AST Fund Solutions agrees to take commercially reasonable steps to comply with the requirements of all applicable state and federal laws and regulations regarding the security, protection and confidentiality of personal information, as amended from time to time. AST Fund Solutions further agrees to comply with Massachusetts General Law, c. 93H and implementing regulations thereunder, including 201 CMR 17.00 et. seq. (together with the laws and regulations referenced in the first sentence, collectively, the “Privacy Laws”). AST Fund Solutions agrees to notify the Client promptly of any failure to comply with the Privacy Laws.

To the extent that the Client or Client affiliates (collectively, the “Client Affiliates”) provide AST Fund Solutions with or AST Fund Solutions has access to (either orally, in hard copy, electronic format or otherwise) any personal information (as defined in the Privacy Laws) (“PI”), AST Fund Solutions agrees not to disclose or use any such PI for any purpose except to the extent necessary to carry out the purposes for which Client Affiliates disclosed the PI or as permitted by law in the ordinary course of business to carry out those purposes. Unless pre-approved in writing by the Client, AST Fund Solutions further agrees not to disclose PI to any third parties provided, however, that AST Fund Solutions may disclose PI on a “need to know” basis to auditors and attorneys retained by AST Fund Solutions (the “Representatives”) that have agreed in writing to keep such

Subject to any federal, state or regulatory requirements concerning records retention or as otherwise directed by the Client, AST Fund Solutions shall either return or destroy all PI (except for one copy as required by law, regulation or professional standards) once AST Fund Solutions no longer requires the PI to provide the products and/or services hereunder and AST Fund Solutions shall promptly retrieve, deliver, and destroy all data and copies thereof in its possession upon the earliest of the requirements of this Agreement, the Client’s request, or the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, AST Fund Solutions shall not possess or assert any lien against or to the Client data.

c. Establishment of a Comprehensive Written Information Security Program

AST Fund Solutions agrees that it has established and will maintain and comply with written policies and procedures which are reasonably designed to comply with Privacy Laws concerning the protection and safeguarding of PI. Without limiting any requirements under Privacy Laws, such policies and procedures shall address: (i) administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for the protection of the Client records and data that contain PI; (ii) detection of any unauthorized access to or use of PI for unauthorized purposes; and (iii) the proper destruction of such materials so that the information contained therein cannot be practicably read or reconstructed.

d. Notification of any Security Incident

AST Fund Solutions shall reasonably cooperate with the Client’s investigation and response to each actual threat to the security, confidentiality or integrity of PI or Confidential Information.    

e. Restriction on Transferability of Data Furnished by the Client to AST Fund Solutions
