The obligations and rights of the Customer (and any Customer Affiliates) are set out in the Agreement and this DPA.
Schedule 2 — Technical and Organizational Measures
The Supplier will conduct the activities covered by this DPA in compliance with its Information Security Policy. The Supplier also has the following technical and organisation measures in place:
- LunaLift collects only the minimum data necessary to optimize content visibility in AI search engines. This includes: Bot request metadata: hashed versions of IP address, User-Agent, and hostname. Plus content access patterns and LLM interaction metrics. No personal user data is collected beyond what is strictly required for LLM bot detection and analytics. All identifiers are hashed using SHA-256 immediately upon receipt, making the original data irreversible. LunaLift does not track or process personal data of your site visitors, and the integration involves no cookies or JavaScript execution.
- We maintain robust encryption across all touchpoints: In transit: All communications use HTTPS / TLS 1.3+. At rest: Bot traffic data and platform content are stored using full-disk encryption. Endpoints: All employee devices are encrypted and access-controlled. Server-to-server API requests (e.g., structured data retrieval) include only hashed metadata within secure channels.
- All data processed is strictly limited to the following purposes: Monitoring AI search engine crawler activity, optimizing customer content visibility in LLM results, and generating aggregated, anonymous performance reports. No profiling, cross-referencing with personal data, or unauthorized secondary use occurs.
- Hashed bot metadata is retained for a maximum of 24 months to enable trend analysis. Customers may configure hashing preferences, request immediate deletion of their stored data and receive monthly transparency reports outlining what data was collected and how it was used. All deletions are performed using cryptographic erasure methods.
- All services are hosted using trusted cloud providers with physical security and network-level protections, DDoS mitigation, redundancy, and failover capabilities. Plus automated updates and vulnerability patching. Content (e.g. llms.txt and structured data) is version-controlled, served via a secure, managed Content Delivery Network (CDN), and embedded server-side to prevent JavaScript injection or manipulation.
- All LunaLift team members complete mandatory GDPR training quarterly, with modules covering bot data handling, hashing protocols, AI-specific privacy and compliance. Access to sensitive systems is restricted and reviewed regularly.
