This Data Processing Addendum (the "DPA") is part of the applicable agreement between Neventech, S.L. ("Nevent", "we", "us") and the customer contracting or using Nevent's services ("Customer", "you") (the "Agreement").
This DPA applies when Nevent processes Personal Data on behalf of the Customer to provide the Services.
If you do not agree with this DPA, you should not use the Services.
1. Definitions
Unless expressly defined herein, capitalized terms have the meaning set forth in the Agreement or in Data Protection Legislation.
- "Data Protection Legislation": GDPR, applicable Spanish regulations (incl. LOPDGDD) and, where applicable, UK GDPR and Swiss regulations.
- "Personal Data", "Processing", "Controller", "Processor", "Sub-processor", "Security Breach": as defined in GDPR and equivalent applicable regulations.
- "Customer Data": Personal Data processed by Nevent on behalf of the Customer in connection with the Services.
- "Account Data": Personal Data necessary to create/manage the Customer's account (e.g., admin user, credentials, billing/contracting data, support contacts).
- "Aggregated/Anonymized Data": data derived from Customer Data that does not identify any person (either directly or indirectly) and that is used for global analytics/statistics/service improvement.
2. Roles of the Parties and scope
2.1 Nevent as Processor (Customer Data)
With respect to Customer Data, the Customer acts as Controller and Nevent as Processor.
2.2 Nevent as Controller (Account Data)
With respect to Account Data, Nevent may act as Controller (e.g. admin user management, billing, security, fraud prevention). These processing activities are governed by Nevent's Privacy Policy and not by this DPA.
2.3 Customer as Processor
If the Customer acts as Processor for a third party (e.g. a brand), Nevent will act as Sub-processor, and this DPA shall apply accordingly.
2.4 Interaction with the Agreement and affiliated entities
This DPA supplements and, in case of conflict regarding data protection matters, prevails over the Agreement.
The Customer may enter into this DPA on behalf of its affiliated entities that use the Services. In such case:
- The Customer is authorized to act on behalf of such affiliated entities.
- The Customer is designated as the main point of contact for enforcing the terms of this DPA on behalf of all affiliated entities.
- Notifications to the Customer will satisfy notification requirements to affiliated entities.
- Each affiliated entity shall be responsible for its own obligations under this DPA with respect to Customer Data it processes.
3. Subject matter, duration, nature and purposes
3.1 Subject matter
Provision of the Services in accordance with the Agreement.
3.2 Duration
During the term of the Agreement and the retention period described in section 13.
3.3 Nature and purposes
As described in Annex 1 (Processing Details).
4. Customer Instructions
4.1 Nevent will process Customer Data only in accordance with documented Customer instructions, including:
- this DPA,
- the Agreement, and
- normal use of the Service functionalities according to Customer configuration.
4.2 Additional instructions must be reasonable, in writing, and may be subject to costs if they involve substantial work.
4.3 If Nevent believes that an instruction infringes Data Protection Legislation, it will notify the Customer unless legally prohibited.
4.4 Legal obligation: if a law requires Nevent to process Customer Data otherwise, Nevent will inform the Customer where legally possible.
5. Confidentiality and authorized personnel
5.1 Nevent ensures that persons authorized to process Customer Data:
- are subject to confidentiality obligations (contractual or legal), and
- receive reasonable training in security and privacy matters where appropriate.
5.2 Nevent will limit access to Customer Data following the principle of least privilege.
6. Security measures (art. 32 GDPR)
6.1 Nevent implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.
6.2 A summary of these measures is described in Annex 2 (Security Measures).
6.3 Nevent may update security measures while maintaining an equivalent or higher level of protection.
6.4 Upon reasonable request from the Customer, Nevent may provide additional information about security measures, subject to confidentiality.
7. Sub-processors
7.1 What is a Sub-processor
A Sub-processor is an external provider engaged by Nevent that processes Customer Data on behalf of Nevent to provide the Services (for example, cloud infrastructure, analytics, messaging, or AI when the Customer activates that functionality).
Important: Nevent will only consider a provider as "Sub-processor" when it processes Customer Data (personal data processed by Nevent on behalf of the Customer). If a provider only processes Account Data (e.g., billing, admin users), it will be governed by applicable terms/privacy and not necessarily by this DPA.
7.2 General authorization
The Customer grants Nevent general authorization to engage Sub-processors when necessary to provide the Services.
7.3 Sub-processor list
Nevent will maintain an updated list of Sub-processors in Annex 3 of this DPA.
The list will include, at minimum, name, service type, main processing location and, where applicable, safeguards for international transfers.
7.4 Changes to Sub-processors (notification)
Nevent will notify the Customer of additions or replacements of Sub-processors through:
- updating the List, and/or
- reasonable notice by email and/or dashboard notice.
7.5 Customer's right to object
The Customer may object to a new Sub-processor on reasonable grounds related to data protection, notifying in writing within 15 days of notification.
If there is a valid objection:
- Nevent and the Customer will cooperate in good faith to offer a reasonable alternative.
- If not possible without disproportionate impact or without materially degrading the Service, Nevent may:
- suspend or terminate the affected functionality/part of the Service, and/or
- allow the Customer to terminate the affected part according to the Agreement.
7.6 Contractual obligations with Sub-processors ("flow-down")
Nevent will sign with each Sub-processor a written agreement imposing data protection obligations no less protective than those in this DPA, including at minimum:
- processing only under documented instructions,
- personnel confidentiality,
- appropriate technical and organizational measures (art. 32 GDPR),
- assistance with data subject rights and compliance,
- security breach notification,
- data deletion or return upon termination,
- reasonable audit/evidence when appropriate.
7.7 Liability for Sub-processors
Nevent will remain liable to the Customer for its Sub-processors' compliance with obligations to the extent required by Data Protection Legislation.
7.8 "Conditional" Sub-processors (optional functionalities)
Some Sub-processors only apply if the Customer activates or uses specific functionalities (for example, SMS or AI). In those cases, such providers will act as Sub-processors only when they process Customer Data on behalf of Nevent in relation to that functionality.
7.9 Emergency Sub-processors
In exceptional cases (for example, security incidents, service continuity or critical failures), Nevent may temporarily engage an unlisted Sub-processor to restore or maintain the Service, notifying the Customer as soon as reasonably possible and updating the List.
8. Customer Assistance
8.1 Customer's exclusive responsibility and Nevent's assistance
The Customer has exclusive responsibility for responding to data subject rights requests regarding Customer Data, including:
- Right of access
- Right of rectification
- Right of deletion
- Right to object
- Right to restriction of processing
- Right to data portability
- Rights related to automated decisions and profiling (where applicable)
Nevent will reasonably assist the Customer in responding to such requests through:
- Self-service functionalities available in the Service (e.g., data export, deletion).
- Reasonable technical assistance within standard Service support.
Assistance will be provided to the extent applicable to the Services and technically possible. Additional assistance beyond standard support (e.g., complex queries, custom development) may be subject to additional costs, which will be communicated to the Customer with reasonable advance notice.
8.2 Requests received by Nevent
If Nevent receives a request directly from a data subject regarding Customer Data:
- it will redirect it to the Customer without undue delay and without responding on its own, unless legally obliged, and
- will provide reasonable assistance if Customer requests it, in accordance with section 8.1.
8.3 DPIA and prior consultation
Nevent will reasonably provide necessary information to support:
- data protection impact assessments (DPIA), and
- prior consultations with authorities,
to the extent relevant to the Services and under Nevent's control.
9. Cooperation with authorities and requirements
9.1 Nevent will reasonably cooperate with supervisory authorities when necessary for compliance with the DPA and Data Protection Legislation, considering its role as Processor.
9.2 If Nevent receives a binding legal requirement (e.g. court order) regarding Customer Data, it will notify the Customer where legally possible and take reasonable steps to limit disclosure.
10. Security Breaches (Data Breach)
10.1 Nevent will notify the Customer without undue delay upon becoming aware of a Security Breach affecting Customer Data.
10.2 The notification will include, to the extent available:

11.1 Upon reasonable request, Nevent will make available information to demonstrate compliance, such as:
- security documentation,
- responses to reasonable privacy questionnaires,
- third-party reports/certifications if available (without obligation to obtain them).
11.2 Certifications in lieu of audit: If the audit scope is covered by an ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II or other relevant security certification valid within the last 12 months, the Customer will accept such findings in lieu of conducting an on-site audit.
11.3 On-site audits will only be permitted when the above is insufficient and there is a justified need:
- advance notice of at least 2 weeks (14 calendar days),
- the auditor must be independent, qualified and not a competitor of Nevent,
- scope limited to processing of Customer Data,
- during business hours,
- subject to confidentiality and security measures,
- no more than once per year unless serious incident or authority requirement,
- reasonable costs borne by Customer, including reimbursement of Nevent's staff time at reasonable rates.
11.4 Nevent may propose an audit by an independent third party and provide results as an equivalent alternative.
12. International transfers
12.1 Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)
When Customer Data is transferred outside the EEA/UK/Switzerland to a country without an adequacy decision and the Data Privacy Framework is not available, the parties agree that the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission pursuant to Decision (EU) 2021/914 are incorporated by reference into this DPA, as follows:
- Module 2 (Controller-to-Processor): When the Customer acts as Controller and Nevent as Processor.
- Module 3 (Processor-to-Processor): When both parties act as Processors with respect to Customer Data.
In case UK GDPR applies, the UK Addendum to the Standard Contractual Clauses (version B1.0) is also incorporated. For data subjects in Switzerland, the Swiss Addendum described in Annex 5 applies.
12.2 Data Privacy Framework (DPF)
Nevent self-certifies under the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) between the U.S. and the EU/UK/Switzerland, and complies with the applicable DPF Principles for transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland to the United States. To the extent Nevent's DPF certification covers the processing activities under this DPA, it may be used as an alternative safeguard to the SCCs. Further details about Nevent's DPF certification are available at www.dataprivacyframework.gov.
12.3 Supplementary measures and assistance for Data Transfer Impact Assessments
Nevent implements supplementary technical, organizational and contractual measures for international transfers, as described in Annex 4. Upon reasonable request, Nevent will provide relevant information to assist the Customer in conducting Data Transfer Impact Assessments (DTIAs) for transfers to third countries, including information about:
- applicable laws in the countries where data is processed,
- technical and organizational measures to protect data,
- measures against unlawful access by public authorities.
13. Return and deletion upon termination
13.1 Export and copy before termination: If the Customer requests it before the termination of the Agreement, Nevent will provide a copy of all raw Customer Data (original personal data provided to the Service) in a commonly used machine-readable format (such as CSV or JSON) within 30 days of the request. The Customer may also export raw Customer Data using the Service's self-service functionalities during the notice period and for 30 days after termination (recovery period). Enriched data (scores, predictions, automated segmentations, aggregations) generated by Nevent's models are not exportable pursuant to section 14.3 and will cease to be available upon termination of the Agreement.
13.2 Legal retention: Nevent may retain Customer Data beyond the deletion deadline to the extent required by applicable law (for example, fiscal, accounting, or litigation hold obligations). Such data will remain subject to the confidentiality and security obligations of this DPA and will be deleted once the legal retention period expires.
13.3 Complete deletion: Within 90 days following the termination of the Agreement, Nevent will completely delete or anonymize all Customer Data from its production systems and backups, except as permitted under Section 13.2. Upon reasonable request, Nevent will provide written certification of such deletion.

Customer may view and use such enriched data exclusively through the Service interface for its internal business purposes, but may not export, extract, copy or transfer them outside the Service.
(c) Product improvement through aggregated learning: Nevent may use aggregated patterns, statistics and non-identifiable learnings derived from the use of the Service by multiple customers to:
- Improve the accuracy and performance of its models and algorithms.
- Develop new features and analytical capabilities.
- Provide aggregated industry benchmarks and statistics (without identifying any specific Customer).
(d) Restrictions:
- Customer may not reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract Nevent's underlying models, algorithms or technology.
- Nevent will not sell, license or disclose individual enriched data from one Customer to third parties, unless fully anonymized or as required to provide the Service.
(e) Export and termination: Customer may export raw Customer Data (original personal data provided to the Service, such as names, emails, interaction events, purchases and other information directly provided by Customer) pursuant to section 13. Enriched data (scores, predictions, automated segmentations, aggregations) are not exportable and will cease to be available upon termination of the Agreement. Nevent will retain its intellectual property and may continue using aggregated learnings obtained.
15. Customer Obligations

Annex 5 — UK and Swiss Addendums
Section 1: UK Addendum
If UK GDPR applies, the UK Addendum (International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, version B.1.0, UK Information Commissioner, February 2, 2022) is automatically incorporated as a supplement to the SCCs for transfers from the United Kingdom.
The UK Addendum modifies the SCCs pursuant to the Mandatory Requirements (Section 18). The Parties are as specified in Annex 1 of this DPA. The Modules and Clauses are as described in section 12.1 of the DPA with the modifications of the UK Addendum.
In case of conflict between the SCCs and the UK Addendum, the UK Addendum prevails for transfers from the United Kingdom.
Section 2: Swiss Addendum
If Swiss data protection legislation applies (Federal Data Protection Act of 1992 and its implementing Ordinance of 1993, or their revised versions), the SCCs will be interpreted with the following adaptations:
- References to "GDPR" or "EU regulation" are replaced by "Swiss data protection legislation".
- The competent supervisory authority is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) of Switzerland.
- The competent courts are the Swiss courts.
- Until the revision of Swiss law enters into force: legal entities receive the same protection as natural persons.
When both GDPR and Swiss legislation apply: this DPA will apply in its entirety, and then the Swiss modifications will apply without changing Clause 17 of the SCCs (governing law).
In case of conflict, the safeguard providing greater protection to data subjects shall prevail.
