Data Processing Addendum

Why Common Paper

Rather than write bespoke DPA language from scratch, Geod uses the Common Paper Data Processing Agreement (Standard Terms v1.1), a free, publicly reviewable template drafted by a committee of privacy attorneys and used widely across SaaS. You and your legal team can read the exact terms before we ever exchange an email. Executing it just adds a short Cover Page naming the parties, subprocessors, and applicable transfer mechanism. Our Terms of Service are built the same way, on the Common Paper Cloud Service Agreement.
