Dealfront acts as a data processor with regard to certain personal data shared with us. We act as data processors with regard to the following personal data sets:

  • personal data processed in the course of using Leadfeeder,

  • personal data processed in the course of connecting your CRMs with us (DATACARE or Salesforce Integration for example).

As outlined above, we only process personal data as a data processor if you share personal data with us, either by implementing Leadfeeder on your website or if you connect your CRM with our systems.

In these cases, the following personal data (depending on what products you choose and how you implement them) is processed by us as a data processor:

  • name, title (CRM integration or formfill + Leadfeeder)

  • Contact details (CRM integration)

  • Contract data (CRM integration)

  • Contracting Company's history (CRM integration)

  • Website traffic + metadata (formfill + Leadfeeder)

In these cases, a so-called data processing agreement (DPA) needs to be concluded that outlines the obligations and responsibilities of both Dealfront (as the data processor) and the client (as the data controller) in terms of data protection and processing. Our DPA is based on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) published by the European Commission, thus it is very fair and does not contain any surprising clauses.

The DPA is incorporated and agreed upon by reference in the terms and conditions (Sec. 3.2) between Dealfront and the client. No need to have it signed or separately agreed.

While a signature is not legally necessary for the DPA to be binding, we are happy to set up a mutually signed document should you need it. In this case, please send a request to legal@dealfront.com
