Common use of Authority Request Clause in Contracts

Authority Request. If Compa becomes aware that any law enforcement, regulatory, judicial or governmental authority (an “Authority”) wishes to obtain access to or a copy of some or all of Customer’s Personal Data, whether on a voluntary or a mandatory basis, then unless legally prohibited as part of a mandatory legal compulsion that requires disclosure of Personal Data to such Authority, Compa shall: (1) promptly, without undue delay, notify Customer of such Authority’s data access request, to the extent legally permissible; (2) inform the Authority that any and all requests or demands for access to Personal Data should be notified to or served upon Customer in writing; and (3) not provide the Authority with access to Personal Data unless and until authorized by Customer. In the event Compa is under a legal prohibition or a mandatory legal compulsion that prevents it from complying with (1)-(3) in full, Compa shall use reasonable and lawful efforts to challenge such prohibition or compulsion (and Customer acknowledges that such challenge may not always be reasonable or possible in light of the nature, scope, context and purposes of the intended Authority access request). If Compa makes a disclosure of Personal Data to an Authority (whether with Customer’s authorization or due to a mandatory legal compulsion) Compa shall use best efforts to only disclose such Personal Data to the extent Compa determines it is legally required to do so and in accordance with applicable lawful process.
