Where any of its sub-Processors fails to fulfil its data protection obligations, Raycast will be liable to the Customer for the performance of its sub-Processors’ obligations.
Data Subject Rights
1. Raycast will provide Customer with assistance necessary for the fulfilment of Customer’s obligation to respond to requests for the exercise of Data Subjects’ rights relating to Customer Personal Data.

Personal Data Breaches
1. Raycast will notify Customer as soon as practicable after it becomes aware of any Personal Data Breach affecting any Customer Personal Data. At Customer’s request Raycast will promptly provide Customer with all reasonable assistance necessary to enable Customer to notify relevant security breaches to the competent data protection authorities and/or affected Data Subjects, if Customer is required to do so under Data Protection Legislation. Customer is solely responsible for complying with Personal Data Breach notification requirements applicable to Customer and fulfilling any third-party notification obligations related to any Personal Data Breach.
Data Protection Impact Assessment; Prior Consultation
1. Raycast will provide Customer with reasonable assistance to facilitate conducting data protection impact assessments and consultation with data protection authorities, if Customer is required by Data Protection Legislation to engage in such activities, and solely to the extent that such assistance is necessary and relates to the Processing by Raycast of Customer Personal Data, taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Raycast.
Return or Deletion of Customer Personal Data

Security Measures

All customer data is transferred securely using TLS v1.3 via HTTPS and encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Customer data is stored both locally on encrypted databases on customers' hard drives and on our SOC 2 Type II compliant cloud infrastructure located in the US, which undergoes regular third-party security assessments including penetration testing. Additional security documentation is available through our Trust Center at https://trust.raycast.com. Cloud storage is limited to account data and opt-in features such as Cloud Sync and Teams Plan. We use OAuth for authentication and authorization where possible, and JWT (JSON Web Tokens) with Bearer token authentication for API requests. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is available to enhance account security. Credentials for third-party services are stored securely in users' Keychain. And, all extension data is deleted when users log out.
