Security

Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, EBANX shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to that risk.

In assessing the appropriate level of security, EBANX shall take into account the risks that are presented by the processing of Personal Data, in particular from a Personal Data Breach.

Subprocessing

EBANX shall not appoint (or disclose any Personal Data to) any Subprocessor unless required or authorized by the Merchant or necessary for the provision of the Services.

Data Subject Rights

Taking into account the nature of the processing, EBANX shall assist the Merchant by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as possible, for the fulfilment of the Merchant obligations to respond to requests to exercise Data Subject rights under the Applicable Laws.

Data Protection Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation

EBANX shall provide reasonable assistance to the Merchant with any data protection impact assessments, insofar as possible, and prior consultations with Supervising Authorities, which Merchant reasonably considers to be required whether the processing would result in high risk in the absence of measures taken by EBANX to mitigate the risk, in each case solely in relation to processing of Personal Data by EBANX.
