7.2 Future Suboperators

8. Security Measures
PZX implements the following technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data:
Encryption of data in transit (TLS) and at rest;
Tenant isolation — each Controller's data is logically separated from other tenants;
Role-based access control limiting access to authorized personnel;
Security monitoring and logging;
Regular access reviews.
PZX may update these measures over time, provided that updates do not materially reduce the overall level of protection.
9. Data Subject Rights
PZX will assist the Controller in fulfilling its obligations to respond to Data Subject rights requests under applicable law, including requests for access, correction, deletion, portability, and opposition.
The Controller is responsible for receiving and initially evaluating Data Subject requests. Where fulfilling a request requires action by PZX, the Controller will submit the request to PZX via the contact channel in Section 13. PZX will respond within 15 business days.
10. International Data Transfers
Personal Data processed under this DPA may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Brazil, including the United States, where PZX's Suboperators operate. Such transfers are conducted based on adequate contractual safeguards in accordance with Article 33 of the LGPD.
For Controllers subject to the GDPR, transfers to Suboperators outside the European Economic Area are governed by the applicable transfer mechanisms, including Standard Contractual Clauses where required.
11. Audit Rights
Upon the Controller's written request, PZX will make available information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA. PZX may fulfill this obligation by providing up-to-date certifications, security documentation, or summary audit reports.
The Controller may request an on-site audit no more than once per calendar year, with at least 30 days' written notice and at the Controller's cost. Any audit must be conducted in a manner that does not disrupt PZX's operations or compromise the security or confidentiality of other customers' data.
12. Term, Termination, and Data Deletion
This DPA remains in force for the duration of the Agreement.
Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement:
The Controller will have 30 days to export its data from the Services;
After this period, PZX will delete all Personal Data processed under this DPA within 30 days, including copies held by Suboperators where technically feasible;
PZX will provide written confirmation of deletion upon the Controller's request;
PZX may retain Personal Data beyond this period solely to the extent required by applicable law, in which case the data will remain subject to the confidentiality obligations of this DPA.
13. Liability
Each party's liability under this DPA is subject to the limitations set out in the Agreement. Nothing in this DPA limits either party's liability for obligations that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable data protection law.
14. Governing Law
This DPA is governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, in particular the LGPD (Law No. 13,709/2018). Any disputes arising from this DPA that cannot be resolved amicably shall be submitted to the courts of the District of São Paulo, State of São Paulo.
