The addendum applies specifically to Customer Data as defined in the agreement, with Synthesia acting as processor. The specific categories, types, and scope of Customer Data covered are not defined in the content provided.
This analysis describes what Synthesia's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The scope of data covered by the DPA determines which processing activities are subject to its protections and obligations. Without the full addendum text, it is not possible to confirm whether all personal data processed through the Synthesia platform falls within the defined Customer Data scope.
Interpretive note: The definition of Customer Data and the specific categories of personal data covered by the DPA are not reproduced in the content provided, preventing clause-level assessment.
Under this clause, only data qualifying as Customer Data under the addendum's definitions is subject to the DPA's processor obligations. Business customers should confirm that the Customer Data definition in the full addendum captures all categories of personal data they process through the platform.

"This addendum reflects our requirements as a processor of Customer Data.Excerpt from Synthesia's Data Processing Agreement
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR Article 28 requires processor contracts to specify the categories of personal data and categories of data subjects covered. The document excerpt does not define Customer Data, meaning this requirement cannot be verified from the content provided. The ICO and EDPB guidance on processor agreements emphasize that data categories must be specified. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. If the Customer Data definition in the full addendum is narrower than the actual personal data processed through the platform, personal data outside that definition may not be covered by the DPA's protections. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK organizations have the highest exposure given GDPR specificity requirements for processor contracts. Organizations processing special category data (health, biometric, or other sensitive data) through the platform should confirm those categories are explicitly covered. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should review the Customer Data definition in the full addendum and cross-reference it against their data mapping documentation to confirm all processed personal data categories are covered. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) for Synthesia deployments should reference the Customer Data scope in the DPA and confirm alignment with actual processing activities, particularly given Synthesia's AI video generation capabilities which may process biometric or voice data.
