2.1 The Company and the Supplier acknowledge that, for the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, the Company is the Controller and the Supplier is the Processor of any Company Data. 

2.2 The GDPR requires that a written agreement be entered into between a Controller and a Processor in order to allow the processing of personal data by the Processor on behalf of the Controller. For this reason, the parties have agreed to enter into a supplementary agreement to the Main Agreement pursuant to these data processing terms (this Processing Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, this Processing Agreement is expressly incorporated into the Main Agreement.

2.3 The Schedule to this Processing Agreement sets out the scope, nature and purpose of processing by the Supplier, the duration of the processing and the types of Company Data and categories of Data Subject.

3.2 If the Supplier considers that any instruction from the Company contravenes the Data Protection Legislation, it shall immediately notify the Company, giving reasonable details.

3.10 The Supplier will ensure that all of the Supplier Personnel:
