11. Audits.

iii. While it is the parties’ intention ordinarily to rely on the provision of the documentation to demonstrate Intercom’s compliance with this DPA and the provisions of Article 28 of the GDPR, Intercom shall permit Customer or its Auditor to carry out an audit, at Customer’s cost and expense, (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of Intercom), of Intercom’s processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement upon Customer’s written request for an audit, subject to the terms of this Section.

Any such audit shall be subject to Intercom’s security and confidentiality terms and guidelines, may only be performed a maximum of once annually and will be restricted to only data relevant to Customer. Where the Auditor is a third-party, Intercom may object in writing to such Auditor, if in Intercom's reasonable opinion, the Auditor is not suitably qualified or is a direct competitor of Intercom. Any such objection by Intercom will require Customer to either appoint another Auditor or conduct the audit itself. Any expenses incurred by an Auditor in connection with any review of reports or an audit shall be borne exclusively by the Auditor. For clarity, the exercise of audit rights under the SCCs shall be as described in this Section 11 (Audits)

iv. Intercom uses external auditors to verify the adequacy of its security measures with respect to its processing of Customer Personal Data. A description of Intercom’s certifications and standards for audit can be found at https://trust.intercom.com.

Customer acknowledges that Intercom and its Sub-processors may transfer and process personal data to and in the United States of America and other locations in which Intercom, its Affiliates or its Sub-processors maintain data processing operations, as more particularly described in the Sub-processor Page. Intercom shall ensure that such transfers are made in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Legislation and this DPA.

ii. Transfer Mechanism. The parties agree that when the transfer of personal data from Customer (as “data exporter”) to Intercom (as “data importer”) is a Restricted Transfer, Applicable Data Protection Legislation requires that appropriate safeguards are put in place. For the purposes of such Restricted Transfers from Customer to Intercom, the parties rely on Intercom’s certification under the EU-U.S Data Privacy Framework, the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework and the UK-US Data Privacy Framework (together, the “DPF”) operated by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

5. Clause 13(a) and Part C of Annex I are not used and the "competent supervisory authority" is the UK Information Commissioner or Swiss Federal Data Protection Information Commissioner (as applicable);

iii. Alternative Transfer Mechanism. To the extent that Intercom adopts an alternative data export mechanism (including any new version of or successor to the DPF or Standard Contractual Clauses adopted pursuant to Applicable Data Protection Legislation) ("Alternative Transfer Mechanism"), the Alternative Transfer Mechanism shall upon notice to Customer and an opportunity to object, apply instead of any applicable transfer mechanism described in this DPA (but only to the extent such Alternative Transfer Mechanism complies with Applicable Data Protection Legislation applicable to Europe and extends to territories to which Customer Personal Data and Account Data is transferred).

13. Cooperation and Data Subject Rights.

i. Data Subject Rights. Intercom provides Customer with a number of self-service features via the Services, including the ability to delete, obtain a copy of, or restrict use of Customer Personal Data. Customer may use such self-service features to assist in complying with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law with respect to responding to Third Party Requests from data subjects via the Services at no additional cost. Upon Customer’s request, Intercom shall, taking into account the nature of the processing, provide reasonable assistance to Customer where possible and at Customer’s cost and expense, to enable Customer to respond to requests from a data subject seeking to exercise their rights under Applicable Data Protection Legislation. In the event that such request is made directly to Intercom, if Intercom can, through reasonable means, identify the Customer as the controller of the Customer personal data of a data subject, Intercom shall promptly inform Customer of the same. As between the Parties, Customer shall have sole discretion and responsibility in responding to the rights asserted by any individual in relation to Customer Personal Data.
