5.3 Data protection impact assessments and prior consultation
5.3.1 If the Data Controller requires information or assistance regarding security, documentation or information about how the Data Processor processes the Personal Data generally and such request contains information that goes beyond what is required by the Applicable Law, the Data Processor may require payment for such additional services.
5.4 Rights of the data subjects
5.4.1 If the Data Controller receives a request from a data subject for the exercise of the data subject’s rights under the Applicable Law and the correct and legitimate reply to such a request necessitates the Data Processor’s assistance, the Data Processor shall assist the Data Controller by providing the necessary information and documentation. The Data Processor shall be given reasonable time to assist the Data Controller with such requests in accordance with the Applicable Law.
5.4.2 If the Data Processor receives a request from a data subject for the exercise of the data subject’s rights under the Applicable Law and such request is related to the Personal Data of the Data Controller, the Data Processor must immediately forward the request to the Data Controller and must refrain from responding to the person directly.
5.5 Personal Data Breaches
5.5.1 The Data Processor shall give immediate notice to the Data Controller if a breach of the data security occurs, that can lead to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed re the Personal Data processed on behalf of the Data Controller (a “Personal Data Breach”).

6. Sub-Processors and Data Transfers
6.1 As part of the operation of the Main Services, the Data Processor uses sub-processors (“Sub-Processors”). Such Sub-Processors may be other companies of the Data Processor or third party suppliers within and outside the EU / EEA. If a Sub-Processor is established outside or Personal Data is stored outside of the EU / EEA, the Data Processor authorizes to ensure a sufficient basis for transferring Personal Data to a third country on behalf of the Data Controller, including using the EU Commission Standard Contracts or in accordance with Privacy Shield.
6.2 The Data Processor is given general authorization to engage third-parties to process the Personal Data (“Sub-Processors”) without obtaining any further written, specific authorization from the Data Controller, provided that the Data Processor notifies the Data Controller in writing about the identity of a potential Sub-Processor (and its processors, if any) before any agreements are made with the relevant Sub-Processors and before the relevant Sub-Processor processes any of the Personal Data. If the Data Controller wishes to object to the relevant Sub-Processor, the Data Controller shall give notice thereof in writing within seven (7) calendar days from receiving the notification from the Data Processor. The absence of any objections from the Data Controller shall be deemed consent to the relevant Sub-Processor.
6.3 The Data Processor may terminate this Data Processor Agreement and/or Main Agreement, including with a shorter notice than usual, to ensure that the Personal Data submitted by or on behalf of the Data Controller is not processed against the Applicable Law by a Sub-Processor.
6.4 The Data Processor shall conclude a written sub-processor agreement with any Sub-Processors. Such an agreement shall at minimum provide the same data protection obligations as the ones applicable to the Data Processor, including the obligations under this Data Processor Agreement. The Data Processor shall on an ongoing basis monitor and control its Sub-Processors’ compliance with the Applicable Law. Documentation of such monitoring and control shall be provided to the Data Controller if so requested in writing.
6.5 The Data Processor is accountable to the Data Controller for any Sub-Processor in the same way as for its own actions and omissions.
6.6 The Data Processor is at the time of entering into this Data Processor Agreement using the Sub-Processors listed in sub-appendix B. If the Data Processor initiates sub-processing with a new Sub-Processor, such new Sub-Processor shall be added to the list in sub-appendix B under paragraph 2.
6.7 The Data Controller acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with the performance of the services under the Main Agreement, Personal Data will be transferred to third countries EEA / Non-EEA (European Economic Area). The Data Processor has implemented appropriate safeguards for such transfers pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR.
7. The Data Controller’s obligations
7.1 The Data Controller warrants and undertakes that the Personal Data has been collected, processed and transferred in accordance with the laws applicable to the Data Controller. For instance the Applicable Law.
7.2 The Data Controller warrants and undertakes that it will respond to enquiries from data subjects and the authority concerning processing of the Personal Data.
7.4 The Data Controller is responsible for the accuracy, integrity, reliability and the legality of the Personal Data processed by the Data Processor.
7.5 The Data Controller has fulfilled all mandatory requirements and duties in relation to notification to, or obtaining permission from, the relevant public authorities regarding the processing of Personal Data.
7.6 The Data Controller has fulfilled his disclosure obligations to the data subject regarding the processing of Personal Data in accordance with the Applicable Law or any other applicable laws.
8. Remuneration and costs
8.1 The Data Controller shall remunerate the Data Processor based on time spent on performing the obligations under section 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 of this Data Processor Agreement based on the Data Processor’s hourly rates.
8.2 The Data Processor is also entitled to remuneration for any time and material used to adapt and change the processing activities in order to comply with any changes to the Data Controller’s Instruction, including implementation costs and additional costs required to deliver the Main Services due to the change in the Instruction. The Data Processor is exempted from liability for non-performance with the Main Agreement if the performance of the obligations under the Main Agreement would be in conflict with any changed Instruction or if contractual delivery in accordance with the changed Instruction is impossible. This could for instance be the case; (i) if the changes to the Instruction cannot technically, practically or legally be implemented; (ii) where the Data Controller explicitly requires that the changes to the Instruction shall be applicable before the changes can be implemented; and (iii) in the period of time until the Main Agreement is changed to reflect the new Instruction and commercial terms hereof.
8.3 If changes to the Applicable Law, including new guidance or courts practice, result in additional costs to the Data Processor, the Data Controller shall indemnify the Data Processor of such documented costs.
9. Breach and liability
9.1 The Main Agreement’s regulation of breach of contract and the consequences hereof shall apply equally to this Data Processor Agreement as if this Data Processor Agreement is an integrated part hereof.
9.2 Each party’s cumulated liability under this Data Processor Agreement is limited to the payments made under the Main Agreement in the 12 months before the occurrence of the circumstances leading to a breach of contract. If the Data Processor Agreement has not been in force for 12 months before the occurrence of the circumstances leading to a breach of contract, the limited liability amount shall be calculated proportionately based on the actual performed payments.
9.3 The limitation of liability does not apply to the following:
(i) Losses as a consequence of the other party’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
(ii) A party’s expenses and resources used to perform the other party’s obligations, including payment obligations, towards a relevant data protection agency or any other authority.
10. Duration
10.1 The Data processor Agreement shall remain in force until the Main Agreement is terminated.
11. Termination
11.1 The Data Processor’s authorization to process Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller shall be annulled at the termination of this Data Processor Agreement.
11.2 The Data Processor will keep some records permanently if it is legally required to do so. We may keep some other records for an extended period of time. For example, it is currently best practice to keep financial records for a minimum period of 5 years to support audits or provide tax information. We may have legal obligations to retain some data in connection with our statutory obligations. The company is permitted to retain data in order to defend or pursue claims. In some cases the law imposes a time limit for such claims. We will retain some personal data for this purpose as long as we believe it is necessary to be able to defend or pursue a claim. In general, we will endeavour to keep data only for as long as we need it. This means that we will delete it when it is no longer needed. If Data Processor is unable to delete Personal Data for technical or other reasons, Data Processor will apply measures to ensure that Personal Data is blocked from any further processing to disclose the data.
11.3 Data Controller shall, upon termination or expiration of the Data Processor Agreement and by way of issuing an Instruction, stipulate, within a period of time set by Data Processor, the reasonable measures to return data or to delete stored data. Any additional cost arising in connection with the return or deletion of Personal Data after the termination or expiration of the Data Processor Agreement shall be borne by Data Controller.
