Security of Data a. Each of the parties shall:
i. ensure as far as reasonably practicable, that Data is properly stored, is not accessible to unauthorised persons, is not altered, lost or destroyed and is capable of being retrieved only by properly authorised persons;
ii. subject to the provisions of Sub-Clause 8.a. ensure that, in addition to any security, proprietary and other information disclosure provision contained in the Contract, Messages and Associated Data are maintained in confidence, are not disclosed or transmitted to any unauthorised person and are not used for any purpose other than that communicated by the sending party or permitted by the Contract; and
iii. protect further transmission to the same degree as the originally transmitted Message and Associated Data when further transmissions of Messages and Associated Data are permitted by the Contract or expressly authorised by the sending party.
b. The sending party shall ensure that Messages are marked in accordance with the requirements of the Contract. If a further transmission is made pursuant to Sub-Clause 3. a. iii. the sender shall ensure that such markings are repeated in the further transmission.
c. The parties may apply special protection to Messages by encryption or by other agreed means, and may apply designations to the Messages for protective Interchange, handling and storage procedures.

d. If either party becomes aware of a security breach or breach of confidence in relation to any Message or in relation to its procedures or systems (including, without limitation, unauthorised access to their systems for generation, authentication, authorisation, processing, transmission, storage, protection and file management of Messages) then it shall immediately inform the other party of such breach. On being informed or becoming aware of a breach the party concerned shall:
i. immediately investigate the cause, effect and extent of such breach;
ii. report the results of the investigation to the other party; and
iii. use all reasonable endeavours to rectify the cause of such breach.
e. Each party shall ensure that the contents of Messages that are sent or received are not inconsistent with the law, the application of which could restrict the content of a Message or limit its use, and shall take all necessary measures to inform without delay the other party if such an inconsistency arises.

Firewall rules and network address translation that isolate database servers from web servers and public networks; Regular review of firewall rules and configurations to assure compliance with authorization and change control procedures; Log management and intrusion detection/prevention systems; A documented and tested incident response plan Any breach of this clause may result in termination of the contract and the demand for return of all personal information.
Security of Access Code You may use one (1) or more access codes with your electronic fund transfers. The access codes issued to you are for your security purposes. Any access codes issued to you are confidential and should not be disclosed to third parties or recorded on or with the card. You are responsible for safekeeping your access codes. You agree not to disclose or otherwise make your access codes available to anyone not authorized to sign on your accounts. If you authorize anyone to use your access codes, that authority shall continue until you specifically revoke such authority by notifying the Credit Union. You understand that any joint owner you authorize to use an access code may withdraw or transfer funds from any of your accounts.

Within such facilities, all printed materials containing Citizens Confidential Information should be kept locked in a secure office, file cabinet, or desk (except when materials are being used).
Security of processing (a) The data importer and, during transmission, also the data exporter shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of the data, including protection against a breach of security leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access to that data (hereinafter ‘personal data breach’). In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Parties shall take due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purpose(s) of processing and the risks involved in the processing for the data subjects. The Parties shall in particular consider having recourse to encryption or pseudonymisation, including during transmission, where the purpose of processing can be fulfilled in that manner. In case of pseudonymisation, the additional information for attributing the personal data to a specific data subject shall, where possible, remain under the exclusive control of the data exporter. In complying with its obligations under this paragraph, the data importer shall at least implement the technical and organisational measures specified in Annex II. The data importer shall carry out regular checks to ensure that these measures continue to provide an appropriate level of security.
(b) The data importer shall grant access to the personal data to members of its personnel only to the extent strictly necessary for the implementation, management and monitoring of the contract. It shall ensure that persons authorised to process the personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
(c) In the event of a personal data breach concerning personal data processed by the data importer under these Clauses, the data importer shall take appropriate measures to address the breach, including measures to mitigate its adverse effects. The data importer shall also notify the data exporter without undue delay after having become aware of the breach. Such notification shall contain the details of a contact point where more information can be obtained, a description of the nature of the breach (including, where possible, categories and approximate number of data subjects and personal data records concerned), its likely consequences and the measures taken or proposed to address the breach including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects. Where, and in so far as, it is not possible to provide all information at the same time, the initial notification shall contain the information then available and further information shall, as it becomes available, subsequently be provided without undue delay.
(d) The data importer shall cooperate with and assist the data exporter to enable the data exporter to comply with its obligations under Regulation (EU) 2016/679, in particular to notify the competent supervisory authority and the affected data subjects, taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to the data importer.
