Both parties (Controller and Processor) commit to observing the applicable Personal Data Protection Legislation and to have appointed a Data Protection Officer or someone who may act as such while being the single point of contact for Personal Data Protection related topics without configuring a conflict of interest as determined under the GDPR.

Both parties commit to having provided adequate training to their staff on the subject matters of applicable Personal Data Protection as well as IT Security.

Liability remains as defined under the GDPR for both parties (Controller and Processor).
