This Data Processing Agreement (“Agreement“) forms part of the Agreement for the Services (“Principal Agreement“) between Stormly (as a “Data Processor”) and the Client (as a “Data Controller”) (and together as the “Parties”).

This Data Processing Agreement together with the “Data Processing Terms”” apply applies to all data sent from Client to Stormly; not only that part of data that would fall under the GDPR. While implemented with the GDPR in mind, it should be compatible with other potential data legislation as well, such as the new CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) that goes into effect on the 1st of January 2020.

Stormly has a dedicated Data Protection Officer: Maurice Sikkink, which can be reached by email at dpo@stormly.com.

Effective date: 6 September 2023

2. Nature of Data Shared with Chat GPT: Interactions with Chat GPT involve the transmission of event names, event property names and contents, user property names and contents. It's crucial to note that this data, in its standard form, doesn't encompass personally identifiable information (PII). However, if a company tailors its setup to capture specific PII such as email addresses, this action would contravene Stormly's terms of service.

For example, instead of user-level specifics, data may indicate a distinct summarization of all tracked country or device types, without pinpointing individual users.
7. Liability Stipulation: Stormly is not accountable for any repercussions, including damages or losses, resulting from the usage of the Chat GPT service powered by Microsoft Azure.
8. Emphasis on Data Security: Stormly prioritizes data security and privacy. Users are earnestly cautioned against transmitting any sensitive or personal data within the chat interface. Adhering to Stormly's guidelines is paramount to ensure a secure and privacy-conscious platform experience.
