- allow all data subjects to exercise their legal rights under applicable personal data protection law and comply with the terms of Clause EIGHT, even where the subject attempts to exercise those rights by approaching the Processor
SIX. Rights and obligations of the Processor: in accordance with applicable personal data protection law, the Processor must:
- 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 organisation, unless required to do so by 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;

SEVEN. Rights of the data subject: if the data subject directs any request or exercises any of the rights provided for in applicable personal data protection law, the Controller and/or the Processor shall promptly respond by providing the data subject with information on the actions requested and carried out, doing so in all cases within one month of receiving the request. This period may be extended for a further two months if necessary, depending on the complexity of the request and the number of requests.
Where the Controller and/or the Processor fails to process the data subject’s request, it shall inform the data subject without delay, and in all cases within one month of receiving the request, of the reasons for its failure to act and of the data subject’s right to lodge a claim with a Control Authority and institute legal proceedings.
Responses to requests to exercise rights will be sent or made using the same channel of communication as that used by the data subject, unless the latter requests a different channel for the response.
EIGHT. International data transfers: international transfers of personal data may proceed only after satisfying the requirements prescribed by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos), and all other applicable domestic or European Union law or regulations.
If an international data transfer is to be made, or has been made, a separate document independent from this services agreement must be signed in order to govern the resulting data transfer and processing. This document will be binding on the parties from the time it is signed. Any such binding document will be attached hereto as an annex.
If the Processor decides to carry out international data transfers without the Controller’s blessing, it will also be considered a data controller and will be held personally liable for any breaches it may commit.
NINE. Breach of data security: where a data security breach has occurred, the Controller and/or the Processor shall, when instructed to do so by a control authority, or because of a change in the law governing disclosure or a delegated act, inform the competent Control Authority without undue delay and, insofar as possible, within 72 hours of the occurrence of that breach.
TEN. Rescission, termination and extinction: the rescission, termination or extinction of the contractual relationship governing the provision of services between the Controller and the Processor will require the latter to retain the personal data furnished by the former to the extent that it is legally obligated to retain that data.
Once the prescription period for seeking liability has elapsed, all personal data must be destroyed or returned to the Controller, as must any medium or document containing any kind of personal data.
