The duration follows the underlying service agreement.

Data subjects may include users of the customer, employees, customers, suppliers, contractual partners, authority contacts, applicants, family members, insured persons, patients and other persons whose data is contained in the customer's documents or emails.
5. Customer instructions
The processor processes personal data only on documented instructions of the customer unless a legal obligation requires otherwise. Instructions initially arise from the service agreement, settings in clutr and this agreement. Individual instructions may be issued in text form.
6. Processor obligations
The processor undertakes to treat personal data confidentially, grant access only to authorized persons, implement suitable technical and organizational measures, use subprocessors only in accordance with this agreement and reasonably support the customer with data subject rights, deletion, data portability, data protection impact assessments and notifications of personal data breaches.
7. Confidentiality
Persons with access to personal data at the processor are bound to confidentiality or are subject to an appropriate statutory duty of confidentiality.
8. Technical and organizational measures
The technical and organizational measures are described in the separate TOM documentation. The processor may further develop measures provided that the level of protection is not materially reduced.
9. Subprocessors
The customer grants general authorization to use the subprocessors listed in the subprocessor list. Changes are communicated appropriately. The customer may object for important data protection reasons.
10. Third-country transfers
Where subprocessors process data outside the EU or EEA, the processor ensures appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses or supplementary protective measures.
11. Support obligations
The processor supports the customer to a reasonable extent with access, rectification, deletion, restriction, data portability, objection, data protection impact assessments and consultation of supervisory authorities.
12. Personal data breach notification
The processor informs the customer without undue delay if it becomes aware of a personal data breach. The information includes, where available, nature of the incident, affected data, affected systems, likely consequences and measures taken or proposed.
13. Evidence and audits
The processor provides the customer with suitable information to demonstrate compliance with this agreement. Audits take place after reasonable prior notice, during usual business hours and while preserving security and confidentiality interests of other customers.
14. Deletion and return
After the end of service provision, the processor deletes or returns personal data at the customer's choice unless statutory retention obligations or legitimate evidence obligations prevent this. Details follow from the deletion concept.
15. Order of precedence
In case of contradictions, this agreement and its annexes take precedence over the general terms to the extent processing of personal data on behalf of the customer is concerned.
