  • Process only on documented instructions: Process personal data only in accordance with the Controller's documented instructions, including those set out in this DPA and the Service Agreement, unless required otherwise by law.
  • Ensure confidentiality: Ensure that persons authorized to process personal data are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.

7. Subprocessors

The Customer authorizes SecondBrainCore to engage the subprocessors listed on the Subprocessors Page . This list will be updated when new subprocessors are added.

SecondBrainCore will notify Business and Enterprise customers at least 30 days before adding new subprocessors. Customers may register written, reasoned objections within that period. If SecondBrainCore cannot accommodate the objection, the Customer may terminate the Service Agreement without penalty.

SecondBrainCore is liable to the Controller for the performance of data protection obligations by its subprocessors to the same extent as it would be liable if it carried out the processing directly.

8. Security Measures

SecondBrainCore implements the following technical and organizational measures to protect personal data:

  • Encryption: Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) for all communications and encryption at rest in Cloudflare D1 for all stored data.
  • Access controls: Role-based access control (RBAC) with SSO enforcement via Cloudflare Access Zero Trust for all administrative and platform users.
  • Audit logging: Comprehensive audit logging of all data access and modifications, retained for 7 years in accordance with regulatory requirements.
  • Incident response: Documented incident response procedures with escalation paths, including 72-hour breach notification protocol as per Section 9.
  • Network protection: Web Application Firewall (WAF) and bot protection managed by Cloudflare across all Service infrastructure.
  • Tenant isolation: Strict data isolation between tenants ensures that one customer's data is never accessible to another.

9. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that may result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, SecondBrainCore will notify the Controller without undue delay and, where feasible, within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by the LGPD (Art. 48) and GDPR (Art. 33).

The notification will include, to the extent available: (a) the nature of the personal data breach; (b) the categories and approximate number of data subjects affected; (c) the likely consequences of the breach; (d) the measures taken or proposed to address the breach and mitigate its possible effects.

  • Return to the Controller all personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (JSON or CSV); or
  • Securely delete all personal data from SecondBrainCore's systems and those of its subprocessors.

SecondBrainCore will confirm deletion in writing within 30 days. Audit logs that SecondBrainCore is required by law to retain will be preserved according to legal retention periods, even after termination.

11. Liability

Each party is liable to data subjects and regulatory authorities for violations of the LGPD/GDPR arising from its respective obligations under this DPA.

SecondBrainCore will indemnify the Controller for damages caused by LGPD/GDPR violations directly resulting from SecondBrainCore's failure to comply with its obligations under this DPA. Such indemnification is subject to the liability limitations set out in the Service Agreement.

The Controller will indemnify SecondBrainCore for damages caused by LGPD/GDPR violations directly resulting from the Controller's failure to comply with its obligations under this DPA or the Service Agreement.
