Data processing agreement

Merlinfield, Inc. · Effective 28 October 2026

When you send us data for an X-ray, a shadow period, or a guarantee, we process it for you. Our DPA puts that in writing. Here's what it says; write to us and we send it for signature, or send us yours.

Roles

You're the controller of the data you send us. We're your processor, and we act only on your instructions: the order form, the X-ray, and this agreement.

What we process

Usage exports, invoices, unit counts, call metadata, and, during a guarantee, model calls in transit to the provider. We never store prompt or completion text.

Subprocessors

Only those on our subprocessors page. We tell you 30 days before adding one, and you can object.

Security

Encryption in transit and at rest, access limited to the staff on your account, every read logged, zero data retention at the model providers, and an independent penetration test every year.

Breaches

We tell you within 48 hours of finding a breach that touches your data, with what we know and what we're doing about it.

Transfers

Data is processed in the United States. For personal data from the EU or the UK, the agreement includes the Standard Contractual Clauses.

Audits

We answer your security questionnaire, share our SOC 2 report once we have it, and allow one audit a year on reasonable notice.

Deletion

On the schedule in our privacy policy, or sooner when you ask. When we're done, we delete your data and confirm it in writing.

Signing it

Write to hello@merlinfield.com. We send ours for signature the same day, or review yours.
