Such updates to the Security Measures will be made available to Customer upon its reasonable request.

5.3    Personnel

Dataweavers shall take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of any employee, agent, contractor or Subprocessor who may have access to Customer Data, ensuring that access is strictly limited on a least-privilege basis to those individuals who need to know or need to have access to Customer Data as is necessary for the provision of the Services under the Agreement.

5.4    Customer Responsibilities

Notwithstanding the above, Customer agrees that except as provided by this DPA, Customer is responsible for its secure use of the Services, including securing its account authentication credentials, protecting the security of Customer Data when in transit to and from the Services and taking any appropriate steps to securely encrypt or backup any Customer Data uploaded to the Services.

5.5    Sufficient Evidence

Upon the reasonable request of Customer, Dataweavers shall provide Customer with sufficient information to enable Customer to demonstrate that the necessary technical and organizational security measures (as further detailed in Annex A) have been implemented.

Dataweavers shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer, in the event Customer is required under Data Protection Laws to notify a supervisory authority or any Data Subjects of a Security Incident. Dataweavers reserves the right to charge Customer for this assistance should it become overly burdensome.

6.    Reports and Audit

6.1    Upon Customer’s request, Dataweavers will make available a statement from its Security Team containing all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA (a “Dataweavers Report”) and any documentation pursuant to Section 10.1.

1. Customer reasonably believes that Dataweavers is out of compliance with this DPA, or
2. Customer is subject to a regulatory audit or government investigation or court order that includes the scope of this DPA. Any on-site audit will be conducted during normal business hours, at a date and time as mutually agreed between the Parties, and only if such an audit at Dataweavers’ premises is necessary to prove facts or otherwise demonstrate applicable compliance that Dataweavers cannot otherwise evidence through a Dataweavers Report, questionnaires, phone conferences, third-party certification programs or third- party audit reports.

7.1    Data Centre locations. Dataweavers shall store Customer Data only in the selected Azure data centre region/s outlined in Schedule 2 of the Dataweavers Managed Services Agreement (“Agreement”) unless notified otherwise. For sake of clarity, Dataweavers makes no warranties for the appropriateness of a selected data centre.

7.2    Data Transfers. If applicable, Dataweavers will at all times ensure that any Customer Data which is transferred is done so in compliance with adequate transfer mechanisms. Further, Dataweavers will ensure that an adequate level of protection is provided for the Customer Data Processed, and that processing is done in accordance with the requirements of Data Protection Laws.

7.3    Standard Contractual Clauses. The Parties agree that the Standard Contractual Clauses shall be the adequate transfer mechanism pursuant to Section 7.3 above and apply to Customer Data that is transferred from the EEA and/or Switzerland to outside the EEA and Switzerland, either directly or via onward transfer, to any country or recipient not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data (as described in the Data Protection Laws).

8.    Return or Deletion of Data

8.1    Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, Customer may, within 30 days of the contract expiration date, require Dataweavers to:

1. return a complete copy of all Customer Data to Customer, at Customer’s expense and within a commercially reasonable time, by secure file transfer in an industry-standard file format and/ or
2. delete and procure the deletion of all other copies of Customer Data Processed by any Processor or Subprocessor, provided that Dataweavers may retain Customer Data in a manner that restricts further processing solely to the extent that it may be necessary to comply with applicable law. Dataweavers shall comply with any such written request within 30 days of the Agreement’s termination date.

9.    Privacy Rights

9.1    To the extent that Customer is unable to independently access the relevant Customer Data within the Services, Dataweavers shall provide reasonable and timely cooperation to assist Customer to respond to any requests from individuals or applicable data protection authorities relating to the Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement. In the case of complex or voluminous enquiries that can be managed by Customer through access within the Services but where Customer is requesting additional assistance beyond Dataweavers’ compliance requirements, Dataweavers reserves the right to charge Customer for reasonable expenses. In the event that any such request is made directly to Dataweavers, a Dataweavers Affiliate or any Subprocessor, Dataweavers shall not respond to such communication directly without Customer's prior authorization, unless legally compelled to do so. If Dataweavers is required to respond to such a request, Dataweavers will promptly notify Customer and provide it with a copy of the request unless legally prohibited from doing so.

9.2    If a law enforcement agency sends Dataweavers a demand for Customer Data (for example, through a subpoena or court order), Dataweavers will attempt to redirect the law enforcement agency to request that data directly from Customer. As part of this effort, Dataweavers may provide Customer’s basic contact information to the law enforcement agency. If compelled to disclose Customer Data to a law enforcement agency, then Dataweavers will give Customer reasonable notice of the demand to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless Dataweavers is legally prohibited from doing so.

9.3    Dataweavers shall, upon Customer request and at Customer’s expense, provide reasonable assistance to Customer needed to fulfil any Customer obligation under the applicable Data Protection Laws to perform any data protection impact assessments. Dataweavers shall, upon Customer request, provide reasonable assistance to Customer in any prior consultations with supervising authorities or other competent data privacy authorities, which Customer reasonably considers to be required of Customer under Data Protection Laws.
