§ 1 Subject Matter and Duration of the Agreement
- Subject Matter: This agreement governs the data protection rights and obligations of the parties in connection with the processing of personal data by the Processor on behalf of the Controller. The provision of the main service (provision and operation of Managed AI Agents and associated server infrastructure) is governed by the underlying main contract (incl. the Provider’s Terms & Conditions).
- Duration: The term of this agreement is tied to the term of the main contract. It ends automatically upon termination of the main contract, without requiring separate notice of termination. Isolated terminations of this DPA are excluded.
§ 2 Nature and Purpose of Processing, Types of Data, and Data Subjects
- Nature and Purpose of Processing: The Processor provides an isolated server infrastructure (single-tenant) and operates AI software (Large Language Models, RAG systems) on it. Processing includes storing, retrieving, querying, structuring, and deleting data fed into the system by the Controller for the purpose of generating automated AI responses and process automations for the Controller.
- Types of Data: The following data types are processed (selection defined by the Customer in the main contract):
- Communication data (chat histories, emails, communication metadata)
- Content data (PDF documents uploaded by the customer, contracts, internal company knowledge bases)
- Usage data (IP addresses, dashboard login times)
- Master data (names, email addresses of employees/end customers of the Controller)
- Categories of Data Subjects:
- Employees/staff of the Controller
- Customers/clients/prospects of the Controller
- Communication partners of the Controller
§ 3 Authority of the Controller to Issue Instructions
- The Processor processes personal data exclusively upon documented instructions from the Controller, unless required to do so by Union or Member State law. The contractual agreements in the main contract as well as the configurations made by the customer in the dashboard are deemed to be documented initial instructions.
- The Processor shall immediately inform the Controller if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes applicable data protection law. The Processor is entitled to suspend the execution of the relevant instruction until it is confirmed or modified by the Controller.
§ 4 Obligations of the Processor
- Separation Control: The Processor ensures that the Controller’s data is processed strictly logically and physically separated from other customers’ data (single-tenant architecture).
- Zero-Data-Retention for AI Models: The Processor contractually guarantees that transmitted data and prompts from the Controller will not be used to train the base AI models (such as Google Gemini).
- Support Obligations: The Processor assists the Controller, insofar as possible, with appropriate technical and organizational measures to fulfill data subject requests (Chapter III GDPR) and to comply with the obligations specified in Art. 32 to 36 GDPR.
- Breach Notification Duty: The Processor shall notify the Controller without undue delay, but no later than 24 hours after becoming aware of it, of any personal data breach.
§ 5 Strict Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure (NDA)
- Scope of Confidentiality: The Processor undertakes to treat strictly confidential all knowledge acquired in the context of the cooperation regarding business and trade secrets, internal documents, uploaded knowledge bases (RAG data), and client/customer data of the Controller (“Confidential Information”).
- Professional Secrecy Bearers: The Processor is aware that the processed data (especially for tax consultants, lawyers, or in healthcare) may be subject to special professional secrecy (e.g., § 203 of the German Criminal Code). The Processor takes all necessary measures to maintain this confidentiality.
- Employee Commitment (Art. 28 Para. 3 lit. b GDPR): The Processor ensures that persons authorized to process personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
- Duration: This obligation of confidentiality shall survive the termination of the main contract and this Data Processing Agreement indefinitely.
§ 6 Technical and Organizational Measures (TOMs)
- Before commencing processing, the Processor has implemented the security measures set out in the document “Technical and Organizational Measures (TOM) according to Art. 32 EU GDPR” (Annex 1).
- The Processor has the right to adapt the security measures taken over time to technical and organizational developments, provided that the contractually agreed level of protection is not compromised.
§ 7 Subcontracting (Sub-processors)
- The Controller generally consents to the engagement of the following sub-processors by the Processor:
- Hetzner Online GmbH (Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany): Provision of cloud server infrastructure and storage (Location: Germany/EU).
- Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland): Provision of the “Google Gemini API” (Enterprise AI Models).
- The Processor shall inform the Controller in text form of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of other sub-processors with a notice period of four (4) weeks. The Controller may object to the change for an important data protection reason within two (2) weeks. If no objection is made, consent is deemed granted.
- The Processor concludes a contract with each sub-processor imposing on them the same data protection obligations as set out in this agreement.
§ 8 Deletion and Return of Data
- Upon completion of the processing services, the Processor shall, at the choice of the Controller, either delete or return all personal data to the Controller, unless there is a legal obligation to store the personal data.
- Backups (system snapshots) are generally physically overwritten by automated rotation cycles no later than 30 days after contract termination and thus irrevocably deleted.
§ 9 Final Provisions and Jurisdiction
- Should individual provisions of this agreement be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
- In the event of contradictions between this agreement and provisions of other agreements (e.g., main contract/T&Cs) between the parties, the provisions of this agreement shall prevail with regard to data protection.
- The governing law and the exclusive place of jurisdiction shall be at the registered office of the Controller (Customer), as agreed in the main contract (T&Cs).
