If the Controller has not opposed to such transfer within 30 days of the notice, such transfer is deemed as accepted.
8.2 If the Processor engages a sub-processor located in a third country, all necessary measures will be taken to ensure that appropriate safeguards will be provided in line with the article 44 of the GDPR. The Processor will be liable for the performance of sub-processors in line with the section 7.1 of this agreement.
