Question regarding DPA incorporation into Terms of Service

Questions
1

Dear n8n team,

I’m a developer building AI voice agent solutions for businesses in the Czech Republic, and I use n8n Cloud as part of my stack.

While reviewing your legal documentation for GDPR compliance purposes, I noticed that your Self-Serve Terms of Service (https://n8n.io/legal/self-serve-terms/) does not explicitly reference or incorporate your Data Processing Agreement (https://n8n.io/legal/data-processing-agreement/).

However, your documentation at https://docs.n8n.io/privacy-security/privacy/ states:

“n8n includes a Data Processing Agreement as part of the company’s standard Terms of Service.”

I have two related questions:

  1. Does accepting the Self-Serve Terms of Service automatically mean that the DPA is also accepted and legally binding — even though the ToS document itself does not explicitly mention or link to the DPA?

  2. If not, is it necessary to separately sign and return the DPA document to ensure it is formally in effect?

Thank you for your time, I look forward to your response.

Best regards,
Czech developer
