Data Processing Addendum

This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) forms part of the DeData Terms of Service between DeData, Inc. (“Processor”) and the customer organization (“Controller”) on a Teams plan. It governs processing of Personal Data on behalf of the Controller and incorporates the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs, Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914, Module 2: Controller to Processor) and the obligations required by GDPR Article 28.

1. Subject Matter & Duration

Processor will Process Personal Data only to provide the DeData Services for the duration of the underlying agreement plus any statutory retention window described in our Privacy Policy.

2. Nature & Purpose of Processing

Processing is limited to: data-broker removal submissions, evidence storage, audit logging, and Controller-initiated data subject rights requests. No secondary use, no sale, no advertising.

3. Categories of Data & Data Subjects

Identification data (name, alias), contact data (email, postal address, phone), demographic data (DOB, prior addresses), account credentials, and evidence artifacts. Data subjects are the Controller's end users and any individuals whose removal the Controller submits.

4. Sub-processors

The current list of authorized sub-processors is published at /legal/subprocessors. Processor will give at least 14 days notice before adding or replacing a sub-processor.

5. International Transfers

Where Personal Data is transferred from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to a third country without an adequacy decision, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 2: Controller to Processor, 2021/914) are incorporated by reference and form part of this DPA.

6. Security

Processor implements the technical and organizational measures described in our Trust Center: AES-256-GCM PII vault, isolated key management, append-only audit logs, least-privilege access, MFA on all administrative accounts, and incident response.

7. Data Subject Requests & Breach Notification

Processor will assist Controller in responding to data subject requests and will notify Controller of any Personal Data Breach without undue delay (target: 72 hours of confirmed incident).

8. Deletion & Return

On termination, Processor will delete or return all Personal Data within 30 days, except where retention is required by applicable law.

9. Controller & Processor Obligations

Controller is responsible for the lawfulness of Personal Data it submits, for obtaining required consents, and for issuing documented instructions to Processor. Processor will: (a) process Personal Data only on Controller's documented instructions; (b) ensure persons authorized to process Personal Data are bound by confidentiality; (c) implement the security measures in Section 6; (d) assist Controller with Articles 32–36 GDPR obligations; and (e) make available all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with Article 28 GDPR.

10. Audit Rights

Once per twelve-month period, Controller (or a mutually agreed independent auditor bound by confidentiality) may audit Processor's compliance with this DPA on at least 30 days written notice, during business hours, without disrupting Processor's operations. Processor may satisfy audit obligations by providing then-current SOC 2 Type II reports or equivalent third-party attestations once available.

11. Governing Law & Order Of Precedence

This DPA is governed by the law specified in the underlying DeData Terms of Service. In the event of conflict between this DPA and the Terms of Service, this DPA controls with respect to processing of Personal Data. In the event of conflict between this DPA and the SCCs incorporated under Section 5, the SCCs control.
