This Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") forms part of the Terms of Service between you ("Customer", "Controller") and Siensi Software ("Processor", "we", "us"), a trading name of Siensi Financial Solutions Limited. It sets out how we process personal data on your behalf in connection with your use of the Siensi Software practice management Service.

This DPA is incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service. By accepting the Terms, you accept this DPA.

1. Roles

  • You are the Data Controller of personal data you enter about your end clients.
  • We are the Data Processor and process such data only on your documented instructions.

2. Subject matter and duration

The subject matter of processing is the provision of the Siensi Software Service. The duration of processing is the duration of your subscription, plus any retention period specified in our Privacy Policy.

3. Nature and purpose of processing

We process personal data on your behalf for the purpose of:

  • Storing and displaying client and contact records you create
  • Calculating and tracking deadlines
  • Generating draft emails for sending to your clients (sent via your own SMTP)
  • Storing documents you upload (engagement letters, AML documents, etc.)
  • Backing up data for disaster recovery

7. Security measures

  • Audit logging of admin access
  • Regular automated backups with retention

9. Data subject requests

If we receive a request directly from one of your end clients (a data subject), we will forward the request to you and not respond directly, except to acknowledge receipt and refer them to you.

We will provide reasonable assistance to help you respond to such requests. Most data is accessible directly via your account using the built-in export feature.

10. Audits

Upon reasonable written notice, we will provide reasonable information necessary to demonstrate our compliance with this DPA. Where Customer requires more extensive audits, we may charge reasonable costs.

  • Adequacy decisions of the European Commission or UK Government, where available
  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum

12. Termination and return of data

On termination of your subscription, you may export all your data using the built-in backup feature. We will retain your data for 90 days post-termination to allow reactivation, then delete it permanently. Backups containing deleted data may persist for up to 30 days before being purged.
