“GDPR Terms” means the terms in this Attachment, under which each party makes binding commitments regarding its processing of Personal Data as required by Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Each party will comply with reasonable requests by the other party to assist with responses to such a data subject request. If a party receives a request from the other party’s data subject to exercise one or more of its rights under the GDPR in connection with the Service and the receiving party is a data processor or subprocessor, that party will redirect the data subject to make its request directly to the providing party.
