For sub-processors located outside the EEA, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission have been agreed.
The processor may engage additional sub-processors or replace existing ones. It announces this in text form at least four weeks in advance. Within that period the controller may object to a new sub-processor on important data protection grounds; if the affected function then cannot be provided, the controller may terminate the corresponding part of the service. The current version of this table is authoritative.
To handle support requests and remedy malfunctions, the processor's staff may access the controller's account. Such access only takes place for a specific occasion. Screen and audio recordings are only created at the controller's instigation or with their participation.
§5 Technical and Organizational Measures
The Processor has implemented the following measures:
- Encryption of all data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256)
- Row-Level Security (RLS) — each user can only see their own data
- Removal or pseudonymisation of personal details before transmission to AI services, where the feature allows it; for translations, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, links and known names are replaced by placeholders
- Audit logging of all AI processing operations (without PII in logs)
- Multi-factor authentication for administrative access
- Regular security reviews and updates
- API key encryption with pgcrypto for all external integrations
§6 Deletion and Return
After the contractual relationship ends, the processor deletes the controller's personal data unless a statutory retention obligation applies. Certain data sets are subject to their own periods already during the term: support recordings are deleted after 30 days, and technical access and interface logs after 7 to 30 days.
The Controller may request the export of their data in machine-readable format at any time.
§7 Audit Rights
The Controller has the right to verify compliance with this DPA through appropriate measures, including inspections.
The Processor shall provide the Controller with all necessary information to demonstrate compliance upon request.
