      2. Curve shall not be liable for any losses sustained or incurred by the Customer arising directly or indirectly from Curve's failure or delay to perform any of its obligations; and

      2. is required to be disclosed under Applicable Law, by court order or by any regulatory body of competent jurisdiction (but then only to the extent and for the purpose required),

provided that a particular disclosed or discovered use, combination, analysis, form or collection of information will not be in the public domain simply because it could be re-created using information in the public domain.

General

1. If and to the extent that Curve processes any Personal Data on the Customer's behalf when performing its obligations under this Agreement and providing the Services, the parties record their intention that the Customer shall be the Controller and Curve shall be a Processor of such Personal Data, other than for audit, legal and marketing reasons, where the parties acknowledge Curve shall be acting as an independent controller.

   2. otherwise required by Applicable Law (and Curve shall inform the Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless applicable law prevents it doing so on important grounds of public interest).

7. Taking into account the state of technical development and the nature of processing, Curve shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Customer Personal Data against accidental, unauthorised or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or access, which shall be determined by Curve from time to time.

8. Curve shall:

   1. not permit any processing of Customer Personal Data by any agent, subcontractor or other third party (except for those organisations set out in schedule 2, as well as its or its Sub-Processors' own employees in the course of their employment that are subject to an enforceable obligation of confidence with regards to Customer Personal Data) without the written authorisation of the Customer which may be either a general authorisation for third parties or a specific authorisation for a specific third party;

   2. prior to the relevant Sub-Processor carrying out any processing activities in respect of the Customer Personal Data, appoint each Sub-Processor under a written contract containing materially the same obligations as under this clause 11 (including those relating to sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures) that is enforceable by Curve and ensure each such Sub-Processor complies with all such obligations;

   3. remain fully liable to the Customer under this Agreement for all the acts and omissions of each Sub-Processor as if they were its own; and

9. Curve shall (at the Customer's cost):

   1. assist the Customer in ensuring compliance with the Customer's obligations pursuant to articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR (and any similar obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws) taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Curve, and report any Personal Data Breaches as soon as is reasonably practicable; and

   2. taking into account the nature of the processing, assist the Customer (by appropriate technical and organisational measures), insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of the Customer's obligations to respond to requests for exercising the Data Subjects' rights under Chapter III of the GDPR (and any similar obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws) in respect of any Customer Personal Data.

10. Curve shall not process Customer Personal Data outside the European Economic Area without the Customer's prior authorisation (which may be by email). For the purposes of this clause, the European Economic Area shall be deemed to include the United Kingdom even if the United Kingdom leaves the EEA.

11. Curve shall, in accordance with Data Protection Laws, make available to the Customer such information that is in its possession or control as is necessary to demonstrate Curve's compliance with the obligations placed on it under this clause 11 and to demonstrate compliance with the obligations on each party imposed by article 28 of the GDPR (and under any equivalent Data Protection Laws), and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, by the Customer (or another auditor mandated by the Customer) for this purpose (subject to a maximum of one audit request in any 12 month period), and Curve may offer its own audits or assessments for satisfying this purpose.

12. On the end of the provision of the Services relating to the processing of Customer Personal Data, at the Customer's cost and the Customer's option, Curve shall either:

    1. maintain the Customer Personal Data as part of its archive service; 

    2. return all of the Customer Personal Data to the Customer; or
