Input Data Ownership
Customer retains full ownership of all data they submit to the platform. Responsive explicitly states in their DPA that they process data only as a processor on Customer's behalf.
Output Data Ownership
The DPA focuses on personal data processing but doesn't explicitly address ownership of AI-generated outputs or content created using the platform. This is a common gap in RFP/questionnaire software policies.
Training Data Usage
Responsive is explicitly prohibited from using customer data for purposes other than providing the contracted services. The DPA clearly restricts data use to service delivery only.
Data Retention & Deletion
Clear data deletion rights with 12-month backup retention cycle. Upon request, Responsive will destroy or return all personal data, with exceptions only for legal retention requirements.
Third-Party Data Sharing
Data sharing is limited to approved sub-processors necessary for service delivery (AWS, MongoDB, etc.). No selling or unauthorized sharing of customer data is permitted.
Opt-Out Rights
Customers can object to new sub-processors within 30 days and may terminate if concerns cannot be resolved. The platform provides data portability and deletion rights upon request.
Compliance & Certifications
Comprehensive compliance framework including SOC2 Type 2, ISO 27001:2022, GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss FADP, CCPA/CPRA, and multiple US state privacy laws with explicit certifications mentioned.
Model Explainability & Auditability
While audit rights exist for data processing and security measures, there's no specific mention of AI model explainability or algorithmic transparency for their AI features.
Security Practices & Breach History
Strong security practices including AES-256 encryption, regular security audits, ISO 27001 certification, and comprehensive incident response procedures. No breach history disclosed.
Enterprise vs. Consumer Risk Delta
The available documents don't clearly distinguish between different service tiers or their respective data handling practices. The focus appears to be on enterprise customers.

Standard provisions for legal compliance with government requests. Company will only process data outside customer instructions when required by applicable laws or binding governmental orders.
