In such case, IntraFind will refund the unused portion of any prepaid fees received by the Client from IntraFind for the infringing item.

In this case, the Processor shall also always inform the Controller of any intended change regarding the involvement or replacement of other Processors.
If subcontractors in a third country are to be involved, the Contractor shall ensure that an appropriate level of data protection is guaranteed at the respective subcontractor (e.g. by concluding an agreement based on the EU standard data protection clauses).

In this case, the intended change may not be implemented.
8 Technical and organizational measures according to § 32 GDPR ($ 28 (3) sentence 2 lit. GDPR).
A level of protection appropriate to the risk to the rights and freedoms of the natural persons concerned by the processing shall be ensured for the specific commissioned processing. To this end, the protection objectives of § 32 (1) of the GDPR, such as confidentiality, integrity and availability of the systems and services as well as their resilience in relation to the type, scope, circumstances and purpose of the processing operations are taken into account in such a way that the risk is permanently mitigated by appropriate technical and organizational remedies. An appropriate and comprehensible risk assessment methodology is used for the processing of personal data in accordance with the contract, which takes into account the likelihood and severity of the risks to the rights and freedoms of the data subjects affected by the processing.
The following options for proof exist:
The Processor shall, as the occasion arises, but at least annually, conduct a review, assessment and evaluation of the effectiveness of the technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of the processing (§ 32 (1) (d) of the GDPR). Insofar as the measures taken at the Processor do not meet the requirements of the Principal, the Processor shall notify the Principal without undue delay. The measures taken by the Processor may be adapted to technical and organizational developments during the course of the contractual relationship, but may not fall below the agreed standards.
9 Obligations of the Processor after Termination of the Order, § 28 (3) Sentence 2 lit. g DS-GVO
After termination of the contractual services, the Processor shall delete all data and documents that have come into its possession.
