Document Reference: GEO-SPEC-001 · System Architecture Version: 2.0 (Pure Prompt Inversion Model) · Effective Date: July 3, 2026
This Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) supplements the VerifiedLayer Terms of Service and forms a legally binding data privacy contract between VerifiedLayer (“Processor”) and the verified corporate entity claiming its profile or licensing intent data via the platform (“Controller”).
1.1: Context of Data Transfer
The Controller utilizes VerifiedLayer’s platform services, including accessing the verified Vendor Dashboard and receiving high-intent B2B user data generated via VerifiedLayer’s Contextual Intent Trigger Model.
1.2: Data Framework Roles
In the course of delivering these services, VerifiedLayer may transfer personal information (such as Buyer/Evaluator names, corporate emails, professional titles, and contextual query metadata) to the Controller once a User has provided explicit, affirmative consent via the platform’s content gate. Under applicable Data Protection Legislation (including EU GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA), the software Vendor acts as an independent Data Controller for their licensed lead pipeline, and VerifiedLayer acts as the Data Processor orchestrating the matching interface.
3.1: Subject Matter
The processing of user-level registration details, administrative vendor credentials, and high-intent contextual B2B lead profiles.
3.2: Duration
The term of this DPA shall run concurrently with the Controller’s active registration, profile claim status, or data licensing contract on VerifiedLayer.
3.3: Nature and Purpose
To enable secure identity validation for Vendor Representatives managing profiles (/company/{slug}), and to legally transfer validated, contextually triggered B2B intent leads to the Controller once a platform User has actively authorized disclosure in exchange for premium competitive metrics.
3.4: Categories of Data Subjects
3.5: Type of Personal Data
First and last names, corporate email addresses, job titles, employer/company names, platform interaction history (e.g., specific alternative platforms evaluated), and explicit user consent time-stamps.
VerifiedLayer warrants that it will handle all system-level personal data in strict compliance with the following parameters:
4.1: Processing Limitations
VerifiedLayer shall process personal data solely in accordance with documented instructions from the Controller, including configurations established within the authenticated Vendor Dashboard, unless strictly required to do otherwise by applicable international law.
4.2: Personnel Confidentiality
VerifiedLayer ensures that all technical personnel, database engineers, and platform administrators authorized to manage or route the underlying data pipelines have signed binding non-disclosure agreements or are subject to appropriate statutory obligations of confidentiality.
4.3: Technical and Organizational Security Controls
VerifiedLayer implements robust security architectures to shield the account registration databases and lead-routing pipelines from unauthorized access, modification, or exposure. These encompass:
As an independent recipient and controller of the B2B Contextual Intent Leads routed by VerifiedLayer, you explicitly covenant and agree to the following legal terms:
5.1: Adherence to User Opt-Outs and Deletions
If an enterprise User requests account deletion or executes a downstream privacy right with VerifiedLayer, VerifiedLayer will transmit an automated downstream data modification signal to the Controller. Upon receipt of this signal, the Controller must immediately scrub, delete, or modify that User’s corresponding Personal Data within its internal marketing, CRM, or sales databases, unless an independent statutory regulation requires preservation.
5.2: Mandatory Purpose Limitation
The Controller agrees to process the licensed B2B intent leads solely for legitimate, targeted professional outreach relevant to the specific product categories or competitive comparisons the User was investigating at the moment of the Contextual Trigger event. Broad, indiscriminate spam distribution or selling these leads onward to unverified third-party marketing networks is strictly prohibited.
6.1: Authorized Engagement
The Controller grants VerifiedLayer general authorization to engage infrastructure sub-processors (such as cloud database providers, identity verification services, and security networks) to host the Site and maintain lead-routing queues.
6.2: Contractual Flow-Down
VerifiedLayer shall impose data protection obligations upon any engaged sub-processor that are no less restrictive than those set out in this DPA, ensuring an unbroken chain of enterprise data protection.
VerifiedLayer shall make available to the Controller all technical documentation and administrative logs necessary to demonstrate compliance with the data security obligations laid out in this DPA. If requested under regulatory oversight, VerifiedLayer will cooperate with independent data protection audits executed to confirm the operational validity of the platform’s Consent-Gated Content Wall.
The Controller agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless VerifiedLayer against any legal actions, administrative fines, regulatory penalties, or consumer lawsuits arising from the Controller’s misuse, unauthorized disclosure, or unlawful processing of the B2B Contextual Intent Leads once they have been successfully transferred from VerifiedLayer’s platform to the Controller’s internal system environments.
This DPA shall be governed by, interpreted, and enforced under the exact choice of law and jurisdictional provisions set forth in the VerifiedLayer Terms of Service (the laws of the State of Delaware, United States).
