(ii) EG will support the Subscriber in remedial activity by answering all reasonable queries from the Subscriber regarding Subscriber Data submission and Contribution Criteria requirements; and

Processing
2.1. EG shall not engage another processor without Subscriber’s prior specific or general written authorisation. In the case of general written authorisation, EG shall inform Subscriber of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of other processors, thereby giving Subscriber the opportunity to object to such changes in the manner more specifically set forth herein.
2.2. EG’s processing shall be governed by this DPA under Union or governing Member State law as set forth in the Agreement. In particular, EG shall:
2.3. Where EG engages another processor for carrying out specific processing activities on Subscriber’s behalf, the same data protection obligations as set out in this DPA shall be imposed on that other processor by way of a contract or other legal act under Union or Member State law, in particular providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR. Where that other processor fails to fulfil those data protection obligations, EG shall (subject to the terms of the Agreement) remain fully liable to Subscriber for the performance of that other processor’s obligations.
2.4. The subject-matter of EG’s processing is the personal data provided related to Service and EG Materials under the terms of the Agreement. The duration of the processing is the duration of the provision of the Services and EG Materials under the Agreement. The nature and purpose of the processing is in connection with the provision of Service and EG Materials under this Agreement.

The categories of data subjects are Subscriber’s employees, Authorised Users and clients, prospects, suppliers, business partners and others whose personal data is submitted to the Service.
2.5. The Agreement including this DPA are Subscriber’s complete and final documented instructions to EG for the processing of personal data. Additional or alternate instructions must be agreed upon separately by the parties.

Sub-processing
3.1. Subscriber hereby provide EG general consent to engage other processors for the processing of personal data in accordance with this DPA. EG shall maintain a list of such processors (which EG may update from time to time) and make it available to Subscriber on request. Subscriber may object to the change without penalty by notifying EG within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of EG’s notice. Without prejudice to any applicable refund or termination rights Subscriber have under the terms of the Agreement, EG shall use reasonable endeavours to change, modify or remove the affected Services or EG Materials to avoid processing of personal data by such new processor to which Subscriber reasonably object.
Data Subject Rights
4.1. EG shall, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify Subscriber of any data subject requests EG receives and reasonably cooperate with Subscriber to fulfil Subscriber’s obligations under the GDPR in relation to such requests. Subscriber shall be responsible for any reasonable costs arising from EG’s providing assistance to Subscriber to fulfil such obligations.

5.1. EG shall ensure that, to the extent that any personal data originating from the UK, Switzerland or EEA is transferred by EG to another processor in a country or territory outside the UK, Switzerland or EEA that has not received a binding adequacy decision by the European Commission or competent national data protection authority, such transfer shall be subject to an appropriate transfer mechanism that provides an adequate level of protection in accordance with the GDPR.
Security Of Processing
6.1. Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the parties shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including inter alia as appropriate:
6.2. In assessing the appropriate level of security, account shall be taken in particular of the risks that are presented by processing, in particular from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.
