In some circumstances, Customer may additionally or alternatively be a Processor, in which case Customer appoints Cymulate as an authorised sub-processor, which shall not change the obligations of the parties under this Addendum as Cymulate will remain a Processor in any such event.

In which case, Cymulate shall notify Customer if, in its opinion, any instruction infringes the Data Protection Legislation or other Union or Member State data protection provisions, unless that law prohibits such notification.

3. Confidentiality

Without prejudice to any existing contractual arrangements between the parties, Cymulate shall ensure that any person who it authorizes to Process the Personal Data on its behalf, shall be subject to a duty of confidentiality that shall survive the termination of their employment and/or contractual relationship.

4. Security

Taken into account the measures required by Article 32 of the GDPR, and the state of the art, the costs of implementation and nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural person, Cymulate shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security of the Processing of Personal Data appropriate to the risk. Such measures are detailed under Exhibit 2 and may be updated by Cymulate from time to time, provided that such updates shall not materially decrease the protection of Personal Data for Data Subjects.

5. Sub-processing

If, within 14 calendar days of receipt of that notice, Customer notifies Cymulate in writing of any objections made on reasonable grounds, to the proposed appointment of a New Sub-Processor, the parties will endeavour to agree (acting reasonably), without undue delay, the commercially reasonable steps to be taken to ensure that the new Sub-processors is compliant with Article 28(4) of the GDPR. In the absence of a resolution, Cymulate will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with the same level of service described in the Agreement, without using the objected Sub-Processor to Process Customer’s Personal Data.

5.3. Where the Customer reasonably argues that the risks involved with the Sub-processing activities are still unacceptable, in the context of Article 28(4) and in relation to the appropriate steps, within the requisite time frame, and the parties are unable to resolve the issues within such time frame, Customer’s sole remedy will be to terminate the Agreement.
