This Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") is incorporated into and forms part of the Pierview Terms of Service between Pierview, Inc. ("Pierview", "Processor") and the customer entity that has agreed to those terms ("Customer", "Controller"). This DPA applies where and to the extent that Pierview processes Personal Data on behalf of Customer in connection with the Pierview platform and services.
The parties acknowledge that Customer is the Controller and Pierview is the Processor with respect to Personal Data processed under the Agreement. Pierview shall process Personal Data only on documented instructions from Customer, including as set forth in this DPA and the Agreement, unless required to do so by applicable law.
If Pierview is required by law to process Personal Data for a purpose other than those set forth in this DPA, Pierview shall inform Customer of that requirement before processing unless prohibited by law.
Pierview is authorized to process Personal Data solely for the following purposes:
Pierview shall ensure that persons authorized to process Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality. Pierview shall ensure that access to Personal Data is limited to those personnel who require access for the purposes set out in this DPA.
Pierview shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures include:
In the event of a Personal Data breach, Pierview shall notify Customer without undue delay and, where feasible, no later than 72 hours after becoming aware of the breach. The notification shall include: (a) the nature of the breach; (b) the categories and approximate number of Data Subjects and records concerned; (c) likely consequences of the breach; and (d) measures taken or proposed to address the breach.
To the extent the CCPA applies, Pierview is a "service provider" as defined by the CCPA. Pierview shall not: (a) sell or share Personal Data; (b) retain, use, or disclose Personal Data for any purpose other than providing the services specified in the Agreement; (c) retain, use, or disclose Personal Data outside of the direct business relationship with Customer; or (d) combine Personal Data received from Customer with Personal Data received from other sources, except as permitted by the CCPA. Pierview certifies that it understands and will comply with these restrictions.
Customer grants Pierview a general written authorization to engage Subprocessors. Pierview shall inform Customer of any intended changes to its list of Subprocessors by providing at least 30 days' prior notice, giving Customer the opportunity to object. Pierview shall impose data protection obligations on each Subprocessor equivalent to those in this DPA.
Current Subprocessors:
| Subprocessor | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Clerk | Authentication and user identity management | United States |
| Stripe | Payment processing | United States |
| Neon | PostgreSQL database hosting | United States |
| Vercel | Application hosting and edge infrastructure | United States |
| OpenAI | AI model provider for visibility analysis | United States |
| Anthropic | AI model provider for visibility analysis | United States |
| AI model provider and Search Console integration | United States | |
| Amazon Web Services | Report generation and file storage | United States |
| PostHog | Product analytics | United States |
| Twilio SendGrid | Transactional and notification email delivery | United States |
Customer acknowledges that Pierview and its Subprocessors process Personal Data in the United States. To the extent Pierview processes Personal Data that is subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the UK GDPR or the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection ("FADP") in a country that has not received an adequacy decision, the parties agree that the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 ("Standard Contractual Clauses") are incorporated into this DPA by reference and apply as follows:
For Personal Data subject to the UK GDPR, the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the UK Information Commissioner ("UK Addendum") applies. Table 1 is completed by the parties' details in the Agreement, and Tables 2 and 3 are completed by Sections 6.1 and 6.4 of this DPA. For Table 4, neither party may terminate the UK Addendum under its Section 19.
For Personal Data subject to the FADP, the Standard Contractual Clauses apply as set out in Section 6.1, with the following changes: references to the GDPR are read as references to the FADP; the competent supervisory authority is the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner; and the term "Member State" is read to include Switzerland, so that data subjects in Switzerland can enforce their rights there.
Pierview will transfer Personal Data to a Subprocessor outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland only where the Subprocessor is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (and its UK Extension and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, where applicable), or where Pierview has entered into Standard Contractual Clauses (Module Three) or another lawful transfer mechanism with that Subprocessor.
Pierview has assessed the laws of the United States as they apply to the Personal Data it processes under this DPA. Pierview will provide reasonable information to Customer, on request, to assist Customer with its own assessment.
In the event of any conflict between this DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses, the Standard Contractual Clauses prevail.
Pierview shall, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify Customer if it receives a request from a Data Subject to exercise any rights under applicable Data Protection Laws. Pierview shall not respond to Data Subject requests directly unless authorized by Customer or required by law. Pierview shall provide Customer with reasonable assistance to fulfill its obligations to respond to Data Subject requests, including requests for access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection.
Taking into account the nature of processing and information available to Pierview, Pierview shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer in ensuring compliance with Customer's obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws, including with respect to:
Upon Customer's reasonable written request, Pierview will permit Customer, at Customer's expense, to audit Pierview's applicable controls and compliance with this DPA (an "Audit"), provided such Audit is: (a) conducted by Customer or a third-party auditor designated by Customer that has executed an appropriate non-disclosure agreement with Pierview; (b) Customer and Pierview mutually agree on reasonable details of the Audit, including the start date, scope and duration of, and security and confidentiality controls applicable to, such Audit; and (c) a similar Audit has not already been conducted less than twelve (12) months prior, unless it is required by a supervisory authority or other regulatory authority responsible for the enforcement of applicable Data Protection Laws. Customer will pay all costs and expenses incurred by Pierview in connection with any such Audit. Customer may use the results of an Audit only for the purposes of meeting Customer's regulatory audit requirements and confirming compliance with the requirements of this DPA.
Upon termination of the Agreement or upon Customer's written request, Pierview shall delete or return all Personal Data processed on Customer's behalf, and delete existing copies, unless applicable law requires storage of the Personal Data. Pierview shall certify in writing to Customer upon request that it has complied with this obligation.
