Schedule 1: Details of Processing
Subject Matter
Access to Personal Data within the Customer's accounting system (currently Xero) for the purpose of exporting and storing accounting data.
Duration
For the duration of the Customer's use of the Services. Personal Data is automatically deleted:
- Immediately upon Customer request via the "Disconnect" function
- After 2 weeks if the Customer selects the grace period option
- After 12 months of account inactivity (default retention option)
Nature and Purpose of Processing
Numerint provides data export and archival services. The Processing involves:
- Reading accounting data and files from the Customer's accounting system via API (OAuth 2.0 read-only access)
- Temporarily storing data on ephemeral infrastructure (AWS Lambda and ECS Fargate) during the export process
- Durably storing the exported data in object storage (Amazon S3) for the retention period chosen by the Customer
- Making the aggregated data available for download by the Customer via secure TLS-encrypted connection
- Retaining data according to the Customer's chosen retention period (configurable via the "Disconnect" function)
- Automatic disconnection after 2 weeks of inactivity
- Automatic deletion after 12 months of inactivity (unless Customer specifies earlier deletion)
Categories of Data Subjects
- The Customer's customers, suppliers, and business partners
- Employees and contractors of the Customer and its business contacts
Types of Personal Data
Numerint exports all accounting data from the Customer's accounting system as detailed at https://numerint.com/#what_is_included. This data may include Personal Data within the following categories:
- Contact information: Names, business addresses, email addresses, phone numbers
- Financial information: Bank account details, VAT/tax numbers, payment information
- Professional information: Job titles, company names, business relationships
- Transaction data: Invoice details, payment records, purchase orders, expense claims
- Banking data: Bank transactions, account details, reconciliation data
- Attachments and files: Any files attached to accounting records (PDFs, images, receipts, contracts, etc.) which may contain Personal Data depending on their content
Not all data exported by Numerint will necessarily contain Personal Data (e.g., product catalogues, general ledger codes, tax rates). However, where Personal Data is present within any of the exported accounting data or attached files, it will be Processed in accordance with this DPA.
Sensitive Data
Numerint does not intentionally Process special categories of Personal Data (e.g., racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, biometric data). If such data is inadvertently included in the Customer's accounting data, it shall be Processed subject to the same protections as other Personal Data.
Schedule 2: Security Measures
Numerint implements the following technical and organisational measures:
1. Infrastructure Security
- Cloud Provider: Amazon Web Services (AWS) operating in the Ireland (eu-west-1) region
- Physical Security: AWS data centres with ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type II compliance
- Network Security: All data transfer occurs over TLS-encrypted connections
- Infrastructure as Code: Automated deployment processes to ensure consistent security configurations
2. Data Security
Encryption at Rest: All Personal Data stored in:
- AWS Lambda ephemeral storage (AES-256 encryption)
- AWS ECS Fargate ephemeral storage (AES-256 encryption)
- Amazon S3 object storage (server-side encryption with AWS-managed keys)
- Encryption in Transit: All data transfers use TLS 1.2 or higher
- Data Minimisation: Numerint does not transform or copy Personal Data unnecessarily
3. Access Controls
Authentication:
- Customers authenticate using their existing accounting system credentials (OAuth 2.0)
- Numerint administrators use multi-factor authentication (hardware MFA devices)
Authorisation:
- Customers grant Numerint read-only access to their accounting data via OAuth 2.0
- Access can be revoked by the Customer at any time through:
- The "Disconnect" function in Numerint's Services
- The accounting system's "Disconnect Connected Apps" feature (e.g., in Xero)
- When disconnected, Numerint can no longer access the Customer's accounting system
- Principle of Least Privilege: Access to systems and data is restricted to what is necessary for job functions
4. System Availability and Resilience
- High Availability: Use of AWS services with built-in redundancy and fault tolerance
- Data Durability: Amazon S3 Standard storage class with 99.999999999% durability
- Backup: Source data remains in the Customer's accounting system (Numerint is not the system of record)
5. Operational Security
- Logging: Security-relevant events are logged and monitored
- Vulnerability Management: Regular updates and security patches applied to systems
- Incident Response: Documented procedures for detecting and responding to security incidents
6. Personnel Security
- Background Checks: Where required and permitted by law, background checks on personnel with access to Personal Data
- Confidentiality: All personnel with access to Personal Data are bound by confidentiality obligations
- Training: Regular training on data protection and security requirements
7. Development Security

8. Monitoring and Testing
- Security Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of security events and anomalies
- Regular Reviews: Periodic review and update of security measures
9. Data Segregation
- Customer Isolation: Each Customer's data is logically segregated using unique identifiers
- No Cross-Customer Access: Technical controls prevent one Customer from accessing another Customer's data
10. Limitations
Numerint does not transform or mask Personal Data. If the Customer requires data minimisation, pseudonymisation, or anonymisation, these measures must be implemented within the Customer's accounting system before export.
