9.3 If LGEUS has a good faith belief based on specific facts that Vendor's privacy practices and standards may not be in compliance with its obligations under this Policy, LGEUS will have the right to conduct an audit through its authorized representative regardless of whether LGEUS already conducted an audit during the year.
9.4 In addition to the audit rights set forth in the Agreement, and for purposes of audits performed pursuant to this Policy, Vendor will grant LGEUS representatives all relevant access to Vendor's books (to the extentthe books contain LGE Data), facilities, procedures, and records as they may be reasonably required in order to ascertain facts directly relevant and necessary to verify that Vendor's privacy practices and standards comply with its obligations under this Policy. In no event will this access include Vendor's financial books (such as ledgers, income statements, balance sheets, or cash flow statements), records that show Vendor cost information, return rates, product performance information, product engineering information, or information owned by a third party, unless the documents contain LGE Data. If the documents include LGE Data, information relating to Vendor's cost, profit and loss, or any third-party informationprotected by a nondisclosure agreement with Vendor will be redacted. Unless the privacy audit relates to an issue where LGEUS has a good faith concern or obligation to urgently obtain information regarding Vendor's compliance with its obligations pursuant to this Policy, LGEUS will provide the specific scope of the scheduled audit with a list of specific information, if available, to be reviewed and a good faith summary of the types of information within the scope that may be requested during the course of the audit within ten (10) days of the scheduled audit. Vendor will provide authorized representatives of LGEUS with this information and assistance asreasonably requested to perform the audits.
9.5 If the parties agree that any audit pursuant to this Policy reveals an inadequacy or insufficiency of the Vendor's privacy practice and standards, then Vendor shall promptly develop and provide to LGEUS a corrective action plan that must be reasonably satisfactory to LGEUS and promptly implement the plan at Vendor's sole cost and expense. In this event, LGEUS, through a third-party auditor as provided above, may perform one or more additional follow-up audits to verify performance under the corrective action plan(and to examine any areas potentially affected by the action plan) without regard to the time limitations set forth above.
10.0 Miscellaneous
10.1 Vendor shall flow down (i.e., require such sub-processors and subcontractors) to perform all material obligations, representations, covenants, warranties, and requirements of, or applicable to Vendor as set forth in the Agreement and this Policy. Flow downs will include the requirement that sub-processors and subcontractors secure consent from each Authorized Employee to perform a background check. For the avoidance of doubt, Vendor shall be responsible for the sufficiency of the security, privacy, and confidentiality safeguards of all sub-processor and subcontractor personnel and liable for any failure by such personnel to meet the terms and conditions of this Policy.
10.2 LGEUS may, from time to time, provide Vendor with reasonable written guidelines, rules, and/or procedures for accessing, using, storing, and handling Sensitive Information or LGEUS equipment, systems, or facilities, and updates there to ("Special Privacy and Data Protection Procedures").Vendor shall comply with all applicable Special Privacy and Data Protection Procedures when accessing Sensitive Information, equipment, systems, or facilities. Vendor shall make Special Privacy and Data Protection Procedures available to all relevant Vendor Personnel and shall provide an appropriate level of supervision and training to relevant Vendor Personnel on the procedures required by the Special Privacy and Data Protection Procedures.
