Moana will provide thirty (30) days' advance written notice before engaging new sub-processors that will process Personal Data.

VII.

DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

Moana will provide the Client with timely and reasonable technical and operational assistance to enable the Client to fulfil its obligations to respond to Data Subject rights requests, including requests for:

Moana will provide assistance within timeframes that enable the Client to respond within applicable legal deadlines (30 days under GDPR; 45 days under CPRA; 30 days under the Privacy Act).

 

VIII.

PERSONAL DATA BREACH NOTIFICATION

8.1 Notification to Client

Upon becoming aware of a confirmed or suspected Personal Data Breach, Moana will notify the Client without undue delay and within seventy-two (72) hours. Notification will include, to the extent then available: (a) nature and scope of the breach; (b) categories and approximate number of Data Subjects and records affected; (c) likely consequences; (d) measures taken or proposed; and (e) Moana's dedicated data breach contact details.

 

8.2 NDB Scheme Compliance

Where a Personal Data Breach may constitute an "eligible data breach" under Part IIIC of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the NDB Scheme), Moana will: (a) cooperate with the Client in assessing whether the breach is notifiable; (b) provide all information required by the Client to prepare notifications to the OAIC and affected individuals; and (c) implement containment and remediation measures as directed by the Client.

 

8.3 Pacific Jurisdiction Breach Notification

For deployments in Pacific Island nations where specific breach notification laws apply (including Fiji's Electronic Transactions Act and any applicable health data security regulations), Moana will provide equivalent cooperation in preparing regulatory notifications. Where no specific notification framework exists in a jurisdiction, Moana will apply the standards of the Australian NDB scheme as a minimum.

 

8.4 Client Notification Responsibility

The Client is solely responsible for determining whether and when to notify Data Subjects and regulatory authorities. Moana's notification to the Client does not constitute a determination that notification is required.

 

IX.

CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFERS

9.1 Transfer Safeguards

Where Personal Data is transferred to a jurisdiction that does not provide equivalent data protection, Moana will ensure transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards including:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission (Decision 2021/914/EU) — for transfers from EU/EEA jurisdictions

• UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) — for transfers from the United Kingdom

• Data Transfer Agreement consistent with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) — for transfers from Australia

• Equivalent mechanisms under applicable Pacific Island or other national laws

 

9.2 Data Localisation

Where an Order Form specifies a particular data residency requirement (e.g., all data to remain within a named country), Moana will use commercially reasonable efforts to implement that requirement. Data localisation commitments must be expressly agreed in writing in the applicable Order Form, as they may affect Platform availability, performance, and pricing.

 

9.3 Government Access

Moana will not disclose Personal Data to any government authority or law enforcement agency except as required by a binding legal obligation. Where legally permissible, Moana will promptly notify the Client of any such request prior to disclosure.

11.2 Post-Termination

Following termination: (a) Client Data will be available for export for thirty (30) days; (b) after that period or upon the Client's earlier written instruction, Moana will securely delete all Client Data using industry-standard data destruction methods (NIST SP 800-88 or equivalent); and (c) Moana will provide written certification of deletion within thirty (30) days of completion.

 

11.3 Health Records Retention

The Client is responsible for ensuring that its retention instructions comply with all applicable health records legislation. Moana's deletion obligations are subject to any lawful retention instruction from the Client.

 

11.4 Legal Hold

Notwithstanding the above, either Party may issue a legal hold instruction requiring preservation of specific data in connection with actual or reasonably anticipated litigation or regulatory investigation. Moana will comply with any such instruction from the Client and will notify the Client of any legal hold obligation imposed on Moana by law.
