Where Licensee engages sub-processors in an arrangement that involves a Restricted Transfer, Licensee shall ensure that an adequate safeguard is in place between the Licensee and the sub-processor to protect the transferred personal data in compliance with DP Laws. Licensee shall make available evidence of such safeguard to Similarweb on reasonable request.
6. Each Party will, on request, provide all assistance, information and cooperation reasonably necessary to enable the other Party to comply with DP Laws in relation to the personal data, in particular with respect to responding to requests by data subjects and/or supervisory authorities, and personal data breaches.
