Data Processing
Last Updated: 1 September 2025
This page applies only to customers and data subjects who are covered by the European Union Data Act (Regulation (EU) 2023/2854). It sets out the required information that the provider of data processing services, in this case DigiShares A/S (provider of a white-label platform solution), must make publicly available in order to comply with the obligations set forth in the Regulation.
The details provided herein relate specifically to:
- Procedures for switching and porting to other data processing services;
- Data structures, formats, and relevant interoperability standards;
- Jurisdictional information for ICT infrastructure; and
- Technical, organisational, and contractual measures implemented to prevent unlawful international access to non-personal data held within the Union.
This page is not applicable to customers outside the territorial scope of the EU Data Act, nor does it create any contractual rights or obligations beyond those required by the Regulation.
1. Switching and Porting Procedures
1.1 Overview
For the standard white-label solution, customers have the ability to export their dataset in a CSV format which contains an up-to-date table of their current sharecap table. If the API variant is chosen, the data can be extracted via APIs allowing the data to be passed through certain ETL processes (Extract, Transform, Load process) of choice. That will allow the information to be transferred over to the new service provider. We do not assist with the creation and development of the ETL functions that make up the application.
1.2 Available Methods and Formats
- Supported Export Formats:
- CSV
- JSON
- GQL API responses
- Export Methods:
- API endpoint
- Web download in the above mentioned formats
- Import/Porting Methods (if applicable):
- Direct API
- CSV uploads via the admin panel
1.3 Restrictions or Technical Limitations
Depending on the variant chosen, only certain types of export methods could be available. API exports are only possible on the Advanced version of the platform with API access. In terms of partial data export, project based selection of investors exporting is possible.
1.4 Charges for Switching
Any charges for these switching data processing services shall not exceed cost-based compensation as permitted by applicable law, which shall be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Although subject to a case-by-case basis, standard services fees amount to EUR 150 per hour. In cases where the data processing solution has been highly customized for the customer, as requested by the customer, it may be impossible to switch to another data processing service due to significant interference in the data, digital assets or service architecture.
2. Data Structures, Formats & Interoperability Standards
2.1 Exportable Data Standards (Article 25(2)(e))
Formats and specifications concerning exportable data standards are listed below:
Data Type | Format | Standard / Specification | Open? (Y/N) |
