Data Processing Agreement

This version takes effect on 24 October 2026. Until then, the previous version applies.

This Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) is concluded between FUMO – Mateusz Fajst (“Processor” or “Elean”) and the Client (“Data Controller”) upon acceptance of the Elean Terms of Service (“Main Agreement”).

This DPA forms an integral part of the Main Agreement and governs the processing of personal data by Elean on behalf of the Client, in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR.

Subject of the Agreement

1. Pursuant to Article 28 GDPR, the Data Controller entrusts the Processor with the processing of personal data solely for the purpose of and to the extent necessary for the performance of the Main Agreement.

2. The details of the data entrusted for processing — including the nature of processing, types of personal data, and categories of data subjects — are specified in Annex No. 1 to this DPA.

3. The scope of personal data in Annex No. 1 constitutes a maximum list. In practice, the scope transferred by the Controller may be smaller, without prejudice to this DPA.

4. The Processor undertakes to process the entrusted personal data in accordance with this DPA, the GDPR, and applicable national data protection law.

Scope and Purpose of Processing

The Processor is authorized to process personal data on behalf of the Controller solely for the purpose of performing the Main Agreement and within the scope specified in Section 1.

Obligations of the Processor

1. The Processor shall process personal data exclusively on documented instructions from the Controller. Instructions shall be issued by utilizing the Service’s functionalities (UI/API) and — for other dispositions — through the indicated communication channels (ticket/e-mail). Should an instruction infringe upon the law or the agreement, the Processor shall promptly notify the Controller and withhold its execution until the matter is clarified. Where the Processor provides services under the Main Agreement, processing is deemed to be carried out on the Controller’s documented instructions.

2. The Processor shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, in accordance with Article 32 GDPR, including:

   encryption of personal data in transit (TLS/SSL);

   encryption of personal data at rest (AES-256), including databases, files, and backups;

   pseudonymisation of personal data where technically feasible;

   storage of data in the European Union (Cloudflare R2, EU region; UpCloud Ltd, Poland — PL-WAW1 region);

   access controls limiting who can access personal data;

   authentication handled by Stytch, a SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified provider;

   measures ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services, including access controls, audit logging, network security, and infrastructure redundancy;

   the ability to restore the availability of and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident, taking into account defined recovery time and recovery point objectives appropriate to the nature of processing;

   a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures for ensuring the security of processing, including periodic backup restoration tests, security assessments, and continuous monitoring and logging;

   daily backups retained for 7 days. Backups kept for 7 days serve solely for disaster recovery purposes; following any system restoration, the Controller/Processor shall promptly re-execute the deletion instructions; after 7 days, restoring the data is technically impossible.

3. The Processor shall assist the Controller, to the extent possible, in responding to requests from data subjects exercising their rights under Chapter III of the GDPR.

4. The Processor shall assist the Controller in fulfilling its obligations under Articles 32–36 of the GDPR (security, breach notification, DPIA, prior consultation).

5. The Processor shall notify the Controller without undue delay — and in any event within 72 hours — of any personal data breach concerning the entrusted data, by email to the address provided by the Controller in the Main Agreement.

6. The notification referred to in section 5 above shall at least:

   describe the nature of the personal data breach including, where possible, the categories and approximate number of data subjects concerned and the categories and approximate number of personal data records concerned;

   communicate the name and contact details of the data protection officer or other contact point where more information can be obtained;

   describe the likely consequences of the personal data breach;

   describe the measures taken or proposed to be taken by the Processor to address the personal data breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects.

7. Where, and in so far as, it is not possible to provide all the information referred to in section 6 at the same time, the Processor shall provide the information in phases (update the notification) without undue further delay.

8. The Processor shall maintain a record of all categories of processing activities carried out on behalf of the Controller, in accordance with Article 30(2) GDPR.

9. The Processor shall ensure that persons authorized to process personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations.

10. Following termination of the Main Agreement, the Processor shall permanently anonymize all personal data immediately upon account deletion by the Controller. The anonymized record, containing no personal data, may be retained for technical integrity purposes.

11. If the account has not been deleted by the Controller following termination of the Main Agreement, the account shall be treated as inactive. Inactivity is assessed at the Workspace level: an account (Workspace) is inactive only where no user belonging to it has logged in within the relevant period. The Processor shall send a written notice to the Controller’s registered e-mail address after 180 days of such inactivity, informing of the upcoming deletion. If no login by any user of the Workspace is recorded within 30 days of such notice, the Processor shall permanently delete the account and all associated personal data. The total period does not exceed 210 days from the last recorded login by any user of the Workspace. This provision shall not apply for as long as the Controller maintains an active paid Subscription, irrespective of individual user login activity. Where an account (Workspace) is deleted, under this provision or by the Controller, its individual users who, following such deletion, are not affiliated with any other Workspace shall be notified by e-mail, and their personal data shall be anonymized in accordance with Section 3.10 no earlier than 24 hours after such notice, unless in the meantime they have joined, created or been invited to another Workspace. The same applies where the Controller removes a user from its Workspace and that user is not affiliated with any other Workspace. The Processor shall not be liable for any loss of data resulting from deletion carried out in accordance with this provision.

12. Notwithstanding the above, the Processor may retain personal data to the extent strictly necessary for compliance with legal obligations, including statutory accounting and tax retention requirements, for a period of 5 years starting from the end of the calendar year in which the tax payment deadline expired. Such retained data shall be limited to information appearing on invoices and billing records. Furthermore, other personal data which may be relevant for the purpose of potential legal claims shall be retained for the duration of the statute of limitations, not exceeding 3 years from the termination of the Main Agreement.

13. Where an account (Workspace) has remained inactive, within the meaning of Section 3.11, for a continuous period of 180 days, the Processor shall send a written notice to the Controller’s registered e-mail address informing of the upcoming deletion. If no login by any user of the Workspace is recorded within 30 days of such notice, the Processor shall permanently delete the account and all associated personal data, subject to the same exceptions and consequences set out in Section 3.11. The Processor shall not be liable for any loss of data resulting from deletion carried out in accordance with this provision.

14. The Processor may disclose personal data to its employees or collaborators only to the extent necessary for the performance of this DPA and the Main Agreement.

Obligations of the Data Controller

1. The Controller shall cooperate with the Processor and provide all information necessary for the performance of this DPA.

2. The Controller shall document all instructions to the Processor regarding personal data processing.

Audits may be conducted a maximum of once per calendar year and are performed at the sole expense of the Controller, unless the audit reveals a material breach of this DPA by the Processor.

2. The Processor shall implement any corrective measures recommended by the Controller following an audit, provided they are consistent with this DPA and applicable law.

3. If an audit reveals a breach of this DPA or data protection law, the Processor shall remedy such breach within the timeframe specified by the Controller in a written notice.

Sub-processors

1. The Processor may engage sub-processors only to the extent necessary for the performance of the Main Agreement. The Processor shall select sub-processors that provide sufficient guarantees of GDPR compliance.

2. Any sub-processing requires a written agreement imposing the same data protection obligations as those set out in this DPA and Article 28 GDPR.

3. The Controller grants general authorization for the Processor to engage the sub-processors listed below. The Processor shall notify the Controller of any intended changes (addition or replacement of sub-processors) via https://elean.app/legal/privacy-policy at least 14 days in advance, allowing the Controller to object.

4. The Processor shall remain fully liable to the Controller for the performance of data protection obligations by any sub-processor it engages.

5. If the processing requires the transfer of personal data outside the EEA, the Processor shall ensure a valid legal basis for the transfer in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR, in particular: (i) an adequacy decision (e.g., the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework), where applicable; (ii) Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs 2021/914), along with conducting a Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) and implementing appropriate supplementary measures (including strong encryption in transit and at rest, with encryption keys controlled by the data exporter, access restrictions, logging, and audits). In the event of the invalidation of the adequacy decision or the loss of the recipient’s certification status, the Parties shall immediately transition to the SCCs, perform a TIA, and implement supplementary measures. Derogations under Article 49 of the GDPR may be applied solely on an occasional and exceptional basis.

6. Third-party services that the Controller connects to its Workspace (e.g. GitHub, Discord, or the Controller’s own webhook endpoints) are engaged by the Controller and are not sub-processors of the Processor. The Processor exchanges data with them only to the extent configured by the Controller, and the Controller may disconnect them at any time.

Authorized sub-processors

Confidentiality
