Data Processing Agreement

This standard DPA supplements the PrivacyScan Terms of Service. It describes how PrivacyScan (the “Processor”) processes personal data on behalf of the customer (the “Controller”) under the NDPA 2023, GDPR, UK-GDPR, and equivalent regimes.

1. Subject-matter & duration

Processing occurs for the duration of the customer’s subscription and any post-termination grace period specified in the Terms.

2. Nature & purpose

PrivacyScan processes personal data solely to provide the scanning, reporting, and collaboration features requested by the Controller, and to secure and maintain the service.

3. Categories of data subjects & data

Data subjects: the Controller’s account users and workspace members. Personal data: name, email, authentication data, workspace activity, and any personal data incidentally contained in scan targets that the Controller submits.

4. Controller obligations

The Controller warrants that it has a lawful basis for submitting scan targets and for inviting members, and that it has issued required notices to data subjects.

5. Processor obligations

  • Process personal data only on documented instructions from the Controller.
  • Ensure personnel with access are bound by confidentiality.
  • Implement appropriate technical and organizational measures (see the Trust Center).
  • Assist the Controller with data-subject requests, DPIAs, and breach notifications.
  • On termination, delete or return personal data as instructed, subject to legal retention.

6. Sub-processors

PrivacyScan engages the sub-processors listed at /legal/subprocessors and imposes equivalent obligations on each.

7. International transfers

Where transfers occur outside the EEA/UK/Nigeria, PrivacyScan relies on Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent transfer mechanism.
