Only to the extent that such audit of DeepJudge’s third-party certifications, audit reports and/or industry standard written audit questionnaires cannot reasonably demonstrate DeepJudge’s compliance with its obligations under the DPA, may Customer or an inspection body composed of independent members elected by Customer that is bound by a duty of confidentiality conduct an audit of DeepJudge. Any audit shall: (i) be conducted at the expense of Customer; (ii) be conducted under mutually agreed notice, scope and duration; (iii) exclude any internal accounting or financial information, trade secret, data or information of any other DeepJudge customer (including its end users), or any information that in DeepJudge’s reasonable opinion could compromise the security of its systems or premises or cause DeepJudge to be in breach of its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law or its security, confidentiality, or privacy obligations to any other DeepJudge customer or third-party; and (iv) be limited to once per calendar year.
DeepJudge will only transfer Customer Personal Data across international borders and between jurisdictions in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Law.
