(F) Taking into account the nature of Processing and information available to Dolby, reasonably assist Customer in complying with its obligations under Data Protection Law, in particular Customer’s obligation to implement appropriate data security measures, to carry out a data protection impact assessment, and to consult the competent supervisory authority or other regulatory agency, provided that such assistance does not violate applicable law or confidentiality or contractual obligations.

IV. Data Transfers

Where Dolby transfers Personal Data to a jurisdiction outside the EEA, United Kingdom or Switzerland, Dolby shall transfer the Personal Data in accordance with Data Protection Law.

To the extent that the GDPR applies to Personal Data and such data originates from the European Economic Area, then, to the extent required to comply with GDPR, the Parties agree that the use of such Personal Data is subject to the Standard Contractual Clauses annexed to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 (the “EU Standard Contractual Clauses”), with Module 2 applying and with none of the optional clauses applying, except Clause 7 and Option 2 of Clause 9(a) (with the time period for prior notice of Sub-Processor changes as described in Section V(B) below). For purposes of Clause 17 (Option 1), the EU Standard Contractual Clauses will be governed by the law of the Netherlands. For purposes of Clause 18(b), disputes will be resolved before the courts of the Netherlands. For these purposes, Dolby is the “data importer” and Customer is the “data exporter” as defined in the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. The data subjects, categories of data, purposes of processing, and other descriptions of the data transfer, are as set forth in Schedule I hereto, which serves as Annex I of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Dolby’s technical and organizational measures for the protection of Personal Data, available in the Customer Dashboard or otherwise upon request, serves as Annex II of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Schedule II hereto, which lists the Sub-Processors that Dolby engages to Process Personal Data, serves as Annex III of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. To the extent that the UK GDPR applies to Personal Data and such data originates from the United Kingdom, then, to the extent required to comply with the UK GDPR, the Parties agree that the use of such Personal Data is subject to the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the UK Information Commissioner under SS119A(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018 (“UK Data Transfer Agreement”). Schedule I hereto includes the parties’ details and contact information for Table 1 of the UK Data Transfer Agreement. The above paragraph of this Section IV includes the information for Table 2 of the UK Data Transfer Agreement. For Table 3 of the UK Data Transfer Agreement: (a) the list of parties is found in the “List of Parties” section of Schedule I hereto; (b) the description of transfer is found in the “Description of Transfer” section of Schedule I hereto; (c) Annex II is available in the Customer Dashboard or otherwise upon request; and Schedule II hereto, which lists the Sub-Processors that Dolby engages to Process Personal Data, serves as Annex III of the UK Data Transfer Agreement. For Table 4 of the UK Data Transfer Agreement, both the importer and exporter may end the UK Data Transfer Agreement in accordance with its terms.

V. Sub-Processing

(A) Customer shall not share, transfer, disclose, make available or otherwise provide access to any Personal Data to a Sub-Processor, unless Customer has authorized Dolby to do so.

(B) Customer hereby authorizes the Sub-Processors listed in Schedule II to Process Personal Data. To the extent required by Data Protection Law, when any new Sub-Processor is engaged, Dolby shall give Customer written notice of the engagement at least 30 days prior to the new Sub-Processor Processing Personal Data. Dolby may provide such notice to Customer by updating the list of Sub-Processors located on its website dolby.io.

(C) Customer may object to the engagement of a new Sub-Processor by terminating the Terms, provided that the grounds for such objection are reasonable and based on compliance with Data Protection Laws and Customer sends written notice of termination to Dolby within 10 days of Dolby providing notice of the new Sub-Processor pursuant to section V(B). Any termination under this section shall be deemed to be without fault by either Party and shall be subject to the terms of the Terms. This termination right is Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy if Customer objects to any new Sub-Processor.

(D) Where Dolby engages a Sub-Processor, Dolby shall enter into written agreements with the Sub-Processor that imposes obligations on the Sub-Processor that are the substantially similar to those imposed on Dolby under this Addendum.

VI. Data Security

(A) Dolby shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data in Dolby’s possession, custody or control in accordance with Data Protection Law. A list of Dolby’s technical and organizational measures is available in the Customer Dashboard or otherwise upon request.

(B) Upon termination of the Terms, Dolby shall return to Customer, or at Customer’s request, securely destroy or render unreadable or undecipherable, all Personal Data in Dolby’s possession, custody or control, subject to applicable law. In the event applicable law does not permit Dolby to perform such delivery or destruction of the Personal Data, Dolby warrants that it shall protect the confidentiality of the Personal Data in accordance with this Addendum.

VII. Data Breach Notification

(A) Dolby shall inform Customer without undue delay of any Personal Data Breach of which Dolby becomes aware. Dolby shall promptly investigate such Personal Data Breach and cooperate with Customer in reasonable and lawful efforts to prevent, mitigate or rectify such breach. Dolby shall provide such assistance as required to enable Customer to satisfy Customer’s obligation to notify the relevant supervisory authority and Data Subjects of a Personal Data Breach under Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR, provided that such cooperation does not violate applicable law or confidentiality or contractual obligations, disclose legal advice or interfere with Dolby’s business operations.

VIII. Audit

(A) Dolby shall make available to Customer information reasonably necessary to demonstrate Dolby’s compliance with the obligations set forth in this Addendum, provided that such information does not violate applicable law or confidentiality or contractual obligations or contain legal advice.

(B) During the term of the Terms, Dolby will conduct an assessment annually to validate the effectiveness of the technical and organizational security measures implemented by Dolby pursuant to the Addendum. Such assessment will be conducted (i) by a Dolby-appointed qualified third party and (ii) under an appropriate assessment standard or criteria selected by Dolby. Upon Customer’s request, Dolby agrees to provide Customer, on an annual basis and for no additional fee, (i) a report that reasonably summarizes the findings of the most recent assessment conducted pursuant to this section, and (ii) any other documents relevant to the security or compliance of the service that are made generally available by Dolby to customers of its services. Such report and information will be deemed Dolby’s confidential information.

IX. Miscellaneous

(A) This Addendum shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction specified in the Terms.

(B) If any provision of this Addendum is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in effect.

(C) All notices to Dolby provided under this Addendum must be in writing and sent to Dolby Laboratories, Inc., 1275 Market Street; San Francisco, CA 94103; Attention: Privacy Legal and/or via email at [email protected].
