The parties agree to comply with the terms and conditions in this DPA in connection with such Personal Data.
2.2 Role of the Parties. As between CYBERHOUR.COM and Customer, Customer is the Controller of Personal Data and CYBERHOUR.COM shall process Personal Data only as a Processor on behalf of Customer.

2.6 CYBERHOUR.COM Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement (including this DPA), Customer acknowledges that CYBERHOUR.COM shall have a right to use and disclose data relating to and/or obtained in connection with the operation, support and/or use of the Services for its legitimate business purposes, such as billing, account management, technical support, product development and sales and marketing. To the extent any such data is considered personal data under Data Protection Laws, CYBERHOUR.COM is the Controller of such data and accordingly shall process such data in compliance with Data Protection Laws.
3.1 Authorized Sub-processors. Customer agrees that CYBERHOUR.COM may engage Sub-processors to process Personal Data on Customer's behalf. The Sub-processors currently engaged by CYBERHOUR.COM and authorized by Customer are listed in Annex A.

CYBERHOUR.COM shall: (i) enter into a written agreement with the Sub-processor imposing data protection terms that require the Sub-processor to protect the Personal Data to the standard required by Data Protection Laws; and (ii) remain responsible for its compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of the Sub-processor that cause CYBERHOUR.COM to breach any of its obligations under this DPA.

3.4 Objection to Sub-processors. Customer may object in writing to CYBERHOUR.COM’s appointment of a new Sub-processor on reasonable grounds relating to data protection by notifying CYBERHOUR.COM promptly in writing within five (5) calendar days of receipt of CYBERHOUR.COM’s notice in accordance with Section 3.3. Such notice shall explain the reasonable grounds for the objection. In such event, the parties shall discuss such concerns in good faith with a view to achieving commercially reasonable resolution. If this is not possible, either party may terminate the applicable Services that cannot be provided by CYBERHOUR.COM without the use of the objected-to-new Sub-processor.
4.1 Security Measures. CYBERHOUR.COM shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect Personal Data from Security Incidents and to preserve the security and confidentiality of the Personal Data, in accordance with CYBERHOUR.COM's security standards described in Annex B (“Security Measures”).
4.2 Confidentiality of Processing. CYBERHOUR.COM shall ensure that any person who is authorized by CYBERHOUR.COM to process Personal Data (including its staff, agents and subcontractors) shall be under an appropriate obligation of confidentiality (whether a contractual or statutory duty).
4.3 Security Incident Response. Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident, CYBERHOUR.COM shall notify Customer without undue delay and shall provide timely information relating to the Security Incident as it becomes known or as is reasonably requested by Customer.
4.4 Updates to Security Measures. Customer acknowledges that the Security Measures are subject to technical progress and development and that CYBERHOUR.COM may update or modify the Security Measures from time to time provided that such updates and modifications do not result in the degradation of the overall security of the Services purchased by the Customer. CYBERHOUR.COM may not notify the Customer about these changes.
CYBERHOUR.COM shall maintain records of its security standards. Upon Customer's written request, CYBERHOUR.COM shall provide (on a confidential basis) copies of relevant certifications, audit report summaries and/or other documentation reasonably required by Customer to verify CYBERHOUR.COM's compliance with this DPA.
CYBERHOUR.COM stores and processes Personal Data in a data center located in Bulgaria. CYBERHOUR.COM does not transfer any data outside the European Union.
Upon deactivation of the Services, all Personal Data shall be deleted, save that this requirement shall not apply to the extent CYBERHOUR.COM is required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Personal Data, or to Personal Data it has archived on back-up systems, which such Personal Data CYBERHOUR.COM shall securely isolate and protect from any further processing, except to the extent required by applicable law.
8.1 To the extent that Customer is unable to independently access the relevant Personal Data within the Services, CYBERHOUR.COM shall (at Customer's expense) taking into account the nature of the processing, provide reasonable cooperation to assist Customer by appropriate technical and organizational measures, in so far as is possible, to respond to any requests from individuals or applicable data protection authorities relating to the processing of Personal Data under the Agreement. In the event that any such request is made directly to CYBERHOUR.COM, CYBERHOUR.COM shall not respond to such communication directly without Customer's prior authorization, unless legally compelled to do so. If CYBERHOUR.COM is required to respond to such a request, CYBERHOUR.COM shall promptly notify Customer and provide it with a copy of the request unless legally prohibited from doing so.
8.2 To the extent CYBERHOUR.COM is required under Data Protection Law, CYBERHOUR.COM shall (at Customer's expense) provide reasonably requested information regarding CYBERHOUR.COM's processing of Personal Data under the Agreement to enable the Customer to carry out data protection impact assessments or prior consultations with data protection authorities as required by law.
9.1 Except for the changes made by this DPA, the Agreement remains unchanged and in full force and effect. If there is any conflict between this DPA and the Agreement, this DPA shall prevail to the extent of that conflict.
9.2 This DPA is a part of and incorporated into the Agreement so references to "Agreement" in the Agreement shall include this DPA.
9.3 In no event shall any party limit its liability with respect to any individual's data protection rights under this DPA or otherwise.
9.4 This DPA shall be governed by and construed in accordance with governing law and jurisdiction provisions in the Agreement, unless required otherwise by Data Protection Laws.
