3.4 At Customer’s expense, Customer shall have the right to: (a) require from Company all information necessary to, and (b) conduct its own audit and/or inspections of Company (including its facilities or equipment involved in the processing of personal data) in order to demonstrate compliance with this DPA.

4.4 Company may engage with a new Sub-processor to process personal data on Customer’s behalf. Customer may object to the processing such personal data by the new Sub-processor, for reasonable and explained grounds, within five (5) business days following Company’s written notice to Customer of the intended engagement with the new Sub-processor. If Customer timely sends Company a written objection notice, the parties will make a good-faith effort to resolve Customer’s objection. In the absence of a resolution, Company may immediately terminate this DPA.

5. The Transfer of Personal Data

5.1 If Company is required to transfer personal data to a third country or an international organization under applicable laws, it shall inform Customer of that legal requirement before processing; If, subject to Customer’s prior consent, Company processes personal data from the EEA in a jurisdiction that is not an Approved Jurisdiction, Company shall ensure that it has a legally approved mechanism in place to allow for the international data transfer. If Company intends to rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, the following additional terms will apply to Company:

a. If the Standard Contractual Clauses are superseded by new or modified Standard Contractual Clauses, the new or modified Standard Contractual Clauses shall be deemed to be incorporated into this DPA, will replace the then-current Standard Contractual Clauses, and parties will promptly begin complying with such Standard Contractual Clauses. Company will abide by the obligations set forth under the Standard Contractual Clauses for data importer and/or sub-processor as the case may be.

b. If Company subcontracts any processing of personal data, Company will ensure that it has a legally approved mechanism in place to allow for the international data transfer, where relevant.

7.General

7.1 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties will (a) take commercially reasonable steps to limit access to only those employees, agents, subcontractors, data processors or consultants strictly necessary to perform their respective obligations under the Agreement; (b) have in place procedures so that any third party it authorizes to have access to personal data will respect and maintain the confidentiality and security of the personal data; and (c) promptly notify each other about (i) any legally binding request for disclosure of personal data by a law enforcement authority unless otherwise prohibited; and (ii) any received request under Data Protection Laws that is related to the products and services provided under the Agreement.

7.3 In the event and to the extent that the Data Protection Laws impose stricter obligations on the parties than under this DPA, the Data Protection Laws shall prevail.
