Data Processing Addendum (USA)

Including CCPA / CPRA Requirements

NiamonX LTD

Last updated: 15 November 2025

This Data Processing Addendum – USA (the "DPA (USA)" or "Addendum") forms part of, and is subject to, the main agreement or terms of service (the "Agreement") between NiamonX LTD ("NiamonX", "Processor", "Service Provider" or "Contractor") and the customer identified in the Agreement ("Customer", "Business", "Controller" or "Client") (together, the "Parties").

This DPA (USA) is specifically intended to address requirements under:

  • US federal and state privacy and cybersecurity laws to the extent applicable;
  • the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (together, "CCPA/CPRA");
  • comparable state privacy laws that follow a similar "controller/processor" or "business/service provider" model, to the extent mutually agreed by the Parties.

In case of conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall prevail to the extent necessary to comply with applicable privacy laws.


1. Definitions

1.1. "Agreement" means the main contract, terms of use, subscription terms, order form, or other binding arrangement between NiamonX and Customer governing the provision and use of the NiamonX OSINT and cybersecurity platform and related services.

1.2. "Customer Personal Data" means any information that is processed by NiamonX on behalf of Customer and that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to an identified or identifiable consumer, household, or device, as defined under applicable US privacy laws (including CCPA/CPRA), in connection with Customer's use of the Services.

1.3. "Consumer" has the meaning given in CCPA/CPRA, and, where relevant, similar terms under other US state privacy laws (e.g., "resident", "individual").

1.4. "Controller" or "Business" means the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data or "Personal Information" under CCPA/CPRA. For purposes of this Addendum, Customer is the Business or Controller with respect to Customer Personal Data.

1.5. "Processor", "Service Provider" or "Contractor" means NiamonX to the extent it processes Customer Personal Data on behalf of Customer under the Agreement and in accordance with this Addendum.

1.6. "Processing", "Process" and related terms mean any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or Personal Information, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, deletion or destruction.

1.7. "Sell", "Selling", "Sale" and "Share" have the meanings given in CCPA/CPRA. For clarity, "Share" refers to cross‑context behavioural advertising under CPRA.

1.8. "Applicable US Privacy Laws" means CCPA/CPRA and, where agreed by the Parties, other US state privacy laws that are similar in nature (such as those in Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Utah, etc.), to the extent applicable to the Parties' activities.

1.9. "Services" means the NiamonX OSINT and cybersecurity platform and all related tools, products, features and support services provided by NiamonX to Customer under the Agreement, including but not limited to dashboard, OSINT tools, breach search, scanning tools, maps, AI services, integrations, and API access.

1.10. "Sub‑Processor" means any third party engaged by NiamonX that processes Customer Personal Data on behalf of Customer in connection with the provision of the Services.


2. Relationship of the Parties

2.1. Controller/Business and Processor/Service Provider Roles.

Those activities are governed by NiamonX's own privacy notices and are not subject to this Addendum.


3. Scope and Nature of Processing

3.1. Subject Matter.

3.2. Duration.

The duration of processing is the term of the Agreement and, if applicable, any post‑termination period during which NiamonX must retain Customer Personal Data for legitimate business or legal reasons, in accordance with Section 12 (Data Retention and Deletion).

3.3. Nature and Purpose.

The processing operations may include storage, encryption, transmission, indexing (where appropriate), security scanning, anonymisation, pseudonymisation, and technical analysis of Customer Personal Data to:

  • it has appropriate rights, permissions, and lawful bases to provide Customer Personal Data to NiamonX and to instruct NiamonX to process Customer Personal Data.

4.3. Objection to Unlawful Instructions.

If NiamonX reasonably believes that any instruction from Customer violates Applicable US Privacy Laws, NiamonX may:

  • notify Customer;
  • temporarily suspend the relevant processing;

To the extent CCPA/CPRA applies, NiamonX agrees that:

5.1. Use of Personal Information.

NiamonX shall not:

  • Sell or Share Customer Personal Data;

NiamonX does not use Customer Personal Data for cross‑context behavioural advertising and will not "Share" Customer Personal Data as defined in CPRA.

5.3. Combination of Personal Information.

NiamonX may not combine Customer Personal Data with personal information NiamonX receives from other sources except as permitted by CCPA/CPRA (for example, for security and fraud detection, or to improve the Services without inferring characteristics about Consumers in a way that violates CPRA).

5.4. Notification of Inability to Comply.

If NiamonX determines it can no longer meet its obligations as a Service Provider / Contractor under CCPA/CPRA, it shall:

  • notify Customer without undue delay; and
  • allow Customer to take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorised use of Customer Personal Data.

5.5. Assistance with Consumer Requests.

To the extent Customer is required to respond to a Consumer request to exercise their rights under CCPA/CPRA (e.g., right to know, delete, correct, opt‑out of sale/share):

  • NiamonX shall reasonably assist Customer by providing relevant technical or organisational measures, where technically feasible and not disproportionate;
  • NiamonX shall redirect Consumers who contact NiamonX directly back to Customer, where NiamonX can reasonably identify Customer as the relevant Business.

6. Confidentiality and Personnel

6.1. Confidentiality.

NiamonX shall ensure that persons authorised to process Customer Personal Data:

  • are bound by confidentiality obligations;
  • receive appropriate training regarding data protection and information security;
  • access Customer Personal Data strictly on a need‑to‑know basis.

6.2. Personnel Security.

NiamonX shall maintain policies and technical controls (including VPN, hardware security keys, role‑based access and monitoring by local AI security models) to reduce the risk of unauthorised access by its personnel to Customer Personal Data.


7. Security Measures

7.1. General Obligation.

NiamonX shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect Customer Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.

7.2. Multi‑Layer Security Architecture.

NiamonX operates a multi‑layer security model, including:

Secure Authentication & Identity via Zitadel IAM

AES‑256‑GCM, hashed passwords using bcrypt or Argon2id, mandatory 2FA where applicable, anomaly detection and isolation of suspicious sessions, access via corporate VPN and hardware keys.

Encrypted Data Processing & Storage

Application‑level encryption with AES‑256‑GCM, envelope encryption via KMS/HSM, Transparent Data Encryption at database layer, SHA‑256 hashing of API keys, zero‑log policy for query contents.

Personnel Access Control & AI Oversight

Logging and monitoring of staff actions, least‑privilege access, AI‑based anomaly detection, isolation of suspicious nodes/clusters.

Confidential Data & Breach Protection

Field‑level encryption with AES‑256‑GCM and unique IV/nonce, independent key management, regular rotation, Confidential Computing environments, strict segregation of cryptographic materials.

7.3. Zero‑Log Policy for Query Contents.

NiamonX does not store the contents of OSINT/tool queries (e.g. specific search parameters) on its servers. Such contents remain only on the Customer's side/device. This is intended to minimize the risk and exposure in case of security incidents.

7.4. Security Certifications.

To the extent NiamonX holds or may obtain third‑party audits, certifications, or reports relevant to the Services (e.g. security assessments), and where applicable, NiamonX may make summaries available to Customer upon written request and subject to confidentiality obligations.


8. Sub‑Processors

8.1. Authorised Sub‑Processors.

Customer authorises NiamonX to engage Sub‑Processors for the provision of the Services. Sub‑Processors may include, without limitation:

  • infrastructure and hosting providers;
  • payment processors (Stripe, NOWPayments, acting independently as controllers for payment data);
  • antivirus and security vendors;
  • OSINT and data suppliers, operators, and similar technical partners.

8.2. Sub‑Processor Obligations.

NiamonX shall enter into written agreements with Sub‑Processors containing data protection obligations that are at least as protective as those set out in this Addendum with respect to Customer Personal Data.

8.3. Responsibility.

NiamonX remains responsible for the performance of its Sub‑Processors' obligations concerning Customer Personal Data, except where Applicable US Privacy Laws expressly provide otherwise (e.g. payment providers acting as independent controllers under their own privacy policies).

8.4. Updates to Sub‑Processors.

Where required by Applicable US Privacy Laws or by the Agreement, NiamonX may provide Customer with a mechanism (e.g. online list) describing key Sub‑Processors. Customer may raise reasonable and specific objections to a new Sub‑Processor on data protection grounds within a defined period (if provided in the Agreement). If the Parties cannot resolve such objections, either Party may exercise applicable termination rights concerning the relevant Services.


9. Consumer Requests and Cooperation

9.1. Consumer Requests Directed to NiamonX.

If a Consumer submits a request to NiamonX to exercise rights related to Customer Personal Data and NiamonX can reasonably identify Customer as the Business controlling that data:

  • NiamonX shall direct the Consumer to contact Customer directly;
  • NiamonX shall not respond to the request on Customer's behalf unless legally obligated or instructed by Customer.

9.2. Assistance to Customer.

NiamonX shall provide reasonable assistance at Customer's cost (if applicable under the Agreement) in responding to Consumer requests, including:

  • access, deletion, correction, or opt‑out requests;
  • subject to technical feasibility and proportionality, and only to the extent NiamonX is involved in processing the relevant Customer Personal Data.

10. Security Incidents and Breach Notification

To the extent required by Applicable US Privacy Laws (including CCPA/CPRA), Customer has the right to:

  • take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that NiamonX uses Customer Personal Data in a manner consistent with the Customer's obligations as a Business;
  • conduct or commission audits or assessments, subject to the limitations set forth below.

11.2. Conditions for Audits.

Any audit must:

  • be requested with reasonable prior written notice (at least 30 days, unless shorter notice is required by law or in case of a Security Incident);
  • be conducted during regular business hours in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with NiamonX's operations;
  • respect any confidentiality obligations owed to third parties;
  • be limited in scope and frequency as reasonably necessary to verify compliance with this Addendum.

11.3. Use of Existing Reports.

Where NiamonX has existing independent third‑party audit reports, certifications, or assessments relevant to the Services, NiamonX may make such reports available to Customer as primary evidence of compliance. On‑site audits will be allowed only if necessary and not otherwise satisfied by such documentation.

Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, or upon Customer's legitimate written request:

  • NiamonX shall delete or return Customer Personal Data in accordance with the technical capabilities of the platform and the terms of the Agreement;
  • If Customer requests deletion, NiamonX may irreversibly destroy applicable cryptographic keys, rendering encrypted data unreadable and unrecoverable.

12.3. Residual Data.

NiamonX may retain minimal backup copies, logs and records to the extent required by law, for security reasons, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, subject to ongoing confidentiality and security obligations.


13. Payment Processors and Third‑Party Providers

13.1. Stripe (Card Payments).

Card payments are processed by Stripe, which acts as an independent controller for the processing of payment card data. NiamonX does not receive full card numbers or sensitive authentication data. Stripe's processing is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

13.2. NOWPayments (Cryptocurrency Payments).

Cryptocurrency payments are processed by NOWPayments, which acts as an independent controller with its own privacy policy: NOWPayments Privacy Policy. NiamonX does not receive private crypto keys.

13.3. Anonymised or Pseudonymised Data to Security Vendors and Operators.

Where necessary to perform a requested check (for example, URL/file/hash/domain/IP scanning or OSINT lookups), NiamonX may share data with third‑party antivirus companies, operators, or OSINT data suppliers in anonymised or pseudonymised form, avoiding direct disclosure of identifiable Customer Personal Data where feasible.


14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

14.1. Governing Law.

To the extent this Addendum addresses compliance with US privacy law, it shall be interpreted in light of such laws (including CCPA/CPRA). In all other respects, the governing law and jurisdiction clauses of the Agreement shall apply.
