    Last updated: April 29, 2026 · Version 1.0

    This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") forms part of the agreement between Michelle & Rich Essence Ltd (UK Company No. SC883903, ICO registration ZC202456, security number CSN9839688), trading as M&R Edge Studio ("Processor", "we", "us"), and the customer organization ("Controller", "you") that uses our service. It governs how we process Personal Data on your behalf in accordance with the UK GDPR, EU GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), and other applicable data protection laws.

    1. Roles and Scope

    You act as the Controller of Personal Data uploaded, generated, or otherwise submitted to the service by you or your end-users. We act as Processor and only process such data on your documented instructions and as necessary to provide the service.

    2. Subject Matter and Duration

    Subject matter: AI-powered content creation (script generation, voiceover synthesis, video rendering, scheduling, distribution).
    Duration: For the term of your subscription plus retention periods described in our Data Retention Policy.

    3. Categories of Data and Data Subjects

    • Account data: name, email, hashed password, profile.
    • Usage data: projects, scripts, prompts, render history, analytics events.
    • Connected platform data: OAuth tokens (encrypted with AES-256-GCM) and post metadata for connected social accounts.
    • Voice samples: only when you opt into voice cloning, with signed consent.
    • Data subjects: you, your team members, your collaborators, and end-users featured in content you upload.

    4. Sub-Processors

    We engage the following sub-processors. Adding or replacing a sub-processor requires 30 days' notice, during which you may object in writing.

    • Resend, Inc. — transactional email delivery.
    • Sentry — error monitoring (PII scrubbed).

    5. International Transfers

    Where Personal Data is transferred outside the UK or EEA, we rely on the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with appropriate supplementary measures, including encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256).

    6. Security Measures

    • Encryption: TLS 1.2+ in transit, AES-256 at rest, AES-256-GCM for OAuth tokens.
    • Access control: role-based access via has_role() security definer functions; least-privilege service roles.
    • Authentication: mandatory email verification, HaveIBeenPwned password leak checks.
    • Monitoring: Sentry alerts on error spikes; Telegram on-call for production incidents.
    • Backups: daily database backups with point-in-time recovery.
    • Audit: role grant/revoke events written to role_audit_log.

    7. Data Subject Rights

    We assist you in responding to data subject requests (access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction, objection). Most actions can be performed self-service from the in-app Settings → Data & Privacy panel. For requests we receive directly from your end-users, we will forward them to you without undue delay.

    8. Personal Data Breach Notification

    We will notify you without undue delay, and in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting your data, with the information required under Article 33(3) GDPR.

    9. Audit Rights

    On reasonable written notice (not more than once per year, except after a confirmed breach), we will make available the information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA, including third-party audit reports and SOC summaries from our sub-processors where available.
