If Customer and Iteration X have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6 (Transfers of Personal Data), the parties agree that the certification of deletion of Personal Data that is described in Clause 8.1(d) and Clause 8.5 of the EU SCCs (as applicable) shall be provided by Iteration X to Customer only upon Customer’s request.

To provide you with our Platform and Services, we need to process the Personal Data. This is why we implement data processing activities, which can be performed by us as being a data processor of our users or as an independent data controller, depending on which data processing activity is considered
As a data processor of our Users, here are the data processing activities that are implemented by us on their behalf :
- We store and host the Personal Data contained in the content generated by users of our Services and Platform;
- We collaborate with our users when they ask us to do so and if we can when a Personal Data subject exercised one of his or her individual rights.
On our sole responsibility of data controller we only :
- Handle the login and authentication credentials of our users;
- Perform a technical monitoring of the infrastructure;
- Analyze habits of the way our products is used by users;
- Perform audience and usage monitoring of the Platform using Plausible.io services;
- Handle the users' rights request related to Personal Data protection (CCPA, GDPR and Canadian individual rights);
- Send emails to our users;
- Send messages to our Website’s chat users; and manage the Users’ accounts creation.
Please note that the Personal Data that can be processed by users using our Services and Platform are sole data controllers of the processing they decide to perform via our Services and Platform.
Thus, in case Personal Data subjects are not users, please note that the responsibility of being the data controllers of the data processing performed using our Platform and Services is assumed by our users who process the Personal Data of these data subjects. We propose to our Users, acting as data controllers, to agree to our Data Protection Addendum that is publicly available here : www.iterationx.com/dpa-scc
This Data Protection Addendum provides the statements ruling the relations between us and our users using our Services and Platform to perform such data processing activities.
As part of our commitment to your privacy, we process your data for various lawful reasons:
Contractual Obligations: We process your data to:
Legitimate Interests: We process your data to:
Consent: We may seek your consent to:
You can revoke consent anytime via provided unsubscribe options or by contacting us as mentioned in our Privacy Policy's contact section.
For registered users, Iteration X might occasionally email updates about security, features, or news. You can opt out of emails anytime via the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our emails. If you reach out to us (e.g., for support), we may share your request to aid our response or assist others, but your personal details will always remain private.
1- Customer acknowledges and agrees that Iteration X may:
(i) engage its affiliates and the Authorized Sub-Processors on the List (defined below) to access and process Personal Data in connection with the Services and
(ii) from time to time engage additional third parties for the purpose of providing the Services, including without limitation the processing of Personal Data. By way of this Addendum, Customer provides general written authorization to Iteration X to engage sub-processors as necessary to perform the Services.
2- A list of Iteration X’s current Authorized Sub-Processors will be made available to Customer at Data Processors. Such List may be updated by Iteration X from time to time. Iteration X will notify by email Customer of new Authorized Sub-Processors and Customer. At least ten (10) days before enabling any third party other than existing Authorized Sub-Processors to access or participate in the processing of Personal Data, Iteration X will add such third party to the List and notify subscribers, including Customer, via the aforementioned notifications. Customer may object to such an engagement by informing Iteration X in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of the aforementioned notice by Customer, provided such objection is in writing and based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. Customer acknowledges that certain sub-processors are essential to providing the Services and that objecting to the use of a sub-processor may prevent Iteration X from offering the Services to Customer.
3- If Customer reasonably objects to an engagement in accordance with Section 4.2, and Iteration X cannot provide a commercially reasonable alternative within a reasonable period of time, Customer may discontinue the use of the affected Service by providing written notice to Iteration X. Discontinuation shall not relieve Customer of any fees owed to Iteration X under the Terms of Service.
4- If Customer does not object to the engagement of a third party in accordance with Section 4.2 within ten (10) days of notice by Iteration X, that third party will be deemed an Authorized Sub-Processor for the purposes of this Addendum.
5- Iteration X will enter into a written agreement with the Authorized Sub-Processor imposing on the Authorized Sub-Processor data protection obligations comparable to those imposed on Iteration X under this Addendum with respect to the protection of Personal Data. In case an Authorized Sub-Processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement with Iteration X, Iteration X will remain liable to Customer for the performance of the Authorized Sub-Processor’s obligations under such agreement.
6- If Customer and Iteration X have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6 (Transfers of Personal Data), (i) the above authorizations will constitute Customer’s prior written consent to the subcontracting by Iteration X of the processing of Personal Data if such consent is required under the Standard Contractual Clauses, and (ii) the parties agree that the copies of the agreements with Authorized Sub-Processors that must be provided by Iteration X to Customer pursuant to Clause 9(c) of the EU SCCs may have commercial information, or information unrelated to the Standard Contractual Clauses or their equivalent, removed by the Iteration X beforehand, and that such copies will be provided by the Iteration X only upon request by Customer.
For the good functioning of our Platform that makes the Services available to the Users, we rely on third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Services and manage our Platform and to provide our Services on our behalf. In the strict frame of the provision of services, these third parties (also called “our Data Processors”) might have access to your PersonalInformation only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use your information for any other purpose.
You can find the list of our Data Processors, implementing data processing on our behalf, in our Security Center:
For the complete and up-to-date list of all our subprocessors, including their purposes and locations, please visit our Security Center.
To pursue the purposes exposed in section 3 of this Policy, we collect the categories of Personal data detailed in its section 2.
However, we also want to inform you that we don’t store this data for an unlimited period. Hereinafter you will find the details of the duration rules that we respect in terms of retention of these Personal data.
Generally, we don’t retain data more than the period of time that is necessary to achieve our purposes detailed in section 3.
So first, all the data processed to ensure security are stored for a 12 months period.
The relevant data processed to improve the experience and enrich our products are stored for a 6 months period, except if the users resigned their contract and deleted their account.
Concerning the data that are necessary to process for making our users able to actually use our Platform and Services, we store their data only for the period of time that corresponds to the moment when they created their account until the one when they resigned their account.
The data processed for making us able to inform our users about changes in our public legal documents is also only stored for this period of time.

Substantially all information we receive from you or via your use of our Services are copied, stored and managed through computer servers owned or controlled by us.

By using our services, you understand and agree that we have no liability for the actions, behaviors or failings of our IAAS provider.
