all necessary appropriate consents and notices in place to
enable lawful transfer of the personal data to Mailslicer for
the duration and purposes of this Agreement.
Data Protection Legislation: means the data privacy laws
applicable to the processing services provided by the Parties to
each other, including, where applicable, the Directive 95/46/EC,
as amended or replaced by any subsequent regulation, directive
or other legal instrument of the European Union including by the
GDPR or similar law, the Privacy and Electronic Communications
Regulations 2003 or the e-Privacy Regulation 2017, or the

guidance, rules, requirements, directions, guidelines,
recommendations, advice, codes of practice, policies, measures
or publications of the Information Commissioner’s Office, other

in any relevant jurisdiction;
The personal data may be transferred or stored outside the EEA
or the country where the Customer and the Users are located in
order to carry out the Services and Mailslicer other obligations
under this agreement.
The Customer will ensure that it has all necessary appropriate
consents and notices in place to enable lawful transfer of the
personal data to Mailslicer for the duration and purposes of
this agreement so that Mailslicer may lawfully use, process and
transfer the personal data in accordance with this agreement on
the Customer behalf.
Mailslicer shall, in relation to any personal data processed in
connection with the performance by Mailslicer of its obligations
under this agreement:
(a) process that personal data only on the Customer
documented written instructions unless Mailslicer is required by
the laws of any member of the European Union or by the laws of
the European Union applicable to Mailslicer . Where Mailslicer
is relying on Applicable Laws as the basis for processing
personal data, Mailslicer shall promptly notify the Customer of
this before performing the processing required by the Applicable
Laws unless those Applicable Laws prohibit Mailslicer from so
notifying the Customer; (b) not transfer any personal
data outside of the European Economic Area and the United
Kingdom unless the following conditions are fulfilled:
(i) the Customer or Mailslicer has provided appropriate
safeguards in relation to the transfer; (ii) the data
subject has enforceable rights and effective legal remedies;
(iii)
Mailslicer complies with its obligations under the Data
Protection Legislation by providing an adequate level of
protection to any personal data that is transferred; and
(iv) Mailslicer complies with reasonable instructions
notified to it in advance by the Customer with respect to the
processing of the personal data; (c) assist the Customer,
at the Customer cost, in responding to any request from a data
subject and in ensuring compliance with its obligations under

(d) notify
the Customer without undue delay on becoming aware of a personal

(f) maintain complete and accurate records and
information to demonstrate its compliance with this Schedule 1
and immediately inform the Customer if, in the opinion of
Mailslicer, an instruction infringes the Data Protection
Legislation.
Each party shall ensure that it has in place appropriate
technical and organizational measures, reviewed and approved by
the other party, to protect against unauthorized or unlawful
processing of personal data and against accidental loss or
destruction of, or damage to, personal data, appropriate to the
harm that might result from the unauthorized or unlawful
processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the
nature of the data to be protected, having regard to the state
of technological development and the cost of implementing any
measures (those measures may include, where appropriate,
pseudonymising and encrypting personal data, ensuring
confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its
systems and services, ensuring that availability of and access
to personal data can be restored in a timely manner after an
incident, and regularly assessing and evaluating the
effectiveness of the technical and organizational measures
adopted by it).

which Mailslicer confirms reflect and will continue to reflect the
requirements of the Data Protection Legislation.
