Data Processing Addendum
This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") forms part of the agreement between AI Labs Inc., doing business as Prescene ("Prescene," "Processor," "we," "us"), and the customer entity named on the corresponding order form, Enterprise Agreement, or accepted Terms of Service ("Customer," "Controller," "you") (each a "Party" and together the "Parties") (the "Agreement").
This DPA applies to Prescene's processing of Personal Data on behalf of Customer in connection with the Services. Where this DPA conflicts with the Agreement, this DPA controls with respect to data protection. By executing or accepting the Agreement, Customer enters into this DPA on behalf of itself and its Authorized Affiliates.

2. Roles of the Parties
2.1 Controller and Processor
For Customer Data processed under the Agreement, Customer is the Controller (or, where Customer is itself a processor for a third-party controller, the third-party controller is the Controller and Customer authorizes Prescene to process accordingly). Prescene is the Processor.
For Personal Data that Prescene processes for its own purposes (e.g., billing data, account administrators' contact data, security logs, aggregate usage analytics), Prescene is the Controller. The processing of such data is governed by the Prescene Privacy Policy, not this DPA.
2.2 Customer Responsibilities
Customer represents and warrants that: (a) it has all rights, lawful bases, consents, notices, and authorizations required to provide Customer Data to Prescene and to instruct Prescene to process it as described herein; (b) its instructions to Prescene comply with Applicable Data Protection Law; (c) for any Customer Data that constitutes special categories of data (GDPR Article 9), sensitive data, or children's data, Customer has obtained any heightened consents or completed any heightened obligations required by Applicable Data Protection Law; (d) Customer Data does not include data that Customer is contractually or legally prohibited from disclosing to a Processor.
3. Processing Details
3.1 Subject Matter and Duration
The subject matter of processing is Prescene's provision of the Services to Customer. Processing continues for the duration of the Agreement and any post-termination period during which Prescene retains Customer Data as permitted herein.
3.2 Nature and Purpose
Prescene processes Customer Data to: host the Services; receive Inputs and generate Outputs (including via large language models); store, organize, retrieve, transmit, and display Customer Data within Customer's workspace; analyze Customer Data for the purpose of producing Outputs requested by Customer; provide support; secure the Services; and perform the obligations described in the Agreement and DPA.
3.3 Categories of Data Subjects
Customer Data may concern: Customer's authorized users (including writers, producers, executives, support staff); individuals whose Personal Data is incidentally included in Customer's uploaded Content (e.g., names of real persons appearing in screenplay drafts).
3.4 Categories of Personal Data
Customer Data may include: identifiers (name, email); professional information; user-generated Content uploaded by Customer's users (which may incidentally include any category of Personal Data depending on Customer's use); communication and support data; usage and audit logs.
Customer determines what Personal Data is included in its Content and is responsible for the legality of including such data.
4. Prescene's Obligations as Processor
4.1 Processing Only on Customer's Instructions
Prescene will process Customer Data only: (a) to provide the Services as described in the Agreement and this DPA; (b) on Customer's documented instructions, including the instructions embedded in Customer's use of the Services; (c) as required by applicable law, in which case Prescene will inform Customer of the requirement before processing, unless prohibited from doing so.
If Prescene believes Customer's instruction violates Applicable Data Protection Law, Prescene will notify Customer.
4.2 No Use for Other Purposes
Prescene will not:
- sell Customer Data;
- share Customer Data for cross-context behavioral advertising;
- use Customer Data to train or fine-tune any AI foundation model;
- combine Customer Data with personal data from any other source for purposes outside this DPA;
- retain or use Customer Data for any commercial purpose outside the direct provision of Services to Customer.
4.3 Confidentiality
Prescene ensures that personnel authorized to process Customer Data are bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations.
4.4 Security
Prescene implements and maintains appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect Customer Data against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, damage, alteration, or disclosure, as described in Annex II (Security Measures).
4.5 Data Subject Requests
Prescene will, taking into account the nature of processing, provide reasonable assistance to Customer in responding to Data Subject requests for access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, or objection. If Prescene receives a Data Subject request directly relating to Customer Data, Prescene will redirect the Data Subject to Customer and notify Customer.
4.6 Personal Data Breach Notification
Prescene will notify Customer without undue delay, and in any event within 72 hours, after becoming aware of a Personal Data breach affecting Customer Data. Notice will include, to the extent then known: the nature of the breach, categories and approximate volume of data affected, likely consequences, measures taken or proposed, and a contact for further information.
Prescene will provide reasonable cooperation to assist Customer in fulfilling its own breach-notification obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law.
A "Personal Data breach" does not include unsuccessful access attempts that do not result in unauthorized access (e.g., pings, port scans, denial-of-service attempts that fail).
4.7 DPIA Assistance
Where required by Applicable Data Protection Law, Prescene will provide reasonable assistance to Customer with data protection impact assessments and prior consultations with supervisory authorities.
4.8 Audits
Customer may verify Prescene's compliance with this DPA by: (a) reviewing the most recent SOC 2 Type 2 report or equivalent third-party audit report (when available); and (b) requesting additional information through written questionnaires (no more than once per 12-month period, except in case of a breach or regulator request).
If, after reviewing audit reports and questionnaire responses, Customer reasonably determines that further audit is necessary, Customer may request an on-site audit at Customer's expense, with reasonable advance notice (at least 30 days), at a mutually agreed time, conducted by an independent auditor reasonably acceptable to Prescene, subject to confidentiality obligations and limited to once per 12-month period (except in case of a breach or where required by a supervisory authority).
4.9 Return or Deletion of Customer Data
Upon termination of the Agreement, Prescene will, at Customer's option, return or delete Customer Data within 90 days, except as required to be retained by law. Backup copies will be purged within 90 days after termination. Aggregated and anonymized data may be retained.
5. Subprocessors
5.1 Authorization
Customer provides general written authorization for Prescene to engage Subprocessors, subject to this Section 5.
5.2 List
Prescene maintains a current list of Subprocessors at prescene.com/legal/subprocessors (the "Subprocessor List"). The list includes the name, function, and location of each Subprocessor.
5.3 Notice of Changes
Prescene will provide Customer with at least 30 days' advance notice of any addition or replacement of a Subprocessor that processes Customer Data, by email to Customer's designated contact and/or via posting on the Subprocessor List with notification opt-in.
5.4 Objection
Customer may object to a new Subprocessor on reasonable, data-protection-related grounds by emailing privacy@prescene.ai within 30 days of notice. The Parties will work in good faith to resolve. If unresolved, Customer may terminate the Agreement (limited to the affected Services) without penalty, prorated for unused subscription period.
5.5 Subprocessor Obligations
Prescene will impose, by written contract, data-protection obligations on each Subprocessor that are no less protective than those in this DPA. Prescene remains liable to Customer for the acts and omissions of its Subprocessors with respect to Customer Data.
6. International Transfers
6.1 Mechanism
To the extent processing under this DPA involves a Restricted Transfer of Customer Data:
(a) From the EEA to a third country: the Parties incorporate by reference the Standard Contractual Clauses (Module Two: Controller-to-Processor), with Prescene as the data importer and Customer as the data exporter. The optional clauses are deemed selected as set out in Annex I. The Parties agree:
- Clause 7 (Docking Clause): does not apply;
- Clause 9(a): Option 2 (general written authorization), with the time period set in Section 5.3 of this DPA;
- Clause 11(a) optional language: not included;
- Clause 17: governing law of Ireland;
- Clause 18(b): courts of Ireland.
(b) From the UK: the Parties incorporate by reference the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the SCCs (template addendum B.1.0).
(c) From Switzerland: the SCCs apply, modified as required by the Swiss FADP (references to GDPR also reference Swiss FADP; references to EU member states' supervisory authorities also include the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner).
The information required for the SCC Annexes is set out in Annex I (Description of Transfer) and Annex II (Security Measures).
6.2 Where Customer is Itself a Processor
Where Customer is itself a Processor for a third-party Controller, the Parties enter the SCCs at Module Three (Processor-to-Processor) by way of the same incorporation as above, with appropriate modifications to reflect roles.
6.3 Data Localization
Currently, Customer Data is processed on AWS infrastructure located in the United States. Customer acknowledges and consents to this transfer.
7. CCPA-Specific Terms
To the extent CCPA applies to processing of Customer Data:
- Prescene acts as a "service provider" or "contractor" as defined in CCPA.
- Prescene will not (a) sell Personal Data; (b) share Personal Data for cross-context behavioral advertising; (c) retain, use, or disclose Personal Data for any purpose other than the business purposes specified in the Agreement and this DPA, including not retaining, using, or disclosing it outside the direct business relationship; (d) combine Personal Data with personal information received from another source, except as permitted by CCPA.
- Prescene will notify Customer if it determines it can no longer meet its CCPA obligations and will permit Customer reasonable steps to stop and remediate unauthorized use.
8. Liability
Each Party's liability arising out of or in connection with this DPA is subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability set out in the Agreement. To the extent the SCCs are incorporated, the SCCs' liability provisions apply between the Parties only with respect to claims by Data Subjects or supervisory authorities under the SCCs; as between the Parties, the Agreement governs.
9. General
9.1 Order of Precedence
In case of conflict regarding data protection, this DPA controls over the Agreement. The SCCs (where incorporated) control over conflicting terms in this DPA.
9.2 Term
This DPA is effective from the Effective Date and remains in force for the duration of the Agreement and any post-termination retention period.
9.3 Modifications
Prescene may update this DPA from time to time, including to address regulatory changes. Prescene will provide reasonable notice of material updates. Updates that incorporate new SCC versions or required regulatory mechanisms take effect upon issuance of the relevant regulatory instrument.
9.4 Severability
If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
9.5 Governing Law (DPA)
Except for the SCCs (which are governed by their own terms), this DPA is governed by the law specified in the Agreement.
