3.2. Reviews and Updates. The technical and organizational measures shall be reviewed and updated by Aircall where and when necessary. The Customer agrees that Aircall may unilaterally update the technical and organizational measures from time to time provided that such updates do not result in a material reduction of the level of protection of the Personal Data. Aircall’s obligation under Section 3.1 hereof remains unaffected.
3.3. Information. Aircall will provide the Customer with more information about securing, accessing and using Personal Data, anytime upon Customer's request.

Where Aircall has independent obligations in relation to the Data Subject rights requests, under the Applicable Data Protection Laws, the Customer undertakes to provide Aircall with all reasonable cooperation and assistance, as well as information relevant to the Data Subject request.
4.3. Regulatory Action. If Aircall receives notice (whether or not from the Customer) of, any claim, complaint, request, direction, query, investigation, proceeding or other action of any Data Subject, court, regulatory or supervisory authority, or any body, organization or association in each case which relates in any way to the Personal Data Processed by Aircall under this DPA (collectively, “Regulatory Action”), then Aircall shall, if and to the extent required by the Applicable Data Protection Laws:

Customer agrees that Aircall engages Subprocessors in connection with the provision of Aircall’s Services and that the list of the Subprocessors currently engaged by Aircall is listed on Aircall’s website: here.

This information will clearly indicate which processing activities are being subcontracted out, the name and contact details of the intended subprocessor.
5.3. Objections. To the extent Applicable Data Protection Laws grants Customer the right to object against intended modifications concerning the addition or replacement of the Subprocessors, the Customer may reasonably object to such modification. In case Customer does not send any objection to Aircall in writing within ten (10) days from receiving the information, it will be deemed to have agreed to the new Subprocessors. If Customer objects, the Parties agree to negotiate to find a solution that will satisfy both Parties’ interests.
5.4. Same obligations. Where Aircall engages another Subprocessor, it shall do so by way of a contract which imposes on the Subprocessor the same obligations as the ones imposed on Aircall under this DPA. Aircall shall ensure that the Subprocessor complies with the obligations to which the data processor is subject pursuant to this DPA and the Applicable Data Protection Laws.
5.5. Subprocessor agreements. To the extent required by the Applicable Data Protection Laws and permitted by Aircall’s confidentiality obligations, Aircall may provide, at the Customer’s request, a copy of such a Subprocessor agreement and subsequent amendments to the Customer.
