Data Processing Agreement
Last updated: February 11, 2026
This Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") forms part of the agreement between Raven GmbH ("Raven", "Processor") and the customer entity entering into Raven's Terms of Service ("Customer", "Controller"). This DPA applies only to the extent Raven processes Personal Data on behalf of Customer in connection with the Services.
1. Definitions
- "Applicable Data Protection Laws" means all laws and regulations applicable to the processing of Personal Data under this DPA, including, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 ("GDPR"), the UK GDPR, and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection ("FADP") and its ordinances.
- "Customer Data" has the meaning set out in the Terms of Service and includes Customer Content and account/workspace data provided in connection with the Services.
- "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, as defined under Applicable Data Protection Laws.
- "Process" / "Processing" has the meaning given under Applicable Data Protection Laws.
- "Subprocessor" means any third party engaged by Raven to process Personal Data on behalf of Customer.
- "Security Incident" means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data processed by Raven on behalf of Customer.
2. Roles and Scope
2.1 Processor role
Raven will process Personal Data on behalf of Customer as a Processor to provide and support the Services in accordance with the Terms of Service and this DPA.
2.2 Controller role
Raven acts as an independent controller for personal data it processes for its own purposes (for example, website operation, account administration for self-serve users, billing administration, security and fraud prevention, and service improvement where permitted). Such processing is described in Raven's Privacy Policy and is not governed by this DPA.
2.3 Customer instructions
Customer is responsible for determining the purposes and means of Processing and for ensuring its instructions comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws.
3. Details of Processing
The subject matter, duration, nature and purpose of the Processing, the types of Personal Data, and categories of Data Subjects are described in Annex 1 (Details of Processing).
4. Processor Obligations
4.1 Instructions
Raven will Process Personal Data only on documented instructions from Customer, including as necessary to provide the Services, support, and security functions, unless required to do otherwise by applicable law. If Raven is required by law to Process Personal Data other than on Customer's instructions, Raven will notify Customer of that legal requirement unless prohibited by law.
4.2 Confidentiality
Raven will ensure that persons authorized to Process Personal Data are under an appropriate obligation of confidentiality.
4.3 Security
Raven will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data, as described in Annex 2 (Security Measures).
4.4 No model training on Customer Content
Raven does not use Customer Content (including prompts, CAD files, and generated outputs) to train or fine-tune AI/ML models.
4.5 Assistance with data subject rights
Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Raven will assist Customer by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as possible, for the fulfillment of Customer's obligation to respond to requests for exercising data subject rights under Applicable Data Protection Laws.
4.6 Assistance with compliance
Raven will provide reasonable assistance to Customer with (i) security of Processing, (ii) notifications to supervisory authorities and affected individuals, (iii) data protection impact assessments, and (iv) prior consultations, in each case to the extent required by Applicable Data Protection Laws and taking into account the nature of the Processing and information available to Raven.
4.7 Security Incident notification
Raven will notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a Security Incident and will provide information reasonably required for Customer to meet its notification obligations. Raven's notification will include, where feasible, the nature of the incident, categories and approximate number of affected data subjects and records, likely consequences, and measures taken or proposed to address the incident.
4.8 Deletion or return
Upon termination or expiration of the Services, Raven will, at Customer's choice and as applicable, delete or return Personal Data in accordance with the Terms of Service and Raven's operational retention and deletion practices, unless applicable law requires storage.
4.9 Records
Raven will maintain records of processing activities to the extent required by Applicable Data Protection Laws.
5. Subprocessing
5.1 Authorization
Customer provides Raven with general authorization to engage Subprocessors to Process Personal Data on behalf of Customer, subject to the terms of this Section 5.
5.2 Current Subprocessors
Raven's current Subprocessors are listed in Annex 3 (Subprocessor List).
5.3 Changes and notification
Raven will provide notice of any intended additions or replacements of Subprocessors by updating the Subprocessor List or otherwise providing notice through the Services. If Customer objects to a new Subprocessor on reasonable data protection grounds, the parties will work together in good faith to address the objection, which may include providing an alternative or enabling Customer to terminate the affected Services (where available) without penalty.
5.4 Flow-down
Raven will impose data protection obligations on Subprocessors that are no less protective than those in this DPA. Raven remains responsible for the performance of its Subprocessors' obligations under this DPA.
5.5 Customer-Provided Model Providers
If Customer configures a Customer-Provided Model Provider (as described in the Terms of Service), that provider is not a Subprocessor of Raven for purposes of this DPA and Customer is responsible for its relationship and compliance with that provider.
6. International Transfers
6.1 Baseline EU/Switzerland processing
Raven's Services are designed so that, to the extent Raven can control, Customer Data is hosted and processed in the EU or Switzerland.
6.2 Limited exceptions
Processing may occur outside the EU/Switzerland in limited circumstances, including where Customer configures an integration or Customer-Provided Model Provider that transfers data outside the EU/Switzerland, or where required by law.
6.3 Transfer safeguards
Where Applicable Data Protection Laws require a transfer mechanism for transfers of Personal Data to a country without an adequate level of protection, the parties will rely on an appropriate transfer mechanism, such as the then-current standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission (and, where applicable, the UK addendum and Swiss-related amendments) or other recognized safeguards.
7. Audits and Information
7.1 Information
Upon reasonable request, Raven will make available to Customer information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA, including relevant security documentation.
7.2 Audits
Customer may audit Raven's compliance with this DPA no more than once per year (unless required by law or following a Security Incident), subject to reasonable advance notice, scope limitations, and confidentiality obligations. Raven may satisfy audit requests by providing third-party audit reports or certifications where available.
8. Liability and Priority
8.1 Liability
Liability under this DPA is subject to the limitations of liability set out in the Terms of Service, unless prohibited by Applicable Data Protection Laws.
8.2 Priority
In the event of a conflict between this DPA and the Terms of Service with respect to data protection or privacy matters, this DPA will control.
8.3 Order from conflicts
If the parties execute a separate written data processing agreement for the same Processing, that agreement will control to the extent of any conflict.
9. Term and Termination
This DPA remains in effect for the term of the Services and until Raven deletes or returns Personal Data as described in Section 4.8.
