Data Processing Agreement
This Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") forms part of the agreement between you ("Controller") and 3NV OÜ ("Processor", "3NV") for the use of 3NV infrastructure services. It is entered into pursuant to Article 28 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679).
By using 3NV services to process personal data, you agree to the terms of this DPA.
1. Definitions
"GDPR" means Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016.
"Personal Data", "Data Subject", "Processing", "Controller", and "Processor" have the meanings given in Article 4 of the GDPR.
"Services" means the cloud and bare-metal infrastructure services provided by 3NV under your subscription agreement.
"Sub-processor" means any third party engaged by 3NV to process Personal Data on your behalf.
2. Roles
You are the Data Controller — you determine the purposes and means of processing. 3NV is the Data Processor — we process Personal Data solely on your instructions, as provided through your use of the Services.
3. Details of Processing
| Subject matter | Provision of cloud and bare-metal infrastructure services |
| Duration | For the term of your active subscription |
| Nature | Storage, hosting, and transmission of data on 3NV infrastructure |
| Purpose | To deliver the Services as described in your subscription |
| Categories of data | As determined and controlled by you |
| Data subjects | As determined by you — may include your employees, customers, or end users |
3NV does not access, inspect, or use your data for any purpose other than operating the infrastructure as instructed.
4. Processor Obligations
3NV commits to the following obligations as your Data Processor:
4.1 Instructions
We will process Personal Data only on your documented instructions. If we believe an instruction violates GDPR or applicable law, we will inform you promptly.
4.2 Confidentiality
All personnel authorised to process Personal Data are bound by confidentiality obligations. Access to customer data is restricted to personnel who require it to operate and support the infrastructure.
4.3 Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. See Section 6 for details.
4.4 Sub-processors
We will not engage Sub-processors without informing you in advance. See Section 7 for our current Sub-processor list and notification process.
4.5 Data Subject Rights
We will assist you — insofar as reasonably possible given the nature of the Services — in responding to requests from Data Subjects exercising their rights under GDPR (Articles 15–22).
4.6 Compliance Assistance
We will assist you in meeting your obligations under Articles 32–36 of the GDPR, including security, breach notification, data protection impact assessments, and prior consultation with supervisory authorities.
4.7 Deletion and Return
Upon termination of your subscription, we will delete or return all Personal Data in accordance with your instructions and our data retention policy, unless retention is required by applicable law.
4.8 Audit Rights
We will make available to you all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA and will permit and contribute to audits conducted by you or a mandated auditor, subject to reasonable notice and confidentiality obligations. In most cases, we can satisfy audit requirements through documentation rather than on-site inspection.
5. Your Obligations as Controller
You represent and warrant that:
- You have a lawful basis for any Personal Data you process using the Services
- You have provided appropriate notices to Data Subjects where required
- You are responsible for configuring the Services in accordance with GDPR requirements

7. Sub-processors
3NV uses a limited number of Sub-processors to support the delivery of Services (such as monitoring infrastructure and billing systems). These Sub-processors do not have access to your hosted data or workloads.
We will notify you of any intended additions or replacements to our Sub-processor list with at least 14 days' notice via email. If you object to a new Sub-processor on reasonable data protection grounds, you may notify us in writing and we will work with you to find an alternative or, if no alternative is available, allow you to terminate the affected Services without penalty.
For the current Sub-processor list, contact [email protected].
8. Data Transfers
All infrastructure and data processing under this DPA takes place in Estonia, within the European Union. No Personal Data is transferred to countries outside the EEA under this DPA.
3NV OÜ has no US parent company and is not subject to the US CLOUD Act.
9. Personal Data Breach Notification
In the event of a Personal Data breach affecting your data, 3NV will notify you without undue delay and within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Notification will include, to the extent available:
- Nature of the breach, including categories and approximate number of records affected
- Contact details of our Data Protection contact
- Likely consequences of the breach
- Measures taken or proposed to address the breach
You are responsible for notifying the relevant supervisory authority and affected Data Subjects where required by GDPR.
