2.1.2 with regard to any Processing of Personal Data obtained by Gett directly from a Service User, Gett is an independent controller of such Personal Data and paragraphs 11 and 12 shall apply.
Processor Obligations
2.2 Customer’s Processing of Personal Data. Customer’s instructions to Gett in respect of the Registration and De-registration of Service Users shall comply with Data Protection Laws including but not limited to ensuring that it has any and all required legal bases in order to collect, Process and transfer to Gett the Personal Data, and to authorize the Processing by Gett on Customer’s behalf, including the pursuit of ‘business purposes’ as defined under the CCPA.
2.3 Gett’s Processing of Personal Data.
2.3.1 When Processing on Customer’s behalf under the Agreement, Gett shall Process Personal Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions unless required under the laws applicable to Gett, and/or as required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent governmental or semi-governmental authority, provided that Gett shall inform Customer of the legal requirement before Processing, unless such law or order prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest.
2.3.2 Gett shall inform Customer without undue delay if, in Gett’s opinion, an instruction for the Processing of Personal Data given by Customer infringes applicable Data Protection Laws.
2.3.3 To the extent that Gett cannot comply with an instruction from Customer, Gett: (i) shall inform Customer, providing relevant details of the issue; and (ii) may, without liability to Customer, temporarily cease all Processing of the affected Personal Data (other than securely storing such data) and/or suspend Customer’s access to the Services. Upon receipt of the written notice in this paragraph 2.3.3(i) if the Parties do not agree on a resolution to the issue in question and the costs thereof, Customer may, as its sole remedy, terminate the Agreement the subject of the affected Processing, and Customer shall pay to Gett all Charges and other sums that were incurred under or in connection with such Agreement before the date of termination and which remains unpaid as at termination. Customer will have no further claims against Gett (including, requesting refunds for Services) as a result of or in connection with the termination of the Agreement pursuant to this paragraph.
2.3.4 Upon Customer’s reasonable request, Gett shall provide Customer, at Customer’s cost, with reasonable cooperation and assistance needed to fulfil Customer’s obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws to carry out a data protection impact assessment related to the Registration and De-registration of Service Users, to the extent Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information, and to the extent such information is available to Gett. Gett shall provide, at Customer’s cost, reasonable assistance to Customer in the cooperation or prior consultation with the Supervisory Authority in the performance of its tasks relating to this paragraph 2.3.4, to the extent required under the GDPR or the UK GDPR, as applicable.
2.4 Details of the Processing. The details of the Processing of Personal Data by Gett as a Processor are set out in Appendix 1 (Details of Processing) to this DPA.
2.5 Sensitive Data. The parties agree that the Services are not intended for the Processing of Sensitive Data, and that if Customer wishes to use the Services to Process Sensitive Data, it must first obtain Gett’s explicit prior written consent and enter into any additional agreements as required by Gett.
2.6 CCPA Standard of Care; No Sale of Personal Information. Processor acknowledges and confirms that it does not receive or process any Personal Information as consideration for any services or other items that Processor provides to Customer under the Agreement. Processor shall not have, derive, or exercise any rights or benefits regarding Personal Information Processed on Customer’s behalf, and may use and disclose Personal Information solely for the purposes for which such Personal Information was provided to it, as stipulated in the Agreement and this DPA. Processor certifies that it understands the rules, requirements and definitions of the CCPA and agrees to refrain from selling (as such term is defined in the CCPA) any Personal Information Processed hereunder without Customer’s prior written consent, nor taking any action that would cause any transfer of Personal Information to or from Processor under the Agreement or this DPA to qualify as “selling” such Personal Information under the CCPA.
3. DATA SUBJECT REQUESTS
Gett shall, to the extent legally permitted, notify Customer or refer Data Subject or Consumer to Customer, if Processor receives a request from a Data Subject or Consumer to exercise their rights (to the extent available to them under applicable Data Protection Laws) of access, right to rectification, restriction of Processing, erasure, data portability, objection to the Processing, their right not to be subject to automated individual decision making, to opt-out of the sale of Personal Information, or the right not to be discriminated against (“Data Subject Request”). Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Gett shall assist Customer by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible and reasonable, for the fulfilment of Customer’s obligation to respond to a Data Subject Request under Data Protection Laws. Gett may refer Data Subject Requests received, and the Data Subjects making them, directly to the Customer for its treatment of such Data Subject Requests.

Customer shall ensure that such written objection shall include the reasons for objecting to Gett’s use of such new Sub-processor. Failure to object to such new Sub-processor in writing within seven (7) days following Gett’s notice shall be deemed as acceptance of the new Sub-Processor. In the event Customer reasonably objects to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentences, Gett will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening the Customer. the termination date with respect to the Processing at issue shall be duly paid to Gett. Until a decision is made regarding the new Sub-processor, Gett may temporarily suspend the Processing of the affected Personal Data and/or suspend access to the Customer’s account applicable to the affected Agreement.

6.3 Upon Gett’s request, Customer shall return all records or documentation in Customer’s possession or control provided by Gett in the context of the audit and/or the inspection.

This includes having in place and maintaining network protection intended to deny attackers the ability to intercept data and encryption of Personal Data whilst in transit and at rest intended to deny attackers the ability to read data.
b. The Processor will make commercially reasonable efforts to resist, subject to applicable laws, any request for bulk surveillance relating to the Personal Data protected under GDPR or the UK GDPR, including under section 702 of the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (“FISA”);
c. If the Processor becomes aware that any government authority (including law enforcement) wishes to obtain access to or a copy of some or all of the Personal Data, whether on a voluntary or a mandatory basis, then unless legally prohibited or under a mandatory legal compulsion that requires otherwise:
I. The Processor shall inform the relevant government authority that the Processor is a processor of the Personal Data and that the Controller has not authorized the Processor to disclose the Personal Data to the government authority, and inform the relevant government authority that any and all requests or demands for access to the Personal Data should therefore be notified to or served upon the Controller in writing;
II. The Processor will use commercially reasonable legal mechanisms to challenge any such demand for access to Personal Data which is under the Processor’s control. Notwithstanding the above, (a) the Controller acknowledges that such challenge may not always be reasonable or possible in light of the nature, scope, context and purposes of the intended government authority access, and (b) if, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the intended government authority access to Personal Data, the Processor has a reasonable and good-faith belief that urgent access is necessary to prevent an imminent risk of serious harm to any individual or entity, this subsection (e)(II) shall not apply. In such event, the Processor shall notify the Controller, as soon as possible, following the access by the government authority, and provide the Controller with relevant details of the same, unless and to the extent legally prohibited to do so.
2. Once in every 12-month period, the Processor will inform the Controller, at the Controller’s written request, of the types of binding legal demands for Personal Data it has received and solely to the extent such demands have been received, including national security orders and directives, which shall encompass any process issued under section 702 of FISA.
