4.1. When Briseide Processes Personal Data for or on behalf of the Customer, Briseide agrees to Process Personal Data solely to the extent necessary for the purpose of providing the Services and in accordance with the Customer’s documented instructions set out in the Terms and Conditions and this DPA. Briseide shall not permit the Processing of the Personal Data for any other purpose unless required by Applicable Laws, in such a case Briseide shall inform the Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits the provision of such information. If Briseide believes the Customer’s instructions may conflict with the requirements of the Data Protection Legislation, Briseide shall immediately notify the Customer and shall be entitled to cease processing Customer Data until the infringing instruction is a) withdrawn, or b) amended to render it lawful.
4.2. Personnel. Briseide shall ensure that all personnel who have access to and/or Process Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
4.3. Co-operation and Assistance. Briseide shall at the Customer’s expense provide reasonable co-operation and assistance in relation to the Customer’s obligations and rights under Data Protection Legislation, including: (1) in responding to any request from a Data Subject; and (2) in ensuring compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation, including, but not limited to, security, personal data breach notifications, impact assessments, and consultations with and requests from competent authorities or regulators.
4.4. Retention and Return of Personal Data. On termination of the Terms and Conditions, Briseide shall, at the Customer’s written request, delete or return all Personal Data and copies thereof to the Customer unless storage of the Personal Data is required by Applicable Laws (and, if so, Briseide shall inform the Customer of any such requirement).
4.5. Inspection and Audit Rights. Briseide shall a) make available to the Customer all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate Briseide’s compliance with this DPA, and b) subject to the provisions of clause 4.6 below, allow an inspection by Customer or an independent auditor mandated by the Customer (“Mandated Auditor”) of any premises where the Processing of Customer Data takes place solely for the purpose of assessing compliance with this DPA, and will permit reasonable access to relevant records, processes, and systems for this purpose.
4.6. The audit rights set out in Clause 4.5 are subject to the following conditions: a) audits may only occur once per calendar year and during normal business hours; b) before the commencement of an audit, Customer and Briseide will mutually agree upon the scope, timing (Briseide requires not less than 30 Business Days’ notice of audits), duration, control and evidence requirements, and Briseide’s fees for the audit, provided that this requirement to agree will not permit Briseide to unreasonably delay performance of the audit; c) audits will be conducted in a manner that does not have any adverse impact on Briseide’s normal business operations; d) Customer and/or the Mandated Auditor will comply with Briseide’s standard safety, confidentiality, and security policies and procedures in conducting any audits and shall not have access to any proprietary or third party information or data; and e) any records, data, or information accessed by the Customer and/or the Mandated Auditor in the performance of any audit will be deemed to be the confidential information of Briseide, and may be used for no other reason than to assess Briseide’s compliance with the terms of this DPA (in connection with the foregoing, Briseide may require the Customer and/or the Mandated Auditor to enter into a customary confidentiality agreement prior to the performance of any audit). Briseide may object to a Mandated Auditor if the auditor is, in Briseide’s reasonable opinion, not suitably qualified or independent, a competitor of Briseide, or otherwise manifestly unsuitable. Any such objection by Briseide will require the Customer to appoint an alternative auditor or conduct the audit itself in accordance with the terms of this Clause.
5. SUB-PROCESSORS
5.1. Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Briseide may engage Sub-processors in connection with the performance of the Services, including processing Customer Data. A list of Sub-processors engaged by Briseide at the date of this DPA is available at https://glassfy.io Sub-processors will be obliged under a written contract (a) to comply with Data Protection Legislation, and (b) to provide at least the same level of data protection as is required by this DPA. Any changes concerning the addition or replacement of Sub-processors will be published on https://glassfy.io. The Customer may object to Briseide’s use of a new Sub-processor by notifying Briseide in writing of its objective reasons within five (5) business days of notification. In the event that the Customer objects to a new Sub-processor, Briseide will use reasonable efforts to make available to the Customer a change in the Services to avoid processing of Customer Data by the objected-to Sub-processor. If Briseide is unable to make such a change within a reasonable period of time, the Customer may terminate the Terms and Conditions with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by Briseide without the use of the objected-to Sub-processor by providing written notice to Briseide.

8. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA
8.1. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that in the performance of the Services, Briseide may transfer Customer Data outside of the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (as applicable).
