Both Parties agree to be bound by the terms outlined in this Agreement.
This Data Processing Agreement serves as an addition to the Master Service Agreement (MSA) or Terms and Conditions (T&C) between the Parties. It is understood that this Agreement will adhere to the terms of the MSA.
Background

  3. The Data Processor shall immediately notify the Company of any requests received from Data Subjects regarding personal data.
  4. The Data Processor shall refrain from responding to Data Subject requests unless explicitly authorized by the Company or required by applicable law.
Personal data breach

If such a transfer is authorized, the Parties agree to implement standard contractual clauses or other EU-approved mechanisms to ensure personal data is adequately protected.
