- the obligation to carry out an assessment of the impact of the envisaged processing operations on the protection of personal data (a “data protection impact assessment”) where a type of processing is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons;
- the obligation to consult the competent supervisory authority (where relevant the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection, IMY), prior to processing where a data protection impact assessment indicates that the processing would result in a high risk in the absence of measures taken by the Customer to mitigate the risk.
- PERSONAL DATA BREACH
- In the event of a personal data breach concerning data processed by Telavox, Telavox shall notify the Customer without undue delay and at the latest within 48 hours after having become aware of the breach. Such notification shall contain the details of a contact point where more information concerning the personal data breach can be obtained, a description of the nature of the breach (including, where possible, categories and approximate number of data subjects and data records concerned), its likely consequences and the measures taken or proposed to be taken to mitigate its possible adverse effects.

- the likely consequences of the personal data breach;
- the measures taken or proposed to be taken by the Customer to address the personal data breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects.
- DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS
- Taking into account the nature of the processing hereunder, Telavox shall assist the Customer in fulfilling its obligations to respond to data subjects’ requests for the exercise of their rights, by appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible.
- Telavox shall promptly notify the Customer about any request received directly from the data subject, and shall not respond to that request itself and shall not respond to that request itself.
- SUB-PROCESSORS
- The Customer hereby approves a general authorisation for Telavox to engage sub-processors. The list of sub-processors the data processor is currently using is available through the following link (https:// telavox.com/gdpr/terms/subprocessors), which are hereby approved by the Customer. Telavox shall in- form in writing the Customer of any intended chang- es of that list through the addition or replacement of sub-processors at least 30 (thirty) days in advance, thereby giving the Customer the opportunity to object to such changes prior to the engagement of the concerned sub-processor(s) within 14 days from being notified. If Customer does not provide an objection within this timeframe, Customer is deemed to accept the respective sub-processor.
- If Customer objects to the use of a sub-processor for legitimate and reasonable reasons relating to privacy or data security, Telavox will use reasonable efforts to work in good faith with Customer to find an acceptable, commercially reasonable, alternate solution. If the Parties are not able to agree to an alternate solution within a reasonable time (no more than 30 days from Telavox’s receipt of notice of Customer’s objection), Telavox will either not appoint or replace the sub-processor or, if this is not possible, Customer may suspend or terminate the applicable order for Services in respect only to the specific Ser- vices which cannot be provided by Customer without the use of the objected-to new sub-processor, by providing written notice to Telavox and without prejudice to any fees incurred by Customer prior to suspension or termination.
- In the event that the Customer provides an objection to a new sub-processor and such objection in Telavox’s opinion prevents effective provision of Telavox’s services, then Telavox may terminate the Agreement without penalty or liability.
- Where Telavox engages a sub-processor for carrying out specific processing activities (on behalf of the Customer), it shall do so by way of a contract which imposes on the sub-processor the same obligations as the ones imposed on the data processor under this DPA. Telavox shall provide, at the Customer’s request, a copy of such a sub-processor agreement and subsequent amendments to the Customer. Telavox shall ensure that the sub-processor complies with the obligations to which the data processor is subject pursuant to this DPA and to the GDPR.
- Telavox shall remain fully responsible to the Customer for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations under its contract with Telavox. Telavox shall notify the Customer of any failure by the sub-processor to fulfil its obligations under that agreement.
- INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Any transfer of data to a third country or an international organisation by Telavox shall be undertaken only in compliance with Chapter V of the GDPR.10.2 Telavox agrees that where it engages a sub-processor in accordance with Section 9 above for carrying out specific processing activities (on behalf of the Customer) in a third country and those processing activities involve transfer of personal data within the meaning of Chapter V of the GDPR, Telavox and the sub-processor may use Standard Contractual Clauses in order to comply with the requirements of Chapter V of the GDPR, provided the conditions for the use of those clauses are met.
- AUDITS
- Telavox shall make available to the Customer all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations set out in this DPA and that are stemming directly from the GDPR and at the Customer’s request, allow for and contribute to reviews of data files and documentation or of audits of the processing activities covered by this DPA, in particular if there are indications of non-compliance.
- The Customer may choose to conduct the audit by itself, to mandate, at its own cost, an independent auditor or to rely on an independent audit mandated by the Customer. Where the Customer mandates an audit, the Customer has to bear the costs of the independent auditor. Prior to an audit or inspection a detailed plan on scope, duration and start date of the audit shall be agreed in writing between the Parties. The Customer’s notification for an audit shall include such a proposed plan.
- Nothing in this Section 11 shall entitle the Customer, or any auditor, to access activities, records, information or any other material in any form (i) relating to other clients of the Supplier, (ii) not relevant to the processing of the personal data, (iii) which is commercially sensitive information, or (iv) which is legally privileged or subject to confidentiality obligations (either by law or contract) owed by Telavox to a third party.
- Telavox and the Customer shall make the information referred to in this Section 11, including the results of any audits, available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
- TERM AND TERMINATION
- This DPA enters into force on the effective date of the Agreement and remains in force until termination of the Agreement.
- Without prejudice to any provisions of the GDPR, in the event that Telavox is in breach of its obligations under this DPA, the Customer may instruct Telavox to temporarily suspend the processing of personal data until Telavox complies with this DPA or the Agreement is terminated. Telavox shall promptly inform the Customer in case it is unable to comply with this DPA, for whatever reason.
