Data Processing Agreement
Last updated: March 2026
This Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") forms part of the Agreement between MITRITY and Customer (each a "Party," together the "Parties") and governs the processing of personal data by MITRITY on behalf of Customer in connection with the MITRITY Platform.
This DPA is entered into in accordance with Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR").
Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given in the Terms of Service.
1. Definitions
In addition to the definitions in the Terms of Service, the following definitions apply to this DPA:
- "Controller" means the natural or legal person which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. For the purposes of this DPA, Customer is the Controller.
- "Data Subject" means an identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed.
- "Personal Data" means any information relating to a Data Subject, as defined in Article 4(1) of GDPR.
- "Personal Data Breach" means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.
- "Processing" means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, as defined in Article 4(2) of GDPR.
- "Processor" means a natural or legal person which processes personal data on behalf of the Controller. For the purposes of this DPA, MITRITY is the Processor.
- "Sub-Processor" means any third party engaged by the Processor to process personal data on behalf of the Controller.
- "Supervisory Authority" means an independent public authority established by an EU Member State, as defined in Article 4(21) of GDPR.
2. Scope and Roles
2.1 Roles
(a) Customer as Controller: Customer determines the purposes and means of processing personal data transmitted to the Service through Customer's AI agents and Sentinels. Customer is the Controller of Agent Data that contains personal data.
(b) MITRITY as Processor: MITRITY processes personal data on behalf of Customer solely to provide the Service. MITRITY is the Processor with respect to personal data within Agent Data.
(c) MITRITY as Controller: For personal data relating to Customer's account registration, billing, and direct interactions with MITRITY (e.g., support requests), MITRITY is an independent Controller. Such processing is governed by the Privacy Policy, not this DPA.
2.2 Subject Matter of Processing
The processing of personal data under this DPA is performed in connection with the provision of the MITRITY Platform, specifically:
- Receiving, validating, and analyzing AI agent actions transmitted via Edge Nodes
- Storing and indexing agent action data for governance dashboards and audit trails
- Processing behavioral patterns through ML models for anomaly detection
- Generating alerts, reports, and analytics
- Forwarding events to Customer-configured SIEM systems
2.3 Duration of Processing
Processing begins on the Effective Date and continues for the duration of the Agreement. Upon termination, processing continues only as necessary for data export and deletion in accordance with Section 12.
3. Types of Personal Data
The following types of personal data may be processed under this DPA, depending on what Customer's AI agents transmit:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Agent operator identifiers | User IDs, email addresses, or usernames of individuals who configure or manage AI agents |
| End user identifiers | Names, email addresses, account IDs, or other identifiers of individuals whose data is acted upon by Customer's AI agents |
| Action metadata | Timestamps, IP addresses, session identifiers, geolocation data associated with agent actions |
| Business data in payloads | Any personal data that may be present in agent action payloads (e.g., customer names, addresses, financial data, health data — depending on Customer's use case) |
| Communication data | Email addresses, message content, or other communication data processed by Customer's AI agents |
Note: MITRITY does not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal data (Article 9 GDPR). However, if Customer's AI agents process special category data, Customer is responsible for ensuring a valid legal basis and appropriate safeguards are in place before transmitting such data to the Service.
4. Categories of Data Subjects
The following categories of Data Subjects may be affected:
- Employees, contractors, or agents of Customer who operate or manage AI agents
- End users, customers, or clients of Customer whose data is processed by Customer's AI agents
- Any other individuals whose personal data is contained in Agent Data
5. Customer Obligations
As Controller, Customer shall:
(a) Ensure that it has a valid legal basis for the processing of personal data transmitted to the Service, including where necessary obtaining consent from Data Subjects;
(b) Ensure that Data Subjects have been provided with appropriate privacy notices in accordance with Articles 13 and 14 of GDPR;
(c) Ensure that any special categories of personal data (Article 9) or criminal conviction data (Article 10) transmitted to the Service are processed with appropriate legal basis and safeguards;
(d) Provide documented instructions to MITRITY regarding the processing of personal data (the Agreement, including this DPA, constitutes the initial documented instructions);
(e) Comply with all applicable data protection laws in connection with its use of the Service;
(f) Promptly notify MITRITY of any changes to processing instructions or any circumstances that may affect MITRITY's ability to comply with this DPA; and
(g) Conduct data protection impact assessments where required by Article 35 of GDPR.
6. Processor Obligations

MITRITY shall process personal data only on documented instructions from Customer, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country, unless required to do so by EU or Member State law to which MITRITY is subject. In such a case, MITRITY shall inform Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless the law prohibits such notice.
The Agreement, including this DPA, constitutes Customer's documented instructions. Customer may issue additional instructions in writing, provided they are consistent with the Agreement. If MITRITY believes an instruction infringes GDPR or other data protection law, it shall promptly inform Customer.
6.2 Confidentiality (Article 28(3)(b))
MITRITY shall ensure that all persons authorized to process personal data:
(a) Have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality;
