Data Processing Addendum (Full)
Last updated: 14 September 2025
This Data Processing Addendum (DPA) forms part of any agreement between Technophobia Ltd and the Customer. It applies when we process personal data for you as a processor under UK data protection law.
Processor: Technophobia Ltd (Company No. 14898332, VAT GB 495 7043 58), 13B Devonshire Road Industrial Estate, Millom, LA18 4JS, United Kingdom. hello@technophobia.uk · +44 1229 774591
Controller: The Customer named in the main agreement or SoW.
Terms used here have the meanings in UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
- Subject matter: automation, integration, monitoring, support, and related services described in the SoW.
- Duration: the term of the services plus any exit period.
Processing may include collecting, receiving, storing, organising, adapting, transmitting, restricting, deleting, or otherwise handling data to run agreed workflows, integrations, notifications, reports, and tests.
- Personal data: names, emails, phone numbers, role, account IDs, order/booking details, message content, workflow logs and metadata.
- Special categories: not intended. Do not include unless we both agree controls in writing.
- Data subjects: your staff, prospects, customers, suppliers, and partners.
- We process personal data only on your documented instructions: the agreement, SoW, tickets, and your written requests.
- If an instruction appears unlawful, we will tell you.
- We keep personal data confidential.
- Staff and contractors are bound by confidentiality and receive appropriate training.
- Access is on a least-privilege basis.
We will implement the technical and organisational measures in Schedule B and any extra measures in the SoW, taking account of risk, state of the art, and costs.
- We may use sub-processors listed at /sub-processors and any project-specific ones named in the SoW.
- We put written terms in place with sub-processors that protect personal data to a similar level.
- You authorise our use of sub-processors for the services. You may object on reasonable grounds; we will discuss options.
If personal data leaves the UK, we will use a valid transfer tool (e.g., UK IDTA, UK Addendum to EU SCCs, or adequacy). We will apply supplementary measures where needed.
- We help you respond to data subject requests that relate to our processing.
- We assist with security, breach notices, impact assessments, and consultations to the extent relevant to our services.
- If we become aware of a personal data breach in systems we control, we will notify you without undue delay.
- We will share known details, mitigation steps, and a contact point. Notifications are not admissions of fault.
- We keep records of processing we carry out for you.
- On reasonable notice, we will provide information needed to show compliance. Where a formal audit is required, we agree scope, timing, and confidentiality first.
- On end of services, at your choice we delete or return personal data held in systems we control, unless law requires retention.
- We may keep minimal logs and billing records as required by law.
- You have a lawful basis for personal data you ask us to process.
- You do not send special category data unless agreed in writing with controls.
- You keep your own systems and consents in order.
- Liability follows the caps and exclusions in the main agreement.
- If there is a conflict, this DPA controls for data topics, then the main agreement.
English law governs this DPA. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
