7. Confidentiality

Diversified Payday personnel with access to Customer Data are expected to maintain appropriate confidentiality obligations.

Notification timing and content may vary depending upon the nature of the incident and applicable legal requirements.

10. Customer Requests

Customers remain responsible for responding to requests from their employees, contractors, applicants, or other individuals concerning Customer Data unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Diversified Payday may reasonably assist where appropriate.

11. Retention and Deletion

Upon expiration of applicable retention periods or lawful business needs, Diversified Payday may delete Customer Data in accordance with that policy.

12. International Processing
