23. EU/EEA Data Subjects — GDPR-Specific Provisions
23.1 Applicability. This Section 23 applies whenever ZapSign processes Personal Data of data subjects located in the European Union or the European Economic Area in connection with (a) the offering of goods or services to such data subjects or (b) the monitoring of their behaviour, as set out in article 3(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the "GDPR"). To that extent, the GDPR governs the processing and shall be read together with this Privacy Policy. Where this Section 23 conflicts with any other provision of this Privacy Policy as it applies to EU/EEA data subjects, this Section 23 shall prevail.
23.2 Roles. For Personal Data of end signers and other third parties uploaded or submitted by Users in the course of using the ZapSign Platform, the User acts as data controller and ZapSign acts as data processor within the meaning of article 28 GDPR. For Personal Data processed in connection with the User's own account, billing, support, fraud prevention, and other administrative purposes, ZapSign acts as data controller.
23.3 Identity of the controller. The data controller for ZapSign-controlled processing is TRUORA S.A.S, identified in Section 1.1 of this Policy. The contact details for data protection matters are set out in Section 18 of this Policy.
23.4 Legal bases (article 6 GDPR). ZapSign relies on one or more of the following legal bases for the processing of Personal Data of EU/EEA data subjects, depending on the purpose: (a) performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (article 6(1)(b) GDPR) — for account creation and management, provision of the electronic signature service, identity verification when activated by the User, billing, support, and any other processing strictly necessary to perform the contract; (b) compliance with a legal obligation (article 6(1)(c) GDPR) — for record-keeping, tax obligations, AML/CTF checks where applicable, retention of electronic signature evidence required by applicable law, and response to lawful requests from competent authorities; (c) legitimate interests (article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — for fraud prevention, information security, integrity and non-repudiation of electronic signatures, defence against legal claims, and analytics in aggregated or anonymised form; and (d) consent (article 6(1)(a) GDPR) — for marketing communications, non-essential cookies and similar technologies, and any other processing not covered by the legal bases above. Consent may be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
23.5 Special categories of data (article 9 GDPR). Where ZapSign processes biometric data, in particular facial biometric data, for the purpose of uniquely identifying a data subject in the context of identity verification or the Truora Pass service, processing is based on the data subject's explicit consent (article 9(2)(a) GDPR). Where biometric data is processed without the purpose of unique identification (for example, automated technical quality checks), no special category applies, but the relevant legal basis under article 6 GDPR remains in place.
23.6 Privacy contact point and EU Representative. ZapSign maintains a dedicated privacy contact point, available at privacy@truora.com and as set out in Section 18 of this Privacy Policy, to receive queries and requests from data subjects and competent authorities concerning the processing of Personal Data of EU/EEA data subjects. To the extent that ZapSign becomes required to designate a representative in the Union pursuant to article 27 GDPR, such designation will be made and communicated through this Policy. Pending any such designation, all GDPR-related inquiries may be directed to the privacy contact point identified above.
23.7 Data subject rights (articles 15–22 GDPR). EU/EEA data subjects have the following rights in respect of Personal Data processed by ZapSign, exercisable free of charge: (a) right of access (article 15); (b) right to rectification (article 16); (c) right to erasure (article 17), subject to the grounds and exceptions set out in the GDPR, including legal retention obligations for electronic signature evidence; (d) right to restriction of processing (article 18); (e) right to data portability (article 20) for data provided on the basis of consent or contract; (f) right to object (article 21), in particular at any time to processing for direct marketing; (g) right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects (article 22) — ZapSign does not take such decisions in respect of EU/EEA data subjects, and any fraud-prevention scoring is subject to human review where it materially affects the data subject; and (h) right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. Requests may be addressed to the privacy contact point at privacy@truora.com. ZapSign shall respond without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt, subject to extensions permitted under article 12(3) GDPR.
23.8 Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (article 77 GDPR). Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, EU/EEA data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. A list of supervisory authorities is available at https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/about-edpb/members_en.
23.9 International transfers (Chapter V GDPR). Personal Data of EU/EEA data subjects processed by ZapSign may be transferred to, and stored in, countries outside the European Economic Area, including Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and the United States. Where such transfers take place, they shall be carried out on the basis of appropriate safeguards under Chapter V GDPR, in particular, where applicable, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses approved by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 (Modules 2 or 3, as relevant), supported, where required, by a Transfer Impact Assessment for the country of destination and by supplementary technical, organisational and contractual measures. Information on the safeguards applied to a specific transfer may be requested at privacy@truora.com.
23.10 Retention. Personal Data of EU/EEA data subjects is retained for the time necessary to achieve the purposes set out in this Policy, in accordance with the criteria set out in Section 13.1. As a general guide: account data is retained for the duration of the contractual relationship plus the applicable statutory limitation period; electronic signature evidence is retained for the duration required by applicable law to preserve the legal validity of the signed document; biometric data used for identity verification is retained only for the time strictly necessary to complete the verification, or, in the case of the Truora Pass service, for the active life of the account; marketing data is retained until withdrawal of consent. Specific retention schedules may be requested at privacy@truora.com.
23.11 Security incident notification (articles 33–34 GDPR). In the event of a personal data breach affecting EU/EEA data subjects, ZapSign shall notify the competent supervisory authority without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than seventy-two (72) hours after having become aware of the breach, unless the breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to such rights and freedoms, ZapSign shall also communicate the breach to the affected data subjects without undue delay, in accordance with article 34 GDPR.
23.12 Children (article 8 GDPR). ZapSign's services are not intended for individuals under sixteen (16) years of age in the EU/EEA. Where information society services are offered directly to a child in the EU/EEA, processing based on consent shall comply with article 8 GDPR and, where applicable, with the higher age of consent set by the relevant Member State.
