  3. (c) The Customer must comply with all obligations it has as a Controller under Data Protection Laws and must not use the Services or provide Customer Personal Data to Wellio to the extent that doing so would violate any applicable Data Protection Laws.

2.4 Transfer of Personal Data

  1. (a) The Customer acknowledges that Wellio may transfer and process Customer Personal Data in locations where Wellio, its affiliates, or its Sub-processors maintain data processing operations.

Wellio will provide the IDTA to the Customer upon request. The IDTA will be incorporated by reference and form part of this DPA.
  3. (c) If the Customer Personal Data is protected under the GDPR, by entering into this DPA, to the extent Wellio's processing of Customer Personal Data involves a Restricted Transfer, the Customer agrees to enter into Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. In such instances, Wellio will provide the Standard Contractual Clauses to the Customer, and they will be incorporated by reference and form part of this DPA.

2.5 Wellio Personnel

  1. (a) Wellio shall take reasonable steps to ensure that access to the Customer Personal Data is strictly limited to those employees, agents, and contractors who need to access the relevant Customer Personal Data, as strictly necessary for the purposes of the Agreement, and to comply with Data Protection Laws.

  2. (b) Security measures will include, where appropriate, measures for the pseudonymisation and encryption of Personal Data; the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems and services; the ability to restore the availability of and access to Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and a process for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.
