2. Roles of the Parties

- Company as Controller. Company acts as an independent controller for:
- Customer Account Data,
- billing, compliance, security/fraud prevention, service analytics, and
- other processing required by law.
This controller processing is governed by Company's Privacy Policyand is not "on behalf of Customer".
3. Processor Obligations
Company shall:
- Process on documented instructions. Process Personal Data only on Customer's documented instructions, as set out in the Agreement and this DPA (including Annex I), unless required by applicable law (in which case Company will inform Customer unless prohibited).
- Confidentiality. Ensure persons authorized to process Personal Data are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
- Security. Implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures ("TOMs") to protect Personal Data as described in Annex II.
- Subprocessors. Only engage Subprocessors pursuant to Section 6, and impose data protection obligations no less protective than those in this DPA.
- Assistance. Taking into account the nature of processing and information available, assist Customer with:
- data subject requests (Section 7),
- security and breach notifications (Section 8),
- data protection impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities,
- and compliance with Articles 32-36 EU/UK GDPR.
- Deletion/Return. At Customer's choice, return or delete Personal Data upon termination or expiry of the Services and delete existing copies, unless storage is required by law. Company will certify deletion upon Customer request. Operationally, where Customer deletes its account via the product flow, permanent deletion will occur within 14 days of a verified deletion request; backups are overwritten on normal retention cycles.
- Records. Maintain records of processing as required by Data Protection Laws and make them available to a competent supervisory authority upon request.
4. Customer Responsibilities
Customer shall:
- Ensure it has a lawful basis and provides required notices for the processing of Personal Data in/through the Services;
- Provide documented instructions that comply with Data Protection Laws and do not cause Company to violate those laws;
- Be responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of Personal Data and the means by which it was acquired; and
- Use available product features (e.g., deletions, opt-outs/blacklists) to support compliance.
5. Details of Processing
The subject matter, duration, nature and purpose, types of Personal Data, and categories of data subjects are set out in Annex I.
6. Subprocessors
- Authorization. Customer provides general written authorization for Company to engage Subprocessors to support the delivery of the Services.
- List & changes. Company's current Subprocessors are listed in Annex III (and may also be reflected on Company's website). Company will notify Customer of any intended changes to Subprocessors and provide an opportunity to object on reasonable data protection grounds within 30 days of notice.
- Objections. If Customer reasonably objects and Company cannot provide a commercially reasonable alternative, Customer may suspend the affected processing or terminate the affected Services (without penalty for the terminated portion), and receive a pro-rata refund of pre-paid fees for the terminated portion.
- Flow-down. Company will enter written agreements with Subprocessors imposing obligations no less protective than those set out in this DPA. Company remains liable for each Subprocessor's performance.
7. Data Subject Requests
If Company receives a request from a data subject relating to Customer's Personal Data, Company will promptly notify Customer (unless prohibited by law) and direct the data subject to contact Customer. Company will assist Customer, taking into account the nature of processing, by appropriate technical and organizational measures, so that Customer can respond to requests to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object, or port Personal Data.
8. Security & Incident Management
- Security. Company will implement and maintain the TOMs described in Annex II.
- Personal Data Breach. Company will notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting Customer's Personal Data and provide information required by Article 33(3) EU/UK GDPR as it becomes available, including: the nature of the breach, categories/approximate numbers of data subjects and records, likely consequences, and measures taken or proposed to address the breach.
- Cooperation. Company will cooperate with Customer and provide reasonable assistance to enable Customer to comply with Articles 33 and 34 (including notifications to supervisory authorities and data subjects, where required).
9. Audits & Information Rights
- Reports. Upon written request, Company will make available summary information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance (e.g., security overviews/TOMs, penetration test summaries, or third-party attestations if available).
- Audits. If such information is insufficient under Data Protection Laws, Customer may conduct (or appoint an independent auditor to conduct) a targeted audit on reasonable prior written notice (at least 30 days), no more than once per 12 months (unless following a material incident), during normal business hours, in a manner that minimizes disruption and respects Company's confidentiality and security policies. Customer bears its own audit costs and reimburses Company for reasonable time/expenses.
10. International Data Transfers
- General. Company may process and transfer Personal Data globally to provide the Services, including hosting on AWS (United States) and Hetzner (Germany).
- EU SCCs. For Ex-EEA Transfers, the EU SCCs (Controller-to-Processor - Module 2) and, where relevant, Processor-to-Processor - Module 3 are incorporated by reference and deemed executed between Customer (as Data Exporter) and Company (as Data Importer), completed as follows:
- Clause 7 (Docking): applies.
- Clause 9 (Subprocessors): Option 2 (general authorization); notice per Section 6.
- Clause 11: optional language does not apply.
- Clause 17: Irish law governs the SCCs.

- Switzerland. For transfers from Switzerland, the EU SCCs apply with the modifications required by the FADP (e.g., FDPIC as competent authority; "Member State" interpreted to include Switzerland).
- Supplementary measures. Company will implement supplementary measures as reasonably necessary to ensure an essentially equivalent level of protection (e.g., encryption in transit/at rest, access controls, need-to-know, challenge/notify where lawful of government access).
11. Return and Deletion
Upon termination or expiry of the Services, Customer may elect to have Company return all Personal Data (in a commonly used machine-readable format) and/or delete it. If no election is made, Company will delete Personal Data within 30 days of termination, subject to legal retention requirements. For Customer-initiated account deletion via the product, permanent deletion occurs within 14 days of a verified deletion request. Backups are overwritten on normal cycles.
12. Government Access Requests
Where legally permitted, Company will notify Customer of any legally binding request for disclosure of Personal Data by a law enforcement authority. Company will challenge unlawful or overbroad requests and will disclose only the minimum required to comply with the request.
13. Liability & Precedence
The parties' liability under this DPA is subject to the limitations/exclusions in the Agreement. If there is a conflict between this DPA and the Agreement, this DPA prevails to the extent of the conflict. If there is a conflict between this DPA and the EU SCCs/UK Addendum, the EU SCCs/UK Addendum prevail.
14. Governing Law
This DPA (excluding the EU SCCs and UK Addendum, which are governed per Section 10) is governed by the law specified in the Agreement. If the Agreement does not specify, this DPA is governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction.
15. Amendments
Company may update this DPA to reflect changes in law or Services by providing at least 30 days' notice. If Customer reasonably objects on data protection grounds and the parties cannot resolve, Customer may terminate the affected Services and receive a pro-rata refund of any pre-paid fees for the terminated portion.
16. Signatures
