Upon request, DeepDataFusion will provide the applicable transfer mechanisms.

8. Data Subject Rights

Taking into account the nature of the processing, DeepDataFusion will assist Customer, by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as possible, in fulfilling Customer’s obligations to respond to requests to exercise data subjects’ rights. Requests received directly by DeepDataFusion will be relayed to Customer without undue delay, unless prohibited by law.

DeepDataFusion will maintain records of processing activities and provide reasonable assistance with data protection impact assessments (DPIAs), consultations with supervisory authorities, and security questionnaires, to the extent required by law and relevant to the Services.

Once per 12-month period, and subject to reasonable notice and confidentiality, Customer may audit DeepDataFusion’s compliance with this DPA through (a) responses to a security questionnaire, and/or (b) review of third-party attestations where available. On-site audits are permitted only where required by law or regulator, limited in scope to this DPA and the Services, and scheduled to minimize disruption.

12. Return & Deletion

Upon termination or expiry of the Services, and at Customer’s choice, DeepDataFusion will delete or return Customer Personal Data, except where retention is required by law or legitimate recordkeeping (e.g., logs/backups for limited periods).
