3. The data processing activities subject to this Policy and responsibilities
To provide you with our Platform and Services, we need to process the Personal Data. This is why we implement data processing activities, which can be performed by us as being a data processor of our users or as an independent data controller, depending on which data processing activity is considered
As a data processor of our Users, here are the data processing activities that are implemented by us on their behalf :
- We store and host the Personal Data contained in the content generated by users of our Services and Platform;
- We collaborate with our users when they ask us to do so and if we can when a Personal Data subject exercised one of his or her individual rights.
On our sole responsibility of data controller we only :
- Handle the login and authentication credentials of our users;
- Perform a technical monitoring of the infrastructure;
- Analyze habits of the way our products is used by users;
- Perform audience and usage monitoring of the Platform using Plausible.io services;
- Handle the users' rights request related to Personal Data protection (CCPA, GDPR and Canadian individual rights);
- Send emails to our users;
- Send messages to our Website’s chat users; and manage the Users’ accounts creation.
Please note that the Personal Data that can be processed by users using our Services and Platform are sole data controllers of the processing they decide to perform via our Services and Platform.
Thus, in case Personal Data subjects are not users, please note that the responsibility of being the data controllers of the data processing performed using our Platform and Services is assumed by our users who process the Personal Data of these data subjects. We propose to our Users, acting as data controllers, to agree to our Data Protection Addendum that is publicly available here : www.iterationx.com/dpa-scc
This Data Protection Addendum provides the statements ruling the relations between us and our users using our Services and Platform to perform such data processing activities.
As part of our commitment to your privacy, we process your data for various lawful reasons:
Contractual Obligations: We process your data to:
- Give account access;
- Handle customer relations;
- Manage orders and deliver products/services; and
- Offer customer support.
Legitimate Interests: We process your data to:
- Enhance and personalize your experience;
- Monitor and boost our service quality;
- Conduct internal functions and research;
- Uphold terms of use and address legal concerns.
Consent: We may seek your consent to:

If you reach out to us (e.g., for support), we may share your request to aid our response or assist others, but your personal details will always remain private.
4. Authorized Sub-Processors
1- Customer acknowledges and agrees that Iteration X may:
(i) engage its affiliates and the Authorized Sub-Processors on the List (defined below) to access and process Personal Data in connection with the Services and
(ii) from time to time engage additional third parties for the purpose of providing the Services, including without limitation the processing of Personal Data. By way of this Addendum, Customer provides general written authorization to Iteration X to engage sub-processors as necessary to perform the Services.
2- A list of Iteration X’s current Authorized Sub-Processors will be made available to Customer at Data Processors. Such List may be updated by Iteration X from time to time. Iteration X will notify by email Customer of new Authorized Sub-Processors and Customer. At least ten (10) days before enabling any third party other than existing Authorized Sub-Processors to access or participate in the processing of Personal Data, Iteration X will add such third party to the List and notify subscribers, including Customer, via the aforementioned notifications. Customer may object to such an engagement by informing Iteration X in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of the aforementioned notice by Customer, provided such objection is in writing and based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. Customer acknowledges that certain sub-processors are essential to providing the Services and that objecting to the use of a sub-processor may prevent Iteration X from offering the Services to Customer.
3- If Customer reasonably objects to an engagement in accordance with Section 4.2, and Iteration X cannot provide a commercially reasonable alternative within a reasonable period of time, Customer may discontinue the use of the affected Service by providing written notice to Iteration X. Discontinuation shall not relieve Customer of any fees owed to Iteration X under the Terms of Service.
4- If Customer does not object to the engagement of a third party in accordance with Section 4.2 within ten (10) days of notice by Iteration X, that third party will be deemed an Authorized Sub-Processor for the purposes of this Addendum.
5- Iteration X will enter into a written agreement with the Authorized Sub-Processor imposing on the Authorized Sub-Processor data protection obligations comparable to those imposed on Iteration X under this Addendum with respect to the protection of Personal Data. In case an Authorized Sub-Processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement with Iteration X, Iteration X will remain liable to Customer for the performance of the Authorized Sub-Processor’s obligations under such agreement.
6- If Customer and Iteration X have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6 (Transfers of Personal Data), (i) the above authorizations will constitute Customer’s prior written consent to the subcontracting by Iteration X of the processing of Personal Data if such consent is required under the Standard Contractual Clauses, and (ii) the parties agree that the copies of the agreements with Authorized Sub-Processors that must be provided by Iteration X to Customer pursuant to Clause 9(c) of the EU SCCs may have commercial information, or information unrelated to the Standard Contractual Clauses or their equivalent, removed by the Iteration X beforehand, and that such copies will be provided by the Iteration X only upon request by Customer.
