  • impose appropriate contractual obligations upon the sub-processor that are no less protective than this DPA; and

These measures are described in the Information Security Measures. Execution of this DPA shall constitute execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail.

• Safeguarding Confidentiality and Security of Personal Data TestGorilla has implemented practices and policies to maintain appropriate organizational, physical and technical measures to safeguard the confidentiality and security of Customer Personal Data, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the rights and freedoms of natural persons, including as appropriate:

• Audit TestGorilla shall make available to Customer, upon written request, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, a summary copy of applicable third-party audit report(s) or certifications it maintains for its Services (e.g. ISO 27001 or SOC2 Type II standard), so that the Customer can verify TestGorilla’s compliance with this DPA, the audit standards against which it has been assessed, and the standards specified in the Security Measures.

Upon termination of this DPA or the Agreement, TestGorilla shall: (i) delete Customer Personal Data that is no longer necessary to carry out any of the purposes under this DPA or the Agreement; or (ii) upon Customer’s request, provide options to return or erase, destroy, and render unrecoverable the Customer Personal Data, where reasonably possible.
