This Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") forms part of, and is incorporated into, the agreement between Orbitshift, Inc. ("Orbitshift", "Processor") and the customer identified in that agreement ("Customer", "Controller"). Capitalised terms not defined herein have the meanings given in the main agreement.

2. Scope and Roles
The parties acknowledge that, in connection with the provision of the Services, Customer acts as Controller and Orbitshift acts as Processor in respect of the Personal Data described in Schedule 1 (Annex IA). Where Orbitshift processes Personal Data for its own purposes (e.g., billing, account management), it acts as an independent Controller.

- Respect the conditions referred to in Clauses 9 and 10 of this DPA for engaging Sub-Processors;
- Taking into account the nature of the processing, assist Customer by appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, in fulfilling Customer's obligations to respond to Data Subject requests;
- Assist Customer in ensuring compliance with Data Protection Laws regarding security, breach notification, impact assessments, and prior consultation;
- At Customer's choice, delete or return all Personal Data to Customer after the end of the provision of Services, and delete existing copies unless EU law requires storage of the Personal Data;
- Make available to Customer all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA and allow for and contribute to audits and inspections.
4. Customer's Obligations
Customer shall:
- Ensure it has a valid legal basis for instructing Orbitshift to process Personal Data;
- Comply with its obligations as Controller under applicable Data Protection Laws;
- Provide Orbitshift with complete and accurate instructions regarding the processing of Personal Data;
- Ensure that any Personal Data provided to Orbitshift has been collected lawfully and that Data Subjects have been informed of the processing as required by applicable law.
5. Sub-Processing
Customer grants Orbitshift a general written authorisation to engage the Sub-Processors listed in Schedule 1 (Annex III). Orbitshift will:
- Inform Customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of Sub-Processors, giving Customer the opportunity to object to such changes;
- Impose data protection obligations on Sub-Processors equivalent to those set out in this DPA;
- Remain fully liable to Customer for the performance of Sub-Processors' obligations.
6. Data Subject Rights
Orbitshift shall promptly notify Customer if it receives a request from a Data Subject exercising any right afforded by applicable Data Protection Laws. Orbitshift shall not respond to such a request except on Customer's documented instructions, unless required by applicable law. Orbitshift shall provide Customer with reasonable assistance to fulfil Customer's obligations in relation to such requests within the timeframes set out in applicable Data Protection Laws.
7. Security
Orbitshift shall implement and maintain the technical and organisational security measures set out in Schedule 1 (Annex II) to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. Such measures shall take into account the state of the art, costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, and the risks of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of Data Subjects.
8. Personal Data Breaches
Orbitshift shall notify Customer without undue delay, and in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware, of a Personal Data Breach affecting Personal Data processed on Customer's behalf. Such notification shall at a minimum:
- Describe the nature of the breach, including where possible the categories and approximate number of Data Subjects and records concerned;
- Provide the name and contact details of the data protection officer or other contact point;
- Describe the likely consequences of the breach;
- Describe the measures taken or proposed to address the breach, including mitigation measures.
9. Data Protection Impact Assessments
Orbitshift shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer in conducting data protection impact assessments and, where required, prior consultations with Supervisory Authorities, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Orbitshift.
10. International Transfers
Orbitshift shall not transfer Personal Data to a country outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") or UK unless:
- The European Commission or UK Secretary of State has issued an adequacy decision in respect of that country;
- Appropriate safeguards have been put in place in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses);
- One of the derogations set out in Article 49 of the EU GDPR applies.
Where Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCCs") are required, the parties agree to execute and be bound by the applicable SCCs, which are incorporated by reference into this DPA.
11. Audit Rights
Orbitshift shall make available to Customer all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA. Upon Customer's written request (no more than once per calendar year unless a breach has occurred), Orbitshift shall allow for and contribute to audits and inspections conducted by Customer or an auditor mandated by Customer, provided that:
- Customer gives at least 30 days' prior written notice;
- Any auditor is bound by confidentiality obligations acceptable to Orbitshift;
- Customer bears all costs associated with the audit unless the audit reveals a material non-compliance by Orbitshift.
12. Liability
Each party's liability under this DPA is subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability set out in the main agreement. Nothing in this DPA shall limit either party's liability to Data Subjects or Supervisory Authorities as required by applicable Data Protection Laws.
13. Term and Termination
This DPA commences on the effective date of the main agreement and continues until termination of the main agreement. Upon termination, Orbitshift shall, at Customer's election, securely delete or return all Personal Data within 90 days, unless applicable law requires retention of the Personal Data. Orbitshift shall certify in writing that it has complied with this obligation upon Customer's request.
14. General
This DPA, together with the main agreement and all schedules and annexes, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings. If any provision of this DPA is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. This DPA shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law governing the main agreement.
