The present clause applies whenever the Services Provider engages a Subprocessor for Processing Personal Data pursuant to this DPA. Services Provider must choose Subprocessors that provide sufficient guarantees in respect of the technical security measures and organizational measures governing the Processing. The Subprocessors engaged must ensure compliance with the requirements and/or obligations foreseen in the Data Protection Laws and this DPA. Before the Subprocessor first Processes Personal Data on behalf of Feedzai, Services Provider must carry out due diligence to ensure that the Subprocessor is capable of providing the level of protection for Personal Data required by this DPA and Data Protection Laws.
7.2. Requirements for Subprocessor Engagement. With respect to each Subprocessor, the Services Provider shall ensure that the arrangement between the Services Provider and any prospective Subprocessor is governed by a written contract including terms which offer at least the same level of protection for the Personal Data as those set out in this DPA, and that the Subprocessors act in accordance with Feedzai’s instructions. Services Provider shall notify and keep Feedzai updated regarding the names of its Subprocessors Processing the Personal Data of Feedzai.
7.3. Cooperation. Services Provider shall procure that the Subprocessors shall promptly provide to Feedzai with necessary assistance and all the information in Subprocessor’s possession or control in relation to the Processing of the Personal Data under this DPA as may reasonably be required for Feedzai to assess whether the Processing of the Personal Data is in accordance with this DPA.

7.5. Opportunity to Object to Subprocessor. Services Provider shall give Feedzai prior written notice of the appointment of any proposed new Sub Processor at least thirty (30) days in advance of such appointment, including full details of the Processing to be undertaken by any proposed Subprocessor. If Feedzai does not object to Services Provider’s appointment of a proposed Subprocessor during the aforementioned period, Services Provider may commence use of that Subprocessor to Process Feedzai’s Personal Data. If Feedzai notifies the Services Provider in writing of any objections (on reasonable grounds) to the proposed appointment within the aforementioned period: (a) Services Provider shall work with Feedzai in good faith to make available a commercially reasonable change in the provision of the Services which avoids the use of that proposed Subprocessor; and (b) where such a change cannot be made within fourteen (14) days from Services Provider’s receipt of Feedzai’s notice, notwithstanding anything in the Agreement, Feedzai may terminate the Agreement or that part of the Agreement requiring such Processing without penalty or liability (other than for fees due and owing to Services Provider for Services rendered prior to the effective date of such termination) on written notice to Services Provider.
7.6. In addition, where a Subprocessor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations, Services Provider will remain liable to Feedzai for the performance of such Subprocessor’s obligations. - Liability. Services Provider will indemnify and keep indemnified Feedzai against all and any loss, liability, damage and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by it as a result of any breach by Services Provider of its obligations under this DPA. Nothing contained herein shall be considered as prohibiting or limiting Feedzai from pursuing any other remedies available to it.

In addition, Services Provider shall reimburse Feedzai of all costs, losses and expenses related to the management of a Data Incident.
- Data Enricher (if applicable).
10.1. Scope. For the avoidance of any doubts, the present clause applies exclusively to cases in which the Services Provider is a Data Enricher engaged to provide data enrichment services in accordance with the Services Agreement. A Data Enricher means the Services Provider that provides data enrichment services by managing databases, updating outdated data as well as by enriching incomplete and inaccurate data. For that purpose, Feedzai shares its Personal Data with the Services Provider and the Services Provider shares Personal Data with Feedzai or provides access to that data.
10.2. Services Provider Personal Data. The parties acknowledge and agree that, with regard to all Personal Data held within Services Provider’s databases that are accessible to or shared with Feedzai through use of the enrichment services, Services Provider is a separate Controller, instead of a Processor. Services Provider’s purpose and means of Processing are independent from Feedzai’s (or any of its Affiliates) Processing of the same Personal Data. The Services Provider is independently responsible for compliance with the applicable Data Protection Laws, namely responsible for identifying a lawful basis of Processing, for complying with all necessary transparency and lawfulness obligations for the collection, Processing and use of the Personal Data as well as responding to data subjects’ requests to exercise their rights.
10.3. Feedzai’s Personal Data. In turn, with regard to the Processing of Personal Data belonging to or provided by Feedzai to the Services Provider, Feedzai is the Controller and the Services Provider is the Processor and the Processing activities remain subject to all the provisions of this DPA, with the exception of clause 10.2. - Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice, consent, approval, or other communication under this DPA (“Notices”) must be in writing and will be delivered by email to privacy@feedzai.com or to the email address of the Services Provider provided by the Services Provider by any means. Both parties are solely responsible for ensuring that the Notification Email Address is current and valid. Notices shall be written in the English language.
- Precedence. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this DPA and the Services Agreement, the terms of this DPA will prevail.
- Severability. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this DPA (including Addendas or Annexes if applicable), or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the agreement will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the Parties, and the remainder of this DPA or of the provision will continue in full force and effect, except to the extent such invalid provision or part of provision relates to essential aspects of this DPA. The parties agree that such provision or portion thereof shall be substituted by a provision with an equivalent legal and economic effect.
