This Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) forms part of the agreement between you (“Customer,” “you,” or “your”) and Fastrepl, Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware corporation, as set forth in our Terms of Service (the “Terms”), Privacy Policy, and Cookie Policy (collectively, the “Agreement”). This DPA governs the processing of personal data by us or our third-party processors when you use Hyprnote (the “Service”), particularly for optional cloud-based AI models. By using the Service, you agree to this DPA. If you do not agree, please do not enable cloud-based features or contact us at help@hyprnote.com. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Terms or Privacy Policy.

1. Scope and Roles

  • Controller: You, the Customer, are the data controller, determining the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., recordings, transcripts, or notes created via the Service, collectively “Your Content”).
  • Processor: Fastrepl, Inc. acts as a data processor when processing Your Content for cloud-based AI models (if enabled). We engage third-party sub-processors (e.g., cloud service providers) to perform these functions, as listed in Annex II.
  • Application: Local processing occurs on your device and is not subject to this DPA as no personal data is transferred to us. Cloud-based processing is initiated only when you explicitly enable cloud-based AI features through the Service’s settings, such as selecting ‘Enable Cloud Transcription’ or similar options.
  • Jurisdictions: This DPA complies with data protection laws in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, Switzerland, California (USA), and other applicable jurisdictions, as specified in the Terms’ Governing Law section.

2. Definitions

  • Personal Data: Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, as defined under applicable laws (e.g., GDPR Art. 4(1), CCPA § 1798.140(o)).
  • Processing: Any operation performed on personal data, such as collection, storage, or analysis, as defined under applicable laws.
  • Data Subject: An individual whose personal data is processed (e.g., meeting participants).
  • Applicable Data Protection Laws: Includes GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), CCPA/CPRA, and other relevant laws.

3. Processing Details

  • Subject Matter: Processing of Your Content for cloud-based AI transcription or summarization, if enabled.
  • Duration: Processing occurs only while cloud-based features are active and terminates upon your disabling of these features, deletion of Your Content, or termination of the Service.
  • Nature and Purpose: Temporary processing to provide AI-powered transcription or summarization, as requested by you.
  • Types of Personal Data: May include audio recordings, transcripts, notes, or metadata (e.g., participant names, if included in Your Content), as determined by you.
  • Categories of Data Subjects: Meeting participants or individuals included in Your Content, as determined by you.
  • Customer Obligations: You warrant that:
    • You have obtained explicit, informed consent from data subjects for recording and cloud processing, as required by law (e.g., GDPR Art. 6, one-party/all-party consent laws).
    • You must provide data subjects with a clear and conspicuous privacy notice prior to enabling cloud-based features, specifying the types of personal data processed, the purpose (e.g., AI transcription), and the involvement of sub-processors, as outlined in our Privacy Policy at https://hyprnote.com/privacy-policy.
    • You will notify data subjects of cloud processing, as outlined in our Privacy Policy.

3.1 Use of Personal Data in AI Models

We do not use Customer Personal Data to train, retrain, or fine-tune large language models, machine learning algorithms, or other artificial intelligence systems unless expressly authorized in writing by the Customer and in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws. Any anonymization or de-identification used for aggregate analytics or product improvement shall:
  • Meet the standard set forth in CPRA § 1798.140(h) and GDPR Recital 26;
  • Include contractual obligations prohibiting re-identification;
  • Be subject to ongoing technical and organizational safeguards.
Significant effects include automated decisions that impact an individual’s legal rights, employment, or financial status. The Service does not currently perform such automated decision-making (e.g., profiling in meeting summaries) but will notify you and obtain consent if such features are introduced.

4. Processor Obligations

We agree to:
  • Process personal data only on your documented instructions, as provided via the Service’s settings or written agreement, unless required by law.
  • Ensure personnel processing personal data is bound by confidentiality obligations.
  • Implement technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, as detailed in Annex I.
  • Assist you in responding to data subject requests (e.g., access, deletion) under Applicable Data Protection Laws, subject to reasonable costs for excessive requests.
  • Notify you without undue delay (within 72 hours where feasible) of any personal data breach, as required by GDPR Art. 33 or other laws.
  • Assist you with data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) or prior consultations with supervisory authorities, where required by GDPR Art. 35–36.
  • Delete or return personal data upon termination of cloud-based features, unless required to retain it by law.
  • Provide information to demonstrate compliance with this DPA, including allowing audits (subject to reasonable notice and confidentiality).
  • We will cooperate with inquiries from data protection authorities regarding the processing of Your Content and notify you of such inquiries unless prohibited by law, to enable you to fulfill your obligations as a controller.
  • Audits under Section 4 are limited to once per calendar year and require 30 days’ written notice to dpo@hyprnote.com. You will bear the reasonable costs of audits, including onsite inspections, unless a material breach of this DPA is identified, in which case we will cover such costs.

5. Sub-Processors

  • Authorization: You authorize us to engage sub-processors listed in Annex II. We will notify you of changes to sub-processors via email or in-app message. Objections to sub-processor changes must be submitted in writing to dpo@hyprnote.com within 14 days, specifying the reasonable grounds for objection. If we cannot accommodate the objection, we may suspend data transfers to the new sub-processor or, if no alternative exists, terminate cloud-based services with notice, as per the Terms.
  • Obligations: We ensure sub-processors are bound by written agreements imposing equivalent obligations to this DPA, including GDPR Art. 28 requirements.
  • Liability: We remain liable for sub-processors’ compliance with this DPA, subject to the limitations in the Terms’ Limitation of Liability section. Our liability for sub-processor compliance does not apply to breaches resulting from your non-compliant instructions or misuse of the Service, as outlined in the Terms and Conditions.

6. International Data Transfers

  • GDPR Compliance: For transfers of personal data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to countries without an adequacy decision (e.g., USA), we use the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), as incorporated in Annex III. The Module 2 (Controller-to-Processor) SCCs apply.
  • Other Jurisdictions: For data transfers from jurisdictions outside the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we implement appropriate safeguards, such as contractual commitments or adequacy assessments, to ensure compliance with local data protection laws.
  • Customer Responsibility: You ensure that data subjects are informed of international transfers, as required by law.

7. Data Subject Rights

  • Support: We assist you in fulfilling data subject requests (e.g., access, rectification, deletion, portability) by providing tools in the Service’s settings or responding to written requests.
  • Direct Requests: If we receive a data subject request, we will redirect it to you unless legally required to respond.
  • CCPA/CPRA Compliance: For California residents, we support your obligations regarding consumer rights (e.g., opt-out of sale/sharing, deletion), noting that we do not sell personal data, but some analytics may constitute “sharing” under CCPA. You are responsible for providing California residents with a clear mechanism to opt out of any ‘sharing’ of personal data for analytics purposes, as defined under CPRA § 1798.140(ad), such as a ‘Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information’ link, consistent with our Privacy Policy.

8. Security Measures

  • Commitment: We implement industry-standard security measures, as detailed in Annex I, to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure.
  • Customer Role: You are responsible for securing Your Content on your device and ensuring compliance with recording laws, as outlined in the Terms’ Your Responsibilities section.
  • Breach Notification: We notify you of security incidents impacting personal data. Breach notifications will include, to the extent known: (i) the nature of the breach; (ii) categories and approximate number of affected data subjects and records; (iii) likely consequences; and (iv) measures taken or proposed to mitigate harm. We will assist you in preparing notifications to supervisory authorities or affected data subjects.

9. Termination and Deletion

  • Termination: Upon disabling cloud-based features, termination of the Service, or your request, we will delete or return all personal data, except where retention is required by law (e.g., for legal obligations).
  • Certification: Upon your written request to dpo@hyprnote.com, we will provide a written certification of personal data deletion within 30 days, subject to legal retention requirements.
  • Local Data: Your Content stored locally on your device remains under your control and is not subject to this DPA.

10. Liability

  • Limits: Our liability under this DPA is subject to the Terms’ Limitation of Liability section, capping liability at the greater of $100 USD or fees paid in the prior 12 months, to the extent permitted by law.
  • GDPR Exception: For GDPR-related liabilities, each party is responsible for damages caused by its non-compliance, as per GDPR Art. 82.
  • Indemnification: You indemnify us against claims arising from your failure to obtain consent or comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws, as per the Terms’ Indemnification section.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

  • Governing Law: This DPA is governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where preempted by mandatory local laws (e.g., GDPR for EEA/UK/Swiss residents), as specified in the Terms’ Governing Law section.
  • Disputes: Disputes will be resolved through good-faith negotiation. Unresolved disputes will be handled in San Francisco, California courts, unless local laws grant you rights to your jurisdiction’s courts. For GDPR-related disputes, EEA/UK/Swiss residents may lodge complaints with local data protection authorities or seek remedies in their courts. Alternative dispute resolution (e.g., mediation) is encouraged, via dpo@hyprnote.com.
  • Statutory Rights: Nothing in this DPA limits your mandatory statutory rights under Applicable Data Protection Laws.

12. Miscellaneous

  • Changes: We may update this DPA to reflect legal or operational changes. Material changes will be notified via email or in-app message at least 30 days before taking effect, as per the Terms’ Changes to Terms section.
