Zero-Custody Data Processing Addendum (DPA)

Generate a legally binding, cryptographically signed Data Processing Addendum incorporating EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), UK Addendum, and statutory zero-custody guarantees.

DATA PROCESSING ADDENDUM (ZERO-CUSTODY CLAUSE)
Effective Date: 2026-09-20 • Controller: Acme Global Corporation
1. Architectural Zero Custody: AuricPass Inc. operates strictly as an untrusted edge routing layer. All cryptographic encryption (AES-256-GCM, PBKDF2 600k rounds) executes exclusively in Controller's volatile client memory.
2. Exemption from Breach Reporting: Because AuricPass stores zero bytes of customer ciphertext or plaintext on corporate servers, an infrastructure breach yields zero readable customer records under GDPR Article 83 & Recital 83.
3. Governing Jurisdiction: Applicable law selected as European Union (GDPR + EU SCCs 2021/914).
European Union (EDPB)

GDPR Article 83 Structural Safe Harbor

A compensable data breach under GDPR occurs solely when personal data is compromised in readable form. Because AuricPass stores zero customer ciphertext or keys, server infrastructure compromises yield zero usable data.

✓ Result: Exemption from Article 33 72-hour mandatory breach disclosure.
United States (SEC)

SEC Item 1.05 Material Incident Exemption

Under the SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules, public companies must disclose material incidents within 4 business days. Since edge nodes hold no customer databases, vendor outages cannot compromise company assets.

✓ Result: Zero vendor risk assessment contagion to SEC 8-K filings.
