Data Processing Agreement

The DPA, in plain prose.

When a customer entrusts us with personal data of their own users, Aevrix Group acts as a processor. The terms below describe how. They are designed to satisfy GDPR Art. 28 and the UK-GDPR equivalent without requiring a redline.

Article 1

Parties & roles.

The customer (a legal entity that has signed up to an Aevrix service) is the Controller. Aevrix Group OJSC, a legal entity registered in Baku, Azerbaijan, is the Processor. Sub-processors are listed at /sub-processors/.

Article 2

Scope of processing.

  • Subject matter: provision of the Aevrix service the Controller has subscribed to.
  • Duration: the term of the underlying subscription, plus a defined retention period not exceeding 30 days after termination.
  • Nature and purpose: hosting, storage, transmission, support, billing, abuse monitoring, security incident response.
  • Personal data categories: identifiers, contact data, content the Controller submits, technical metadata.
  • Data subjects: the Controller's end users, staff, and other persons whose data the Controller chooses to submit.
Article 3

Processor obligations.

  • Process only on documented instructions from the Controller, unless required by law.
  • Ensure confidentiality: staff with access are bound by written confidentiality terms.
  • Implement appropriate security measures — see /controls/ for the current catalogue.
  • Use sub-processors only with general written authorisation; add or replace sub-processors only after public update at /sub-processors/.
  • Assist the Controller in responding to data-subject requests, DPIAs, prior consultations, and breach notifications.
  • Notify the Controller without undue delay upon becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting their data — within 72 hours where reasonably possible.
  • Return or delete personal data at the end of the service at the Controller's choice, save where law requires retention.
  • Make available all information necessary to demonstrate compliance, including audit reports we hold and reasonable cooperation with the Controller's audits.
Article 4

International transfers.

Aevrix Group is established in Azerbaijan. Where personal data is transferred outside of the data subject's jurisdiction, we use Standard Contractual Clauses (Commission Decision 2021/914) and, where the data subject is in the UK, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum. We perform a transfer-impact assessment before relying on either.

Article 5

Security measures.

The technical and organisational measures are listed and dated at /controls/. These are minimums — we revise them upward over time and never downward without notice to the Controller.

Article 6

Sub-processors.

The Controller authorises the sub-processors listed at /sub-processors/. The Controller may object in writing to a new sub-processor within 30 days of notification; if the parties cannot agree, the Controller may terminate the affected service with pro-rata refund.

Article 7

Liability.

Liability under this DPA is the liability under the underlying subscription agreement. Nothing here limits liability under mandatory law (including under Art. 82 GDPR for damages to data subjects).
