Nuance only has access to parts of the records via remote access over Company’s computer system in connection with the provision of the Services set forth in the Main Agreement. Nuance shall own all intellectual property rights in all enhancements and improvements to its software and Services that result from its Processing of Personal Data.

3.4 Confidentiality. Without prejudice to any existing contractual arrangements between the Parties, Nuance shall treat all Personal Data as strictly confidential.

Nuance shall not be responsible for incidents that are caused by Company or Company’s end users.

3.10 Deletion of Personal Data. Upon Company’s written request, or as reasonably practicable following the termination of this DPA or the Main Agreement, Nuance shall delete all Personal Data, except to the extent applicable law requires Nuance to continue to store the Personal Data. Company acknowledges that Nuance’s deletion of Personal Data represents compliance with any legal obligation to return Personal Data to Company.

3.11 Audit and Records. Subject to reasonable prior notice from Company, Nuance shall provide Company with reasonable evidence to demonstrate Nuance’s compliance with this DPA and Data Protection Laws and shall allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by Company or another auditor mandated by Company. Company’s right of audit under Data Protection Laws may be satisfied by Nuance through Nuance providing to Company:

(a) an audit report not older than 18 months by a registered and independent external auditor demonstrating that Nuance’s technical and organizational measures described in the Description of Technical and Organizational Measures are sufficient and in accordance with an accepted industry audit standard such as SSAE 18, SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, ISO 27001, ISAE 3402; and/or

Before the commencement of any such on-site audit, Company and Nuance shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit in addition to the reimbursement rate for which Company shall be responsible. All reimbursement rates shall be reasonable, taking into account the resources expended by Nuance. Company shall promptly notify Nuance with information regarding any noncompliance discovered during the course of an audit and allow reasonable time for remediation.

(d) The Parties agree that when carrying out audit procedures relevant to the protection of Personal Data, Company shall take all reasonable measures to limit any impact on Nuance and Nuance’s usual course of business operations.

4. SECURITY

Taking into account the most recent available technology, 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, Nuance will maintain appropriate technical and organizational protections as set forth in the Description of Technical and Organizational Measures.

Within ten (10) business days of receiving notice of a sub-processor change, Company may object by providing written notice to Nuance. The notice shall describe the basis for Company’s objection, which must have reasonable grounds. Failure to notify an objection during such time period shall constitute waiver of the right to object. If Company gives written notice of objection, Nuance and Company will discuss the objection in good faith to seek to resolve it. If no resolution is found within 30 days after initial notice of objection is given, Company may terminate the affected Company’s Services on 60 days’ written notice, such notice to be given no later than 45 days after the date of the initial notice of objection.
