Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer expressly and affirmatively opts in through an Order Document or other written agreement, Customer authorizes Audiense to use, combine, aggregate, de-identify, derive from, enhance, and otherwise Process the Customer Personal Data identified in such opt-in (“Opt-In Data”) for the purposes specified therein, including to create datasets, audience segments, profiles, insights, analytics, models, and other data products. To the extent expressly authorized by Customer’s opt-in and permitted by applicable Data Protection Laws, Audiense may use, license, sell, share, disclose, distribute, and otherwise commercialize Opt-In Data and data products derived therefrom for Audiense’s own business purposes and for the benefit of its customers, licensees, and other third parties. Customer represents and warrants that it has provided all notices, obtained all consents and authorizations, and possesses all rights necessary to authorize such Processing and commercialization of Opt-In Data. Audiense shall Process Opt-In Data only within the scope of Customer’s affirmative opt-in and to the extent permitted by applicable Data Protection Laws. Except to the extent expressly authorized by Customer’s opt-in and permitted by applicable Data Protection Laws, Customer Personal Data shall remain subject to the restrictions set forth in this DPA.

Audiense may charge Customer, and Customer shall reimburse Audiense, for any such assistance beyond providing self-service features included as part of the Services. Notwithstanding its obligations under this Section, nothing in this Section obligates Audiense to respond to a Data Subject Request directly from a Data Subject and does not otherwise assume any liability or responsibility for responding to Data Subject Requests.
4.2.1. Requests to Delete. Unless it is permitted to retain Personal Data under the Data Protection Laws, Audiense will comply with Customer’s direction to delete any Personal Data where required by law, and shall notify any Subprocessors of such direction as applicable. Audiense shall not be required to delete any of the Personal Data to comply with a Data Subject’s request directed by Customer if it is necessary or permitted to maintain such information in accordance with applicable law.
4.3. Regulator Requests. Both Parties will reasonably assist the other in communicating and cooperating with any regulators relating to the Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement.

Customer shall: (a) be responsible for all communications or correspondence with the regulator in relation to the Processing of Personal Data and the provision or receipt of the Services, and (b) keep Audiense informed of such communications or correspondence to the extent permitted by law.

4.5.2. If Customer Personal Data is being provided to a third party in response to a subpoena or other discovery request, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Audiense will provide Customer with notice of the subpoena or discovery request prior to disclosing the Customer Personal Data so that Customer may, at its expense, object to the subpoena or discovery request, or seek an appropriate protective order.

5.1. Audiense will inform Customer if, in its opinion, any of Customer’s instructions relating to the Audit violate applicable Data Protection Laws.
5.2. Customer may perform such Audits not more than once per year or more frequently if required by Data Protection Laws applicable to Customer.
5.3. Customer may use a third party to perform the Audit on its behalf, provided the third party is a qualified auditor and executes a confidentially agreement acceptable to Audiense before the Audit.
5.4. To request an audit, Customer must submit a detailed proposed audit plan to Audiense at least four weeks in advance of the proposed audit date. Audiense will review the proposed audit plan and collaborate cooperatively with Customer to agree on a final audit plan. All such audits must be conducted during regular business hours, subject to the agreed final audit plan and Audiense’s health and safety or other relevant policies and may not unreasonably interfere with Audiense business activities. Nothing in this clause 5.4 shall require Audiense to breach any duties of confidentiality. Customer must provide Audiense with any Audit reports or findings generated in connection with any Audit at no charge, unless prohibited by law. Customer may use the Audit reports only for the purposes of meeting its Audit requirements under Data Protection Laws and/or monitoring and confirming compliance with the requirements of this DPA. The Audit reports shall constitute Confidential Information of the Parties under the Agreement.
5.5. Under the following circumstances, Customer agrees to accept those findings in lieu of requesting an Audit of the controls covered by the report: (a) the requested Audit scope is addressed in a similar Audit report performed by a qualified third-party auditor for Audiense within twelve (12) months of Customer’s request, (b) if permitted by the Data Protection Laws, and (c) Audiense confirms there are no known material changes in the controls audited. All Audits are at Customer’s sole cost and expense. Any request for Audit assistance requiring the use of resources different from or in addition to those required for provision of the Services will be considered an additional Service for which reasonable additional fees may be charged. Audiense reserves the right to require Customer’s written agreement to pay for such fees before providing such Audit assistance.
5.6. Customer will promptly notify Audiense of any non-compliance discovered during the course of an audit and provide Audiense any audit reports generated in connection with any audit, unless prohibited by applicable law or otherwise instructed by a regulatory or governmental authority. Customer may use the audit reports only for the purposes of meeting Customer’s regulatory audit requirements and/or confirming compliance with the requirements of this DPA.
5.7. Any audits are at Customer’s expense. Customer shall reimburse Audiense for any reasonable, documented out-of- pocket costs incurred by Audiense or its Subprocessors in connection with such audits.

6. SECURITY MEASURES.

Subject to the obligations of Customer under the Agreement:
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, Audiense and each Audiense Affiliate shall, in relation to the Customer Personal Data, implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including, as appropriate, the measures referred to in Article 32 of the GDPR.
6.2. In assessing the appropriate level of security, Audiense shall take account in particular of the risks that are presented by Processing, including without limitation the risks of a Security Incident.
6.3. Audiense shall notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a Security Incident and shall co-operate with Customer and take reasonable commercial steps to assist in the investigation, mitigation, and remediation of a Security Incident. The parties agree to reasonably cooperate with one another before communicating about any Security Incident with any third party. Audiense’s notification of or response to a Security Incident under this clause 4.3 will not be construed as an acknowledgement by Audiense of any fault or liability with respect to the Security Incident.
6.4. Audiense will implement and maintain as a minimum standard the measures set out in Schedule 2. Audiense may update or modify the security measures set out in Schedule 2 from time to time, including (where applicable) following any review by Audiense of such measures in accordance with clause 8.6 of the SCCs, provided that such updates and/or modifications do not reduce the overall level of protection afforded to the Customer Personal Data by Audiense under this DPA.
6.5. Customer acknowledges and agrees that, 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 security measures set out in Schedule 2 are appropriate to ensure the security of the Customer Personal Data.

7. SUBPROCESSORS

7.1. Customer authorizes Audiense and each Audiense Affiliate to appoint (and permit each Subprocessor appointed in accordance with this Section 5 to appoint) Subprocessors in accordance with this Section 5 and any restrictions in the Agreement and applicable Data Protection Laws including the Standard Contractual Clauses and UK Addendum, if applicable. Customer grants Audiense general authorization to engage Subprocessors, subject to this Section, from an agreed list, as well as Audiense’s current Subprocessors listed in the Subprocessor list attached hereto as Schedule 3, as may be updated in accordance with this Section 5..
7.2. Audiense and each Audiense Affiliate may continue to use those Subprocessors already engaged by Audiense or any Audiense Affiliate as of the date of this DPA, subject to Audiense and each Audiense Affiliate in each case as soon as practicable meeting the obligations set out in Section 5.3. Audiense shall give Customer fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice of the appointment of any new Subprocessor, and Customer must inform Audiense of any objection to such new Subprocessor within ten (10) days of such notice. If Customer objects to a Subprocessor under this Section, the parties will make a good-faith effort to resolve Customer’s objection. In the absence of a resolution, Audiense will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with the same level of service, without using the new Subprocessor to process Customer Data. If Audiense is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, each party may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate the Agreement with regard to the affected portion of the Services, by providing written notice to the other party. During any such objection period, Audiense may suspend the affected portion of the Services.
7.3. Audiense will ensure that any Subprocessor that has access to Customer Personal Data enters into a written agreement obligating the Subprocessor to comply with terms that are at least as restrictive as those imposed on Audiense under the Data Protection Laws.

This duty to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless includes fines that may be imposed by a governing authority and any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
9.2. Data provided to Audiense for First-Party Processing Services or Website Analytics and Management Services will not constitute Brokerage Inputs and will not be used for Third-Party Data Brokerage Services unless Customer expressly designates the data as Brokerage Inputs in a separate Order Document or written authorization that specifically describes the permitted commercialization.

10.2.4. Customer shall not provide or designate as Brokerage Inputs any data subject to contractual, legal, or other restrictions inconsistent with the Processing contemplated by this Section unless such restrictions are expressly identified to and accepted in writing by Audiense.

Each Party will be individually responsible, in its role as an independent business/controller, for responding to data subject or consumer requests for which it is responsible under applicable Data Protection Laws.

9. Incident / problem management procedures designed to allow Audiense to investigate, respond to, mitigate, and notify of events related to Audiense’s technology and information assets.
10. Network security controls that provide for the use of firewall systems, intrusion detection systems, and other traffic and event correlation procedures designed to protect systems from intrusion and limit the scope of any successful attack.
11. Vulnerability assessment, patch management and threat protection technologies and scheduled monitoring procedures designed to identify, assess, mitigate, and protect against identified security threats, viruses, and other malicious code.
