Data Processing Addendum

This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) forms part of the applicable agreement between the customer identified in the relevant order form or written agreement (“Customer”) and the operator of the PayeeProof Service (“PayeeProof”, “Processor”).

1. Roles of the parties

To the extent PayeeProof processes Customer Personal Data on behalf of Customer in connection with the Service, Customer acts as controller or equivalent business entity and PayeeProof acts as processor or service provider.

This DPA does not apply where PayeeProof acts as an independent controller for its own business operations, such as billing, website administration, security logging, fraud prevention, legal compliance, and direct communications.

2. Subject matter and duration

The subject matter of the processing is PayeeProof’s provision of pre-transfer verification, related decision-support outputs, verification records, webhook notifications, and support. Processing continues for the duration of the applicable customer relationship unless earlier terminated.

3. Nature and purpose of processing

PayeeProof may process Customer Personal Data to receive and process verification requests, generate verification records, transmit webhooks and delivery metadata, maintain auditability and service reliability, provide support, and comply with documented customer instructions consistent with the Service.

4. Types of personal data

5. Categories of data subjects

6. Customer instructions

PayeeProof will process Customer Personal Data only on documented instructions from Customer, unless otherwise required by law. The applicable agreement, API usage, configuration choices, and written support requests constitute Customer’s documented instructions.

7. Confidentiality

PayeeProof will ensure that persons authorized to process Customer Personal Data are subject to confidentiality obligations.

8. Security measures

PayeeProof will implement reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk. Depending on the Service setup, these may include access controls, authentication, secrets management, logging and monitoring, abuse protections, rate limiting, environment separation, transport security, backups, and incident-response procedures.

9. Sub-processors

Customer authorizes PayeeProof to use sub-processors for hosting, infrastructure, email delivery, monitoring, analytics, support, logging, and related business operations necessary to provide the Service. PayeeProof will remain responsible for the performance of its sub-processors to the extent required by law.

10. Assistance

Taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to PayeeProof, PayeeProof will provide reasonable assistance with data-subject requests, breach-related obligations, and impact assessments where required, subject to reasonable commercial limits.

11. Personal data breaches

If PayeeProof becomes aware of a confirmed personal data breach affecting Customer Personal Data, PayeeProof will notify Customer without undue delay and provide reasonably available information relevant to the incident.

12. International transfers

Where Customer Personal Data is transferred across borders, the parties will implement appropriate safeguards where required by applicable data protection law.

13. Deletion and return

Upon termination of the applicable services, PayeeProof will delete or return Customer Personal Data as required by the agreement or applicable law, unless retention is required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, backup, or dispute-resolution reasons.

14. Audit information

PayeeProof will make available information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA. If additional audits are requested, the parties will cooperate in good faith to agree on scope, timing, confidentiality, and cost, taking into account security and operational burden.

15. Liability

This DPA is subject to the liability limitations in the main agreement except to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

16. Order of precedence

If there is a conflict between this DPA and the main agreement regarding the processing of Customer Personal Data, this DPA controls to the extent of that conflict.
