Except as noted in (i) regarding CCPA and CPRA requests, Seagate shall not respond to such request, complaint, or communication directly (except to direct the data subject to contact the Company) without Company's prior authorization, unless legally compelled to do so

MODULE THREE: Transfer Processor to Processor

Description of the technical and organizational measures implemented by the data importer(s) (including any relevant certifications) to ensure an appropriate level of security, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing, and the risks for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

Seagate implements, maintains, monitors and, where necessary, updates its comprehensive written information security program. Seagate's information security program contains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect Company Personal Information against anticipated threats or hazards to its security, confidentiality, or integrity (such as unauthorized access, collection, use, copying, modification, disposal, or disclosure, unauthorized, unlawful, or accidental loss, destruction, acquisition, or damage, or any other unauthorized form of Processing) (“Information Security Program”).

Seagate has a separate and dedicated Information Security team that manages Seagate's Information Security Program. This team facilitates and supports independent audits and assessments performed by third parties. Company acknowledges that the Information Security Program is subject to technical progress and development and that Seagate may update or modify such program from time to time, provided that such updates and modifications do not result in the degradation of the overall security of the Lyve Services purchased by Company.

Seagate does not review or edit, data, content, or material created, stored, or made accessible through the Lyve Services.

The following measures are in place to protect the Company Personal Data handled by Lyve Cloud Services and Lyve Mobile Services (collectively the “Lyve Services”):

Encryption of personal data: Measures that enable one to convert clearly legible information into an illegible string by means of a cryptographic process.

Seagate has implemented robust security measures to ensure Company data remains protected, including AES-256-GCM encryption at-rest for Lyve Cloud Services and TCG Enterprise, SED AES-256-bit encryption at rest for Lyve Mobile Services and support for encryption in-transit.
A key security feature of the Lyve Services is that Seagate encrypts all data before storing it, regardless of whether it is encrypted at the source. There is no option to dial back the protection. When Company chooses to end its tenancy with Lyve Services, its data will be securely erased.
Third-party data centers host Lyve Cloud Services, ensuring the highest class of data center availability and access. By design, data encryption cannot be disabled within Lyve Cloud Services. This means data is always encrypted at rest and in flight. Further, ransomware protection safeguards data from malicious attacks while object immutability protects data from accidental manipulation or deletion.

Measures for ensuring ongoing Confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services:

Confidentiality: Measures ensuring that information is accessed only by an authorized person and to prevent intrusion by unauthorized persons into systems and applications used for the Processing of personal data.
