How we vet a sub-processor

Before engaging any sub-processor we complete a documented assessment covering:

independent assurance — at minimum a current SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 report;
a signed Data Processing Addendum with EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 3 for sub-processors) and UK Addendum where applicable;
a transfer impact assessment for any onward transfer outside the EU/EEA, UK or Switzerland;
a 30-day notice and objection window for our customers, as committed in the DPA.

How to object

If you have a reasonable, data-protection-based objection to a proposed new sub-processor, email [email protected] within the 30-day notice window. We will work with you in good faith. If we cannot resolve the concern, you may terminate the affected service and receive a pro-rata refund of any pre-paid, unused fees, as set out in section 7 of the DPA.
