8.7.    The Client agrees that, with respect to Personal Data, it is best able to determine the likely consequences of a Data Incident and any notifications it may require, whether to a Supervisory Authority or to affected Client Users. The Client will provide PragmaCharge with any copies, referencing PragmaCharge, required to be sent to any Supervisory Authority or Client User prior to submission, and will implement any reasonable modifications required by PragmaCharge for factual accuracy.
8.8.    PragmaCharge's notification under this Clause 8 shall not be construed as an admission by PragmaCharge of any fault or liability in respect of the Data Incident.

9.    SUBPROCESSING
9.1.    PragmaCharge will not engage a third party to process personal data without the Client's prior specific or general written authorization.
9.2.    The Client consents, by means of a general authorization, to PragmaCharge appointing any third party processor of personal data as part of its common technological and service infrastructure for the eTaaS and the general provision of its services (see the URL in the Processing Details for an updated list).

9.4.    PragmaCharge will inform the Client of any additional or substitute sub-processors of the Personal Data by updating the sub-processor list at the URL in the Processing Details (Change of Sub-processor).
9.5.    Any objection to a Sub-processor Change must be raised by the Client within 14 days of notification, stating the reasons, to privacy@pragmacharge.com. The Client acknowledges that eTaaS is a common infrastructure product provided to many clients and will therefore seek to be reasonable in any objection raised.
9.6.    If Customer objects pursuant to Section 9.5, PragmaCharge will use reasonable efforts to make available a commercially reasonable change to the configuration of the eTaaS Services at Customer's cost and expense that prevents the use of such proposed sub-processor.
9.7.    Where a commercially reasonable change under clause 9.6 is not practicable for one of the following reasons: (i) the change to eTaaS cannot be made within 90 days of PragmaCharge receiving notice from the Customer; ( ii ) no commercially reasonable change to eTaaS is practicable; and/or ( iii ) the Customer refuses to bear the cost of the proposed change, then either Party may, by written notice to the other Party with immediate effect, partially terminate the MA to the extent that it relates to the provision of that part of eTaaS requiring the use of the proposed sub-processor.

11.3.    If any government agency sends PragmaCharge a request for data that may include Personal Data, PragmaCharge will attempt to redirect the government agency to request it directly from the Customer. To do so, PragmaCharge will provide the Customer's basic contact information to the government agency.

12.4.    If any Applicable Law requires PragmaCharge to retain any Personal Data that PragmaCharge would otherwise be required to return or destroy under clauses 12.1 to 12.3, it may do so.

Customer will use its reasonable efforts (and ensure that its designated auditor does so as well) to avoid causing damage, injury or disruption to PragmaCharge’s facilities, equipment, personnel, data and business (including any interference with the confidentiality or security of data of other PragmaCharge customers or the availability of eTaaS systems to other customers) during the audit of the Records.
13.4.    If necessary to comply with European Data Protection Laws and subject to the Client reimbursing PragmaCharge for all costs incurred and time spent, PragmaCharge will contribute to an audit conducted under clause 13.3.

14.    DATA TRANSFERS
14.1.    Adequate Country means, for personal data processed under European Data Protection Laws, a country that is subject to an adequacy decision under applicable European Data Protection Laws.

By entering into the AM Contract and this DTP, the Parties shall be deemed to have signed the Data Transfer Mechanism, incorporating this DTP.
14.5.    For the purposes of the Transfer Mechanism: (a) the Transmitting Party shall act as the data exporter; and (b) the Recipient shall act as the data importer.
14.6.    The information required for the purposes of Annexes I to IV of the EU CEC and Tables 1-3 of Part 1 of the UK Appendix is that contained in the treatment data.
14.7.    For each EU SCC module, where applicable, the following applies: (a) the optional coupling clause in clause 7 applies; (b) in clause 9, option 2 (general written authorisation) applies.

In such circumstances, general and specific references in the EU SCCs to the GDPR or EU or Member State law shall have the same meaning as the equivalent reference in the Swiss FADP.
14.10.    If the Data Transfer Mechanism is insufficient to safeguard the transferred Personal Data, the data importer shall promptly implement additional measures to ensure that the Personal Data are protected to the same level as required by data protection legislation.
14.11.    In the absence of appropriate safeguards required by Clause 14.2, the Parties shall comply with European data protection law in respect of any transfer of Personal Data or Relationship Management Data, including Article 49 of the UK GDPR.
14.12.    Subject to Clause 11 and the terms of the relevant Data Transfer Mechanism (and in the event of a conflict between Clause 11 and the terms of the relevant Data Transfer Mechanism, the Data Transfer Mechanism shall prevail), if the data importer receives a request from a public authority to access Personal Data, it shall (if legally permitted): (a) contest the request and notify the data exporter, and (b) disclose to the public authority only the minimum amount of Personal Data required and keep a record of the disclosure.
14.13.    The Parties acknowledge that the interested party may invoke the Transfer Mechanism against the Parties.
