1.1 Each party shall comply with its respective obligations under the applicable law and regulation concerning data protection and/or privacy in or relating to the European Union countries and the UK, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) (“GDPR”) and local implementing law or regulations (“Data Protection Legislation”). The terms “process”, “controller”, “processor”, “personal data” and “data subject” shall have the same meaning as in the applicable Data Protection Legislation.
1.2 Subject to section 1.4 of this Annex, the Customer will be the controller of the personal data in the Customer Data (“Personal Data”) and Whyser will be the processor. Whyser shall:
1.2.1 process the Personal Data only to the extent, and in such a manner, as is necessary for performing this agreement and in accordance with the Customer’s written instructions from time to time and shall not process the Personal Data for any other purpose. Where Whyser is required by law to process the Personal Data, Whyser will promptly inform Customer of such legal requirement prior to carrying out the processing, unless it is prohibited from doing so by law;
1.2.2 limit access to Personal Data to those of its authorised personnel who need access to it in order to meet Whyser’s obligations under this agreement, ensure that all such personnel are bound by appropriate obligations of confidentiality and ensure that all such Personal Data is kept separate from any Personal Data of Whyser or of any other client of Whyser;
1.2.3 implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures, to ensure an appropriate level of security with respect to such Personal Data, against accidental, unauthorised or unlawful loss, destruction, alteration, disclosure of or access to such Personal Data; such measures shall be implemented with regard to (a) encryption of Personal Data; (b) back-up and disaster recovery arrangements; (c) the ability to ensure ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of the IT infrastructure and environment; and (d) the regular testing and evaluation of the effectiveness of such measures. In particular, Whyser shall, in providing the Services, follow and comply with the data privacy and security measures set out in its Privacy Policy in connection with the Personal Data;
1.2.4 only engages sub-processors in accordance with section 3 of this Annex;
1.2.5 promptly notify Customer if it receives any complaint, notice or communication which relates to the processing of the Personal Data, or any request from a data subject exercising any rights pursuant to the applicable Data Protection Legislation and reasonably cooperate with and assist Customer in relation to any such complaint, notice communication, or request and shall not disclose any of the Personal Data to any data subject or to a third party other than at the request of Customer, or as provided for in this Data Processing Agreement;
1.2.6 promptly notify Customer if it becomes aware of any unauthorised or unlawful processing, loss of, damage to, disclosure of, access to or destruction of the Personal Data (“Data Breach”) and provide Customer with any co-operation, information and assistance in respect of any Data Breach, reasonably requested by Customer;

1.2.8 Upon reasonable notice, Whyser will make available to the Customer or grant to the Customer and its auditors and agents, a right of access to and to take copies of any information or records kept by Whyser pursuant to this Data Processing Agreement, solely to the extent necessary to demonstrate Whyser’s compliance with the Data Protection Legislation and provided always that this section shall not require Whyser to disclose any confidential information relating to Authorised Users or any other personally identifiable data of Authorised Users save to the extent required by the Data Protection Legislation. In relation to any subprocessors that are engaged pursuant to this agreement, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is sufficient, for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of this section, that Whyser has a right to audit those sub-processors on behalf of the Customer, subject to reasonable restrictions.
1.3 The subject matter and duration of the processing of the Personal Data by Whyser, the nature and purpose of the processing and the type of Personal Data and the categories of data subjects are all as set out in Whyser’s data privacy policy accessible at https://www.whyser.io/privacy-policy/. Whyser may change the policy after the date of this agreement by giving not less than 30 days prior written notice to Customer, provided that Customer may terminate this agreement by giving notice within 14 days of having received such notification if Whyser materially increases the manner or scope in which it processes the Personal Data.
