If it is commercially reasonable ACCOUNTSENTINEL will review the possibility of finding another, equivalent sub-processor.
5.4 ACCOUNTSENTINEL and the sub-processor shall enter into a written data processing agreement that imposes substantively equivalent obligations on the sub-processor as those specified in this DPA and ACCOUNTSENTINEL shall ensure that the sub-processor provide appropriate level of protection for Customer Data as required by the Data Protection Legislation.

PUBLIC DATABASES AND PUBLICLY AVAILABLE PERSONAL DATA

The notification shall include all available significant information on the circumstances of the Personal Data Breach.

Where proportionate in relation to the processing, the above measures shall include the implementation of appropriate data protection policies by Controller.
8.3 Controller shall inform the data subjects in accordance with Article 13-14 of the GDPR.
