material changes to the technical and
organisational measures used by the Processor throughout the Term.
(3) DATA PROTECTION OBLIGATIONS – EU/SWISS/UK
(a) Data Transfers. The Processor shall not disclose the Controller Data to any third party without the prior written
approval of the Controller. The Processor shall not transfer, or otherwise permit access to, any of the Personal Data or
other information relating to current or former customers, candidates and Personnel of the Controller and of its Affiliates
to a country outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom (“UK”) (each an “Exporting
Country”) except with the prior written consent of the Controller and in accordance with any terms the Controller may
reasonably impose on such transfer.
(i) EU SCCs. The Parties hereby agree to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (the “SCCs”), Module 2, Transfer
Controller to Processor, as set forth in Schedule 1 to this DPA which are incorporated herein by reference.
2
VERSION EFFECTIVE 3-5-2025
Processor will Process all Personal Data from an Exporting Country in accordance with the EU Standard
Contractual Clauses. For purposes of complying with the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, the Parties agree
that Service Provider will be the “data importer” and Customer will be the “data exporter”.
(ii) UK SCCs. The Parties further agree to apply the provisions of the UK Standard Contractual Clauses to the
Processing of Personal Data from an Exporting Country, which is incorporated herein by reference. The SCCs
attached hereto as Schedule 1 shall also apply to transfers of such data, and the Parties agree that Annexes I-III
of the UK Standard Contractual Clauses shall be deemed completed with the information set forth in Annexes
I through III of Schedule 1 of this DPA.
(b) Data Subject Rights. The Processor agrees to assist the Controller, including taking appropriate technical and
organisational measures which take into account the nature of the processing, to respond to requests by data subjects,
exercising their rights under Data Protection Laws, within such reasonable timescale as may be specified by the
Controller.
(c) Assistance. The Processor shall assist the Controller within such reasonable periods of time that allow the Controller to
comply with its obligations pursuant to, Article 32 (Security), Articles 33 and 34 (Data Breach Notification), Article 35
(Data Protection Impact Assessments); and Article 36 (Prior Consultation) of the GDPR and provide all information
necessary to demonstrate compliance with such obligations.
(d) Breach Notification. The Processor will notify the Controller without undue delay, and where feasible, no later than
forty-eight (48) hours of the Processor becoming aware of a Data Security Breach, and shall include in such notification,
at least the applicable information referred to in Article 33(3) of the GDPR. The Processor shall not communicate with
any data subject with respect to a Data Security Breach without the prior written consent of the Controller, unless
required by Applicable Law(s).
(e) Sub-Processing. Processor shall not engage any third party to Process the Controller's Personal Data without the prior
written consent of the Controller. Controller hereby approves all sub processors identified in the list of sub-processors
provided in Annex III of the Standard Contractual Clauses attached as Schedule 1 that will perform services necessary
for Processor to perform the Services. Changes in sub processors shall be promptly communicated to Controller. The
Processor shall inform the Controller of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of the other
processors. Customer may object to Processor’s use of a new Sub-processor by notifying Processor promptly in writing
within ten (10) days of receipt of notice. If Customer objects to a new Sub-processor, Processor will use reasonable
efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to
Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new
Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening Customer. If Processor is unable to make available such change within a
reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed sixty (60) days, Customer may terminate the applicable Order Form(s)
with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by Processor without the use of the objected-to new
Sub-processor by providing written notice to Processor.
If the Processor engages any third party to Process any Controller Data, Processor shall impose on such third party, by
means of a written contract, the same data protection obligations as set forth in this DPA and shall ensure that, if any
third-party engaged by Processor in turn engages another person to Process any Controller Data, the third party is
required to comply with all of the obligations in respect of Processing Personal Data that are imposed under this DPA.
The Processor shall remain fully liable to the Controller for Processing by any third party as if the Processing was being
conducted by the Processor.
(f) Demonstrating Compliance. The Processor shall make available to the Controller all information necessary to
demonstrate compliance with the obligations set out in Article 28 of the GDPR and this DPA, and allow for and
contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the Controller or another auditor authorized by the Controller,
or any competent authority.
(g) Infringement. The Processor will immediately inform the Controller if, in its opinion, an instruction given or request
made pursuant to this DPA or the Agreement infringes any Data Protection Law.
(h) Termination. On termination of the Agreement (or at any other time upon request of the Controller), the Processor shall
return and/or delete, at the election of the Controller, all copies of Personal Data received and/or processed by Processor
under the Agreement unless European Union, Member State, or other Applicable Law(s) requires retention of the
Personal Data. The provisions of this Section 3 shall survive the durational term of the Agreement until the Processor
has returned or destroyed all Personal Data.
(4) DATA PROTECTION OBLIGATIONS – U.S.
(a) Definitions. As used in this Section 4, the following terms have the meanings given them by U.S. Data Protection Laws,
3
VERSION EFFECTIVE 3-5-2025
as may be amended from time to time: “Business,” “Business Purpose,” “Commercial”, “Commercial Purpose,”
“Consumer,” “Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising,” Process,” “Sell,” and “Service Provider,” “Share”.
(b) Service Provider Obligations. Service Provider shall not collect, retain, use, disclose or otherwise make available
Personal Data (and has not collected, retained, used, disclosed or otherwise made available Personal Data) for any
purpose other than the limited and specified purpose of performing the Services during the term of the Agreement
pursuant to the Agreement, except, where otherwise required by a law that applies to the particular Personal Data. In
such a case, unless prohibited by law, Service Provider shall inform Customer of the relevant legal requirement before
processing the Personal Data. The parties agree that the nature, purpose, duration, categories, and instructions for
processing Personal Data are set forth in Annexes I through III of Schedule 1 of this DPA.
(c) Service Provider Restrictions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at all times, Service Provider: (i) shall
keep and maintain all Personal Data in strict confidence, using commercially reasonable care to avoid unauthorized
collection, receipt, transmission, storage, disposal, use, destruction, disclosure or other processing (i) shall not collect,
retain, use, or disclose Personal Data for any purpose other than the Business Purpose specified in the Agreement; (iii)
shall not Sell or Share the Personal Data; (iv) shall not collect, retain, use, or disclose Personal Data outside the direct
business relationship between Service Provider and Customer; (v) shall not collect more than the minimum Personal
Data necessary, nor retain Personal Data longer than necessary, to perform the Services; (vi) shall not use Personal Data
to build or modify a profile about a natural person to use in providing services to an entity other than Customer; and (vii)
shall not correct or augment Personal Data nor otherwise combine it with Personal Data from or on behalf of another
person or persons, or any another source (including from Service Provider itself). This DPA does not authorize Sharing
or Processing of Personal Data for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising. Service Provider hereby
certifies that it understands its obligations under this Section 4(c) and shall comply with the obligations set forth herein
and as otherwise required under Applicable Law.
(d) Cooperation. Service Provider shall, upon reasonable request, make available all information reasonably necessary in
Service Provider’s possession to demonstrate Service Provider’s compliance with its obligations under this Section.
Service Provider shall reasonably cooperate with Customer as necessary for Customer to fulfill its responsibilities
pursuant to Applicable Law(s) with respect to Personal Data. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as
Customer may direct, Service Provider shall promptly: (i) provide Customer copies of any or all Personal Data in a
structured, commonly used, machine-readable format easily rendered into text an average consumer/data subject can
read and understand; (ii) correct any or all Personal Data; (iii) delete any or all Personal Data; (iv) assist Customer as it
reasonably requests to comply with requests by Consumers/Data Subjects or their agents pursuant to Applicable Law(s),
including without limitation, requests to “know;” to “delete,” to “correct”, to “opt out,” or to not “opt in”; and (v) assist
Customer as it reasonably requests to facilitate its compliance with Applicable Law(s), including without limitation
through Service Provider cooperation with audits and data protection assessments. For the avoidance of doubt, Service
Provider shall not respond to requests from consumers or their agents as to Personal Data, except where and to the extent
directed by Customer or required by Applicable Law(s). For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Agreement nor this DPA
authorizes or permits Service Provider to respond to requests from consumers, their agents or other third parties relating
to Personal Data unless Customer directs Service Provider to respond in writing, in which case, Service Provider shall
respond to the extent and in accordance with such written direction from Customer.
(e) De-Identified Information. Service Provider shall not reidentify or attempt to reidentify any Deidentified Information
provided by, or obtained on behalf of, Customer. Service Provider shall not use Deidentified Information unless
expressly authorized by the Agreement. If the Agreement authorizes such use and Service Provider intends to make such
use, Service Provider represents and warrants, at all times, that it has implemented and that it shall maintain the
following: (i) technical safeguards that prohibit reidentification of any individual or household to whom the information
may pertain; (ii) business processes that specifically prohibit reidentification of the information; (iii) business processes
to prevent inadvertent release of Deidentified Information; (iv) publicly commit to maintain and use Deidentified
Information only in deidentified form, and make no attempt to reidentify Deidentified Information; (v) permit and
facilitate reasonable Customer oversight of Service Provider’s compliance with this paragraph; and (vi) process
Deidentified Information only if, to the extent, and for the purposes permitted by Applicable Law(s) and the Agreement.
(f) Sub-Processors. Service Provider shall not permit any third party, including any affiliate, to process Personal Data,
except as authorized under this DPA. Prior to engaging any Sub-processor to process Personal Data, Service Provider
shall notify Customer in advance of such engagement and provide Customer an opportunity to object to such
4
VERSION EFFECTIVE 3-5-2025
Sub-processor’s processing of Personal Data. If Customer objects to such Sub-processor, Service Provider shall not
permit such Sup-processor to process Personal Data. If Customer does not object to such Sup-processor, Service
Provider shall execute a written agreement with such Sub-processor imposing binding confidentiality and data
processing obligations no less protective of the Personal Data than those imposed on Service Provider in this DPA and
the Agreement. Service Provider remains fully liable to Customer for each Sub-processor’s acts or omissions and
performance of its obligations. Any Sub-processor used in accordance with this Section must qualify as a service
provider or processor under the Applicable Law(s) and Service Provider cannot make any disclosures of Personal Data
to the Sub-processor that the Applicable Law(s) would treat as a “Sale” or “Sharing”. Upon the Customer’s written
request, Service Provider will audit a Sub-processor’s compliance with its obligations relating to Personal Data and
provide Customer with the audit results.
(g) Non-Compliance Notice. Service Provider shall promptly notify Customer if Service Provider determines it can no
longer meet its obligations under this DPA or Applicable Law(s).
(h) Remediation. Customer has the right, upon notice, to take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate
unauthorized use of Personal Data.
(5) ENTIRE AGREEMENT; CONFLICT. This DPA includes any applicable DPA Schedules incorporated by reference.
Except as supplemented by this DPA, the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If there is a conflict between the
Agreement and this DPA, the terms of the DPA will control, except that an applicable DPA Schedule will control over this
DPA and the Agreement.

Data protection safeguards
The data exporter warrants that it has used reasonable efforts to determine that the data importer is able, through the
implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures, to satisfy its obligations under these Clauses.
8.1 Instructions
(a) The data importer shall process the personal data only on documented instructions from the data exporter. The data
exporter may give such instructions throughout the duration of the contract.
(b) The data importer shall immediately inform the data exporter if it is unable to follow those instructions.
8.2 Purpose limitation
The data importer shall process the personal data only for the specific purpose(s) of the transfer, as set out in Annex I.B, unless
on further instructions from the data exporter.
8.3 Transparency
On request, the data exporter shall make a copy of these Clauses, including the Appendix as completed by the Parties, available
to the data subject free of charge. To the extent necessary to protect business secrets or other confidential information, including
the measures described in Annex II and personal data, the data exporter may redact part of the text of the Appendix to these
Clauses prior to sharing a copy, but shall provide a meaningful summary where the data subject would otherwise not be able to
understand its content or exercise his/her rights. On request, the Parties shall provide the data subject with the reasons for the
redactions, to the extent possible without revealing the redacted information. This Clause is without prejudice to the obligations
of the data exporter under Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
8.4 Accuracy

VERSION EFFECTIVE 3-5-2025
If the data importer becomes aware that the personal data it has received is inaccurate, or has become outdated, it shall inform the
data exporter without undue delay. In this case, the data importer shall cooperate with the data exporter to erase or rectify the
data.
8.5 Duration of processing and erasure or return of data
Processing by the data importer shall only take place for the duration specified in Annex I.B. After the end of the provision of the
processing services, the data importer shall, at the choice of the data exporter, delete all personal data processed on behalf of the
data exporter and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, or return to the data exporter all personal data processed on its
behalf and delete existing copies. Until the data is deleted or returned, the data importer shall continue to ensure compliance with
these Clauses. In case of local laws applicable to the data importer that prohibit return or deletion of the personal data, the data
importer warrants that it will continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses and will only process it to the extent and for as
long as required under that local law. This is without prejudice to Clause 14, in particular the requirement for the data importer
under Clause 14(e) to notify the data exporter throughout the duration of the contract if it has reason to believe that it is or has
become subject to laws or practices not in line with the requirements under Clause 14(a).
8.6 Security of processing
(a) The data importer and, during transmission, also the data exporter shall implement appropriate technical and
organisational measures to ensure the security of the data, including protection against a breach of security leading to
accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access to that data (hereinafter ‘personal
data breach’). In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Parties shall take due account of the state of the art, the
costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purpose(s) of processing and the risks involved in the
processing for the data subjects. The Parties shall in particular consider having recourse to encryption or
pseudonymisation, including during transmission, where the purpose of processing can be fulfilled in that manner. In
case of pseudonymisation, the additional information for attributing the personal data to a specific data subject shall,
where possible, remain under the exclusive control of the data exporter. In complying with its obligations under this
paragraph, the data importer shall at least implement the technical and organisational measures specified in Annex II.
The data importer shall carry out regular checks to ensure that these measures continue to provide an appropriate level
of security.
(b) The data importer shall grant access to the personal data to members of its personnel only to the extent strictly
necessary for the implementation, management and monitoring of the contract. It shall ensure that persons authorised to
process the personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation
of confidentiality.
(c) In the event of a personal data breach concerning personal data processed by the data importer under these Clauses, the
data importer shall take appropriate measures to address the breach, including measures to mitigate its adverse effects.
The data importer shall also notify the data exporter without undue delay after having become aware of the breach.
Such notification shall contain the details of a contact point where more information can be obtained, a description of
the nature of the breach (including, where possible, categories and approximate number of data subjects and personal
data records concerned), its likely consequences and the measures taken or proposed to address the breach including,
where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects. Where, and in so far as, it is not possible to
provide all information at the same time, the initial notification shall contain the information then available and further
information shall, as it becomes available, subsequently be provided without undue delay.
(d) The data importer shall cooperate with and assist the data exporter to enable the data exporter to comply with its
obligations under Regulation (EU) 2016/679, in particular to notify the competent supervisory authority and the
affected data subjects, taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to the data importer.
8.7 Sensitive data
Where the transfer involves personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or
trade union membership, genetic data, or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning
health or a person’s sex life or sexual orientation, or data relating to criminal convictions and offences (hereinafter ‘sensitive
data’), the data importer shall apply the specific restrictions and/or additional safeguards described in Annex I.B.
8.8 Onward transfers
The data importer shall only disclose the personal data to a third party on documented instructions from the data exporter. In
addition, the data may only be disclosed to a third party located outside the European Union (in the same country as the data
importer or in another third country, hereinafter ‘onward transfer’) if the third party is or agrees to be bound by these Clauses,
under the appropriate Module, or if:
8
VERSION EFFECTIVE 3-5-2025
(i) the onward transfer is to a country benefitting from an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of Regulation
(EU) 2016/679 that covers the onward transfer;

2016/679 with respect to the processing in question;
(iii) the onward transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims in the context of specific
administrative, regulatory or judicial proceedings; or
(iv) the onward transfer is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural
person.
Any onward transfer is subject to compliance by the data importer with all the other safeguards under these Clauses, in particular
purpose limitation.
8.9 Documentation and compliance
(a) The data importer shall promptly and adequately deal with enquiries from the data exporter that relate to the processing
under these Clauses.
(b) The Parties shall be able to demonstrate compliance with these Clauses. In particular, the data importer shall keep
appropriate documentation on the processing activities carried out on behalf of the data exporter.
(c) The data importer shall make available to the data exporter all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with
the obligations set out in these Clauses and at the data exporter’s request, allow for and contribute to audits of the

SECTION III – LOCAL LAWS AND OBLIGATIONS IN CASE OF ACCESS BY PUBLIC AUTHORITIES
Clause 14
Local laws and practices affecting compliance with the Clauses
(a) The Parties warrant that they have no reason to believe that the laws and practices in the third country of destination
applicable to the processing of the personal data by the data importer, including any requirements to disclose personal
data or measures authorising access by public authorities, prevent the data importer from fulfilling its obligations under
these Clauses. This is based on the understanding that laws and practices that respect the essence of the fundamental
rights and freedoms and do not exceed what is necessary and proportionate in a democratic society to safeguard one of
the objectives listed in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, are not in contradiction with these Clauses.
(b) The Parties declare that in providing the warranty in paragraph (a), they have taken due account in particular of the
following elements:
(i) the specific circumstances of the transfer, including the length of the processing chain, the number of actors
involved and the transmission channels used; intended onward transfers; the type of recipient; the purpose of
processing; the categories and format of the transferred personal data; the economic sector in which the transfer
occurs; the storage location of the data transferred;
(ii) the laws and practices of the third country of destination– including those requiring the disclosure of data to public
authorities or authorising access by such authorities – relevant in light of the specific circumstances of the transfer,
and the applicable limitations and safeguards;
(iii) any relevant contractual, technical or organisational safeguards put in place to supplement the safeguards under
these Clauses, including measures applied during transmission and to the processing of the personal data in the
country of destination.
(c) The data importer warrants that, in carrying out the assessment under paragraph (b), it has made its best efforts to
provide the data exporter with relevant information and agrees that it will continue to cooperate with the data exporter
in ensuring compliance with these Clauses.
11
VERSION EFFECTIVE 3-5-2025
(d) The Parties agree to document the assessment under paragraph (b) and make it available to the competent supervisory
authority on request.
(e) The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter promptly if, after having agreed to these Clauses and for the
duration of the contract, it has reason to believe that it is or has become subject to laws or practices not in line with the
requirements under paragraph (a), including following a change in the laws of the third country or a measure (such as a
disclosure request) indicating an application of such laws in practice that is not in line with the requirements in
paragraph (a).
(f) Following a notification pursuant to paragraph (e), or if the data exporter otherwise has reason to believe that the data
importer can no longer fulfil its obligations under these Clauses, the data exporter shall promptly identify appropriate
measures (e.g. technical or organisational measures to ensure security and confidentiality) to be adopted by the data
exporter and/or data importer to address the situation. The data exporter shall suspend the data transfer if it considers
that no appropriate safeguards for such transfer can be ensured, or if instructed by the competent supervisory authority
to do so. In this case, the data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing
of personal data under these Clauses. If the contract involves more than two Parties, the data exporter may exercise this
right to termination only with respect to the relevant Party, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise. Where the contract
is terminated pursuant to this Clause, Clause 16(d) and (e) shall apply.
Clause 15
Obligations of the data importer in case of access by public authorities
15.1 Notification
(a) The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter and, where possible, the data subject promptly (if necessary with
the help of the data exporter) if it:
(i) receives a legally binding request from a public authority, including judicial authorities, under the laws of the
country of destination for the disclosure of personal data transferred pursuant to these Clauses; such notification
shall include information about the personal data requested, the requesting authority, the legal basis for the request
and the response provided; or
(ii) becomes aware of any direct access by public authorities to personal data transferred pursuant to these Clauses in
accordance with the laws of the country of destination; such notification shall include all information available to
the importer.
(b) If the data importer is prohibited from notifying the data exporter and/or the data subject under the laws of the country
of destination, the data importer agrees to use its best efforts to obtain a waiver of the prohibition, with a view to
communicating as much information as possible, as soon as possible. The data importer agrees to document its best
efforts in order to be able to demonstrate them on request of the data exporter.
(c) Where permissible under the laws of the country of destination, the data importer agrees to provide the data exporter, at
regular intervals for the duration of the contract, with as much relevant information as possible on the requests received
(in particular, number of requests, type of data requested, requesting authority/ies, whether requests have been
challenged and the outcome of such challenges, etc.).
(d) The data importer agrees to preserve the information pursuant to paragraphs (a) to (c) for the duration of the contract
and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
(e) Paragraphs (a) to (c) are without prejudice to the obligation of the data importer pursuant to Clause 14(e) and Clause 16
to inform the data exporter promptly where it is unable to comply with these Clauses.
15.2 Review of legality and data minimisation
(a) The data importer agrees to review the legality of the request for disclosure, in particular whether it remains within the
powers granted to the requesting public authority, and to challenge the request if, after careful assessment, it concludes
that there are reasonable grounds to consider that the request is unlawful under the laws of the country of destination,
applicable obligations under international law and principles of international comity. The data importer shall, under the
same conditions, pursue possibilities of appeal. When challenging a request, the data importer shall seek interim
measures with a view to suspending the effects of the request until the competent judicial authority has decided on its
12
VERSION EFFECTIVE 3-5-2025
merits. It shall not disclose the personal data requested until required to do so under the applicable procedural rules.
These requirements are without prejudice to the obligations of the data importer under Clause 14(e).
(b) The data importer agrees to document its legal assessment and any challenge to the request for disclosure and, to the
extent permissible under the laws of the country of destination, make the documentation available to the data exporter.
It shall also make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
(c) The data importer agrees to provide the minimum amount of information permissible when responding to a request for
disclosure, based on a reasonable interpretation of the request.
SECTION IV – FINAL PROVISIONS
Clause 16
Non-compliance with the Clauses and termination
(a) The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter if it is unable to comply with these Clauses, for whatever
reason.
(b) In the event that the data importer is in breach of these Clauses or unable to comply with these Clauses, the data
exporter shall suspend the transfer of personal data to the data importer until compliance is again ensured or the
contract is terminated. This is without prejudice to Clause 14(f).
(c) The data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under
these Clauses, where:
(i) the data exporter has suspended the transfer of personal data to the data importer pursuant to paragraph (b) and
compliance with these Clauses is not restored within a reasonable time and in any event within one month of
suspension;
(ii) the data importer is in substantial or persistent breach of these Clauses; or
(iii) the data importer fails to comply with a binding decision of a competent court or supervisory authority regarding
its obligations under these Clauses.

have agreed otherwise.
(d) Personal data that has been transferred prior to the termination of the contract pursuant to paragraph (c) shall at the
choice of the data exporter immediately be returned to the data exporter or deleted in its entirety. The same shall apply
to any copies of the data. The data importer shall certify the deletion of the data to the data exporter. Until the data is
deleted or returned, the data importer shall continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses. In case of local laws
applicable to the data importer that prohibit the return or deletion of the transferred personal data, the data importer
warrants that it will continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses and will only process the data to the extent and
for as long as required under that local law.
(e) Either Party may revoke its agreement to be bound by these Clauses where (i) the European Commission adopts a
decision pursuant to Article 45(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 that covers the transfer of personal data to which these
Clauses apply; or (ii) Regulation (EU) 2016/679 becomes part of the legal framework of the country to which the
personal data is transferred. This is without prejudice to other obligations applying to the processing in question under
Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
Clause 17
Governing law
These Clauses shall be governed by the law of the EU Member State in which the data exporter is established. Where such law
does not allow for third-party beneficiary rights, they shall be governed by the law of another EU Member State that does allow
for third-party beneficiary rights. The Parties agree that this shall be the law of the Republic of Ireland.
Clause 18
