This Data Transfer Impact Assessment ("DTIA") describes how 1mind AI, Inc. ("1mind") protects personal data when it is transferred from jurisdictions outside the United States to 1mind's systems in the United States. This document is designed to help customers and prospective customers evaluate whether engaging 1mind's services meets their obligations under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, the Australian Privacy Act 1988, Argentina's Personal Data Protection Law (Ley 25.326), Brazil's Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA), Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), and other applicable data protection laws.
1mind provides an AI-powered platform that enables businesses to deploy intelligent digital employees for sales, customer success, and support functions. When 1mind processes personal data on behalf of its customers, it acts as a data processor (or "service provider"). The customer remains the data controller.
1mind's services primarily process business-to-business (B2B) commercial data — not sensitive personal information. The types of data typically processed include:
| Data Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Business Contact Information | Name, email address, phone number, job title, company name |
| Conversation Data | Transcripts and recordings of sales/support conversations with 1mind AI agents |
| Usage and Analytics Data | Interaction timestamps, session durations, feature usage metrics |
| Technical Identifiers | IP addresses, browser type, device identifiers (for service delivery) |
1mind does not process special categories of any sensitive or financial personal data (e.g., health data, biometric data, data revealing racial or ethnic origin, credit card information, social security numbers, etc.). Any sensitive or financial data which may be input by a user is filtered out and redacted by 1mind. If a customer's use case involves sensitive data, additional safeguards should be discussed with 1mind's privacy team.
1mind relies on the following legal mechanisms to lawfully transfer personal data from customer jurisdictions to the United States:
1mind is certified under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework, as administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce and recognized by the European Commission's adequacy decision of July 10, 2023. Under the DPF, transfers of personal data from the EU/EEA to 1mind in the United States are considered adequate and do not require supplementary measures or a separate DTIA from customers.
1mind's DPF certification can be verified at: dataprivacyframework.gov.
1mind has opted into the UK Extension to the DPF. The UK–U.S. Data Bridge, effective October 12, 2023, allows personal data to flow from the United Kingdom to DPF-certified organizations in the United States with adequate protection.
As a supplementary safeguard, 1mind also incorporates the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 2: Controller-to-Processor) into its Data Processing Agreement (DPA). These SCCs serve as a backup transfer mechanism in the event that the DPF is invalidated or suspended.
The SCCs incorporated by 1mind include the June 2021 version (Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914), with appropriate annexes completed for 1mind's processing activities.
Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) does not prohibit cross-border data transfers outright. Instead, PIPEDA requires that organizations using third-party processors outside Canada ensure a comparable level of protection through contractual means. 1mind's DPA, which includes data protection obligations, sub-processor controls, and security commitments, satisfies this requirement.
Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing adequate data protection for commercial organizations subject to PIPEDA, facilitating EU to Canada to U.S. data flows.
1mind is certified under the Swiss–U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Switzerland's Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) has recognized the Swiss to U.S. DPF as providing adequate data protection. EU SCCs (adapted for Swiss law) are maintained as a backup mechanism.
Australia's Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principle 8 (APP 8) govern cross-border disclosures of personal information. Under APP 8, an organization that discloses personal information to an overseas recipient must take "reasonable steps" to ensure the recipient handles the information in accordance with the APPs. Importantly, the disclosing Australian entity remains accountable for any acts or practices of the overseas recipient that would breach the APPs.
1mind supports Australian customers' compliance with APP 8 through the following measures:
Additionally, effective December 10, 2026, APP entities must disclose in their privacy policies the use of automated decision-making that could significantly affect individuals' rights or interests. 1mind will support customers in meeting this transparency obligation to the extent applicable.
Argentina's Personal Data Protection Law (Ley No. 25.326, the "PDPL") requires that international transfers of personal data only occur when the recipient country provides an adequate level of protection. Argentina maintains an adequacy whitelist of approved jurisdictions (Rule 60-E/2016), which includes EU/EEA member states, the UK, Canada (private sector), Switzerland, and several other countries.
The United States has not historically been on Argentina's adequacy whitelist. However, a significant development occurred in November 2025 when the United States and Argentina announced the Reciprocal Trade and Investment Agreement, under which Argentina committed to recognizing the United States as an adequate jurisdiction for cross-border data transfers, including personal data. Pending formal implementation of this recognition in Argentina's regulatory framework, 1mind relies on the following mechanisms for Argentine data transfers:
Brazil's Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD, Law No. 13.709/2018) restricts international transfers of personal data to countries or organizations that provide an adequate degree of data protection, or where specific transfer mechanisms are in place. Brazil's national data protection authority (ANPD) has issued Resolution CD/ANPD No. 19/2024, which establishes the definitive framework for international data transfers under the LGPD.
As of March 2026, the ANPD has not recognized the United States as providing adequate data protection. Accordingly, 1mind relies on the following mechanisms:
Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) governs cross-border transfers of personal data through a "Transfer Limitation Obligation" set out in Section 26. Under this obligation, an organization must not transfer personal data to a country or territory outside Singapore except in accordance with requirements prescribed under the Act, to ensure that the recipient provides a standard of protection that is comparable to the protection under the PDPA.
Critically, Singapore does not maintain an adequacy whitelist of approved countries as the EU does. Instead, the PDPA takes an accountability-based approach: the transferring organization must ensure, through legally enforceable obligations, that the overseas recipient provides comparable protection. Singapore also does not require government notifications or approvals for international data transfers, and there are no data localization requirements under the PDPA.
1mind is designed to support Singaporean customers' compliance with the Transfer Limitation Obligation through the following mechanisms:
The PDPC considers several factors when assessing whether comparable protection exists, including: the existence of data protection legislation in the recipient country, regulatory oversight and enforcement mechanisms, the nature and sensitivity of the data, and the contractual safeguards in place.
A central concern in any data transfer impact assessment is whether the laws of the recipient country could permit government authorities to access personal data in a manner incompatible with the data protection standards of the sending jurisdiction. This section examines the primary U.S. legal authorities relevant to government access to data held by service providers such as 1mind.
FISA Section 702 permits the U.S. government to compel electronic communication service providers to assist in the targeted collection of foreign intelligence information concerning non-U.S. persons located outside the United States. This authority is subject to oversight by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) and requires annual certification.
1mind's position:
Executive Order 12333 authorizes U.S. intelligence agencies to collect foreign intelligence information through various means, including signals intelligence (SIGINT). Unlike FISA 702, EO 12333 does not compel private companies to produce data. Instead, it authorizes intelligence agencies to intercept data in transit (e.g., on undersea cables).
1mind's position:
The Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data (CLOUD) Act allows U.S. law enforcement to compel U.S.-based service providers to produce data stored anywhere in the world, provided that a valid legal process is obtained. This requires a warrant supported by probable cause, a subpoena, or a court order — and the service provider may challenge or move to quash such requests.
1mind's position:
As a processor of primarily B2B commercial data (not content targeted by criminal investigations), 1mind is unlikely to receive CLOUD Act requests. Should 1mind receive such a request, its policy is to: (i) evaluate the legal validity of the request; (ii) challenge overbroad or conflicting requests; (iii) notify the affected customer to the extent legally permissible; and (iv) provide only the minimum data legally required.
Executive Order 14086, signed on October 7, 2022, directly addresses the concerns raised by the CJEU in Schrems II. EO 14086 introduces binding safeguards that require U.S. signals intelligence activities to be:
EO 14086 also establishes a two-tier redress mechanism: individuals from qualifying countries (including all EU/EEA member states, the UK, and other designated countries) may submit complaints to the Civil Liberties Protection Officer (CLPO) at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, with appeal rights to the Data Protection Review Court (DPRC), an independent body with binding decision-making authority.
This redress mechanism is a key pillar of the EU–U.S. DPF adequacy decision, the UK–U.S. Data Bridge, and the Swiss–U.S. DPF. It provides an avenue for individuals from these jurisdictions to challenge U.S. government surveillance access to their data.
For customers in Australia, Argentina, Brazil, and Singapore: While EO 14086 currently designates qualifying states for its redress mechanism through an Executive designation process, the safeguards on U.S. intelligence collection (necessity, proportionality) apply universally to all persons regardless of nationality. 1mind's technical and organizational safeguards described in Section 4 provide additional layers of protection for customers in all jurisdictions.
1mind implements comprehensive technical, organizational, and contractual safeguards to protect personal data throughout the data transfer lifecycle:
1mind engages sub-processors to deliver its services. Each sub-processor is bound by contractual obligations requiring a level of data protection at least as stringent as 1mind's DPA.
A current list of sub-processors is always available at: 1mind.com/sub-processors.
