  2. The parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the Data Protection Laws, the Customer is the Controller and Matta is the Processor. Appendix A sets out the scope, nature and purpose of processing by Matta, the duration of the processing and the types of Personal Data and categories of Data Subject.
  3. Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph 2(a), the Customer will ensure that it has all necessary appropriate consents and notices in place to enable lawful transfer of the Personal Data to Matta for the duration and purposes of this agreement.
  4. Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph 2(a), Matta shall, in relation to any Personal Data processed in connection with the performance by Matta of its obligations under this agreement:
    1. process that Personal Data only on the documented written instructions of the Customer unless Matta is required by applicable laws to otherwise process that Personal Data. Where Matta is relying on applicable laws as the basis for processing Personal Data, Matta shall promptly notify the Customer of this before performing the processing required unless applicable laws prohibit Matta from so notifying the Customer;
    2. ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organisational measures, reviewed and approved by the Customer, to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of Personal Data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Personal Data, appropriate to the harm that might result from the unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the data to be protected, having regard to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures (those measures may include, where appropriate, pseudonymising and encrypting Personal Data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services, ensuring that availability of and access to Personal Data can be restored in a timely manner after an incident, and regularly assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organisational measures adopted by it);
    3. ensure that all personnel who have access to and/or process Personal Data are obliged to keep the Personal Data confidential;
    4. not transfer any Personal Data outside of the UK or EEA unless the following conditions are fulfilled: (a) the Customer or Matta has provided appropriate safeguards in relation to the transfer; (b) the data subject has enforceable rights and effective legal remedies; and (c) Matta complies with its obligations under the Data Protection Laws by providing an adequate level of protection to any Personal Data that is transferred;

    6. notify the Customer without undue delay on becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach;
    7. at the written direction of the Customer, delete or return Personal Data and copies thereof to the Customer on termination of the Agreement unless required by Data Protection Laws to store the Personal Data (and any such return shall be through the process set out in clause 11(d) of the Agreement whereby the Customer may export its Customer Data); and
    8. maintain complete and accurate records and information to demonstrate its compliance with this paragraph 2(d) and allow for audits by the Customer or the Customer's designated auditor and immediately inform the Customer if, in the opinion of Matta, an instruction infringes the Data Protection Laws.
  5. The Customer hereby provides its prior, general authorisation for Matta to appoint processors to process the Personal Data, provided that Matta:
    1. shall ensure that the terms on which it appoints such processors comply with applicable Data Protection Laws, and are consistent with the obligations imposed on Matta in this paragraph 2;
    2. shall remain responsible for the acts and omission of any such processor as if they were the acts and omissions of Matta; and
    3. shall inform the Customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of the processors, thereby giving the Customer the opportunity to object to such changes provided that if the Customer objects to the changes and cannot demonstrate, to Matta's reasonable satisfaction, that the objection is due to an actual or likely breach of applicable Data Protection Law, the Customer shall indemnify Matta for any losses, damages, costs (including legal fees) and expenses suffered by the Supplier in accommodating the objection.
  6. Matta may only process, or permit the processing, of the Personal Data outside the UK or EEA under the following conditions:
    1. Matta is processing the Personal Data in a territory which is subject to adequacy regulations under the Data Protection Laws that the territory provides adequate protection for the privacy rights of individuals; or
    2. Matta participates in a valid cross-border transfer mechanism under the Data Protection Laws, so that Matta (and, where appropriate, the Customer) can ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure an adequate level of protection with respect to the privacy rights of individuals as required by Article 46 of the UK GDPR and EU GDPR; or
    3. the transfer otherwise complies with the Data Protection Laws.
  7. If any Personal Data transfer between the Customer and Matta requires execution of SCCs in order to comply with the Data Protection Laws, the parties will complete all relevant details in, and execute, the SCCs contained in Appendix B, and take all other actions required to legitimise the transfer.
  8. Matta may, at any time on not less than 30 (thirty) days’ notice, revise Appendix B by replacing it with any applicable controller to processor standard clauses or similar terms adopted under the Data Protection Laws or forming part of an applicable certification scheme (which shall apply when replaced by attachment to this agreement).
