Data Processing Addendum
Last Updated: July 21, 2026
This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") is entered into by and between the Customer ("Controller" or "Merchant") and Algorithmic Labs, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Processor" or "Vaybel"). This DPA is incorporated into and forms an integral part of the Vaybel Terms of Service (the "Agreement") between Vaybel and the Merchant to reflect the parties' agreement with regard to the Processing of Personal Data.
1. Definitions
“Data Protection Laws” means all applicable laws and regulations relating to data privacy and security, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) (“GDPR”), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”), and the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”).
“Data Subject,” “Personal Data,” “Processing,” and “Personal Data Breach” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the GDPR.
“Controller” and “Processor” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the GDPR. For the purposes of this DPA, the Merchant is the Controller, and Vaybel is the Processor.
“Services” refers to the services provided by Vaybel to the Merchant pursuant to the Agreement.
“Sub-processor” means any third-party processor engaged by Vaybel to Process Personal Data in connection with the Services.
2. Processing of Personal Data
2.1. Roles of the Parties
(a) Vaybel as Processor. With respect to Customer Information — personal data relating to the Merchant's end customers that the Merchant submits to, or that reaches the Services through an integration the Merchant has connected, including order data transmitted to Production Partners — the Merchant is the Controller and Vaybel is the Processor. This DPA governs that Processing.
(b) Vaybel as Controller. With respect to Merchant Data — personal data relating to the Merchant and its personnel, including account, contact, billing, usage, support, and Merchant Content — Vaybel acts as an independent Controller. That processing is governed by the Vaybel Privacy Policy and not by this DPA.
(c) Independent Controllers. Certain third parties process personal data as independent controllers and not as Vaybel's Sub-processors, as listed in Annex 2. These include merchants of record for subscription billing, payment processors acting for their own regulatory and fraud-prevention purposes, sales channels the Merchant connects, Production Partners the Merchant connects, and advertising platforms. Vaybel transmits personal data to sales channels and Production Partners solely on the Merchant's instruction and in reliance on the Merchant's own relationship with them. The Merchant is responsible for establishing a lawful basis and any required transfer mechanism for its relationship with those parties.
2.5. No Processing for Vaybel’s Own Purposes
Vaybel shall not Process Personal Data Processed on behalf of the Merchant under this DPA for any purpose other than performance of the Services, and shall not use such Personal Data to develop, train, retrain, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve any machine-learning model or artificial-intelligence system. For the avoidance of doubt, this restriction does not apply to (i) Merchant Content as defined in the Agreement, in respect of which Vaybel acts as a controller under the licence granted in the Agreement and as described in the Privacy Policy, or (ii) aggregated statistical data that does not identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify any natural person, the Merchant, or any Customer.
2.2. Merchant’s Processing of Personal Data
The Merchant shall, in its use of the Services, Process Personal Data in accordance with the requirements of Data Protection Laws. The Merchant’s instructions to Vaybel for the Processing of Personal Data shall comply with Data Protection Laws.
2.3. Vaybel’s Processing of Personal Data
Vaybel shall only Process Personal Data on behalf of and in accordance with the Merchant’s documented instructions for the following purposes: (i) Processing in accordance with the Agreement and this DPA; and (ii) Processing for any other purposes as subsequently instructed by the Merchant.
2.4. Details of the Processing
The subject matter, duration, nature and purpose of the Processing, as well as the types of Personal Data and categories of Data Subjects, are set forth in Annex 1.
3. Obligations of the Processor
3.1. Confidentiality
Vaybel shall ensure that its personnel engaged in the Processing of Personal Data are informed of the confidential nature of the Personal Data and are subject to obligations of confidentiality.
3.2. Security
Vaybel shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Data from a Personal Data Breach, as described in Annex 3.
3.3. Sub-processing
- a. The Merchant provides general written authorization for Vaybel to engage Sub-processors to support the provision of the Services. Vaybel shall maintain a current list of its Sub-processors, as set forth in Annex 2.
- b. Vaybel shall provide the Merchant with at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of the addition or replacement of any Sub-processor, by email and by updating Annex 2. The Merchant may object on reasonable data-protection grounds within fifteen (15) days of notice. The parties shall work in good faith to resolve the objection; if Vaybel cannot make a commercially reasonable alternative available within thirty (30) days, the Merchant may terminate the affected Services and Vaybel shall refund prepaid fees covering the terminated period. Termination under this clause is the Merchant's sole and exclusive remedy for an objection.
- c. Where Vaybel engages a Sub-processor, it shall do so by way of a written contract which imposes on the Sub-processor the same data protection obligations as are imposed on Vaybel under this DPA.
- d. Where a Sub-processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations, Vaybel remains fully liable to the Merchant for the performance of that Sub-processor's obligations, as required by Article 28(4) GDPR.
3.4. Data Subject Rights
Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Vaybel shall provide reasonable assistance to the Merchant, to the extent possible, for the fulfillment of the Merchant’s obligation to respond to requests from Data Subjects exercising their rights under Data Protection Laws. Vaybel will direct any such requests it receives to the Merchant.
3.5. Personal Data Breach
Vaybel shall notify the Merchant no later than 48 hours after becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach. Vaybel shall provide the Merchant with sufficient information to allow the Merchant to meet any obligations to report the breach to a supervisory authority.
3.6. Return or Deletion of Data
Upon termination of the Agreement, Vaybel shall, at the choice of the Merchant, delete or return all Personal Data to the Merchant, unless applicable law requires storage of the Personal Data.
3.7. Audit Rights
Upon written request, no more than once per year, Vaybel will make available SOC 2, ISO-27001, or similar reports, and will allow Merchant (or its independent auditor) to conduct a reasonable audit of Vaybel’s data-processing facilities, subject to reasonable notice and confidentiality.
3.8. Assistance with DPIAs
At Merchant’s reasonable request, Vaybel will assist Merchant with Data-Protection Impact Assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities, in each case solely in relation to Processing of Personal Data by Vaybel.
4. International Transfers
Vaybel may transfer and process Personal Data in the United States and other jurisdictions where its Sub-processors are located. For any transfers of Personal Data from the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom to a country not deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection, Vaybel shall ensure that appropriate safeguards, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), are in place.
For transfers from the EEA, the parties agree that the EU Standard Contractual Clauses 2021/914 (Module 2, Controller-to-Processor) are incorporated by reference. The Annexes of the SCCs shall be deemed completed with the information set out in the Annexes of this DPA. For transfers subject to the UK GDPR, the parties adopt the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (version B.1.0).
5. General Provisions

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and the Agreement, the provisions of this DPA shall prevail with regard to the subject matter of data processing.
