DATA PROCESSING ADDENDUM

For teams
with compliance work.

Our standard DPA covers GDPR, UK GDPR, and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Available on every paid plan — request a counter-signed copy by email.

LAST UPDATED · MAY 2026 · v1.0

/01 · WHEN YOU NEED A DPA

Processing personal data of EU/UK people?

If yes, you need a DPA with every processor — that's us.

If your team uploads research material that includes personal data of EU, UK, or EEA individuals, GDPR requires a written Data Processing Addendum (DPA) between you (the controller) and us (the processor). We make ours easy to get and easy to read.

/02 · WHAT IT COVERS

Standard processor obligations

No surprises, no creative drafting.

  • We act as a processor for your Content; you remain the controller.
  • We process Content only on your documented instructions (i.e. to provide the Service).
  • We maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures — see our Security page.
  • We engage subprocessors (listed below) under written contracts that impose equivalent obligations.
  • We assist with data-subject requests, breach notifications, and DPIA support as required by Art. 28 GDPR.
  • We use the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 2) and UK Addendum for transfers outside the EU/UK.
  • We delete or return your Content on termination, subject to legal retention requirements.
/03 · SUBPROCESSORS

The short list

Every third party that may process your Content on our behalf.

We maintain a current list of subprocessors. The major ones today:

  • Amazon Web Services (EU, US) — application hosting and storage
  • OpenAI / Anthropic (US) — LLM inference, with zero-retention API agreements in place
  • Lemon Squeezy (US) — Merchant of Record, billing and payment processing
  • Vercel (US) — marketing site and analytics

A complete, versioned subprocessor list is included with the DPA. We notify customers by email at least 30 days before adding a new subprocessor, giving you a chance to object.

/04 · HOW TO GET IT
