Data Processing Addendum

Effective June 21, 2026

Previous Versions

This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") forms part of and supplements the Terms of Service or Master Service Agreement (the "Agreement") between Elnora AI, Inc. or Elnora AI OÜ (collectively, "Elnora," "we," or "us") and the customer entity ("Customer," "you," or "your") governing Customer's use of the Elnora platform and services. This DPA applies to Elnora's processing of Customer Personal Data.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this DPA have the meanings set forth in the Agreement. If there is any conflict between the terms of this DPA and the Agreement, the terms of this DPA shall govern with respect to data protection matters.


1. Definitions

"Applicable Data Protection Laws" means all applicable privacy, data protection, and data security laws and regulations, including, where applicable: (i) the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"); (ii) the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 ("UK GDPR"); (iii) the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection ("FADP"); (iv) the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA"); and (v) any other applicable data protection laws.

"Controller" means the natural or legal person that determines the purposes and means of the processing of Personal Data. For purposes of the CCPA, "Controller" includes "business" as defined therein.

"Customer Data" means all data, content, materials, and information that Customer or Authorized Users upload, submit, or otherwise provide to the Platform.

"Customer Personal Data" means Personal Data contained within Customer Data that Elnora processes as a Processor on behalf of Customer.

"Data Subject" means an identified or identifiable natural person to whom Personal Data relates.

"Data Subject Request" means a request from a Data Subject to exercise their rights under Applicable Data Protection Laws.

"EEA" means the European Economic Area.

"Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, as defined under Applicable Data Protection Laws.

"Personal Data Breach" means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Customer Personal Data. Where an event also constitutes a security incident, the same event may trigger more than one notification obligation; each applicable notification clock under §9 runs independently for its respective audience, and meeting one notification obligation does not waive the others.

"Processing" (and "Process") means any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, recording, organization, storage, adaptation, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, alignment, combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

"Processor" means a natural or legal person that processes Personal Data on behalf of a Controller. For purposes of the CCPA, "Processor" includes "service provider" as defined therein.

"SCCs" means the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021.

"Subprocessor" means a third party engaged by Elnora to Process Customer Personal Data.

"UK Addendum" means the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the UK Information Commissioner.


2. Scope and Roles

2.1 Roles of the Parties

With respect to Customer Personal Data:

  • Customer is the Controller (or acts as a Processor on behalf of a third-party Controller); and
  • Elnora is the Processor (or sub-Processor, as applicable) acting on Customer's behalf.

Each party will comply with its respective obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws.

2.2 Customer Responsibilities

Customer is responsible for:

(a) Ensuring it has all necessary rights, consents, and legal bases to provide Customer Personal Data to Elnora for Processing;

(b) Ensuring that Customer's instructions to Elnora comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws;

(c) Determining whether Elnora's security measures are appropriate for Customer's use case; and

(d) Responding to Data Subject Requests received directly from Data Subjects.

2.3 Processing Instructions

Elnora will Process Customer Personal Data only:

(a) To provide the Platform and services under the Agreement;

(b) In accordance with Customer's documented instructions as set forth in this DPA and the Agreement;

(c) As required by applicable law (in which case Elnora will inform Customer of such requirement, unless prohibited by law); and

(d) As otherwise agreed in writing between the parties.

If Elnora believes an instruction from Customer violates Applicable Data Protection Laws, Elnora will promptly inform Customer and may suspend Processing until the parties resolve the issue.

2.4 Confidentiality of Authorized Persons

Elnora will ensure that all persons authorized to Process Customer Personal Data are subject to a binding obligation of confidentiality with respect to such data, whether by contract or applicable statutory obligation, and that such obligation survives termination of the individual's engagement with Elnora. Elnora will not permit any person who has not undertaken such a confidentiality obligation to Process Customer Personal Data.


3. Processing Details

3.1 Subject Matter and Purpose

The subject matter of the Processing is Customer's use of the Elnora Platform for AI-powered biomedical protocol generation and optimization. The purpose is to provide the services described in the Agreement.

3.2 Duration

Processing continues for the duration of the Agreement, plus any post-termination retention period required for data return or deletion.

3.3 Categories of Data Subjects

Data Subjects may include:

  • Customer's employees and contractors
  • Customer's authorized users
  • Researchers and scientists
  • Any individuals whose Personal Data is included in Customer Data

3.4 Categories of Personal Data

Categories may include:

  • Contact information (name, email, phone)
  • Account credentials and authentication data
  • User activity and usage logs
  • IP addresses and device identifiers
  • Any Personal Data included in protocols, experimental data, or research materials submitted by Customer

3.5 Sensitive Data

Customer represents and warrants that Customer Personal Data does not include, and Customer will not submit to the Platform, any:

(a) Protected health information (PHI) subject to HIPAA without a separate Business Associate Agreement;

(b) Genetic or genomic data of identifiable individuals without documented informed consent;

(c) Financial account credentials or payment card data subject to PCI-DSS;

(d) Government-issued identification numbers (e.g., Social Security numbers);

(e) Special categories of data under GDPR Article 9 (racial/ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, health data, sex life, sexual orientation, biometric data for identification), unless Customer has obtained explicit consent and has a lawful basis.


4. CCPA Compliance

Where the CCPA applies, Elnora certifies that it:

(a) Will not "sell" or "share" Customer Personal Data as those terms are defined under the CCPA;

(b) Will not use or disclose Customer Personal Data for "cross-context behavioral advertising" as defined under the CCPA;

(c) Will not retain, use, or disclose Customer Personal Data for any purpose other than providing the services under the Agreement, or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA;

(d) Will not retain, use, or disclose Customer Personal Data outside of the direct business relationship with Customer;

(e) Will not combine Customer Personal Data with Personal Data received from other sources, except as permitted by Applicable Data Protection Laws; and

(f) Will comply with all applicable CCPA requirements for service providers and, where applicable, contractors.


5. AI Subprocessor Processing

5.1 No Training on Customer Data

Elnora does not use Customer Data to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop the training datasets of any artificial intelligence or machine learning models. Elnora does not develop its own models; it uses existing foundation models provided by third-party AI providers, which are contractually prohibited from using Customer Data for model training. Elnora will not use Customer Data to train, fine-tune, or develop the training datasets of models unless Customer gives explicit written consent in an executed amendment to the Agreement.

A list of subprocessors, including AI providers, is available at trust.elnora.ai/subprocessors.

5.2 Inference-Time Processing

Customer Data submitted to AI subprocessors is transmitted only for the purpose of generating the requested output and is processed under each AI subprocessor's standard commercial data-processing terms (listed in Schedule 3), which prohibit the use of Customer Data for model training. Under those terms, the subprocessor's default abuse-monitoring retention applies to prompt and completion content (typically up to thirty (30) days, and longer only for content the subprocessor flags as a suspected policy violation or where retention is required by law), with no use of Customer Data for model training in any case. Where a subprocessor offers Zero Data Retention ("ZDR"), which suppresses persistent storage of prompt and completion content, Elnora may enable it for a specific engagement on request; Elnora does not rely on ZDR as a baseline control.

Structured inference metadata (request IDs, latency, token counts, error codes) is retained by Elnora for thirty (30) days for operational monitoring. This operational metadata is not Customer Personal Data for purposes of this DPA and is not subject to the no-training commitment in §5.1, which addresses training-dataset inclusion only. Separately, the AI subprocessor may perform in-memory abuse screening and may retain prompt and completion content for its standard abuse-monitoring period as described above; neither involves the use of Customer Data for model training.


6. Security Measures

6.1 Technical and Organizational Measures

Elnora implements and maintains technical and organizational security measures designed to protect Customer Personal Data, as described in Schedule 1 (Technical and Organizational Measures). These measures include:

(a) Encryption at Rest: AES-256 encryption for all stored Customer Data;

(b) Encryption in Transit: TLS 1.2 or higher for all data transmission;

(c) Access Controls: Role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and principle of least privilege;

(d) Data Separation: Logical separation of Customer Data between customers;

(e) Security Monitoring: Continuous monitoring, logging, and incident detection;

(f) Personnel Security: Background checks, confidentiality agreements, and security training for all personnel with access to Customer Data.

6.2 Security Program

Elnora holds an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation. Current certification status and security documentation are available at trust.elnora.ai. Audit reports are available on request under standard confidentiality terms.

6.3 Updates to Security Measures

Elnora may update security measures from time to time, provided that updates do not materially reduce the overall security of Customer Personal Data.


7. Subprocessors

7.1 Authorization

Customer grants Elnora general written authorization to engage Subprocessors to Process Customer Personal Data as necessary to provide the services.

7.2 Subprocessor Obligations

Elnora will:

(a) Enter into written agreements with each Subprocessor imposing data protection obligations no less protective than those in this DPA;

(b) Require Subprocessors to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures;

(c) Prohibit Subprocessors from Processing Customer Personal Data for any purpose other than providing services to Elnora;

(d) Require each Subprocessor, on termination of its services, to delete Customer Personal Data — including backup copies — on the same basis and within the same time frame set out in Section 12.2; and

(e) Remain responsible for its Subprocessors' compliance with the data protection obligations in this DPA, as required by Article 28(4) of the GDPR. Elnora's liability for the acts and omissions of its Subprocessors is subject to the limitations and aggregate cap on liability in Section 13 of this DPA and in the Agreement.

7.3 List of Subprocessors

A current list of Subprocessors is available at trust.elnora.ai/subprocessors.

7.4 Notification of Changes

Elnora will provide at least thirty (30) days' notice before engaging a new Subprocessor that will Process Customer Personal Data. Customer may subscribe to notifications at trust.elnora.ai.

7.5 Objection to New Subprocessors

Customer may object to a new Subprocessor by providing written notice to privacy@elnora.ai within thirty (30) days of receiving notification, stating reasonable data protection grounds for the objection. If Customer objects:

(a) The parties will work in good faith to find a mutually acceptable resolution;

(b) If no resolution is reached within thirty (30) days, Customer may terminate the affected services by providing written notice; and

(c) Such termination will not relieve Customer of fees owed for services rendered prior to termination; and

(d) Where Customer terminates an affected service under this §7.5, Elnora will refund any prepaid fees covering the portion of the subscription term after the effective date of termination for that service.

If Customer does not object within the thirty (30) day period, Customer is deemed to have accepted the new Subprocessor.


8. Data Subject Rights

8.1 Customer Responsibility

Customer is responsible for responding to Data Subject Requests. Elnora provides self-service functionality within the Platform to assist Customer in fulfilling such requests.

8.2 Elnora Assistance

Upon Customer's written request, and taking into account the nature of the Processing, Elnora will provide reasonable assistance to enable Customer to respond to Data Subject Requests within five (5) business days of receiving Customer's written request, to the extent Customer cannot fulfill such requests independently through the Platform. Elnora's assistance obligation is limited to the Processing Elnora performs on Customer's behalf and does not extend to data held or controlled solely by Customer.

11.5 Alternative Transfer Mechanisms

If a transfer mechanism is invalidated, Elnora will work with Customer to implement an alternative lawful transfer mechanism.

11.6 Transfer Impact Assessment

Elnora maintains a Transfer Impact Assessment ("TIA") covering personal data transfers from the EEA, UK, and Switzerland to the United States, prepared in accordance with EDPB Recommendations 01/2020 and the UK ICO Transfer Risk Assessment tool. The TIA is classified Confidential and is available to Customer upon written request to privacy@elnora.ai. Elnora will re-issue the TIA upon any material change to US surveillance law, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, its UK Extension, or the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework, or Elnora's sub-processor footprint, and at minimum on an annual review cycle.

11.7 Public Authority Access

Elnora's representations and disclosures regarding access by US and other public authorities (including the laws to which Elnora is subject, applicable mitigations, and the absence of any pending or threatened data-protection regulatory investigation) are set out in Elnora's Public Authority Access Disclosure, incorporated by reference. Elnora will notify Customer of any government access request affecting Customer Personal Data within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt where legally permitted, will challenge over-broad requests, and will disclose only the minimum strictly required.


12. Data Retention and Deletion

12.1 Retention During Agreement

Elnora retains Customer Personal Data for the duration of the Agreement as necessary to provide the services. Customer may, at any time during the Agreement, issue a written instruction to Elnora to delete a specific dataset or category of Customer Personal Data. Elnora will carry out such mid-term deletion within thirty (30) days of receiving the instruction, subject to any retention period required by applicable law, and will confirm completion in writing upon request. Deletion under this clause does not affect Customer's obligations to pay fees for services rendered.

12.2 Post-Termination

Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, and unless Customer instructs otherwise in writing:

(a) Elnora will permanently delete all Customer Data — including Customer Personal Data and any records Elnora has derived from Customer Data — within thirty (30) days of the termination or expiration date, except where, and only for as long as, retention is required by applicable law or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims;

(b) Deletion under (a) includes all backup copies. Elnora will not retain Customer Data in backups beyond the thirty (30) day period unless a longer period is required by applicable law or is expressly approved by Customer in writing;

(c) Customer may export Customer Data through the Platform's self-service export functionality at any time during the Agreement and during the thirty (30) day period following termination or expiration. Any hands-on transition assistance is provided as set out in the Agreement; and

(d) Following deletion, Elnora and its Subprocessors will cease all use of Customer Data. Elnora will ensure that its Subprocessors delete Customer Data, including backup copies, on the same basis and within the same thirty (30) day period.

12.3 Deletion Certification

Upon Customer's written request, Elnora will provide written confirmation that Customer Personal Data has been deleted in accordance with this Section 12.


13. Liability

Each party's aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this DPA is capped at two (2) times the total fees paid or payable by Customer to Elnora under the Agreement in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, subject to a maximum cap of one million U.S. dollars (USD 1,000,000). This cap operates as a super-cap above the general liability cap in the Agreement for claims arising out of this DPA, and the two caps are not cumulative. Where fees under the Agreement are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the USD 1,000,000 ceiling will be applied using the equivalent amount in the Agreement's billing currency, converted at the European Central Bank reference rate in effect on the date the event giving rise to the claim occurred.

Nothing in this DPA limits either party's liability for:

(a) Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

(b) Death or personal injury caused by negligence;

(c) Wilful misconduct; or

(d) Any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability under Article 82 of the GDPR or equivalent statutory non-excludable liability under UK GDPR or other Applicable Data Protection Laws; or

(e) Customer's indemnification obligations under the Agreement and Customer's breach of its representations and warranties in §2.2 and §3.5 of this DPA, which remain subject to the limitations of liability in the Agreement and are not reduced by the cap in this Section 13.


14. General

14.1 Order of Precedence

In the event of conflict, the following order of precedence applies: (1) the SCCs (if applicable); (2) this DPA; (3) the Agreement.

14.2 Amendments

Elnora may propose updates to this DPA from time to time to reflect changes in Applicable Data Protection Laws or Elnora's operations. Elnora will provide Customer at least thirty (30) days' written notice of any material change. If Customer reasonably objects to a material change on data-protection grounds within that period, the parties will work in good faith toward a resolution; absent resolution, Customer may terminate the affected services on written notice. No amendment to the SCCs, the UK Addendum, or their Annexes will take effect except as agreed in writing by both parties or as automatically updated by operation of the relevant approved transfer mechanism. Non-material and legally required changes take effect on the notice date.

Schedule 3: List of Subprocessors (SCC Annex III)

This Schedule constitutes Annex III to the Standard Contractual Clauses (Module Two and Module Three) approved by the European Commission in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021, listing the sub-processors authorised by the data importer.

The authoritative and current list of Elnora's Subprocessors is maintained at trust.elnora.ai/subprocessors. Schedule 3 names the Subprocessors engaged in Customer Personal Data processing as of the effective date of this DPA; customers should refer to the Trust Center for the live list and subscribe there to receive advance notifications of changes pursuant to §7.4.

Primary Subprocessors include:

SubprocessorPurposeLocation
Amazon Web Services (AWS)Cloud infrastructure — hosting, compute, storageUnited States
Cloudflare, Inc. ‡AI gateway and request routing for LLM and embedding API callsUnited States
AnthropicLLM inference (Claude models)United States
Microsoft Azure (OpenAI)LLM inference (OpenAI models, hosted on Azure)United States
Google Cloud Platform / GeminiLLM inference (Gemini models)United States
GreenflashObservability — traces, logs, prompts, and outputsUnited States
Perplexity AISearch API — web-grounded retrievalUnited States
TavilySearch API — web and literature retrievalUnited States
ExaSearch API — semantic search and retrievalUnited States
ValyuSearch API — knowledge retrievalUnited States
Firecrawl (SideGuide Technologies, Inc.)Web scraping, crawling, and extractionUnited States
StripePayment processingUnited States
E2B (FoundryLabs, Inc.) †Secure cloud sandbox for executing AI-generated code during agent tasksUnited States

All Subprocessors are bound by data processing agreements requiring equivalent data protection standards to this DPA, and are prohibited from using Customer Data for model training. The search, retrieval, and web-extraction providers (Perplexity, Tavily, Exa, Valyu, and Firecrawl) receive only the inputs the agent composes — search queries and, for web extraction, public URLs and extraction prompts — and not Customer files, datasets, or Outputs.

‡ Cloudflare, Inc. operates the AI Gateway through which Elnora routes LLM and embedding API calls; in that role it receives request-routing metadata. Cloudflare is engaged under a data processing agreement incorporating the EU SCCs and is already published on the Trust Center subprocessor list; it is reflected here to bring Schedule 3 into line with that list.

† E2B (FoundryLabs, Inc.) was added by 30-day advance notice posted on the Trust Center and becomes an active Subprocessor effective 16 July 2026; it does not Process Customer Personal Data before that date. Customers may exercise the objection right under §§7.4–7.5 during the notice period.
