This DPA forms part of the agreement governing your use of the Service (the “Agreement”), such as our Terms of Service, an order form, or any written/electronic agreement between the parties. If there is a conflict, this DPA prevails regarding the processing of Customer Personal Data (as defined below).

1.8 “SCCs” means the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission under Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914.
2. Scope and Roles
2.1 Scope. This DPA applies only to the extent AnsrFast processes Customer Personal Data as Processor on behalf of Customer.

(b) retention is required by applicable law or necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for security/fraud prevention purposes (in which case access will be restricted).
11.3 Backups. Residual copies in backups may persist for a limited period according to backup cycles and will be protected and deleted in due course.
12. Audit and Compliance Information

15. Miscellaneous
15.1 Changes. AnsrFast may update this DPA to comply with legal requirements. If changes materially reduce protections, AnsrFast will provide notice and Customer may object on reasonable grounds.
15.2 Governing law. This DPA is governed by the laws of France. Courts of Paris have jurisdiction, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
