Where CrowdComms is relying on Applicable Laws as the basis for processing personal data, CrowdComms shall promptly notify the Customer of this before performing the processing required by the Applicable Laws unless those Applicable Laws prohibit CrowdComms from so notifying the Customer;

(b) not transfer any personal data outside of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom unless the following conditions are fulfilled:

(i) the Customer or CrowdComms has provided appropriate safeguards in relation to the transfer;

(ii) the data subject has enforceable rights and effective legal remedies;

(e) unless otherwise required by Applicable Law to store the personal data or unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the parties, retain the personal data for a period of up to 6 months from the end of an event for which the Customer Data was processed at which point CrowdComms shall delete the personal data. At the written direction of the Customer, CrowdComms will delete or return personal data to the Customer prior to the expiry of this 6 month period (unless required by Applicable Law to store the personal data) and for these purposes the term “delete” shall mean to put such data beyond use; and

(f) maintain complete and accurate records and information to demonstrate its compliance with this Clause 5 and immediately inform the Customer if, in the opinion of CrowdComms, an instruction infringes the Data Protection Legislation.

4.7 Each party shall ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organisational measures, reviewed and approved by the other party, to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data, appropriate to the harm that might result from the unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the data to be protected, having regard to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures (those measures may include, where appropriate, pseudonymising and encrypting personal data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services, ensuring that availability of and access to personal data can be restored in a timely manner after an incident, and regularly assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organisational measures adopted by it).

4.8 The Customer does not consent to CrowdComms appointing any third party processor of personal data under the Contract.
