    2. Subscriber Processing. Subscriber agrees that it will comply with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws in its processing of Subscriber Personal Data and any processing instructions it issues to Obsidian.
    3. Obsidian Processing. Obsidian agrees that (a) when Obsidian processes Subscriber Personal Data in its capacity as a processor on behalf of the Subscriber, Obsidian will (i) comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws, and (ii) process the Subscriber Personal Data as necessary to perform its obligations under the Agreement, and only in accordance with Subscriber’s documented instructions (as set forth in the Agreement, in this DPA, or as directed by the Subscriber or Subscriber’s Authorized Users through the Obsidian Services). Obsidian is not responsible for determining if Subscriber's processing instructions are compliant with applicable law. However, Obsidian shall notify Subscriber in writing if, in its reasonable opinion, the Subscriber's processing instructions infringe Applicable Data Protection Laws and provided that Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber Personal Data may be processed on an automated basis in accordance with Subscribers' use of the Obsidian Services, which Obsidian does not monitor.
    4. Details of Processing. The details of the processing of Subscriber Personal Data by Obsidian are set out in Annex A to the DPA.
  3. Confidentiality. Obsidian shall ensure that any employees or personnel it authorizes to process Subscriber Personal Data is subject to an appropriate duty of confidentiality.
  4. Subprocessing
    1. Authorization. Subscriber provides a general authorization to Obsidian’s use of Subprocessors to process Subscriber Personal Data in accordance with this Section, including those Subprocessors listed in the Documentation or in such other location as Obsidian may notify Subscriber from time to time (the “Subprocessor List”). 
    2. Subprocessor Obligations. Obsidian shall (i) enter into a written agreement with its Subprocessors, which includes data protection and security measures no less protective than the measures set forth in this DPA; and (ii) remain fully liable for any breach of the Agreement and this DPA that is caused by an act, error or omission of its Subprocessors to the extent that Obsidian would have been liable for such act, error or omission had it been caused by Obsidian.
    3. Subprocessor Changes. At least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the date on which any new Subprocessor shall commence processing Subscriber Personal Data, Obsidian shall update the Subprocessor List and individuals who have signed up to receive updates to the Subprocessor List via the mechanism(s) indicated on the Subprocessor List will be notified of that update. 
    4. Subprocessor Objections. Subscriber may object to Obsidian’ appointment of a new Subprocessor on reasonable grounds relating to data protection by notifying Obsidian in writing at compliance@Obsidian.com within ten (10) calendar days after Obsidian’s update of the Subprocessor List pursuant to Section 4.3. In such an event, Obsidian and Subscriber will discuss those objections in good faith with a view to achieving resolution. If the parties are not able to achieve resolution, within thirty (30) calendar days from Subscriber's written notification, Subscriber, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate the Order Form(s) with respect to only those aspects which cannot be provided by Obsidian without the use of the new Subprocessor. Obsidian will provide Subscriber with a pro rata reimbursement of any prepaid, but unused fees of such Order Form(s) following the effective date of such termination. 
  5. Assistance
    1. Data Subject Access Requests. Subscriber is responsible for responding to and complying with data subject requests (“DSAR”). Upon request from Subscriber, Obsidian shall, taking into account the nature of the processing, reasonably cooperate with Subscriber to enable Subscriber to respond to the DSAR. If a data subject sends a DSAR to Obsidian directly and where Subscriber is identified or identifiable from the request, Obsidian will promptly forward such DSAR to Subscriber and Obsidian shall not, unless legally compelled to do so, respond directly to the data subject except to refer them to the Subscriber to allow Subscriber to respond as appropriate. If the Subscriber is not identified or identifiable, Obsidian will notify the data subject that it is a processor and to contact the relevant controller and will not otherwise respond.
    2. Data Protection Impact Assessments. Obsidian will provide reasonably requested information regarding the Obsidian Services to Subscriber to carry out data protection impact assessments relating to the processing of Subscriber Personal Data and any related required consultation with supervisory authorities as required by Applicable Data Protection Laws, so long as Subscriber does not otherwise have access to the relevant information.
    3. Legal Requests. If Obsidian receives a subpoena, court order, warrant or other legal demand from law enforcement or any public or judicial authority seeking the disclosure of Subscriber Personal Data, Obsidian will attempt to redirect the governmental body to request such Subscriber Personal Data directly from Subscriber. As part of this effort, Obsidian may provide Subscriber’s basic contact information to the governmental body. If compelled to disclose Subscriber Personal Data to a governmental body, Obsidian will give Subscriber reasonable notice of the legal demand to allow Subscriber to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, unless Obsidian is legally prohibited from doing so.
  6. Security
    1. Security Measures. As set forth in the Documentation and provided in the Agreement, Obsidian has implemented the Security Policies. The Security Policies are subject to technical progress and development and Obsidian may update the Security Policies, provided that any updates shall not materially diminish the overall security of Subscriber Personal Data or the Obsidian Services. Obsidian may make available certain security controls within the Obsidian Services that Subscriber may use in accordance with the Documentation. 
    2. Security Breach Notification. In the event of a Security Breach, Obsidian will (a) notify Subscriber in writing without undue delay and in no event later than seventy-two (72) hours after becoming aware of the Security Breach; and (b) promptly take reasonable steps to contain, investigate, and mitigate any adverse effects resulting from the Security Breach. Obsidian will reasonably cooperate with and assist Subscriber with respect to any required notification to supervisory authorities or data subjects (as applicable), taking into account the nature of the processing, the information available to Obsidian, and any restrictions on disclosing the information (such as confidentiality).
  7. Audits and Records
    1. Audit Program. Upon written request and at no additional cost to Subscriber, Obsidian shall provide Subscriber, and/or its appropriately qualified third-party representative, access to reasonably requested documentation evidencing Obsidian compliance with its obligations under this DPA in the form of the relevant audits or certifications listed in the Security Policies. Such audits are performed at least once annually by independent third party security professionals selected by Obsidian. Such audits result in the generation of a confidential audit report (“Audit Report”).
    2. Audit. Only to the extent Subscriber cannot reasonably satisfy Obsidian compliance with this DPA through the Audit Reports, or where required by Applicable Data Protection Laws, Subscriber may send a written request to conduct an audit of Obsidian applicable controls on an annual basis. Obsidian and Subscriber shall mutually agree on the details of the audit, including the reasonable start date, scope and duration of, and security and confidentiality controls applicable to, any such audit. The Audit Report, audit, and any information arising therefrom shall be considered Obsidian Confidential Information and may only be shared with a third party (including a third party controller) with Obsidian prior written agreement.
  8. Transfer of Personal Data
    1. Restricted Transfers. Where the transfer of Subscriber Personal Data to Obsidian is a Restricted Transfer, such transfer shall be governed by (i) the Data Privacy Framework so long as the Data Privacy Framework has not been invalidated and Obsidian is certified; or (ii) the Standard Contractual Clauses, which shall be deemed incorporated into and form an integral part of the Agreement in accordance with Annex B of this DPA.
    2. Alternative Transfer Mechanisms. If and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction or a supervisory authority with binding authority orders (for whatever reason) that the measures described in this DPA cannot be relied on to lawfully transfer Subscriber Personal Data to Obsidian, the parties shall reasonably cooperate to agree and take any actions that may be reasonably required to implement any additional measures or alternative transfer mechanism to enable the lawful transfer of such Subscriber Personal Data, such alternative transfer mechanism shall apply instead of the SCCs described in Section 8.1 of this DPA (but only to the extent such alternative transfer mechanism complies with applicable European Data Protection Laws and extends to the territories to which Subscriber Personal Data is transferred).
  9. Deletion and Return. Obsidian will assist Subscriber in deleting or retrieving Subscriber Personal Data upon written request in accordance with the functionality of the Services. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement  Obsidian will delete any Subscriber Personal Data within its possession or control within seven (7) days following the effective date of such termination or expiration, unless a different period is specified in the applicable Order Form. 
  10. CCPA Compliance. Obsidian shall not process, retain, use, or disclose Subscriber Personal Data for any purpose other than for the purposes set out in the Agreement, DPA and as permitted under the CCPA. Obsidian shall not sell or share information as those terms are defined under the CCPA. 
  11. General
    1. The parties agree that this DPA shall replace any existing data processing addendum, attachment, exhibit or standard contractual clauses that the parties may have previously entered into in connection with the Obsidian Services. Obsidian will provide no less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice of any change to this DPA, unless prior notice is not practicable due to a conflict in applicable law or regulation or other changes outside of Obsidian’s reasonable control. Notice of such changes shall be given in the manner set forth in the Agreement. If any part of this DPA is held unenforceable, the validity of all remaining parts will not be affected. 
    2. Obsidian’s obligations set forth in this DPA shall also extend to Authorized Affiliates, subject to the following conditions: (a) Subscriber is solely responsible for communicating any additional processing instructions on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates; (b) Subscriber shall be responsible for Authorized Affiliates’ compliance with this DPA and all acts and/or omissions by an Authorized Affiliate with respect to Subscriber’s obligations under this DPA; and (c) if an Authorized Affiliate seeks to assert a legal demand, action, suit, claim, proceeding or otherwise against Obsidian (“Authorized Affiliate Claim”), Subscriber must bring such Authorized Affiliate Claim directly against Obsidian on behalf of such Authorized Affiliate, unless Applicable Data Protection Laws require the Authorized Affiliate be a party to such claim, and all Authorized Affiliate Claims shall be considered claims made by Subscriber and shall be subject to any liability restrictions set forth in the Agreement, including any aggregate limitation of liability. In no event will this DPA or any party restrict or limit the rights of any data subject or of any competent supervisory authority.
    3. In the event of any conflict between this DPA and any data privacy provisions set out in any agreements between the parties relating to the Obsidian Services, the parties agree that the terms of this DPA shall prevail, provided that if and to the extent the Standard Contractual Clauses conflict with any provision of this DPA, the Standard Contractual Clauses control and take precedence.  
    4. This DPA will be governed by and construed in accordance with the governing law and jurisdiction provisions in the Agreement, unless required otherwise by Applicable Data Protection Laws. 
    5. The obligations placed upon each party under this DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses shall survive so long as Obsidian processes Subscriber Personal Data on behalf of Subscriber.
