8. Data Transfers
The Supplier shall not have the right to transfer personal data to a third party or to grant
access to a third party, e.g. by giving remote access to personal data (all understood as a
transfer) or to involve Subprocessor to process personal data (the above-mentioned transfer
and subprocessing activities are collectively referred to as the transfer of personal data
to a third party) without written consent. Upon consent, the transfer of personal data by
the Supplier shall be subject to the establishment of the same data protection obligations
as provided for in this data processing agreement before the transfer of personal data to
the relevant third party. The consent shall not be required for those Subprocessor (service
providers) listed in Annex 1.
This consent shall be valid until the earliest of the following: (i) if the Customer
notifies the Supplier of the withdrawal of the consent; or (ii) if the Supplier notifies the
Customer that the Supplier no longer uses the approved third party for that purpose.
If the Customer does not consent to the transfer of personal data to a third party for the
reason that the Customer considers reasonable, the Supplier shall continue to perform the
Agreement and the data processing agreement under the agreed conditions until the following
events occur: (i) The Parties have agreed to terminate the Agreement related to the
processing of personal data and have ensured the return of the relevant personal data to the
Customer (or deletion, as the case may be) or have agreed to transfer the Agreement to a new
service provider, which can in no case take longer than three (3) months; or (ii) the
Parties have agreed how the performance of the Agreement will continue, including the
relevant costs and in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Customer.
If the third party subprocessor does not comply with the applicable data protection
legislation or does not comply with the data protection obligations arising from the

third party obligations under applicable data protection legislation and the relevant
Agreement.
9. Data Return and Deletion
The parties agree that on the termination of the data processing services or upon Customer’s
reasonable request, Supplier shall, and shall cause any Subprocessors to, at the choice of
Customer, return all the Customer Personal Data and copies of such data to Customer or
securely destroy them and demonstrate to the satisfaction of Customer that it has taken such
measures, unless Data Protection Requirements prevent Supplier from returning or destroying
all or part of the Customer Personal Data disclosed. In such case, Supplier agrees to
preserve the confidentiality of the Customer Personal Data retained by it and that it will
only actively process such Customer Personal Data after such date in order to comply with
applicable laws.
10. Third Party Data Processors
Customer acknowledges that in the provision of some services (such as CRMs), Supplier, on
receipt of instructions from Customer, may transfer Customer Personal Data to and otherwise
interact with third party data processors. Customer agrees that if and to the extent such
transfers occur, Customer is responsible for entering into separate contractual arrangements
with such third-party data processors binding them to comply with obligations in accordance
with Data Protection Requirements. For avoidance of doubt, such third-party data processors
are not Subprocessors.
