  2. If, in individual cases, inspections by the Client or an inspector commissioned by the Client are necessary, these shall be carried out during normal business hours without disrupting operations after notification and taking into account a reasonable lead time. The Contractor may make such inspections dependent on prior notification with a reasonable lead time and on the signing of a confidentiality agreement with regard to the data of other customers and the technical and organizational measures that have been set up. If the inspector commissioned by the Client is in a competitive relationship with the Contractor, the Contractor shall have a right of objection against the auditor.
  3. Should a data protection supervisory authority or any other sovereign supervisory authority of the Customer carry out an inspection, (2) shall apply accordingly in principle.

The Contractor shall carefully select a subprocessor, paying particular attention to the suitability of the technical and organizational measures taken by the sub-processor, and shall regularly review the sub-processor's compliance with the legal and contractual data protection requirements.
  4. The Contractor shall ensure that the agreement reached between it and the subprocessor is governed by a written contract that contains at least the same data protection obligations for the subprocessor that are set forth in this Agreement for the Contractor. To the extent applicable to the Client, the Contractor shall also agree on the professional requirements of the Principal pursuant to § 43e BRAO in relation to the subprocessor.
  5. The disclosure of personal data to a subprocessor is only permitted if the Contractor has satisfied itself in a documented manner that the subprocessor fully complies with its obligations and that a contract has been concluded in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
