3.  Security

3.1.  The Supplier shall implement technical and organisational security measures in order to protect personal data against destruction, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, and unauthorised access. The measures shall ensure a level of security that is appropriate considering the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context, and purpose of the processing as well as the risks of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons. The Supplier may amend its technical and organisational measures.

 

3.2.  The Supplier shall notify Customer of accidental or unauthorised access to personal data or any other personal data breach without undue delay after becoming aware of such data breach and pursuant to Article 33 of the GDPR. Such notification shall not in any manner imply that the Supplier has committed any wrongful act or omission, or that the Supplier shall become liable for the personal data breach.

 

3.3.  If the Customer, during the term of this DPA, requires that the Supplier take additional security measures, the Supplier shall as far as possible meet such requirements provided that the Customer pays and takes responsibility for any and all costs associated with such additional measures.

4.  Sub-processors and Transform to Third Countries

4.1.  ​Customer hereby grants the Supplier with a general authorisation to engage sub-processors. Sub-processors are listed in the list of sub-contractors in Appendix 1B.

4.2.  The Supplier shall inform Customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of sub-processors, thereby giving Customer the opportunity to object to such changes. Such objection shall be made in writing and within thirty (30) calendar days after the Supplier has informed Customer about the intended changes. If Customer objects to the Supplier engaging a sub-processor and the Parties cannot agree, within a reasonable time, on the new sub-processor’s engagement in the processing of personal data, the Supplier can terminate the Agreement.

 

4.3.  If the Supplier and/or sub-processors transfers personal data outside the EU/EEA, such transfer shall always comply with the applicable data protection requirements according to the GDPR and related data protection legislation. The Supplier shall keep Customer informed about the legal grounds for the transfer.

In addition, the Supplier's liability shall be limited to an amount corresponding to the fees paid by the Customer to the Supplier under the Agreement for a period of six (6) months before the damage occurred.

6.  Term and Termination

6.1.  This DPA becomes effective when the Agreement has been entered into.

 

6.2.  Upon termination of the Agreement, the Supplier shall at the choice of Customer, delete all the personal data or return it to Customer, and ensure that each sub-processor does the same.

This DPA shall thereafter cease to apply. Sections 5 and 6.2 shall continue to apply even after this DPA has been terminated.

7.  Changes

7.1.  If provisions of the GDPR change or if a supervisory authority issues guidelines, decisions or regulations regarding the application of the GDPR during the term of this DPA, with the result that this DPA does not meet the requirements for a data processing agreement, the Parties shall change this DPA to meet the requirements.
