This DPA forms part of the agreement between MultiLipi Technologies Private Limited ("MultiLipi") and the entity identified in the Order/Subscription ("Customer"). It governs MultiLipi's processing of Personal Data on behalf of Customer under applicable Data Protection Laws, including the GDPR and UK GDPR. See also our Privacy Policy and current Subprocessors.
1) Definitions
Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning in the Agreement. "Data Protection Laws" means all laws and regulations applicable to the Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement, including the GDPR (EU) 2016/679 and UK GDPR, and any local implementing laws. "Personal Data", "Controller", "Processor", "Data Subject", "Processing", and "Supervisory Authority" have the meanings in the GDPR.
"Sensitive Data" means information requiring extra protection or subject to special rules (for example: special‑category data under GDPR Article 9 such as health/biometric/genetic data; personal data of children under 16; government‑issued identifiers; financial account or payment data; precise geolocation; or credentials/passwords/API keys/secrets). The Services are not designed to process Sensitive Data.
2) Scope and Roles
Customer is a Controller, and MultiLipi is a Processor in relation to the Personal Data described in Annex I.
Where Customer acts as a Processor for a third‑party Controller, MultiLipi acts as Customer's Subprocessor. Customer warrants it has the Controller's authorization to appoint MultiLipi.
MultiLipi will Process Personal Data solely: (a) to provide the Services; (b) as documented by Customer in the Agreement and this DPA; and (c) as required by law.
3) Customer Instructions
Customer instructs MultiLipi to Process Personal Data to provide and improve the Services (in privacy‑preserving ways), including translation, routing by language, glossary/TM, media translation, analytics, and SEO features enabled by Customer.
Customer will not submit or cause the Services to Process Sensitive Data. If Customer nevertheless submits Sensitive Data, Customer is solely responsible for obtaining all necessary consents and safeguards; MultiLipi has no obligation to monitor for Sensitive Data.
MultiLipi will notify Customer if it cannot follow instructions due to a legal requirement, unless prohibited.
MultiLipi will not sell Personal Data, nor use it to build or train generalized AI models without Customer's explicit opt‑in.
4) Confidentiality
MultiLipi ensures persons authorized to Process Personal Data are bound by confidentiality obligations and receive appropriate data protection training.
5) Security Measures
MultiLipi implements and maintains appropriate technical and organizational measures ("TOMs") to protect Personal Data as described in Annex II, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing, as well as the risks for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
6) Subprocessors
Customer provides a general authorization for MultiLipi to engage Subprocessors to provide the Services. Current Subprocessors are listed at /legal/subprocessors.
MultiLipi will impose data protection obligations on Subprocessors equivalent to this DPA and remains responsible for their performance.
If Unsatisfied with the Subprocessors, Customer must contact MultiLipi and provide an opportunity to object on reasonable grounds related to data protection. If unresolved in good faith, Customer may suspend or terminate the affected Services (pro‑rata refund of prepaid fees).
7) Assistance, DPIAs & Prior Consultations
Taking into account the nature of Processing and information available to MultiLipi, we will assist Customer in ensuring compliance with obligations under Articles 32–36 GDPR (security, breach notifications, DPIAs and prior consultations), including by providing relevant documentation about our TOMs and subprocessors.
8) Personal Data Breach Notification
MultiLipi will notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Data. The notification will include information reasonably available to MultiLipi at the time, including: nature of the breach, categories and approximate number of Data Subjects and records, likely consequences, and measures taken or proposed to address the breach.
MultiLipi will promptly take steps to mitigate adverse effects and cooperate with Customer's reasonable requests to meet any breach notification obligations.
9) Data Subject Requests
To the extent legally permitted, MultiLipi will promptly notify Customer if we receive a request from a Data Subject exercising rights under Data Protection Laws relating to Customer Data. MultiLipi will not respond except on Customer's documented instructions and will provide reasonable assistance for Customer to respond to such requests.
10) Return & Deletion of Data
On Customer's documented request, MultiLipi will delete or return all Personal Data (and delete existing copies) within a commercially reasonable period, unless retention is required by law.
Backups are overwritten on scheduled cycles; deletion from backups will occur in the ordinary course.
11) International Data Transfers (SCCs/UK Addendum)
EEA Transfers. Where Processing involves a transfer of Personal Data subject to GDPR to a third country without an adequacy decision, the parties agree that the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission in Decision (EU) 2021/914 (the "SCCs") are incorporated by reference and form part of this DPA as set out below:
Module 2 (Controller to Processor) and/or Module 3 (Processor to Subprocessor), as applicable.
Clause 7 (Docking Clause): applies.
Clause 11 (Redress): does not apply.
Clause 17 (Governing law): laws of Ireland.
Clause 18 (Forum and jurisdiction): courts of Ireland.
Annex I–III to the SCCs are completed by the information in Annex I, Annex II, and Annex III of this DPA.
UK Transfers. For transfers subject to UK GDPR, the parties agree to the ICO's International Data Transfer Addendum (IDTA) Addendum B to the EU SCCs, incorporated by reference. In case of conflict, the UK Addendum prevails for UK Transfers.
Swiss Transfers. For transfers subject to the Swiss FADP, references to the GDPR in the SCCs shall be read as references to the FADP; references to EU Member States become Switzerland; and the competent authority is the FDPIC.
13) Liability & Indemnity
Liability under this DPA is subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability in the Agreement, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law. Each party shall be liable for its own acts and omissions under Data Protection Laws.
14) Miscellaneous
In case of conflict between this DPA and the Agreement, this DPA controls to the extent of the conflict regarding data protection.
If any provision of this DPA is held invalid, the remainder remains in effect.
MultiLipi may update this DPA to reflect changes in law or our Services.
