Data processing agreement

Last updated: 25 September 2026

This agreement (Article 28 GDPR) is part of the terms of sale. It applies as soon as the Customer uses ChiptunePRO to process personal data of their own customers, prospects or visitors. The French version is the reference version.

1. Roles

  • Controller: the Customer (the professional who holds the ChiptunePRO account).
  • Processor: Benjamin Fargeot, sole trader (entrepreneur individuel, EI), publisher of ChiptunePRO, SIRET 940 859 457 00019, 2 rue du Général Louis Clouet, 33650 La Brède, France (the "Publisher").

2. Subject matter and duration

The Publisher processes the data on behalf of the Customer, only to provide ChiptunePRO. The agreement lasts as long as the Customer's account, then until the data is erased as set out in section 11.

3. Nature and purposes

Hosting, recording, organising, consulting, modifying, displaying, sending and deleting data, so that the Customer can:

  • Customers and vehicles: manage their customer and vehicle records.
  • Quotes and invoices: prepare quotes and invoices and send them by email to their customers.
  • Calendar: manage appointments, and show the events of their Google calendar if they turn on sync.
  • Customer's website: receive requests sent through the contact form and simulator embedded on their website, and measure the use of their simulator.

4. Data and data subjects

  • Data subjects: the Customer's customers and prospects, visitors to their website who use the simulator or contact form.
  • Identity and contact details: last name, first name, email, phone, address.
  • Vehicles: make, model, engine, registration number, services requested or performed, photos uploaded by the Customer.
  • Documents: quotes, invoices, amounts, dates.
  • Exchanges: reason and message of contact requests, appointments.
  • Technical data: IP address and date of requests sent and of simulator views.

The Customer undertakes not to record in ChiptunePRO sensitive data (health, opinions, offences...) that is not needed for their business.

5. Customer's instructions

The Publisher processes the data only on the Customer's documented instructions. The terms of sale, this agreement and the Customer's use of ChiptunePRO features constitute these instructions. The Publisher informs the Customer if it considers an instruction to infringe data protection law.

The Publisher does not use this data for its own purposes. It does not sell it and does not use it to market to the Customer's customers.

6. Confidentiality

Only the Publisher, and any person it may authorise who is bound by confidentiality, may access the data, and only when needed for the service, for support requested by the Customer or to comply with the law.

7. Security

The Publisher applies the following measures, suited to the size of its business:

  • Hosting: Contabo servers located in Germany (EU).
  • Connections: encrypted with HTTPS.
  • Access control: each account is protected by a hashed password or Google sign-in and only accesses its own data; administration access is limited to the publisher.
  • Backups: regular, to restore data after an incident.
  • Updates: of software components, to fix known vulnerabilities.

8. Sub-processors

The Customer authorises the Publisher to use the following sub-processors. Stripe, which processes subscription payments, receives no data about the Customer's customers.

Sub-processorRoleLocation and safeguards
Contabo GmbHHosting of the application, the database and the email server (sending quotes, invoices and notifications)Germany (EU)
Brevo (Sendinblue SAS)Sending some of the platform's emailsFrance (EU)
GoogleReading the Customer's Google Calendar events to show them in their ChiptunePRO calendar, only if they turn on sync; fonts loaded by the embedded simulator and form (visitor's IP address)EU and United States (Data Privacy Framework)

The Publisher imposes equivalent data protection obligations on each of them. It informs the Customer by email at least 30 days before adding or replacing a sub-processor; the Customer may object by cancelling their subscription at no cost before that date.

9. Data subject rights and assistance

The Customer can view, correct, export or delete the data themselves in ChiptunePRO. If the Publisher receives a request directly from a data subject, it forwards it to the Customer without delay and does not answer it itself unless instructed by the Customer.

Within its means, the Publisher helps the Customer answer these requests, keep the data secure and, where needed, carry out an impact assessment.

10. Data breach

The Publisher notifies the Customer of any personal data breach without undue delay after becoming aware of it, by email, with the information available: nature of the breach, categories and approximate number of data subjects and records concerned, likely consequences and measures taken or proposed. It adds to this information as it becomes available.

It is up to the Customer, as controller, to notify the supervisory authority and, where applicable, the data subjects.

11. End of the contract

Before deleting their account, the Customer can export their invoices from the invoicing module and ask contact@chiptunepro.com for a copy of their other data in a common format.

When the account is deleted (30 days after the request), the Publisher erases the data. Backup copies are overwritten as they rotate. The Publisher keeps no data about the Customer's customers, unless required by law.

12. Audits

On reasonable request, the Publisher provides the Customer with the information needed to demonstrate compliance with this agreement. An audit may be carried out by the Customer or by an independent auditor bound by confidentiality, at most once a year except after a data breach, with 30 days' notice, at the Customer's expense, and without disrupting the service or exposing other customers' data.

13. Template notice for the Customer's website

The Customer can place this text next to the contact form or simulator embedded on their website, completing it:

"The information you enter is intended for [garage name], the controller, to answer your request. It is hosted by ChiptunePRO, its technical provider, in the European Union. You can exercise your rights of access, rectification and erasure with [garage name] at [email]."
