5. Personal Data Processing Requirements.
   ‍Customer will:
   
   1. Comply with its obligations as a controller, business or equivalent term under the Data Protection Laws, and shall:
      1. Provide such information to Data Subjects regarding the Processing of their Covered Data in connection with the Customer’s use of the Services as required under Data Protection Laws;

6. Security.‍
   1. Security Measures. Crossbeam shall implement and maintain technical and organizational security measures designed to protect Covered Data from Security Incidents, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purpose of the Processing as well as the risks that are presented by the Processing, in particular from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Covered Data, in accordance with Crossbeam’s Security Policy which can be found here https://www.crossbeam.com/legal/security-policy/ (“Security Measures”). Crossbeam may update the Security Measures, provided, however, that such modifications shall not diminish the overall level of security.
   2. Security Incidents. Upon becoming aware of a confirmed Security Incident, Crossbeam shall notify Customer without undue delay unless prohibited by applicable law. A delay in giving such notice requested by law enforcement and/or in light of Crossbeam’s legitimate needs to investigate or remediate the matter before providing notice shall not constitute an undue delay. Such notices will describe, to the extent possible, details of the Security Incident, including steps taken to mitigate the potential risks and steps Crossbeam recommends Customer take to address the Security Incident. Without prejudice to Crossbeam’s obligations under this Section 6, Customer is solely responsible for complying with Security Incident notification laws applicable to Customer and fulfilling any third-party notification obligations related to any Security Incidents. Crossbeam’s notification of or response to a Security Incident under this Section 6 will not be construed as an acknowledgement by Crossbeam of any fault or liability with respect to the Security Incident.‍
7. Subprocessors.‍
   1. Customer specifically authorizes Crossbeam to use its affiliates as Subprocessors, and generally authorizes Crossbeam to engage Subprocessors to Process Covered Data.
   2. Crossbeam shall enter into a written agreement with each Subprocessor, imposing data protection obligations that, in substance, are no less protective of Covered Data than those set out in this Addendum; and
   3. Crossbeam remains liable for compliance with the obligations of this Addendum and for any acts or omissions of the Subprocessor that cause Crossbeam to breach any of its obligations under this Addendum.
   4. A list of Crossbeam’s Subprocessors is available at https://www.crossbeam.com/subprocessors/ or such other website as Crossbeam may designate (“Subprocessor Page”), and may be updated by Crossbeam from time to time in accordance with this Addendum.
   5. When any new subprocessor is engaged, Crossbeam will notify Customer of the engagement, which notice may be given by updating the Subprocessor Page. Crossbeam will give such notice at least fourteen (14) calendar days before the new Subprocessor Processes any Personal Data, except that if Crossbeam reasonably believes engaging a new Subprocessor on an expedited basis is necessary to protect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the Personal Data or avoid material disruption to the Service, Crossbeam will give such notice as soon as reasonably practicable. If, within five (5) calendar days after such notice, Customer notifies Crossbeam in writing that Customer objects to Crossbeam’s appointment of a new Subprocessor based on reasonable data protection concerns, the Parties will discuss such concerns in good faith and whether they can be resolved. If the Parties are not able to mutually agree to a resolution of such concerns, Customer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate the portion of the Agreement relating to the Services affected by such change for convenience.‍
8. Audits and Reviews of Compliance.To the extent applicable Data Protection Laws include a right for Customer to audit Crossbeam’s Processing of Covered Data, Customer will exercise such audit right, and Crossbeam will fulfill its corresponding obligations, as follows:
   1. Crossbeam shall make available to Customer relevant information regarding Crossbeam’s Processing of Covered Data under this Addendum in the form of Crossbeam’s most recent SOC 2 Type II certifications or similar audit reports (“Third-Party Reports”).
   2. Not more than once per calendar year and at Customer’s expense, Customer may audit Crossbeam’s Processing of Covered Data for compliance with its obligations under this Addendum by submitting reasonable requests for information, including security and audit questionnaires. Crossbeam will provide written responses to the extent the requested information is necessary to confirm Crossbeam’s compliance with this Addendum. However, if the requested information is addressed in a Third-Party Report issued within the 12-month period prior to Customer’s request and Crossbeam confirms there have been no material changes in the interim relevant to Customer’s request, Customer agrees to accept such Third-Party Report in lieu of a written response. Any information provided by Crossbeam under this Section 8 constitutes Crossbeam’s Confidential Information under the Agreement.
   3. If a third party is to conduct an audit under this Section 8, all such audits will be conducted (a) upon reasonable written notice to Crossbeam, (b) only during Crossbeam’s normal business hours; and (c) in a manner that does not materially disrupt Crossbeam’s business operations. Crossbeam may object to the auditor if the auditor is, in Crossbeam’s reasonable opinion, not independent, a competitor of Crossbeam or otherwise unqualified. Such objection by Crossbeam will require Customer to appoint another auditor. Crossbeam shall not be required to facilitate any such audit unless and until the Parties have agreed in writing the scope and timing of such audit.
   4. Customer will promptly notify Crossbeam of any non-compliance discovered during the course of an audit and provide Crossbeam any audit reports generated in connection with any audit under this Section 8, unless prohibited by GDPR or otherwise instructed by a supervisory authority. Customer may use the audit reports only for the purposes of meeting Customer’s regulatory audit requirements and confirming that Crossbeam’s Processing of Covered Data complies with this Addendum.
   5. Customer shall reimburse Crossbeam for any time expended by Crossbeam or its Subprocessors in connection with any audits under this Section 8 at Crossbeam’s then-current professional services rates, which shall be made available to Customer upon request. Customer will be responsible for any fees charged by any auditor appointed by Customer to execute any such audit. Nothing in this Addendum shall be construed to require Crossbeam to furnish more information about Subprocessors in connection with such audits than such Subprocessors make generally available to their customers. Nothing in this Section 8 shall require Crossbeam to breach any duties of confidentiality.‍
9. Return or Destruction of Personal Data.
   Except to the extent required otherwise by Data Protection Law, Crossbeam will within sixty (60) days after written request by Customer following the termination or expiration of the Agreement, return to Customer and/or securely destroy all Covered Data. Except to the extent prohibited by Addendum, Crossbeam will inform Customer if it is not able to return or delete the Personal Data.‍
10. General.‍
    1. This Addendum will be governed by and construed in accordance with governing law and jurisdiction provisions in the Agreement, unless required otherwise by applicable Data Protection Laws.
    2. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary of the Agreement or this Addendum, Crossbeam may cooperate with law enforcement agencies concerning conduct or activity that it reasonably and in good faith believes may violate federal, state, or local law.
