6. Sub-processing
6.1 Customer grants Popp Al general authorisation to appoint sub-processors in accordance with this Section 6. The current list of authorised subprocessors ("Sub-processor List") is detailed below and further specified in Annex III:
7. Audit and records
7.1 Popp Al will, in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws, make available to Customer such relevant information in Popp Al's possession or control as Customer may reasonably request with a view to demonstrating Popp Al's compliance with the obligations of data processors under applicable Data Protection Law in relation to its processing of Personal Data[cite: 203]. 7.2 Popp Al shall allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the Customer or another auditor mandated by the Customer, of Popp Al's processing of Personal Data. Such audits may be undertaken no more than once in a twelve (12) month period upon reasonable notice, unless there is a specific reason to suspect non-compliance. Customer shall reimburse Popp Al for any time expended for any such on-site audit at Popp Al's then-current professional services rates, which shall be made available to Customer upon request. Before the commencement of any such on-site audit, Customer and Popp Al shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit in addition to the reimbursement rate for which Customer shall be responsible.
8. Data transfers
8.1 Customer acknowledges and agrees that Popp Al may process Personal Data in, and transfer Personal Data to, countries outside the Customer's country of residence, including outside the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA), as necessary to provide the Services, including via the use of authorised sub-processors listed in Section 6.1 and Annex III. Customer will ensure that Customer and Customer's authorised users are entitled to transfer the Personal Data to Popp Al so that Popp Al and its sub-processors may lawfully process the Personal Data in accordance with this DPA. 8.2 Customer has the option to select the primary jurisdiction for data storage (e.g., London, UK). However, Customer acknowledges that processing activities may occur in other locations, including the United States where certain sub-processors (OpenAI, Twilio, WhatsApp) are located. 8.3 Transfers from the EEA/Switzerland: Insofar as the Agreement involves the transfer of Personal Data subject to the GDPR or Swiss FADP from the EEA or Switzerland to a Non-Adequate Country, the parties agree to comply with the Standard Contractual Clauses - Module 2 (Controller to Processor), incorporated by reference in Exhibit 1. Annex III to Exhibit 1 provides amendments for Swiss data transfers. 8.4 Transfers from the UK: Insofar as the Agreement involves the transfers of Personal Data subject to the UK GDPR from the United Kingdom to a Non-Adequate Country, the International Data Transfer Addendum (IDTA) to the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (Version B1.0) issued by the UK Information Commissioner, incorporated by reference in Exhibit 2, will apply. 8.5 Transfer Mechanisms for US Sub-processors: Popp Al shall ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for transfers to its US-based sub-processors. Transfers to OpenAI Global, LLC rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses supplemented by a Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA). Transfers to Twilio Inc. and WhatsApp Inc. rely on their certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and/or the UK Extension thereof, as applicable. Popp Al will monitor the validity of these mechanisms and implement alternative safeguards if necessary. 8.6 Revision of Clauses: In the event that the European Commission, the UK Information Commissioner's Office, any applicable data protection authority, or other body with competent authority revises or replaces the Standard Contractual Clauses or IDTA, the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to amend this DPA as necessary to incorporate such revised or replacement clauses. 8.7 Prohibition: Except as authorised in this DPA (including via the use of authorised sub-processors and transfer mechanisms specified herein) or otherwise permitted by Data Protection Laws, Popp Al shall not process Personal Data outside the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom without the express written consent of the Customer.
