    3. The parties agree that in respect of any personal data processed in connection with this Agreement that CSM shall be the “data controller” and Supplier or Sub processor shall be the “data processor”.

      1. process the data only to the extent, and in such a manner, as is necessary for the purposes of this Agreement and in accordance with CSM’s written instructions from time to time and Supplier shall not process or permit the processing of the data for any other purpose. If Supplier is ever unsure as to the parameters of the instructions issued by CSM and/or believes that CSM’s instructions may conflict with the requirements of Data Protection Legislation or other applicable laws, Supplier shall immediately notify CSM for clarification and where requested provide reasonable details in support of any assertion that CSM’s instructions may be unlawful;
      2. only make copies of the data to the extent reasonably necessary (which may include back-up, mirroring (and similar availability enhancement techniques), security, disaster recovery and/or testing of the data);
      3. not extract, re-utilise, use, exploit, redistribute, re-disseminate, copy or store the Data other than as permitted under the terms of this Agreement;
      4. comply with its obligations under Data Protection Legislation, and the provisions of CSM’s IT and data security policies as notified to Supplier from time to time;
      5. only permit access to data to those Supplier personnel who require such access in order to carry out their roles in the performance of Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement and ensure the reliability of all personnel and Sub processors (as defined below) who have access to the data and shall in particular ensure that any person authorised to process data in connection with this Agreement is subject to a duty of confidentiality that at a minimum is equal to the duty of confidentiality imposed on Supplier under this Agreement;
