Sub-processors — 2026-10-01 (archived)

Last updated: 1 October 2026

This list is Annex 3 of our Data Processing Agreement. We announce any addition or replacement at least 30 days in advance by email to account holders and on this page; you may object as described in section 6.2 of the DPA.

May process API content — tier scope below

Sub-processor	Service	Location of processing	Safeguard
Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany	Hosting of the websites (including the dashboard), API gateway, database and encrypted backups	EU (data centre in Helsinki, Finland)	Provider's standard Art. 28 GDPR agreement required before customer-data processing; ISO/IEC 27001-certified data centres
DataCrunch Oy (trading as Verda), Helsinki, Finland	GPU servers for model inference	Finland (EU)	Art. 28 GDPR data processing terms; ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 Type II (per provider)
Lium (lium.io), with independent third-party GPU providers	On-demand GPU inference for opted-in Global keys when spare EU capacity is busy	worldwide (third-party GPU providers)	Transfers outside the EU/EEA happen only for keys you opted in; you are responsible for not sending personal data on such keys unless an adequate transfer basis applies for your use. The switch itself is not a transfer basis under Chapter V GDPR.

EU-tier requests always stay in the EU. Without worldwide opt-in, Global requests also stay in the EU. Request and response content is not stored on any node; this applies to EU capacity and Global overflow alike.

Account, billing and identity providers — no API content

The providers below may receive account, billing or sign-in data, but never API request content. Their roles depend on the service: some act as processors on our instructions; Stripe and Google act as independent controllers for their own payment or identity services. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Provider	Service	Location	Role
Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., Dublin, Ireland	Payments, tax calculation and invoices	EU; transfers to Stripe, Inc. (USA) under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses	Independent controller for payment processing; processor for invoicing
Scaleway SAS, 8 rue de la Ville-l'Évêque, 75008 Paris, France	Service emails (sign-in links, receipts and notices); planned, not in use at present	EU (Paris, France)	Processor, once enabled; its Art. 28 GDPR agreement is concluded before first use
Google Ireland Limited, Dublin, Ireland	Google sign-in; verified email and stable account ID only	EU; transfers to Google LLC (USA) may occur under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework	Independent controller for identity services

Global tier — current status

The Global tier first uses spare EU capacity, with lower priority than EU-tier requests. When that capacity is busy, Global requests may use on-demand GPU capacity rented through Lium (lium.io). Independent third-party providers operate the GPU hardware in various countries, including outside the EU/EEA. Processing outside the EU happens only for API keys whose customer has explicitly enabled the "Allow worldwide processing" switch. Without that opt-in, Global requests stay on EU capacity and may be queued or rejected with a retryable error when busy. EU-tier requests always stay in the EU and have priority. Existing customers keep EU-only processing unless they opt in for the individual key. Request and response content is not stored on any node (zero payload retention). The existing 30-day notice and objection process still applies to new content sub-processors. This list does not assert Lium certifications or signed Standard Contractual Clauses.
