3.3 Security (Art. 32). Measures in Annex II.
3.4 Sub-Processors. Per Section 4.
3.5 Data-Subject Requests.Processor assists Controller via appropriate technical and organisational measures. Requests received directly by Processor are forwarded to Controller without undue delay; Processor does not respond substantively without Controller's authorisation.

3.7 Deletion or Return.At Controller's choice, Processor deletes or returns all Personal Data at end of service and deletes existing copies, unless EU or Estonian law requires storage.
3.8 Audit Rights.Processor makes available information necessary to demonstrate Article 28 compliance and allows audits by Controller or mandated auditor, limited to once per calendar year, on not less than thirty (30) days' written notice, during business hours, subject to confidentiality, save that audits more frequent than once per calendar year may be conducted where a specific good-faith regulatory trigger, a data-subject complaint supported by specific evidence, or a cyber-incident of material scope justifies them; any such additional audit is scoped to the triggering event and subject to the same notice, business-hours, and confidentiality conditions. Processor may provide a current SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, or equivalent independent attestation in lieu, which Controller accepts as reasonable evidence absent specific good-faith concerns.

4.2 Change Notice.Processor notifies Controller at least fourteen (14) days before any addition or replacement, by updating ewpire.com/subprocessors and emailing the Controller's billing contact. Controller may object on reasonable data-protection grounds within fourteen (14) days. Failing agreement, Controller may terminate the affected portion and receive pro-rata refund of unused prepaid fees.
4.3 Back-to-Back Terms. Processor imposes on every sub-processor, by contract, data-protection obligations materially equivalent to this DPA and remains fully liable for sub-processor performance.
5. International Transfers
5.1 EEA by Default. Persistent Controller Personal Data is stored on EEA infrastructure (primarily Hetzner Germany and Cloudflare EU edge).
5.2 Third-Country Transfers.Where a sub-processor is outside the EEA without adequacy, Processor relies on the European Commission's SCC (Module Two, Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914) with additional safeguards from a transfer impact assessment. UK transfers incorporate the UK IDTA. Counter-signed SCC/IDTA copies available on written request.
5.3 Destinations. Disclosed in Annex III.
5.4 US-regulated Controllers and BYOK election.Where the Controller is subject to US data-localisation obligations or country-of-concern restrictions, and the default LLM sub-processor is not compatible with such obligations, the Controller may elect BYOK on a Pro or Business Subscription (Terms §21.2) to route inference to a provider of the Controller's own choice. ewpire neither warrants the regulatory suitability of any particular LLM sub-processor nor assumes responsibility for the Controller's compliance; the Controller is solely responsible for that assessment and for the consequences of its routing election.
6. Breach Notification

7.2 Allocation. Where both parties are jointly liable under Art. 82(4), each bears the share corresponding to its responsibility per Art. 82(5).
8. Term, Conflict, Law
