We use cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality, analyze traffic, and personalize content. You can modify your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
7. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Data Processing Addendum (DPA)
For enterprise customers, Waffle provides a Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) that outlines each party’s responsibilities under applicable privacy laws, including the GDPR. This DPA becomes part of our contractual agreement with customers who process personal data through our platform.

If you are an EU or EEA resident, Waffle acts as a Data Controller for personal data collected directly from you, and as a Data Processor when handling data on behalf of our customers. EU users may contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) for privacy-related inquiries at:
