Obligations
Addatech will:
- Process Personal Data only on the written instructions of the Subscriber. Addatech’s Terms of Use and the DPA are the Subscriber’s written instructions for this purpose. The Subscriber warrants that it is and will remain authorized to give these instructions, as well as any future instructions regarding the Processing of Personal Data, and that the Subscriber’s instructions will comply with the GDPR;
- not transfer Personal Data to a country outside the European Union, the EEA or the United Kingdom, except where such third country provides appropriate safeguards by way of an adequacy decision or where the recipient of the Personal Data provides appropriate safeguards through adherence to an approved certification framework, Standard Contractual Clauses or binding corporate rules, or other legal mechanisms are in place to safeguard the Personal Data being transferred;
- ensure that persons authorized to Process the Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality;
- implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of the Personal Data (including, but not limited to, pseudonymization, encryption, incident management, restoration and access controls), and will regularly monitor compliance with these measures;
- use only sub-processors who maintain at least the same level of security measures and adequate safeguards as required under this DPA and who have entered a written agreement, electronic or otherwise, with Addatech requiring such measures and safeguards. We will inform the Subscriber of any intended changes to its sub-processors. If a sub-processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations, Addatech will be liable for the performance of such obligations;
- notify the Subscriber, within reasonable time, after becoming aware of a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data processed by Addatech, and take all steps reasonably within Addatech’s control to mitigate and remediate the breach;
- meet its obligations under the GDPR to assist the Subscriber, insofar as this is possible and at the expense of the Subscriber, to:

- meet the Subscriber’s legal obligations with respect to breach notification, data protection impact assessments, or the cooperation or prior consultation with a supervisory authority with respect to Personal Data Processed by Addatech;
- upon request of the Subscriber, either delete or return Personal Data after completion of Services relating to the Processing, subject to any legal or regulatory obligations to maintain or store the Personal Data; and
- provide the Subscriber with all information necessary to demonstrate Addatech’s compliance with the GDPR, and contribute to audits or inspections to be conducted by or on behalf of the Subscriber no more than once in any calendar year, unless an additional audit is required by the GDPR or regulatory authority, or is reasonably necessary due to genuine concerns regarding our compliance with this DPA. The Subscriber will provide reasonable advance notice of any audit and will abide by Addatech’s reasonable security requirements. Addatech may charge for any time expended for such audit or inspection at our then-current hourly rates.
