We do not collect users’ own subscribers’ data, nor does it have any access to that data: hence, we are not a data processor, so a data processing agreement is not needed. Anyway, if you configure the plugin to use external services (usually an external mail delivery service) you should check with that service if some sort of agreement is required.
