Data Processing Addendum (DPA)
This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) forms part of the agreement between Caddy Technologies Inc (“Caddy”, “Processor”) and the customer entity using the Caddy Service (“Customer”, “Controller”).
This DPA applies when Caddy processes Personal Data on behalf of Customer in connection with the Caddy Service.
This DPA supplements the Caddy Terms of Service or any applicable Order Form between the parties.
1. Definitions
For purposes of this DPA:
“Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person processed in connection with the Service, as defined under applicable data protection laws including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
“Processing”, “Controller”, and “Processor” have the meanings set forth in the GDPR.
“Subprocessor” means any third party engaged by Caddy to process Personal Data on behalf of Customer.
2. Roles of the Parties
For purposes of this DPA:
Customer acts as the Controller of Personal Data.
Caddy acts as a Processor, processing Personal Data on behalf of Customer in order to provide the Service.
3. Processing Instructions
Customer instructs Caddy to process Personal Data as necessary to operate the Caddy automation platform, including monitoring integrations, generating summaries, and executing user-configured automations.
Caddy will process Personal Data only:
- to provide and maintain the Service
- to support Customer use of the Service
- to comply with applicable law
- in accordance with Customer instructions as reflected in the agreement between the parties
If Caddy believes that a processing instruction from Customer infringes applicable data protection law, Caddy will inform Customer without undue delay.
4. Confidentiality
Caddy ensures that personnel authorized to process Personal Data are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
Access to Personal Data is limited to personnel who require access in order to operate, maintain, or secure the Service.
5. Security Measures
Caddy maintains administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect Personal Data against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure.
Security measures include:
- encryption in transit (TLS)
- encryption at rest
- application-level access controls
- system monitoring and logging
Caddy is currently working toward SOC 2 Type II certification.
6. Subprocessors
Customer authorizes Caddy to engage Subprocessors to assist in providing the Service.
Subprocessors may include infrastructure providers, analytics providers, authentication providers, and AI model providers.
Examples include:
- Amazon Web Services (infrastructure hosting)
- Supabase (database infrastructure)
- Render (application hosting)
- Anthropic (AI model provider)
- OpenAI (AI model provider)
- Groq (AI model provider)
- PostHog (product analytics)
- Braintrust (LLM evaluation)
- Google (integration APIs)
- Composio (integration authentication and OAuth management)
A current list of Subprocessors is available on our Subprocessors page.
Caddy will ensure that Subprocessors are bound by contractual obligations consistent with this DPA.
7. AI Model Processing
The Service may send prompts and related context to third-party AI model providers in order to generate outputs.
These providers may include:
- Anthropic
- OpenAI
- Groq
These providers act as Subprocessors and process data solely to generate responses for the Service.
Where supported, Caddy configures model providers to limit retention of prompts and outputs.
For example:
- Requests sent to Anthropic are processed under a zero data retention configuration.
- Requests sent to Groq may also be processed under zero data retention configurations where supported.
Model providers may still process prompts temporarily in order to generate responses.
Caddy does not train foundation models using Customer Data.
8. Data Subject Requests
To the extent required by applicable law, Caddy will assist Customer in responding to requests from individuals exercising data protection rights.
Such assistance may include providing access to Personal Data stored within the Service.
9. Personal Data Breach
Caddy will notify Customer of a Personal Data Breach without undue delay and no later than seventy-two (72) hours after becoming aware of the breach.
Caddy will provide available information regarding:
- the nature of the breach
- categories of affected data
- remediation measures taken
10. International Transfers
Customer acknowledges that Personal Data may be transferred to the United States in order to provide the Service.
Where Personal Data originating in the European Economic Area is transferred outside the EEA, such transfers will rely on appropriate safeguards including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
11. Data Deletion
Upon termination of the Service or Customer request, Caddy will, at the Customer’s direction, delete or return Personal Data within 30 days unless retention is required by law.
System backups may persist for up to 30 additional days before deletion.
12. Audits
Upon reasonable request, Caddy will provide information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA, including summaries of security practices and certifications where available.
Customer may request such information no more than once per twelve (12) month period, unless required by a regulatory authority or in response to a confirmed security incident.
Requests must be made with reasonable advance notice and conducted in a manner that does not materially disrupt Caddy’s operations.
13. Liability
Each party’s liability under this DPA is subject to the liability limitations set forth in the governing agreement between the parties.
