You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

3. Data Access. You may only access the Portability API Content which EU End Users make available to you. You may not access information relating to EU End Users who have not authorised you to access their information, or information which goes beyond the scope of the access or authorisation provided. You are solely responsible for ensuring you are accessing the latest version of the Portability API Content. You are solely responsible for, and bear all risk and liability for, your use and processing of the Portability API Content.
4. Data Security. You will use appropriate technical and organisational security measures, in line with industry best practice and standards where appropriate (for example, ISO 27001), to protect our infrastructure (including the Portability API), EU End Users, and the Portability API Content against any: (a) use or disclosure that goes beyond the authorisation provided by the End User, the requirements of this Schedule, or is otherwise unlawful; and (b) personal data breach, as defined by applicable data protection laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
5. Independent Controller. You agree that Amazon facilitates an EU End User’s request to directly provide you with access to Portability API Content, which may include personal data, via the Portability API and that Amazon does not transfer the EU End User’s personal data to you. Where you process, receive or transfer personal data in a third country (as defined in the GDPR), you agree to comply with the data transfer rules under the applicable data protection laws in relation to any personal data you access via the Portability API. You are an independent data controller under the GDPR in relation to personal data you access via the Portability API. You will comply with applicable data protection laws including the GDPR in relation to your processing of personal data relating to EU End Users. You will delete all Portability API Content you receive via the Portability API concerning an EU End User if that User asks you to do so, and you will provide an easily accessible mechanism for EU End Users to make such requests. Amazon will have no liability in connection with your failure to comply with applicable data protection laws, including any failure to obtain any consent required by applicable law for processing personal data.
6. Notification of Data Breaches. You agree to notify the relevant authority and Amazon immediately and in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach (as defined in the GDPR) in relation to the Portability API Content, and to take all appropriate steps to provide ongoing information and assistance to us regarding the breach. Where any such personal data breach for which you bear responsibility results in any complaints or other proceedings against, or any other harm to, Amazon, you agree to make a public statement acknowledging your responsibility without undue delay. You also agree to indemnify Amazon against any harm to it resulting from such breach.
7. Termination. We may terminate this Schedule, or suspend your access to the Portability API, in the case where: (i) you have committed a material breach of an obligation set out in the Amazon Agreement or this Schedule; (ii) in accessing or using the Portability API or Portability API Content, you have committed a material violation of applicable law, such as data protection laws; or (iii) you suffer a material security incident or personal data breach which may impact the Portability API or Portability API Content. You may not attempt to circumvent any restrictions we place on your access to the Portability API. You will immediately stop accessing Portability API Content in the event that the EU End User to which the Content relates withdraws their authorisation for your access or otherwise requests you to stop accessing their Content. If an EU User requests you to stop accessing their Content, you will also instruct the EU User to update their data portability choices in their Amazon settings. If your access to the Portability API is suspended or you stop using the Portability API in relation to any EU End User, your continued processing of any personal data in the Portability API Content is subject to your compliance with applicable laws, including the GDPR.
8. Support. We will provide you with support for the Portability API both with respect to integrating with the Portability API and to understanding the Portability API Content. Exceeding any quotas or thresholds established in the support documents we provide to you may result in throttling.
9. Updates to You or Your Site. To enable Amazon to ensure that only third parties who have been authorized by the respective End Users are able to access Portability API Content, you will promptly notify us in the event that: (a) the legal entity which has integrated with the Portability API following an identity and security assessment is subject to a change in control, such as a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, a merger with another entity, or a transfer of more than 25% of the entity’s issued shares; (b) the security measures or other information provided to us as part of your registration for the Program or a subsequent audit substantially change; or (c) the purpose of, functionality or content on Your Site substantially changes in a way that could impact the security or integrity of our infrastructure, the Portability API, or Portability API Content. In each case, you will provide us with any additional information we request in order to refresh your registration to access the Portability API.
10. Survival. Sections 1 through 12 of this Schedule will survive any termination of the Login with Amazon Agreement.
