Data processing agreement
Offered
Data region
Primary: AWS Ireland (EU). Disaster recovery: AWS France (EU). Deel processes data globally as an HR platform for 150+ countries.
Deel AI Terms of Service (updated Oct 2023) state interactions are collected to improve service but explicitly claim customer conversations and organisation data are never shared with external learning models. Deel AI uses OpenAI LLM for general knowledge but asserts customer data remains inside Deel. The ToS clause 'We collect and store user interactions to improve the service' introduces some ambiguity about internal product-improvement use, but external AI model training is explicitly denied. Customers with stricter requirements should request contractual confirmation via the DPA.

// What to watch
- AI ToS clause 'We collect and store user interactions to improve the service' is ambiguous about internal product-improvement data use even though external model training is denied. Customers in regulated industries should request written DPA confirmation.
- No public bug bounty or published responsible disclosure policy found on HackerOne, Bugcrowd, or deel.com. Pentest attestation letter exists but requires NDA access via Trust Center.
- HIPAA compliance not listed. Deel Benefits product may handle US health benefit data; HIPAA applicability should be confirmed for US healthcare or benefits-heavy deployments.
- EU AI Act compliance listed in Trust Center for the ATS product specifically. Other AI features (Deel AI) may be subject to EU AI Act depending on use case classification; customers should review AI governance docs.
