This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") supplements the APIANT Terms of Service (the "Agreement") between Apiant, Inc.

This DPA applies to the extent that APIANT processes personal data on behalf of Customer as a data processor (or service provider, as applicable under US state privacy laws). In the event of a conflict between this DPA and the Agreement, this DPA shall prevail with respect to the processing of personal data.

2.2 APIANT processes Personal Data solely on behalf of and in accordance with Customer's documented instructions. Customer's use of the Services, including configuration of automations and data processed through Customer's MCP Server Infrastructure, constitutes documented instructions for the purposes of this DPA.

When data is processed through Customer's MCP Server Infrastructure, APIANT (as the underlying platform provider) may process:

4.4 Customer may request deletion of Personal Data at any time by contacting privacy@apiant.com. APIANT shall comply with such requests within thirty (30) days, subject to any legal retention obligations.
APIANT does not use Personal Data, User Data, tool call parameters, tool call responses, or any other Customer data to train artificial intelligence models, machine learning models, or any form of automated decision-making system.
