01How this DPA is accepted

In short

The DPA is incorporated into the Terms and becomes effective through the same recorded Terms acceptance — or through a separately signed agreement.

This DPA is incorporated into and forms part of the ThunderPhone Terms of Service. For click-through customers, it becomes effective through the same recorded acceptance of the Terms of Service — checking the acceptance checkbox presented in the Product and submitting it. Creating an account, browsing, or using the Service is not, by itself, acceptance of the Terms or this DPA. No signature is required for click-through customers. If a Customer has a signed agreement with us, that agreement governs and this DPA applies as an addendum to it.

02Using this DPA

This DPA has two parts: the Key Terms on this Cover Page and the Common Paper DPA Standard Terms Version 1.1 posted at commonpaper.com/standards/data-processing-agreement/1.1 ("DPA Standard Terms"), incorporated by reference. If there is any inconsistency between the parts of the DPA, this Cover Page will control over the DPA Standard Terms. Capitalized and highlighted words have the meanings given on this Cover Page. If this Cover Page omits or does not define a highlighted word, the default meaning will be "none" or "not applicable" and the correlating clause, sentence, or section does not apply to this DPA. All other capitalized words have the meanings given in the DPA Standard Terms or the Agreement.

03Key terms

Agreement

This DPA supplements the ThunderPhone Terms of Service. The Effective Date for a Customer is the date the Customer accepts the Agreement.

Approved Subprocessors

Approved Subprocessors are listed in Annex III. We use general authorization. We will post updates and notify admin contacts at least 10 business days before a new Subprocessor begins Processing Customer Personal Data. Customers may object by emailing privacy@thunderphone.com within that period; we will work in good faith to resolve objections.

Security Policy

Security measures are defined in the Agreement and summarized in Annex II.

Service Provider Relationship (CCPA/CPRA)

To the extent the CCPA/CPRA applies, Provider is a service provider and will not sell or share Customer Personal Data. Provider will retain, use, and disclose such data only to provide the Service as described in the Agreement or as otherwise permitted by Applicable Data Protection Laws, and will notify Customer if it can no longer meet these obligations.

Restricted Transfers

EEA SCCs: Ireland governs; disputes are in Irish courts. Clause 7 docking is not used. Clause 9 uses Option 2, general authorization, with 10 business days' notice. Clause 11 optional language is not used. Clause 13 square brackets are removed.

UK Addendum: laws of England and Wales govern.

05Annex I(B) - Description of transfer and processing activities

Service

ThunderPhone — AI-assisted telephony platform for call setup/routing, optional recording and transcription, analytics, support, and billing.

Categories of Data Subjects

  • Customer's end users/customers, including callers and call recipients.
  • Customer's employees and administrators.
  • Billing and payment contacts designated by Customer.

Categories of Personal Data

  • Name.
  • Contact information, such as email, phone number, and address.
  • Account and transactional information, such as account identifiers, purchases, and usage.
  • User activity and technical data, such as device, IP address, logs, and diagnostics.
  • Location information, coarse and derived from telecom metadata.
  • Call metadata, such as numbers dialed or received, timestamps, duration, and routing.
  • Audio content, including live streams, recordings if enabled, and transcripts if enabled.
  • Payment identifiers and tokens processed by Stripe; no full PAN on Provider systems.

Special Category Data

Generally no — the Service does not require special-category data. Health data: where Customer's use case involves calls containing health information (for example, healthcare Customers), Customer instructs Provider to process that data solely to provide the Service; for Customers subject to HIPAA, Protected Health Information is additionally governed by the parties' executed Business Associate Agreement, which controls over this DPA with respect to PHI. Other special categories are not intentionally processed; any incidental inclusion is Customer-controlled content.

Frequency of Transfer

Continuous.

Nature and Purpose of Processing

Receiving, holding, using, updating, protecting, sharing to Approved Subprocessors, returning, and erasing data as necessary to provide and support the Service, including analysis, quality, security, troubleshooting, and billing.

Duration of Processing

For the term of the Agreement and as required to perform instructed Processing activities and by Applicable Laws. Upon termination, deletion or return occurs per the DPA Standard Terms and this Cover Page.

06Annex I(C) - Competent supervisory authority

The supervisory authority of the Data Exporter, as determined under SCC Clause 13 or the UK Addendum.

07Annex II - Technical and organizational security measures

Summary, in addition to the Security Policy:

  • Access control and authentication, including RBAC/least privilege, SSO/MFA, and periodic reviews.
  • Encryption.
  • Tenant segregation and minimization; configurable retention for recordings/transcripts.
  • Vulnerability and patch management; risk-based remediation; third-party testing as appropriate.
  • Business continuity and backups; tested restores; regional redundancy per hosting providers.
  • Incident response, including notice to affected Customers without undue delay after awareness of a Security Incident, plus post-incident review.
  • Vendor management, including security/privacy due diligence and SCCs/UK Addendum as needed.
  • Workforce confidentiality and security/privacy training.

08Annex III - Subprocessors

In short

The providers that may process Customer Personal Data to run ThunderPhone.

This Annex is a general authorization: it lists the providers ThunderPhone is authorized to engage for the stated purposes. Not every listed provider is actively Processing Customer Personal Data at any given time, and ThunderPhone may route between authorized providers of the same category without further notice. Additions of new providers to this list follow the notice-and-objection process in the Subprocessors section above.

09Additional terms and contact

Modifications to the DPA Standard Terms: Section 4.1 of the DPA Standard Terms is modified so that Provider will notify Customer of a Security Incident without undue delay after becoming aware of it; the 72-hour outer bound in that section is replaced accordingly. Except as expressly stated on this Cover Page, no additional changes to the DPA Standard Terms. This click-through page, together with the incorporated DPA Standard Terms v1.1, forms the complete DPA for Customers who accept our Terms online.

Updates to this DPA: Provider may update this DPA from time to time. Material updates take effect thirty (30) days after they are posted on this page and notice is sent to the account's administrative email; continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated DPA. Customers with a signed agreement remain governed by their signed version.

Retention criterion: Customer Personal Data processed through the Service is retained until Customer deletes it or the account, requests erasure, or the Agreement terminates — whichever occurs first (see the Privacy Policy for the full retention schedule).

If a customer requires a signed copy, we can provide a signable cover page referencing this online DPA. Contact legal@thunderphone.com.
