For Pixla Hosting and Pixla Mail customers who need a DPA.
Effective July 15, 2026 · Version 1.1
This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") forms part of, and is incorporated into, the Terms of Service between Pixla and the customer ("Customer," "you") for use of the online Services. It applies where and to the extent Pixla processes Personal Data on Customer's behalf as a processor in connection with Pixla Hosting and Pixla Mail. Where there is a conflict, this DPA controls over the Terms with respect to the processing of Customer Personal Data.
Pixla will process Customer Personal Data only on Customer's documented instructions, including as set out in the Terms and this DPA and as necessary to provide the Services, unless required by law (in which case Pixla will, where legally permitted, inform Customer). Pixla will inform Customer if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes Data Protection Laws.
Pixla ensures that personnel authorized to process Customer Personal Data are bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations.
Pixla will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect Customer Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, and purposes of processing. These measures include encryption in transit, access controls, and secured infrastructure, as further described in the Privacy Policy and Pixla's security practices.
Taking into account the nature of the processing, Pixla will provide reasonable assistance to help Customer respond to requests from data subjects to exercise their rights. If Pixla receives such a request directly, it will, where permitted, refer the data subject to Customer.
Pixla will notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data, and will provide information reasonably available to Pixla to help Customer meet its notification obligations.
Where Pixla transfers Customer Personal Data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to a country without an adequacy decision, the parties will rely on an appropriate transfer mechanism, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (the "SCCs"), which are incorporated into this DPA by reference. Module Two (Controller-to-Processor) applies where Customer is a controller of the transferred data, and Module Three (Processor-to-Processor) applies where Customer acts as a processor for a third-party controller. For transfers subject to the UK GDPR, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the SCCs applies; for transfers subject to Swiss law, the SCCs apply as adapted for Switzerland. The information required to complete the SCC Annexes is drawn from Section 3 (Details of processing) of this DPA (Annex I) and the current Subprocessors list (Annex III), and the technical and organizational measures in Section 6 (Annex II). *(Counsel to confirm and execute the operative SCC document before reliance.)*
Upon termination or expiry of the Services, Pixla will delete or return Customer Personal Data in accordance with the Terms and the retention periods described in the Privacy Policy, unless retention is required by law.
Pixla will make available information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA and will allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by Customer or an auditor mandated by Customer. Any such audit will take place no more than once in any twelve (12) month period (except where required by a supervisory authority or following a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data), on at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice, during normal business hours, in a manner that does not disrupt Pixla's operations or compromise the confidentiality or security of other customers' data, and at Customer's expense. Where available, Pixla may satisfy an audit request by providing a current third-party audit report, certification, or its written responses to a reasonable security questionnaire.
Each party's liability under this DPA is subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability set out in the Terms.
This DPA takes effect when incorporated into the Terms and continues until Pixla has ceased all processing of Customer Personal Data.
