Authorisation by User to Appointment by An Post of Sub-Processors

  1. The User hereby authorises An Post to engage RR Donnelley Ireland Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (registration number 321694), as a sub-processor to provide certain services in connection with the Service (the “Permitted Sub-Processor”).

  2. The User also hereby authorises An Post to appoint other third parties to Process User Personal Data (“Additional Permitted Sub-Processors”), provided that An Post shall notify the User in advance of such appointment or change in Additional Permitted Sub-processors. In the event of any such notification by An Post, the User shall inform An Post prior to placing an order for the Services in the event that it (acting reasonably) objects to the appointment or change of Additional Permitted Sub-Processors. Where An Post engages Additional Permitted Sub-Processors to carry out specific Processing activities in connection with the Services, An Post shall impose on any such Additional Permitted Sub-Processor, by way of contract, substantially similar data protection obligations as are imposed on it by this clause 19.
