WHEREAS
● Your company acts as a Data Controller (the "Controller").
● Your company wishes to subcontract certain Services, which imply the processing of personal data, to Paser, acting as a Data Processor (the "Processor").

It is agreed as follows:
1. Definitions and Interpretation
a. The terms, "Commission", "Controller", "Data Subject", "Member State", "Personal Data", "Personal Data Breach", "Processing" and "Supervisory Authority" shall have the same meaning as in the GDPR, and their cognate terms shall be construed accordingly.
2. Processing of Company Personal Data
a. Processor shall comply with all applicable Data Protection Laws in the Processing of Company Personal Data;b. Customer shall, in its use of the Subscription Services, Process Personal Data in accordance with the requirements of the Agreement and all Data Protection Laws and Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer’s instructions for the Processing of Personal Data shall comply with Data Protection Laws and Regulations. Customer shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, and legality of Personal Data and the means by which Customer acquired Personal Data.
3. Processor Personnel
a. Processor shall take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of any employee, agent or contractor of any Contracted Processor who may have access to Company Personal Data, ensuring in each case that access is strictly limited to those individuals who need to know / access the relevant Company Personal Data, as strictly necessary for the purposes of the Principal Agreement, and to comply with Applicable Laws in the context of that individual's duties to the Contracted Processor, ensuring that all such individuals are subject to confidentiality undertakings or professional or statutory obligations of confidentiality.
4. Security
a. Paser shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures for the protection of the security (including protection against unauthorized or unlawful Processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or damage, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Customer Data), confidentiality and integrity of Customer Data. Paser regularly monitors compliance with these measures. Paser will not materially decrease the overall security of the Subscription Services during a subscription term.
5. Subprocessing
a. Appointment of Sub-processors. Customer acknowledges and agrees that (a) Paser’s Affiliates may be retained as Sub-processors; and (b) Paser and Paser’s Affiliates, respectively, may engage third-party Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Subscription Services. Paser or its Affiliate has entered into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this DPA with respect to the protection of Personal Data to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Sub-processor. A list of approved Sub-processors as of the Effective Date of this DPA is located at this link (the “Sub-processor List”). Customer may subscribe to receive update alerts when changes are made to the Sub-processor List. Paser will inform Customer of any new Sub-processor engaged during the term of the Subscription Agreement by updating the Sub-processor List.
b. Objection Right for New Sub-processors. If Customer can reasonably show that the appointment of a new Sub-processor will have a material adverse effect on Paser’s ability to comply with applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, then Customer must promptly notify Paser in writing within fifteen (15) business days thereafter of its reasonable basis for objection to the use of a new Sub-processor. Upon receipt of Customer’s written objection, Customer and Paser will work together without unreasonable delay to recommend an alternative arrangement. If the following conditions apply: a) a mutually acceptable and reasonable alternative arrangement is not found; b) Customer has a termination right under applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, and c) Customer has provided prompt written notice under this Section, then Customer may terminate the Subscription Agreement only with respect to those services that cannot be provided by Paser without the use of the new Sub-processor. Unless prohibited by applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, in the event of such early termination by Customer, Paser can retain or require payment for Services through the end of Customer’s current contract term for the terminated services.
c. Liability. Paser shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Sub-processors to the same extent Paser would be liable if performing the Subscription Services of each Sub-processor directly under the terms of this DPA, except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement.
