This processing — including the categories of data involved, technical and organizational measures, sub-processors, and any transfers outside the EU/EEA — is governed by the Data Processing Agreement (DPA) between Planning Cockroach GmbH and the respective business customer, available at planningcockroach.ai/privacy (DPA section).

9. International Data Transfers
Data processed under this Privacy Policy (website visits, account registration, contact form, demo requests) is processed within the European Union.
Data processed on behalf of business customers via the Platform — including CRM integrations and the “Aunt Roachie” AI feature — may involve transfers to third countries (e.g. the United States, via our AI sub-processors). Such transfers are governed separately by the Data Processing Agreement and safeguarded through EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
