This clause establishes the procedural framework governing third-party processor engagement under data protection regulations. It conditions sub-processor use on advance notification and creates a structured objection process rather than requiring affirmative approval for each processor change.
Interpretive note: The adequacy of the general authorization and notification mechanism under GDPR Article 28(2) may be subject to different interpretations by individual EU supervisory authorities.
Customers receive notification of sub-processor changes and retain the ability to object in writing within the specified period. If no objection is submitted within the timeframe specified in the notification, the sub-processor authorization proceeds as stated in the terms.
