4. RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS AND THE PARTIES’ COOPERATION OBLIGATIONS

4.1.   It is agreed that where Walnut receives a request from a Data Subject or an applicable authority in respect of Customer Data Processed by Walnut, where relevant, it will notify the Customer of such request and direct the Data Subject or the applicable authority to the Customer in order to allow the Customer to respond directly to the Data Subject’s or the applicable authority’s request, unless otherwise required under applicable laws.
