Data Processing Addendum
Version 1.0 · effective 16 May 2026
1. Parties and incorporation
This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") forms part of the Agreement between Customer (controller) and Flagship Fintech (processor). If a separately executed DPA exists, it prevails over this template.
Processor address: Flagship Fintech, F-207 Greek Campus, 171 El Tahrir Street, Bab El Louq, Cairo Downtown 11513, Arab Republic of Egypt.
2. Subject matter and duration
Flagship processes personal data solely to provide the Services under the Agreement, for the term of the Agreement and until return or deletion per Section 10.
3. Nature and purpose of processing
Processing includes collection, storage, retrieval, use, disclosure by transmission, and deletion as required to operate ordered platform features (orchestration, gateway, switch, wallet, fraud, settlement), security monitoring, and support.
4. Categories of data subjects and data
- Customer's authorised users (staff and contractors).
- End users such as cardholders or wallet holders where the module requires it.
- Transaction and technical metadata needed to authorise, route, settle, and reconcile payments.
- Contact data submitted to support channels.
Special categories of personal data must not be submitted unless expressly agreed in writing and lawfully processed.
5. Customer instructions
Flagship processes personal data only on documented instructions from Customer (including the Agreement, product configuration, and lawful support requests), unless applicable law requires processing—in which case Flagship will inform Customer before processing unless prohibited.
6. Confidentiality and personnel
Flagship ensures persons authorised to process personal data are bound by confidentiality or are under a statutory duty of confidentiality.
7. Security
Flagship implements appropriate technical and organisational measures as described in Annex A.
8. Subprocessors
Customer authorises Flagship to engage subprocessors subject to: (a) written agreements imposing data-protection obligations substantially similar to this DPA; (b) a general subprocessor list made available to Customer plus notice of material changes at least thirty (30) days before they take effect unless urgent replacement is required for security; (c) Customer's right to object on reasonable data-protection grounds within the notice period.
9. Data subject requests
Where a data subject contacts Flagship regarding Customer-controlled data, Flagship will promptly forward the request to Customer and assist Customer as required by law, at Customer's expense where permitted.
10. Return and deletion
Upon termination, Flagship will delete or return personal data per Customer's instructions and the Agreement, except where retention is required by law. Backup copies are deleted per the schedule in Annex A.
11. Breach notification
Flagship will notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting Customer personal data, with information required under applicable law (including GDPR Articles 33 and 34 where applicable), and will cooperate on investigation and mitigation.
12. Audits and demonstrations
Upon reasonable written request, Flagship will provide information to demonstrate compliance and allow audits required by law or agreed in the Agreement, subject to confidentiality, security, and frequency limits (not more than once per year unless required by a regulator).
13. International transfers
Where personal data protected by GDPR or UK GDPR is transferred outside the EEA or UK, the parties will execute Standard Contractual Clauses (Module Two: controller to processor) and, if applicable, the UK Addendum, as specified in Annex B.
14. Records
Flagship maintains records of processing activities as required by Article 30 GDPR where applicable.
15. Liability
Liability for breach of this DPA follows the liability and cap provisions of the Agreement, except where mandatory law provides otherwise.
