3.2 The Client shall ensure the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Article 1 are appropriately reflected towards its data controllers it allows to make use of the Products/Services. The Parties agree that Client shall act as the sole point of contact for Mixvoip, either in its capacity as data controller or on behalf of its data controllers. All references to Client rights and obligations under this Article 1 shall be deemed to include the respective data controllers of the Client to the extent applicable. The personal data made available by the Client might relate to the following types of data subjects: its own customers, employees, workers, agents, representatives, consultants, or other third parties. The personal data might include the following categories of data:
- identification information, contact details;
- preferences with regard to direct marketing;

With regard to these personal data, the Client (or its data controllers) will have the rights and obligations of a data controller as set out in the Data Protection Legislation.
3.3 Mixvoip shall process or transfer the personal data in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions, unless Mixvoip is required to otherwise process or transfer the personal data under the laws of the European Union or one of its Member States. Where such a requirement is placed on Mixvoip, Mixvoip shall provide prior notice to the Client, unless the law prohibits such notice on important grounds of public interest. The Agreement, including this article, is the Client's complete instruction to Mixvoip in this respect. All additional or alternative instructions must be agreed upon in writing by the Parties.
3.4 Mixvoip shall treat the personal data as strictly confidential and ensure that any natural person acting under its authority who has access to the personal data (i) commits himself/herself to confidentiality or is under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality and (ii) does not process the personal data except on instructions from the Client, unless he/she is required to otherwise process or transfer the personal data under the laws of the European Union or one of its Member States.
3.5 Irrespective of where Mixvoip receives or holds the personal data, Mixvoip shall take the technical and organizational measures agreed in this Agreement to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks that are presented by the processing (in particular risks from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, use or access, and against all other unlawful forms of processing) and taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature of the personal data and the potential risks.
3.6 If Mixvoip detects a personal data breach affecting the personal data in the framework of the performance of the Agreement, Mixvoip shall inform the Client about the breach without undue delay.
3.7 At the request of the Client and taking into account the nature of the processing as well as the information available to Mixvoip, Mixvoip shall provide insofar as possible reasonable assistance to the Client in:
- dealing with requests from data subjects exercising their data subject rights under the Data Protection Legislation;
- implementing technical and organisational security measures to comply with the Client’s obligation of security of the personal data processing;

3.9 The Client hereby provides a general written authorisation to Mixvoip to engage subcontractors for the processing of the personal data (i) to the extent necessary to fulfil its contractual obligations under the Agreement and (ii) as long as Mixvoip remains responsible for any acts or omissions of its subcontractors in the same manner as for its own acts and omissions hereunder. Upon request, Mixvoip shall inform the Client of any intended addition or replacement of other processors, giving the Client the opportunity to object to such changes. If the Client has a legitimate reason for objection that relates to the processing of personal data, Mixvoip may not be in a position to continue to provide the Service to the Client and shall in such case be entitled to terminate this Agreement. Where Mixvoip engages another processor under this Article, Mixvoip shall ensure that the obligations set out in this article 1.3. are imposed on that other processor by way of a written contract.
3.10 Mixvoip shall be entitled to transfer the personal data to a country located outside the European Economic Area which has not been recognised by the European Commission as ensuring an adequate level of data protection, if Mixvoip (i) has provided appropriate safeguards in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation or (ii) can rely on a derogation foreseen by the Data Protection Legislation enabling such transfer. The Client shall from time to time execute such documents and perform such acts as Mixvoip may reasonably require to implement any such appropriate safeguards.

3.12 If any request of the Client under this article 1.3 requires Mixvoip to take additional steps beyond those directly imposed on Mixvoip by the Data Protection Legislation, the Client shall reimburse Mixvoip for any costs incurred by Mixvoip for taking such additional steps.
