In the event that any request, correspondence, enquiry or complaint from a data subject, regulatory or third party, including, but not limited to law enforcement, is made directly to Rainmaker Bots in connection with Rainmaker Bots's Processing of Client Personal Data, Rainmaker Bots will inform Client providing details of the same, to the extent legally permitted. Unless legally obligated to do so, Rainmaker Bots will not respond to any such request, inquiry or complaint without Client's prior consent.

Rainmaker Bots may Process Client Personal Data to create de-identified data for Rainmaker Bots's legitimate business purposes.

10. Audits
Rainmaker Bots will make available information to Client at Client's request which is necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA and allow for any audits, including inspections, conducted by Client or another auditor, as requested by Client on reasonable, legitimate grounds for suspecting a breach of this DPA.
11. International Data Transfers
Client authorizes Rainmaker Bots and its subprocessors to Transfer Client Personal Data across international borders, including from the UK or European Economic Area to the United States. Any international Transfer of Client Personal Data from the UK or European Economic Area to a Third Country must be supported by an approved EU adequacy mechanism.

15. Updates
Rainmaker Bots may update the terms of this DPA from time to time; provided, however, Rainmaker Bots will provide at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Client when an update is required as a result of (a) the release of new products or services or material changes to any of the existing Services; (b) changes in Applicable Data Protection Law; or (c) a merger, acquisition, or other similar transaction.
