How to get a signed DPA without a sales call

Most transactional email providers treat a DPA as an enterprise deliverable: something a sales rep hands over after a call, once you're far enough into the pipeline to be worth the paperwork. That's backwards for a tool a developer signs up for on a Tuesday afternoon. Envello generates the DPA the moment you create an account, on every plan, including free.

Where it actually lives

It's a PDF, downloadable from your dashboard's Billing section. There's no separate request form and no support ticket needed to unlock it. If your DPO or procurement contact needs a copy before they'll approve the tool, you can hand it to them the same day you sign up, not after a discovery call gets scheduled.

What "signed" means here

The document is generated from your account details, not a template with placeholder text you fill in yourself. It includes a signatory name and a generation timestamp that stand in for a signature block. It's honest to say this isn't wired up to a dedicated e-signature provider like DocuSign, that's a reasonable future iteration, not what ships today. What matters for most procurement reviews is that the terms are specific, dated, and attributable to your account, and that's what you get on day one.

What it actually covers

• Subject matter and duration: processing personal data in email content and recipient metadata, for as long as your account is active plus your configured retention window
• Location: processed in the EU (AWS eu-central-1, Frankfurt), not transferred outside the EEA in the ordinary course of the service
• Sub-processors: engaged only under terms no less protective than the DPA itself
• Security measures: encryption in transit, access controls, audit logging
• Deletion: personal data is deleted or returned on termination, in line with your configured retention settings, except where the law requires otherwise

The one thing it doesn't include

A current subprocessor list isn't published on the site. It's available on request (email [email protected]), and active customers get a 30-day notice by email before any subprocessor is added or replaced. If your review process wants that list attached to the DPA itself, ask for it alongside the DPA rather than assuming it's bundled automatically.
