This Data Processing Agreement (hereinafter: “DPA”) applies to the processing activities carried out by Media Koerier (KVK 94186367, Generaal Spoorlaan 133, 2283 GE Rijswijk, hereinafter: “Processor”) on behalf of the User (hereinafter: “Controller”) in the context of using ZienKlaar.

Article 1 — Definitions

Personal data: any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, as defined under the GDPR.

Processing: any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, as set out in Article 4(2) GDPR.

Sub-processor: a third party engaged by the Processor to process personal data.

Article 2 — Subject matter and duration

The Processor processes personal data solely for the purpose of providing the ZienKlaar platform. The DPA is valid for the duration of the user agreement and terminates automatically upon account cancellation.

Article 3 — Nature of processing

Categories of personal data: email addresses, names and usage data (room type, style, timestamp) of the Controller's staff. Uploaded property photos may contain personal data if individuals are visible; these are retained for 30 days in secure cloud storage and automatically deleted thereafter.

Support chat and support tickets: messages typed by a visitor or user in the chat on the website are processed in order to answer the question; for that purpose they are sent to Google's Vertex AI in the EU region europe-west4 (the Netherlands) and are not stored by us. If the conversation is turned into a support ticket, the conversation and the contact email address provided are stored and automatically deleted after 90 days.

Purposes: delivery of AI-styled images, authentication, invoicing and customer support (including handling support requests).

Data subjects: staff and clients of the Controller.

Article 4 — Obligations of the Processor

  • Ensure confidentiality by all involved staff;
  • Implement technical and organisational security measures in accordance with Article 32 GDPR;
  • Assist in facilitating the rights of data subjects;
  • Report data breaches within 72 hours of discovery;
  • Delete or return data upon termination of the agreement, except for data the Processor is required to retain by law (invoice and payment data, 7 years — art. 52(4) AWR);
  • Provide all information necessary to demonstrate GDPR compliance.

Article 5 — Sub-processors

The Processor uses the following sub-processors. By accepting this DPA, the Controller consents to the engagement of these parties:

Chat messages are processed via Vertex AI in the EU region europe-west4 (the Netherlands); image generation may take place outside the EU. Support-ticket emails — containing the contact email address and the chat conversation — are sent via Google Workspace and stored in the Processor's mailbox. Processing in accordance with Google's Cloud Data Processing Addendum. Transfer based on SCC.
  • Modal Labs, Inc. (US) — Photos are exclusively processed and not stored. Transfer based on SCC.

For every purchase, name, email address, the invoice line, the amount and the VAT are recorded; for a business buyer, also company name, address, Chamber of Commerce and VAT numbers. Based in the Netherlands, data hosted within the EU — no transfer outside the EEA, so Article 6 does not apply to it.

The Processor will notify the Controller in advance of any changes to the list of sub-processors. The Controller may object within 14 days.

Article 6 — International transfers

Personal data and property photos may be transferred to the United States when processed by OpenAI, Google, Modal Labs, Vercel and Clerk.

Support chat messages are sent by us to Google's Vertex AI endpoint in the EU region europe-west4 (the Netherlands), and therefore not to an endpoint outside the EU.

The Processor applies the following security measures: TLS encryption for all data transmission, encryption of databases and file storage at rest, least-privilege access control, and regular security reviews.
