You will not, and you will not permit any third party, to access, collect, store, retain, transfer, use or otherwise process in any manner any Protected Data, except in the interest and on behalf of Logitech, as directed by authorized personnel of Logitech or one of its affiliates in writing (such as in accordance with the Agreement), and in accordance with these Data Security Terms. You will not make Protected Data accessible to any third party (including any subprocessor), or transfer or relocate Protected Data, unless approved by Logitech in writing (such as in the Agreement).

Upon expiration of the Data Removal Period, you will cause to be deleted any and all Protected Data from your systems. Upon request by Logitech, you will provide written certification as to the completion of the deletion of Protected Data in accordance with this paragraph.
- 9. Data Breach. In the event of an actual breach or compromise to the physical or electronic security of the Protected Data, including but not limited to actual loss of control, theft or unauthorized processing, loss, use, disclosure or acquisition, or access ("Data Breach"), you will take the following actions.

- 12. European Personal Data and GDPR. In accordance with the GDPR and similar laws of other countries, you accept the following obligations as a data importer, processor or subprocessor to Logitech (in its capacity as the "controller"), with respect to any Protected Data that is subject to the GDPR or such similar laws of other countries as "personal data." You agree, warrant and represent that you will: (a) process the personal data only on documented instructions from the controller, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organization, unless required to do so by European Union or Member State law to which the processor is subject; in such a case, the processor shall inform the controller of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest; also, the processor shall immediately inform the controller if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes the GDPR, national data protection laws in the EU or other applicable law; (b) ensure that persons authorized to process the personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality; (c) take all measures required pursuant to Article 32 of the GDPR (security of processing); (d) respect the conditions referred to in paragraphs 2 and 4 of Article 28 of the GDPR for engaging another processor; (e) taking into account the nature of the processing, assist the controller by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of the controller's obligation to respond to requests for exercising the data subject's rights laid down in Chapter III of the GDPR, including, without limitation, right to access, rectification, erasure and portability of the data subject's personal data; (for the avoidance of doubt, processor shall only assist and enable controller to meet controller's obligations to satisfy data subjects' rights, but processor shall not respond directly to data subjects); (f) assist the controller in ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR (Security of personal data) taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to the processor; (g) at the choice of the controller, deletes or returns all the personal data to the controller after the end of the provision of services relating to processing, and deletes existing copies unless European Union or Member State law requires storage of the personal data; (h) makes available to the controller all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in Article 28 of the GDPR and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the controller or another auditor mandated by the controller.
