    1. SUBCONTRACTORS  
      1. The Processor may only authorise a third party (“subcontractor”) to process the Personal Data if:

  1. SECURITY

5.1 The Processor shall, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including as appropriate: 

  1. the pseudonymisation and encryption of Personal Data;
  2. the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services;
  3. the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident;
  4. a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.

5.2 In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Processor shall take account in particular of the risks that are presented by processing, in particular from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.

  1. RESPONSES TO DATA SUBJECTS

6.1 The Processor will put in place such technical and organisational measures as may be appropriate to enable the Controller to comply with the rights of Data Subjects under Data Protection Legislation, including the right of access, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, the right to restriction of processing, the right to data portability, the right to object to processing and the right to object to automated individual decision making.

6.2 If the Processor receives any complaint or other communication relating to the processing of the Personal Data or a Subject Access Request from a Data Subject, it must notify the Controller as soon as possible after it receives it and will provide the Controller with all reasonable assistance in helping the Controller to reply to such communications.

6.4 The Processor will provide all appropriate assistance to the Controller to enable it to comply with any information or assessment notices served on the Controller by any supervisory authority under the Data Protection Legislation.

7.2 If the Processor becomes aware of any unauthorised or unlawful processing of the Personal Data or any Personal Data Breach, it will notify the Controller without undue delay including all relevant information such as:

(a) a description of the nature of the Personal Data Breach, the unauthorised or unlawful processing and/or the Personal Data Loss, including the categories and approximate number of both Data Subjects and Personal Data records concerned;

 (b)  the likely consequences; and

 (c)  description of the measures taken, or proposed to be taken, including measures to mitigate the impact.

7.3  The parties will co-ordinate and co-operate with each other to investigate any matters arising as contemplated by this paragraph. 

7.5  The Processor agrees that it shall not (and the Controller is solely responsible to):

 (a)   provide notice of the Personal Data Breach to any Data Subjects, supervisory authorities, regulators, law enforcement agencies or any other third party, except when the Processor (as opposed to the Controller) is required by law or regulation to provide such notice; and

 (b)   offer any type of remedy to affected Data Subjects.

  1. CROSS-BORDER TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA

8.1 The Processor (or any subcontractor of the Processor) shall not transfer or otherwise process Personal Data outside the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA) (as the case may be) without obtaining the Controller’s prior written consent (except where the Processor is required to transfer such data by UK law and/or Union or Member State law, in which case the Processor shall inform the Controller of such legal requirement before processing takes place, unless any law prohibits such disclosure on important grounds of public interest).

8.2 If the Controller consents to the transfer or other processing of the Personal Data outside of the UK and/or the EEA (as the case may be) and no appropriate safeguards exist (such as an adequacy decision), the Processor and the Controller will each execute the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of Personal Data from the European Union to processors established in third countries (controller-to-processor transfers), as set out in the Schedule to Commission Decision 2010/87/EU (“SCCs”) (or the UK approved versions of the same as the case may be). 

8.2 if the Processor appoints subcontractors that are based outside of the UK or the EEA the Processor shall, prior to any Personal Data being transferred to such countries, ensure that protections are in place that comply with Data Protection Legislation.
