  • PART D: EEA/UK SUPPLEMENTARY PROVISONS
  • Scope of this Part of this Exhibit A-2: this Part A-2.4 applies whenever Part B or Part C applies. If the parties’ compliance with their European Data Protection Legislation requirements relating to international transfers of Personal Data is affected by circumstances outside of the parties’ control, including if the Controller-Controller Clauses, the Controller-Processor Clauses or any other legal instrument for international transfers of Personal Data is invalidated, amended or replaced, then the parties will work together in good faith to reasonably resolve such non-compliance.
  • If Square Media Ltd becomes aware that any law enforcement, regulatory, judicial or governmental authority (an “Authority”) wishes to obtain access to or a copy of some or all of the Personal Data, whether on a voluntary or a mandatory basis, then Square Media Ltd shall: (i) immediately notify any affiliate of such Authority’s request; (ii) if Square Media Ltd is a Processor of the Personal Data, inform the Authority of this and that the affiliate has not authorised Square Media Ltd to disclose that Personal Data to the Authority; (iii) inform the Authority that such requests should be made to affiliate (as the original Controller) in writing; and (iv) not provide the Authority with such Personal Data unless and until authorised by affiliate.

  • Paragraphs 4.3 and 4.4 shall not apply where Square Media Ltd has a reasonable and good-faith belief that urgent access is necessary to prevent an imminent risk of serious harm to any individual. In such event, Square Media Ltd shall notify affiliates as soon as possible following such Authority’s access and provide affiliates with full details of the same, unless and to the extent legally prohibited from doing so.
  • Square Media Ltd shall not knowingly disclose Personal Data in a massive, disproportionate and indiscriminate manner that goes beyond what is necessary in a democratic society.
