Haulia Processes Personal Data solely to provide and support the Service, as described in the Agreement and in Annex 1 below, and in accordance with Customer's documented instructions.

Haulia will give Customer at least 30 days' prior notice of new or replacement sub-processors. If Customer objects on reasonable grounds related to data protection, the parties will work in good faith to resolve the objection; if they cannot, Customer may terminate the affected portion of the Service without penalty.
