    1. Customer hereby authorizes Defined to appoint (and permit each Sub-Processor appointed in accordance with this Section 5 to appoint) Sub-Processors in accordance with this Section 5.

    2. A current list of Defined’s Sub-processors is available at https://www.defined.net/legal/subprocessors (“Sub-processor Page”) and Customer hereby consents to Defined’s use of such Sub-processors.

    3. Defined shall notify Customer if it adds or removes Sub-processors at least 14 days prior to any such changes if Customer opts in to receive such notifications using the dedicated form referenced in the Sub-processor Page. Customer may object in writing to Defined’s appointment of any new Sub-processor prior to their appointment on reasonable grounds relating to data protection (e.g. if making Customer Personal Data available to Sub-processor may violate applicable Data Protection Laws or weaken the protections for such Customer Personal Data) and in such instance, the parties shall discuss such concerns in good faith with a view to achieving a commercially reasonable resolution. If no such objection is reached, Defined will, at its sole discretion, either not appoint the Sub-processor, not permit the Sub-processor to process Customer Personal Data (where possible), or permit Customer to terminate the Agreement without liability to either party (but without prejudice to the fees incurred by Customer prior to suspension or termination).

    4. Defined will enter into an agreement with each Sub-Processor that imposes on the Sub-Processor, in substance, the same obligations that apply to Defined under this DPA. Where any of its Sub-Processors fails to fulfil its data protection obligations, Defined will be liable to Customer for the performance of its Sub-Processors’ obligations.

  5. Data Subject Rights

Customer is responsible for responding to any Data Subject requests relating to Customer Personal Data (“Requests”). If Defined receives any Requests during the term of the Agreement, Defined will advise the Data Subject to submit the request directly to Customer. Defined will provide Customer with reasonable assistance to permit Customer to respond to Requests.

Upon becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data, Defined will (i) promptly take measures designed to remediate the Personal Data Breach, and (ii) notify Customer without undue delay. Customer is solely responsible for complying with Personal Data Breach notification requirements applicable to Customer. Customer may request that Defined reasonably assist Customer’s efforts to notify Personal Data Breaches to the competent data protection authorities and/or affected Data Subjects, if Customer is required to do so under the Data Protection Laws. Defined’s notice of or response to a Personal Data Breach under this Section 7 will not be an acknowledgement or admission by Defined of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach.

  1. Data Protection Impact Assessment; Prior Consultation

Customer may request reasonable assistance from Defined in connection with conducting data protection impact assessments and consultation with data protection authorities if Customer is required to engage in such activities under applicable Data Protection Laws and the data protection impact assessment or consultation relate to the Processing by Defined of Customer Personal Data.

  1. Deletion or Return of Customer Personal Data

Defined will delete or return Customer Personal Data, upon Customer’s written request, upon termination of the Agreement, and delete existing copies. The parties agree that the certification of deletion described in the SCCs, if applicable, shall be provided only upon Customer’s written request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Defined may retain Customer Personal Data to the extent and for the period required by applicable laws and compliance with Defined’s business continuity policy provided that Defined maintains the confidentiality of all such Customer Personal Data and Processes such Customer Personal Data only as necessary for the purpose(s) specified in the applicable laws requiring its storage.

  1. Audits

    1. Customer may audit Defined’s compliance with its obligations under this DPA up to once per year. In addition, Customer may perform more frequent audits (including inspections) in the event: (1) Defined suffers a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data; (2) Customer has genuine, documented concerns regarding Defined’s compliance with this DPA or the Data Protection Laws; or (3) where required by the Data Protection Laws, including where mandated by regulatory or governmental authorities with jurisdiction over Customer Personal Data. Defined will contribute to such audits by providing Customer or Customer’s regulatory or governmental authority with the information and assistance reasonably necessary to conduct the audit.

    2. To request an audit, Customer must submit a detailed proposed audit plan to Defined at least one month in advance of the proposed audit start date. The proposed audit plan must describe the proposed scope, duration, start date of the audit, and the identity of any third party Customer intends to appoint to perform the audit. Defined will review the proposed audit plan and provide Customer with any concerns or questions (for example, Defined may object to the third party auditor as described in Section 10.3, provide an Audit Report as described in Section 10.4, or identify any requests for information that could compromise Defined confidentiality obligations or security, privacy, employment or other relevant policies). The parties will negotiate in good faith to agree on a final audit plan at least two weeks in advance of the proposed audit start date.  Nothing in this Section 10 shall require Defined to breach any duties of confidentiality.

    3. Defined may object to third party auditors that are, in Defined’s reasonable opinion, not suitably qualified or independent, a competitor of Defined, or otherwise manifestly unsuitable. Customer will appoint another auditor or conduct the audit itself if the parties cannot resolve Defined’s auditor objection after negotiating in good faith.

    4. If the requested audit scope is addressed in an SSAE 18/ISAE 3402 Type 2, ISO, NIST or similar audit report performed by a qualified third party auditor on Defined’s systems that Process Customer Personal Data (“Audit Reports”) within twelve (12) months of Customer’s audit request and Defined confirms there are no known material changes in the controls audited, Customer agrees to accept the Audit Report in lieu of requesting an audit of the controls covered by the Audit Report.

    5. The audit must be conducted at a mutually agreeable time during regular business hours at the applicable facility, subject to the agreed final audit plan and Defined’s health and safety or other relevant policies. The audit may not unreasonably interfere with Defined business activities.

    6. Any audits are at Customer’s expense and Customer will promptly disclose to Defined any perceived non-compliance or security concerns discovered during the audit, together with all relevant details.

    7. The parties agree that the audits described in the SCCs, if applicable, shall be performed in accordance with this Section 10.

  2. Liability

    1. Each party’s liability towards the other party under or in connection with this DPA will be limited in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.

    2. Customer acknowledges that Defined is reliant on Customer for direction as to the extent to which Defined is entitled to Process Customer Personal Data on behalf of Customer in performance of the Service. Consequently, Defined will not be liable under the Agreement for any claim brought by a Data Subject arising from (a) any action or omission by Defined in compliance with Customer’s instructions or (b) from Customer’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Data Protection Laws.

  3. General Provisions
