Effective date: September 2026
This Addendum applies when you are a business subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act - "CCPA/CPRA"), or when you process personal information of California residents using the Sentsai service. It is incorporated by reference into the Sentsai Terms of Service and Data Processing Agreement.
Terms used but not defined here have the meanings given in the CCPA/CPRA.
Sentsai, as Service Provider, shall:
Sentsai processes Personal Information solely for the following Business Purposes:
Sentsai certifies that it understands these restrictions and will comply with them.
The Personal Information processed includes the following CCPA/CPRA categories:
The categories listed above are the complete set of Personal Information Sentsai processes, and none of them falls within the definition of sensitive personal information in Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.140(ae). Sentsai does not receive account passwords or other credentials, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, union membership, the contents of mail, email or text messages, genetic or biometric data, health information, or information concerning sex life or sexual orientation.
The Business is responsible for receiving and responding to consumer (employee) rights requests under the CCPA/CPRA. Sentsai will assist the Business to the extent technically feasible:
GET /gdpr/export) containing all Personal Information held for the Business;DELETE /gdpr/erase) to remove all Personal Information;If a consumer submits a rights request directly to Sentsai, Sentsai will forward it to the Business without undue delay and will not respond to the consumer on the Business's behalf without authorization.
Business obligations. The Business is responsible for providing its employees, contractors and other consumers with the notice at collection required by Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100(a) before their Personal Information is processed by Sentsai, for verifying the identity of a consumer making a request, and for deciding how to respond. Sentsai's assistance works as follows: the export endpoint returns the Personal Information held for the whole tenant, and the Business locates the records for the individual concerned; the deletion endpoint deletes the Personal Information for the whole tenant; and deletion for a single individual is handled by emailing privacy@sentsai.com with the user's UPN or Microsoft object ID, which Sentsai completes within 30 days by deleting the scan records that contain that individual, removing the findings, the report and the PDF together, as set out in clause 9 of the Data Processing Agreement. Where the Business asks for assistance that goes beyond these tools, clause 6 of the Data Processing Agreement (additional instructions, assistance and costs) applies.
Sentsai uses the following sub-processors that may process Personal Information. Each is engaged under a written contract that imposes comparable privacy obligations and requires the sub-processor to remain liable to Sentsai for the acts and omissions of its own sub-processors:
Sentsai retains Personal Information for the retention period configured by the Business - 90 days by default, configurable between 30 and 365 days - after which it is automatically deleted. On termination of the agreement, or on request, all Personal Information is deleted within 30 days. Three exceptions, disclosed for accuracy. First, payment records: Stripe, our payment processor, retains its own ledger under its own legal obligations and outside our control (we delete the Stripe customer record and any saved payment method, but we cannot erase that ledger), and we separately keep a de-identified transaction record of our own - amount, date, pricing tier, payment reference and refund status - as a financial record, as described in Section 6 of the Privacy Policy. Second, entries in our immutable audit trail are retained as a record that an action occurred. Their IP address and user-agent fields are erased, leaving an action name, a timestamp and internal identifiers that do not identify a person. Third, where a sub-processor's own deletion cycle is longer than 30 days, the copy that sub-processor holds is deleted within that cycle, which we will state on request (clause 11 of the Data Processing Agreement). Separately, copies in the automated backups of our managed database expire in the ordinary course within 14 days and are used only for disaster recovery.
Sentsai implements reasonable security measures including: encryption in transit for internet-facing traffic (TLS 1.2+), field-level encryption at rest, tenant-level data isolation, access logging, and retention-based automatic deletion. In the event of a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Information, Sentsai shall notify the Business without undue delay and in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware, as set out in clause 10 of the Data Processing Agreement.
To the extent there is any conflict between this Addendum and the Terms of Service or DPA with respect to CCPA/CPRA obligations, this Addendum shall control solely with respect to such CCPA/CPRA obligations.
This Addendum allocates compliance responsibilities; it does not change either party's liability. Sentsai's liability under or in connection with this Addendum is subject to Section 10 of the Terms of Service and clause 14 of the Data Processing Agreement, and the cap in those provisions is a single shared amount, not an additional one.
