   1.4. Data Breaches. You will notify Thrive without undue delay via agreed upon channels, whenever You learn that there has been a personal data breach (as defined in the GDPR). Taking into account the nature of Processing and the information available to You, You will assist Thrive at Thrive’s request in complying with Thrive’s notification obligations regarding personal data breaches as required by the GDPR.

   1.5. Cross-Border Transfers. You may not transfer Personal Information to any country that is not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection according to EEA standards or otherwise covered by EU-US or Swiss-US Privacy Shield frameworks.
