5.2 Access to Personal Data is restricted to those with a legitimate business need.

6. Security Measures

Tiquo implements appropriate technical and organisational measures (TOMs) to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, as described in Annex 2. These measures may be updated to reflect technological progress without materially reducing protection.

7. Sub-Processing

7.1 The Controller grants Tiquo general authorisation to engage Sub-processors.

7.2 A current list of Sub-processors including their names, addresses, roles, and data categories processed, is available at https://tiquo.co/legals/subprocessor-policy. The sub-processor list includes the processing location and categories of personal data processed by each sub-processor.

• Conducting or supporting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), including impact assessments for AI-assisted analytics and automated processing features;

• Providing information and access for compliance verification (see Clause 11).

12. Deletion or Return of Personal Data

Upon termination or expiry of the Agreement, Tiquo will delete or return all Personal Data within the timeframes in Annex 6, unless retention is required by law.

13. Liability

Each Party's liability under this DPA is subject to the limitations in the Agreement, except where prohibited by Applicable Data Protection Law.

14. Updates and Changes

Tiquo may update this DPA (including Annexes) to reflect legal or operational changes by providing prior written or public notice. Continued use of the services after such notice constitutes acceptance of the updated DPA.

15. Sector-Specific Regulations

The Services may be used by Customers operating across a range of sectors. Where a Customer's use of the Services involves processing personal data subject to sector-specific regulations (including but not limited to healthcare privacy laws such as HIPAA, regulations governing the processing of children's personal data such as COPPA and the ICO Age Appropriate Design Code, and transport sector passenger data regulations), the Customer remains solely responsible for ensuring its own compliance with those regulations and must not use the Services in a manner inconsistent with them. Tiquo does not, by providing the Services, assume obligations under sector-specific regulations that would otherwise apply only to the Customer, and does not offer a Business Associate Agreement or equivalent sector-specific addendum as part of the standard Services. Customers requiring such arrangements should contact Tiquo before processing regulated data on the platform.

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This DPA is governed by the laws of ENGLAND AND WALES. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of ENGLAND AND WALES.
