5. Sub-Processors
The Processor maintains a list of approved Sub-processors and ensures each is bound by data protection obligations equivalent to those in this DPA. The Processor will notify the Controller of any new Sub-processors and permit the Controller to raise reasonable objections. If an objection cannot be resolved, the Controller may terminate the affected Services.
6. International Data Transfers
Our primary servers are located in the European Union. Transfers from South Africa are permitted under POPIA section 72 due to GDPR's adequate level of protection. Any other international transfers are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards approved under applicable data protection law.
7. Payment Processing
Payment details are collected directly by the Merchant of Record (Dodo Payments Inc.), which acts as an independent Controller for payment information. The Processor receives only limited transaction confirmation data necessary to maintain subscription records.

The Processor implements the following Technical and Organisational Measures:
- Encryption of data in transit (TLS) and at rest
- Secure login and authentication mechanisms
- Role-based access controls
- Regular data backups
- Continuous monitoring and threat detection

Security is a shared responsibility. The Controller must appropriately configure the Services, including setting up user roles, enabling multi-factor authentication, and managing access permissions.
9. Data Breaches
In the event of a Personal Data breach, the Processor will notify the Controller without undue delay. The notification will include:
- The nature and scope of the breach
- Categories and approximate number of affected records
- Likely consequences of the breach

10. Deletion & Retention
Upon termination of the Services, Customer Data will be retained for 60 days to allow for export or account reactivation. After this period, Customer Data will be securely deleted unless retention is required by applicable law.

This DPA remains in effect for the duration of the Processor's processing of Customer Data. The obligations under this DPA survive termination until all Customer Data has been deleted or returned in accordance with Section 10.
12. Governing Law
This DPA is governed by South African law. Both parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the High Court of South Africa, Western Cape Division, Cape Town.
