3.ASSISTANCE
3.1 Data Subject’s Rights Assistance.

To help Customer assess Calm’s compliance with the terms of this DPA, upon Customer’s request, Calm will make available to Customer copies of, or extracts from, Calm’s audit reports related to security (for example, its SOC 2 report).
4.2 Customer’s Audit Rights.
Calm will allow Customer (directly or through a third-party auditor subject to written confidentiality obligations) to verify Calm’s compliance with this DPA if such an audit is required by Data Protection Laws and Calm’s compliance cannot be demonstrated by means that are less burdensome on Calm (including under Section 4.1). In connection with any such audit, the auditor will: (a) observe reasonable on site access and other restrictions reasonably imposed by Calm, including that such audit must occur during Calm’s normal business hours; (b) comply with reasonable and applicable on site policies and procedures provided by Calm; and (c) not unreasonably interfere with Calm’s business activities. Customer will provide written communication of any audit findings to Calm, and the results of the audit will be the Confidential Information of Calm. Customer will provide no less than 30 days’ advance notice of its request for any such audit, and will cooperate in good faith with Calm to schedule any such audit on a mutually agreed-upon date and time (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld by either party). Customer may not make more than one such request in a calendar year, unless such request is required by a competent supervisory authority. Customer will be responsible for all costs associated with any such audits.
5.SUBPROCESSORS
Customer authorizes Calm to use subcontractors set forth in Attachment 4 to Process Customer Data in connection with the provision of Services to Customer (“Subprocessor”). Calm will notify Customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of its Subprocessors, and provide Customer with the opportunity to object to such changes. Customer will notify Calm in writing of any such objection within 10 days of receipt of Calm’s written notice of the change or will waive its right to object. If Customer provides written notice of its objection within such period and Calm determines it cannot accommodate such objection, Calm may terminate your agreement upon notice to Customer without liability. Calm will impose data protection obligations upon any Subprocessor that are no less protective than those included in this DPA. Calm will remain liable for any acts or omissions of its Subprocessors as it would for its own acts and omissions.
6.DATA TRANSFERS
6.1 Overview.
The transfer of EEA, UK, and Swiss residents’ Customer Data to a country not subject to an adequacy decision (a “Data Transfer”) will be subject to the SCCs, which are incorporated and deemed executed by this reference. If an alternative transfer mechanism for legitimizing Data Transfers (an “Alternative Mechanism”) becomes available during the term of this DPA, and Calm notifies Customer that Data Transfers can be conducted in compliance with Data Protection Law pursuant to the Alternative Mechanism, the parties will rely on the Alternative Mechanism to legitimize Data Transfers instead of the provisions that follow.
6.2 SCCs.
The parties agree to comply with the general clauses and with Module 2 (Controller to Processor) of the SCCs (which are deemed executed as of the effective date of this DPA) with Customer as the “data exporter” and Calm as the “data importer.”
6.3 Transfers Subject to Swiss Data Protection Law.
If any Customer Data subject to the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection of 19 June 1992 (the “FADP”) is subject to a Data Transfer, the parties will conduct such transfer pursuant to the SCCs with the following modifications: the competent supervisory authority in Annex I.C under Clause 13 shall be the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner insofar as the data transfer is governed by the FADP; references to a “Member State” and “EU Member State” will not be read to prevent data subjects in Switzerland from the possibility of suing for their rights in their place of habitual residence (Switzerland); and references to “GDPR” in the SCCs will be understood as references to the FADP.
6.4 Transfers Subject to the UK GDPR.
Any Customer Data that is subject to the UK GDPR and a Data Transfer will be subject to the UK IDTA, which is incorporated by this reference. Neither party can terminate the UK IDTA pursuant to Table 4 and Section 19 thereof without the written consent of the other.
