Limitations on Use. Form Approvals will process Personal Data only: (a) in a manner consistent with documented instructions from Customer, including (i) to provide the Services, (ii) as permitted under the Agreement, and (iii) consistent with other reasonable instructions of Customer; and (b) with prior notice (unless notice is legally prohibited), as required by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, Form Approvals will not collect, retain, use, or disclose the Personal Data for any purpose other than as necessary for the specific purpose of performing the Services, including not collecting, retaining, using, or disclosing the Personal Data for a commercial purpose other than providing the Services.
Confidentiality. Form Approvals will ensure that persons authorized by Form Approvals to Process any Personal Data are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
Security. Form Approvals will protect Personal Data in accordance with requirements under Data Protection Law, including by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Data against Personal Data Breach per Form Approvals’ Security Overview.
Return or Disposal. At the choice of Customer, delete or return (or will enable Customer to delete or retrieve) all Personal Data after the end of the provision of Services (unless applicable law requires Form Approvals to store any Personal Data). To request the return or disposal of your data refer to our Privacy Policy.
Customer Obligations. Customer will not instruct Form Approvals to perform any Processing of Personal Data that violates any Data Protection Law. Form Approvals may suspend Processing based upon any Customer instructions that Form Approvals reasonably suspects violate Data Protection Law.

If Customer objects to any Subprocessor, Form Approvals may terminate the Agreement immediately upon notice to Customer without liability.
