Effective Date: April 29, 2026  |  Brownmine Enterprises LLC

This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") supplements the Fundory.ai Terms of Service (the "Agreement") between Brownmine Enterprises LLC d/b/a Fundory.ai ("Fundory") and the Agency tier subscriber ("Agency" or "Customer"). This DPA applies whenever Fundory processes Client Data on behalf of Agency in connection with the Agency tier of the Service.

To the extent of any conflict between this DPA and the Agreement, this DPA controls with respect to the processing of Client Data.

1. Definitions

"Agreement" means the Fundory.ai Terms of Service and any related order form between Fundory and Agency.

"Applicable Laws" means the laws of the United States and the State of Georgia, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended), as applicable to the processing of Client Data.

"Client" means a nonprofit organization, business, or other entity for which Agency uses the Service to manage grant pipelines, generate proposals, or perform related services.

"Client Data" means personal information and organizational information of a Client (or its personnel and beneficiaries) that Agency submits to or has processed by the Service.

"Personal Information" has the meaning given in Applicable Laws and includes information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with a particular individual.

"Process" or "Processing" means any operation performed on Client Data, including collection, storage, use, disclosure, modification, transmission, or deletion.

"Sub-Processor" means a third party engaged by Fundory to process Client Data on its behalf.

2. Roles and Scope

2.1 Roles

As between Fundory and Agency, Agency is the controller (or business) of Client Data, and Fundory is the processor (or service provider) acting on Agency's documented instructions. Agency is solely responsible for determining the lawful basis on which Client Data is collected and disclosed to Fundory.

2.2 Authorization from Clients

Agency represents and warrants that it has obtained all necessary authorizations, consents, and rights from each Client to (a) submit Client Data to the Service, (b) permit Fundory to process Client Data as described in this DPA and the Agreement, and (c) generate proposals and other Generated Output on behalf of the Client.

2.3 Scope of Processing

Fundory will process Client Data solely (a) to provide the Service to Agency and its Clients, (b) as further documented in the Agreement, this DPA, or other written instructions from Agency, and (c) as required by Applicable Laws. The duration, nature, purpose, types of data, and categories of data subjects are described in Schedule A.

2.4 Lawfulness

If Fundory believes an instruction from Agency violates Applicable Laws, Fundory will inform Agency without undue delay and may suspend the relevant processing until the matter is resolved.

3. Confidentiality

3.1 Personnel

Fundory will ensure that personnel authorized to process Client Data are bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations and have received appropriate training on data protection.

3.2 Need-to-Know

Access to Client Data within Fundory is limited to personnel who require access to perform their duties.

4. Security Measures

4.1 Technical and Organizational Measures

Fundory will maintain reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Client Data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Current measures include:

  • Encryption of Client Data in transit using industry-standard protocols (TLS).
  • Encryption at rest for sensitive fields and credentials.
  • Role-based access controls and authentication for all production systems.
  • Audit logging of administrative and high-privilege actions.
  • Regular vulnerability scanning and patch management.
  • Background checks for personnel with access to production systems, where permitted by law.
  • Secure software development practices, including code review.
  • Disaster recovery and incident response procedures.

4.2 Reasonable Updates

Fundory may update its security measures from time to time, provided that the level of protection is not materially decreased.

5. Sub-Processors

5.1 General Authorization

Agency authorizes Fundory to engage Sub-Processors to assist in providing the Service. Fundory will impose contractual obligations on each Sub-Processor that are substantially similar to those in this DPA, including with respect to confidentiality and security.

5.2 Current Sub-Processors

The current list of Sub-Processors includes:

Sub-Processor Location Purpose
OpenAI, LLC United States Large language model processing
Stripe, Inc. United States Payment processing
Amazon Web Services, Inc. United States Cloud hosting and storage

5.3 Changes to Sub-Processors

Fundory will notify Agency of new Sub-Processors at least thirty (30) days before authorizing them to process Client Data. Agency may object on reasonable data-protection grounds within fifteen (15) days of notice. If the parties cannot resolve the objection, Agency's sole remedy is to terminate the Service for the affected functionality without refund of fees already paid.

5.4 Liability

Fundory remains responsible for the acts and omissions of its Sub-Processors with respect to the obligations under this DPA.

6. Use of Client Data for AI Training

Agency acknowledges that Fundory uses Customer Data, which includes Client Data submitted to the Service, to train, fine-tune, evaluate, and improve its AI models and the Service, as described in the Agreement and Privacy Policy. Agency represents that it has secured the necessary authorizations from its Clients for this use. Where reasonably practicable, Fundory applies de-identification, aggregation, and access controls before using Client Data for training purposes. Sub-Processors providing AI infrastructure are contractually prohibited from using Client Data to train their own general-purpose models.

7. Data Subject Requests

7.1 Cooperation

Fundory will, taking into account the nature of the processing, provide reasonable assistance to Agency in responding to verifiable requests from data subjects (or their Clients) to exercise rights under Applicable Laws, including rights to know, access, correct, and delete Personal Information.

7.2 Direct Requests

If Fundory receives a request directly from a data subject regarding Client Data, Fundory will, where lawful, redirect the request to Agency without responding substantively, except to acknowledge receipt and provide Agency's contact information.

8. Security Incident Notification

8.1 Notification

Fundory will notify Agency without undue delay, and in any event within seventy-two (72) hours, after becoming aware of a confirmed unauthorized acquisition of, access to, or disclosure of Client Data caused by a breach of Fundory's security measures (a "Security Incident").

8.2 Information Provided

The notification will include, to the extent then known, (a) a description of the nature and scope of the Security Incident, (b) the categories of Client Data affected, (c) the measures taken or proposed to address the incident, and (d) a point of contact for further inquiries.

8.3 Cooperation

Fundory will reasonably cooperate with Agency in investigating, mitigating, and remediating the Security Incident. Fundory's notification of, or response to, a Security Incident is not an admission of fault or liability.

9. Audits and Documentation

9.1 Documentation

Fundory will make available to Agency, upon reasonable written request, summary documentation reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA, such as security policy summaries, third-party audit reports (if available), and security questionnaire responses.

9.2 Audit Rights

To the extent required by Applicable Laws and subject to reasonable confidentiality obligations, Agency may audit Fundory's compliance with this DPA no more than once per twelve-month period, with at least thirty (30) days' advance written notice, during normal business hours, in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Fundory's operations. Fundory may satisfy audit requests by providing recent third-party audit reports where available.

10. Return and Deletion of Client Data

10.1 During Term

Agency may export Client Data through the Service's standard export functionality at any time during the term of the Agreement.

10.2 Upon Termination

Upon termination of the Agreement and at Agency's written request submitted within thirty (30) days after termination, Fundory will delete or return Client Data in its possession, except to the extent retention is required by Applicable Laws or for legitimate business purposes (such as backups, audit logs, financial records, or de-identified data already incorporated into AI model improvements).

10.3 Default Retention

If Agency does not submit a request within the thirty-day window, Fundory will retain Client Data in accordance with the retention practices described in the Privacy Policy until Agency requests deletion.

11. Liability

Each party's liability arising out of or related to this DPA is subject to the limitations of liability set forth in the Agreement. The aggregate liability of either party arising out of this DPA and the Agreement, taken together, is governed by the limitations in the Agreement and is not increased by the existence of this DPA.

12. General

12.1 Term

This DPA takes effect when Agency subscribes to the Agency tier and remains in effect for so long as Fundory processes Client Data on behalf of Agency.

12.2 Order of Precedence

In case of conflict, this DPA controls over the Agreement with respect to processing of Client Data; the Agreement controls in all other respects.

12.3 Governing Law

This DPA is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, consistent with the Agreement.

12.4 Updates

Fundory may update this DPA from time to time to reflect changes in Applicable Laws, sub-processors, or operational practices, with at least thirty (30) days' prior notice. Continued use of the Agency tier after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

12.5 Severability

If any provision of this DPA is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.
