    2. Processor will not collect, use, retain, share, disclose, or otherwise make Personal Data available for Processor’s own commercial purposes or in any way that does not comply with the CCPA. This includes combining the Personal Data that Processor receives from Scout with Personal Data Processor receives from or on behalf of another person or persons or that Processor collects from its own interaction with any third parties.

    5. Scout shall have the right to take reasonable and appropriate steps to help ensure that Processor uses the Personal Data transferred in a manner consistent with Scout’s obligations under Privacy and Data Protection Laws. Processor additionally grants Scout the right, upon reasonable notice, to take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate any unauthorized use of Personal Data by Processor.

    1. Processor certifies to Controller that it understands this DPA's and the CCPA's restrictions and prohibitions on selling or sharing Personal Data and retaining, using, or disclosing Personal Data outside of the Parties' direct business relationship, and it will comply with them.

    2. Processor represents and warrants to Controller that it has no reason to believe any CCPA requirements or restrictions prevent it from providing any of the Contracted Business Purposes or otherwise performing under this DPA or the Parties’ Agreement. Processor must promptly notify Scout of any changes to the CCPA’s requirements that may adversely affect its performance under this DPA or the Parties’ Agreement.

    3. Processor represents and warrants to Controller that it is receiving Personal Data only because it is necessary for the Processor to perform the Contracted Business Purposes.
