This provision creates a technical and contractual limitation on the company's ability to fulfill data subject rights requests for data processed under ZDR, which may require evaluation under GDPR Articles 15, 16, 17, and 20 to assess whether the architecture is consistent with data subject rights obligations or whether supplemental disclosures are required.
Interpretive note: Whether the ZDR technical limitation on data subject rights fulfillment is consistent with GDPR Articles 15 through 20 depends on regulatory interpretation and enforcement context in applicable jurisdictions.
Under ZDR, submitted content and model outputs are not retained beyond active processing, but the agreement states the company cannot fulfill access, correction, export, or deletion requests for data processed under this mode. This provision applies only prospectively from the moment of activation and does not affect previously processed data.
