Data Processing Agreement

PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENT Introduction This Personal Data Processing agreement (” Agreement ”) shall be applied to all products and services...

DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENT (DPA)

Effective Date: This Agreement is effective as of the date Customer accepts these terms or begins using Lead Extract services.

This Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") forms part of the Terms of Service between Lead Extract Ltd ("Lead Extract", "we", "us") and the entity agreeing to these terms ("Customer", "you") and governs the processing of personal data in connection with our services.

1. DEFINITIONS

"Controller" means the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data. For Customer Data, Customer is the Controller. For Enrichment Data, Lead Extract is the Controller or has obtained such data from third-party controllers.

"Processor" means the entity that processes Personal Data on behalf of a Controller.

"Customer Data" means Personal Data that Customer uploads, provides, or makes available to Lead Extract through the Services, including website visitor IP addresses and behavioral data collected via the tracking pixel.

"Enrichment Data" means Personal Data that Lead Extract provides to Customer, including company information, contact details, and person-level identification data sourced from Lead Extract' databases and third-party partners.

"Personal Data", "Processing", "Data Subject", "Personal Data Breach", and "Supervisory Authority" have the meanings given in the GDPR (EU Regulation 2016/679).

2. SCOPE AND ROLES

2.1 Customer Data (Lead Extract as Processor)

With respect to Customer Data, Customer is the Controller and Lead Extract acts as a Processor. Lead Extract will process Customer Data only in accordance with Customer's documented instructions and this DPA.

2.2 Enrichment Data (Lead Extract as Controller/Data Provider)

With respect to Enrichment Data, Lead Extract acts as an independent Controller or as a provider of data obtained from third-party sources. This data is licensed to Customer under the Terms of Service. Customer becomes a Controller of such data upon receipt and is solely responsible for its lawful use.

2.3 Regional Processing Differences

IMPORTANT: Our identification capabilities differ by region:

  • European Economic Area (EEA), UK, and GDPR-equivalent jurisdictions: We provide COMPANY-LEVEL identification only. We identify the organization/business associated with an IP address. We do NOT provide person-level identification in these regions. Contact details provided are publicly available business contacts suggested based on company information, NOT identified visitors.

  • United States and other non-GDPR jurisdictions: We may provide PERSON-LEVEL identification of website visitors through our opt-in partnership network. This data is collected with explicit consent from individuals who have opted in to cross-site tracking through partner websites offering free services. Customer acknowledges this data originates from consented sources.

3. CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Customer represents, warrants, and undertakes that:

  • (a) Customer has a valid legal basis under applicable data protection laws (including GDPR, CCPA, and other relevant regulations) for collecting visitor data through the Lead Extract tracking pixel on Customer's website;

  • (b) Customer's privacy policy adequately discloses the use of website visitor identification services and the potential sharing of data with third parties including Lead Extract;

  • (c) Customer has implemented appropriate cookie consent mechanisms where required by law (e.g., ePrivacy Directive);

  • (d) Customer will only use Enrichment Data for lawful B2B marketing and sales purposes and will not use such data in any manner that violates applicable law;

  • (e) Customer will not use the Services to identify, contact, or market to individuals for personal/consumer purposes unrelated to their professional role;

  • (f) Customer will promptly honor any opt-out, unsubscribe, or data deletion requests from Data Subjects contacted using data obtained from Lead Extract;

  • (g) Customer is solely responsible for determining the lawfulness of any outreach or marketing activities using data obtained through the Services.

4. HAPPIERLEADS OBLIGATIONS AS PROCESSOR

When processing Customer Data as a Processor, Lead Extract shall:

  • (a) Process Customer Data only on documented instructions from Customer, unless required by applicable law;

  • (b) Ensure that persons authorized to process Customer Data are bound by confidentiality obligations;

  • (b) While Lead Extract uses commercially reasonable efforts to maintain data accuracy, we cannot guarantee that all information is current, complete, or error-free. Company information, contact details, and person identification may contain inaccuracies.

  • (c) Customer acknowledges that IP-based company identification is probabilistic and may not always correctly identify the visiting organization.

  • (d) Contact details provided as "suggested contacts" for identified companies are NOT necessarily the specific individuals who visited Customer's website. They are publicly available business contacts associated with the identified company.

  • (e) Customer is solely responsible for verifying the accuracy and appropriateness of any data before use.

6. SUB-PROCESSORS

Customer provides general authorization for Lead Extract to engage sub-processors. Lead Extract maintains a list of current sub-processors, which is available upon request. Lead Extract will notify Customer of any intended changes to sub-processors, and Customer may object within 14 days on reasonable grounds. Sub-processors are bound by data protection obligations equivalent to those in this DPA.

7. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Where Customer Data is transferred outside the EEA/UK to countries not deemed adequate by the European Commission, Lead Extract ensures appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

  • EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework certification (where applicable);

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission;

  • UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) where required.

8. SECURITY MEASURES
