   10. Obligations of Seagate Personnel and Sub-Processors. Seagate shall ensure that any persons authorized to Process Company Personal Information have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.

Seagate will promptly inform Company in writing if it receives: (i) a request from a data subject concerning the Processing of Company Personal Information except for CCPA and CPRA requests where Seagate shall inform the requestor that the request cannot be acted upon because the request has been sent to a Service Provider, as defined in the CCPA and CPRA; or (ii) a complaint, communication, or request relating to Company's obligations under Applicable Privacy Laws. 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
       
   13. Requests for Disclosure. Company acknowledges that Seagate may be required to disclose, without advance notice or Company consent, Company Personal Information to authorities in connection with any investigation, audit, or inquiry in connection with the services.

Seagate shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent and limit any disclosure and to preserve the confidentiality of Company Personal Information.

MODULE TWO: Transfer Controller to Processor

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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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:

1. 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.
   • Seagate has a dedicated access control policy.
   • Differentiated rights system based on security groups and access control lists.
   • Password policy, including guidelines for handling passwords.
   • Passwords require a defined minimum complexity. Initial passwords must be changed after the first login.
   • Access right management including authorization concept, implementation of access restrictions, implementation of the “need-to-know” principle, managing of individual access rights.
   • Training and confidentiality agreements for internal staff and external staff.
   • Network separation.
   • Authorization requests are tracked, logged, and audited on a regular basis.
   • Removal of access for employees upon termination or change of employment.
   • Account provisioning and de-provisioning processes.
   • Segregation of responsibilities and duties to reduce opportunities for unauthorized or unintentional modification or misuse.

   • Non-disclosure agreements with third parties.
   • Separation of networks based on trust levels.
2. Integrity: Measures ensuring that Company Personal Information cannot be read, copied, modified, or removed without authorization during electronic transmission or transport, and that it is possible to check and establish whether and by whom data have been input into data processing systems, modified or removed.
   • Logging authentication and monitored logical system access.
   • Logging of data access including, but not limited to access, modification, entry and deletion of data.
   • Documentation of data entry rights and logging security related entries.
3. Availability and resilience:Measures that reduce the risk to Company Personal Information from accidental destruction or loss due to internal or external influences and ensure the ability to withstand attacks or to quickly restore systems to working order after an attack.

Measures for ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to the Lyve Cloud Services system in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident: Measures that ensure the possibility to quickly restore the system in the event of a physical or technical incident.

Access to program source code and associated items (such as designs, specifications, verification, and validation plans) is restricted in order to prevent the introduction of unauthorized functionality and to avoid unintentional changes, as well as to maintain the confidentiality of intellectual property.
3. A formal user registration and de-registration process for managing identifications is implemented to assign access rights. This includes issuing unique user identifications to identify the person authorized access to the Lyve Services (shared identifications are not permitted) and immediately disabling or removing identifications when someone terminates employment or when a contractor/vendor terminates a contract, or no longer requires access.
4. Control of the allocation of secret authentication information (e.g., passwords, cryptographic keys, hardware tokens, or smart cards) must be maintained through a formal process that requires users to acknowledge, as part of their terms and conditions of employment, to keep this information confidential.

Measures for the protection of Data during transmission to Lyve Cloud Services:

1. Lyve Cloud Services has implemented robust security measures to ensure Company Personal Information remains protected, including encryption at-rest and support for encryption in-transit.

2. Lyve Cloud Services incorporate physical and environmental security measures in facilities to minimize risk, avoid threats and eliminate vulnerabilities in order to protect information systems and personnel.
3. Physical and environmental security is designed to prevent unauthorized physical access, damage and interference to Lyve Cloud Service’s information assets and systems.
4. Lyve Cloud Services protect secure areas with the establishment of entry controls to ensure only authorized personnel have access. The controls must include recording visitor access, restricting access where sensitive information is maintained to only authorized personnel, requiring users to wear a visible identification badge, and limiting individuals to only those physical areas needed to conduct business.
5. Equipment, information, or software assets must not be taken off-site without authorization. The time limit for asset removal must be agreed upon by everyone involved and the return verified. Assets must be recorded as being moved off-site and the same record updated when the assets are returned.

Measures for ensuring events logging:

1. Remote logging.
2. An Information Security Management System Policy (ISMS) is in place.

Measures for ensuring system configuration, including default configuration: Measures to ensure that all in-scope systems and devices are compliant with baseline configuration settings.
