Customer instructs and authorizes Butter to Process Customer Personal Data for the purposes set out in the Agreement (as further described in Annex 1 (Data Processing Details) to the DPA). The Agreement is a complete expression of such instructions, and Customer’s additional instructions will be binding on Butter only pursuant to any written amendment to this DPA signed by both Parties.

Butter shall implement and maintain technical and organizational measures in relation to Customer Personal Data designed to protect Customer Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of or access as described in Annex 4 (Security Measures) (the “Security Measures”).  
  3. Data Subject Rights. Butter, taking into account the nature of the Processing of Customer Personal Data, shall provide Customer with such assistance as may be reasonably necessary and technically feasible to assist Customer in fulfilling its obligations to respond to Data Subject Requests. If Butter receives a Data Subject Request, Customer will be responsible for responding to any such request.

PERSONAL DATA BREACHES

  1. Notifications. Butter shall notify Customer without undue delay upon Butter’s confirmation of a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data. Butter shall provide Customer with information (insofar as such information is within Butter’s possession and knowledge and does not otherwise compromise the security of any Personal Data Processed by Butter) to allow Customer to meet its obligations under the Applicable Data Protection Laws to report the Personal Data Breach. Butter’s notification of or response to a Personal Data Breach shall not be construed as Butter’s acknowledgement of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach. As between the Parties, unless and to the extent such Personal Data Breach affects any Personal Data Processed under Section 2.3, Customer is solely responsible for complying with applicable laws (including notification laws), and fulfilling any third-party notification obligations, related to any Personal Data Breaches.
  2. Consultation with Butter. If Customer determines that a Personal Data Breach suffered by Butter or a Sub-Processor affecting Customer Personal Data must be notified to any Supervisory Authority, any other governmental authority, any Data Subject(s), the public or others under Applicable Data Protection Laws or otherwise, to the extent such notice directly or indirectly refers to or identifies Butter, where permitted by applicable laws, Customer agrees to: (a) notify Butter in advance; and (b) in good faith, consult with Butter and consider any clarifications or corrections Butter may reasonably recommend or request to any such notice, which: (i) relate to Butter’s involvement in or relevance to such Personal Data Breach; and (ii) are consistent with applicable laws.

If, within ten (10) days of receipt of that notice, Customer notifies Butter in writing of any objections to the proposed appointment (made in good faith based upon evidenced concerns that the use of that proposed Sub-Processor would cause Customer to be in material and unavoidable breach of Applicable Data Protection Laws): (a) Butter shall use reasonable efforts to make available a commercially reasonable change in the provision of the Services, which avoids the use of that proposed Sub-Processor; and (b) where: (i) such a change cannot be made within thirty (30) days from Butter’s receipt of Customer’s notice; (ii) no commercially reasonable change is available; and/or (iii) Customer declines to bear the cost of the proposed change, then Butter may terminate the Agreement without liability to Customer beyond reimbursing any pre-paid fees on a pro-rated basis.
