If Hunters receives a request from a Data Subject to exercise its right to be informed, right of access, right to rectification, erasure, restriction of Processing, data portability, right to object, or its right not to be subject to a decision solely based on automated processing, including profiling (“Data Subject Request”), Hunters shall, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify and forward such Data Subject Request to Client.

AUTHORIZATION REGARDING SUB-PROCESSORS
5.1.1 Hunters’ current list of Sub-processors is included in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gx1UyYDfej41SOR6tNOpeG81j2w8zDGo (“Sub-processor List”) and is hereby approved by Data Controller. The Sub-processor List as of the date of execution of this DPA, is hereby, authorized by Client. In any event, the Sub-processor List shall be deemed authorized by Client unless it provides a written reasonable objection for reasons related to the GDPR within ten (10) business days following the publication of the Sub-processor List. Client may reasonably object for reasons related to the GDPR to Hunters’ use of an existing Sub-processor by providing a written objection to privacy@hunters.ai. In the event Client reasonably objects to an existing Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentences, and the parties do not find a solution in good faith to the issue in question, then Client may, as a sole remedy, terminate the applicable Agreement and this DPA with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by Hunters without the use of the objected-to Sub-processor by providing written notice to Hunters provided that all amounts due under the Agreement before the termination date with respect to the Processing at issue shall be duly paid to Hunters. Client will have no further claims against Hunters due to (i) past use of approved Sub-processors prior to the date of objection or (ii) the termination of the Agreement (including, without limitation, requesting refunds) and the DPA in the situation described in this paragraph.
5.1.2 Hunters shall provide notification of any new Sub-processor(s) before authorizing such new Sub-processor(s) to Process Personal Data in connection with the provision of the Services.
5.2 Objection Right for New Sub-processors. Client may reasonably object to Hunters’ use of a new Sub-processor for reasons related to the GDPR by notifying Hunters promptly in writing within fourteen (14) days after receipt of Hunters’ notice and such written objection shall include the reasons related to the GDPR for objecting to Hunters’ use of such new Sub-processor. Failure to object to such new Sub-processor in writing within three (3) business days following Hunters’ notice shall be deemed as acceptance of the new Sub-Processor. In the event Client reasonably objects to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentences, Hunters will use reasonable efforts to make available to Client a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Client’s use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening the Client. If Hunters is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed forty-five (45) days, Client may, as a sole remedy, terminate the applicable Agreement and this DPA with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by Hunters without the use of the objected-to new Sub processor by providing written notice to Hunters provided that all amounts due under the Agreement before the termination date with respect to the Processing at issue shall be duly paid to Hunters. Until a decision is made regarding the new Sub-processor, Hunters may temporarily suspend the Processing of the affected Personal Data. Client will have no further claims against Hunters due to the termination of the Agreement (including, without limitation, requesting refunds) and/or the DPA in the situation described in this paragraph.

6.1 Controls for the Protection of Personal Data. Taking into account the state of the art, Hunters shall maintain industry-standard technical and organizational measures required pursuant to Article 32 of the GDPR for protection of the security (including protection against unauthorized or unlawful Processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or damage, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data), confidentiality and integrity of Personal Data, as set forth in the Security Documentation which are hereby approved by Client. Upon the Client’s request, Hunters will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Client, at Client’s cost, in ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR taking into account the nature of the processing, the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the scope, the context, the purposes of the Processing and the information available to Hunters.
6.2 Third-Party Certifications and Audits. Upon Client’s written request at reasonable intervals, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement and this DPA, Hunters shall make available to Client that is not a competitor of Hunters (or Client’s independent, third-party auditor that is not a competitor of Hunters) a copy or a summary of Hunters’ then most recent third-party audits or certifications, as applicable (provided, however, that such audits, certifications and the results therefrom, including the documents reflecting the outcome of the audit and/or the certifications, shall only be used by Client to assess compliance with this DPA, and shall not be used for any other purpose or disclosed to any third party without Hunters’ prior written approval and, upon Hunters’ first request, Client shall return all records or documentation in Client’s possession or control provided by Hunters in the context of the audit and/or the certification). At Client’s cost and expense, Hunters shall allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections of Hunters’, conducted by the controller or another auditor mandated by the controller (who is not a direct or indirect competitor of Hunters) provided that the parties shall agree on the scope, methodology, timing and conditions of such audits and inspections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such audits and/or inspections shall not contain any information, including without limitation, personal data that does not belong to Client.
-
PERSONAL DATA INCIDENT MANAGEMENT AND NOTIFICATION.
To the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, Hunters shall notify Client without undue delay after becoming aware of the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data, including Personal Data, transmitted, stored or otherwise Processed by Hunters or its Sub-processors of which Hunters becomes aware (a “Personal Data Incident”). Hunters shall make reasonable efforts to identify the cause of such Personal Data Incident and take those steps as Hunters deems necessary, possible and reasonable in order to remediate the cause of such a Personal Data Incident to the extent the remediation is within Hunters’ reasonable control. The obligations herein shall not apply to incidents that are caused by Client or Client’s users. In any event, Client will be the party responsible for notifying supervisory authorities and/or concerned data subjects (where required by Data Protection Laws and Regulations).
-
RETURN AND DELETION OF PERSONAL DATA.
Subject to the Agreement, Hunters shall, at the choice of Client, delete or return the Personal Data to Client after the end of the provision of the Services relating to processing, and shall delete existing copies unless applicable law requires storage of the Personal Data. In any event, to the extent required or allowed by applicable law, Hunters may retain one copy of the Personal Data for evidence purposes and/or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and/or to comply with applicable laws and regulations. If the Client requests the Personal Data to be returned, the Personal Data shall be returned in the format generally available for Hunters’ Clients. -

The Parties acknowledge and agree that, by executing the DPA, the Client enters into the DPA on behalf of itself and, as applicable, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates, thereby establishing a separate DPA between Hunters.

10.2 Transfers to other countries. If the Processing of Personal Data includes transfers from the EEA to countries outside the EEA which do not offer adequate level of data protection or which have not been subject to an Adequacy Decision (“Other Countries”), upon Client’s request, the Parties shall comply with Chapter V of the GDPR, including, if necessary, executing the standard data protection clauses adopted by the relevant data protection authorities of the EEA, the Union, the Member States or the European Commission or comply with any of the other mechanisms provided for in the GDPR for transferring Personal Data to such Other Countries.

RELATIONSHIP WITH AGREEMENT.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this DPA and the provisions of the Agreement, the provisions of this DPA shall prevail over the conflicting provisions of the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement and/or in any agreement between the parties and to the maximum extent permitted by law: (A) Hunters’ (including Hunters’ Affiliates’) entire, total and aggregate liability, related to personal data or information, privacy, or for breach of, this DPA and/or Data Protection Laws and Regulations, including, without limitation, if any, any indemnification obligation under the Agreement or applicable law regarding data protection or privacy, shall be limited to the amounts paid to Hunters under the Agreement within twelve (12) months preceding the event that gave rise to the claim.
