In the event that any country previously recognised by the European Union or the UK as ensuring an adequate level of data protection is no longer recognised as such by the European Union or the UK, where Customer is located in such country Customer shall be obliged to stop processing Traackr Influencer Data in such country until Traackr and Customer have agreed to sufficient measures to ensure an appropriate level of data protection according to Article 44 et seq. of the European Data Protection Laws.
