2. Personal Data Processing

2.1 Roles and Responsibilities

Controller and Processor Roles

The Customer and TrustPath acknowledge that for the purposes of Data Protection Legislation:

  • TrustPath processes Personal Data as a processor
  • The Customer is the controller, determining processing purposes and scope
  • The Customer provides processing instructions to TrustPath
  • TrustPath implements appropriate technical and organizational measures

Processing Activities

TrustPath is responsible for:

  • Storing Applicant information with corresponding risk levels
  • Assigning risk scores when fraud is suspected
  • Processing data according to the Customer’s instructions

2.2 Where applicable, TrustPath is responsible for storing Applicant information, including any Personal Data, tagged with the corresponding risk level assigned by the Customer. In cases where there is a reasonably high suspicion or indication of fraud, the Customer, for its fraud prevention or avoidance purposes, authorizes TrustPath to assign a relevant risk score to the applicant’s information. Where TrustPath acts as a processor on the Customer’s behalf, the Parties shall also comply with the processor-related obligations set out in this DPA.

2.3 In some circumstances, TrustPath may process and aggregate certain Personal Data provided by the Customer with data obtained from other sources (including data providers and other customers) as an independent controller, for the purposes of developing and improving the Services. This may include using artificial intelligence (e.g., machine-learning techniques), identifying potentially fraudulent patterns that could indicate illicit activity, providing customers with calculated risk scores or alerts regarding elevated fraud risk, and maintaining appropriate audit logs. Such processing is permissible only if TrustPath’s processing objectives are compatible with the Customer’s. TrustPath warrants that this processing is undertaken to prevent and detect fraud and other illicit activities in the substantial public interest, and the Customer hereby authorizes such use, including profiling of Personal Data for these purposes.

2.4 Even after the Customer’s relationship with TrustPath ends, TrustPath may continue to retain the Personal Data and any related inferences where it has a lawful basis for doing so. Such lawful bases include TrustPath’s legitimate interests in providing services to all of its customers, fulfilling its legal obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, or otherwise serving the substantial public interest. Where TrustPath acts as an independent controller, each Party remains individually responsible for its own processing of the Personal Data and for compliance with the applicable Data Protection Legislation, unless otherwise stated herein.
