This page describes how PropAlpha.ai, Inc. (“PropAlpha”) complies with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”), and related data protection laws when processing personal data on behalf of our customers.
This page also serves as our summary Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”). Enterprise customers requiring a countersigned DPA should contact privacy@propalpha.ai.
1. Roles and Responsibilities
1.1 Controller and Processor
Under the GDPR, the terms “controller” and “processor” have specific meanings:
- You (our customer) are the Controller — you determine the purposes and means of processing personal data within your PropHub environment (e.g., employee records, tenant data, vendor contacts).
- PropAlpha is the Processor — we process personal data on your behalf, solely as instructed by you through your use of the Services and these Terms.
- PropAlpha is also a Controller for data we collect directly from you for our own purposes (e.g., account registration, billing, and marketing), governed by our Privacy Policy.
1.2 Sub-Processors
PropAlpha engages the following categories of sub-processors to deliver the Services. We ensure all sub-processors are bound by data processing agreements consistent with GDPR requirements:
- Cloud infrastructure: Amazon Web Services, Inc. (US) — hosting, storage, compute
- Database: AWS RDS / Aurora (US, EU regions available upon request)
- Email delivery: Twilio SendGrid (US)
- Payment processing: Stripe, Inc. (US)
- Customer support: Intercom, Inc. (US)
- Analytics: Mixpanel, Inc. (US) — pseudonymized usage data only
- Error monitoring: Sentry (US) — anonymized error logs
We will notify you at least 30 days in advance of adding new sub-processors. You may object to any sub-processor addition; if we cannot accommodate your objection, you may terminate your subscription without penalty.
2. Personal Data We Process on Your Behalf
2.1 Categories of Data Subjects
Depending on how you use PropHub, we may process personal data relating to:

2.3 Special Category Data
PropHub is not designed to process special category data (sensitive personal data as defined in Article 9 GDPR, such as health data or biometrics). You must not upload special category data without a specific contractual arrangement with us and appropriate legal bases for processing.
3. Our Obligations as Processor
PropAlpha commits to the following as your data processor:
3.1 Processing on Instructions
We process personal data only on your documented instructions, except where required to do so by EU or Member State law. We will inform you if we believe any instruction violates applicable data protection law.
3.2 Confidentiality
All PropAlpha personnel authorized to process personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations. Access is granted on a need-to-know basis and is subject to regular review.
3.3 Security Measures
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures (Article 32 GDPR), including:
- Encryption of personal data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256)
- Pseudonymization of analytics data where feasible
- Regular testing and evaluation of security measures (penetration testing, SOC 2 audits)
- Multi-factor authentication for all production system access
- Incident response procedures with defined escalation paths
3.4 Data Subject Rights Assistance
We provide reasonable technical assistance to help you fulfill data subject rights requests (access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction, and objection) within the Services. Where such requests cannot be fulfilled through self-service tools, contact privacy@propalpha.ai with your request.
3.5 Data Protection Impact Assessments
We provide reasonable assistance with your Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) where our processing activities are likely to result in a high risk, in accordance with Article 35 GDPR.
3.6 Deletion and Return
Upon termination of the Services, or at your request, we will delete or return all personal data within 30 days, and delete existing copies unless EU or Member State law requires storage. We will certify such deletion in writing upon request.
3.7 Audit Rights
We make available all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with our obligations under this DPA and allow for and contribute to audits conducted by you or a third-party auditor mandated by you, with reasonable advance notice and at your cost. We may satisfy this obligation by providing our current SOC 2 Type II report.
4. International Data Transfers
4.1 Data Residency
By default, Customer Data is stored in the United States (AWS us-east-1). Enterprise customers may request EU data residency (AWS eu-west-1 or eu-central-1) as a contractual option. Contact sales@propalpha.ai to discuss EU hosting options.
4.2 Transfer Mechanisms
For transfers of personal data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to the United States, PropAlpha relies on:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): The EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses (2021/914/EU) are incorporated into our DPA for controller-to-processor transfers
- UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA): For UK transfers, we use the IDTA approved by the UK ICO
- Swiss SCCs: For transfers from Switzerland, we rely on SCCs with appropriate Swiss-specific amendments
PropAlpha conducts Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs) for transfers to the US and implements supplementary measures where required.
