2. Overview
Every subprocessor listed below is bound by a data-processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR. Where processing in third countries is unavoidable, it is covered by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 2, June 2021) together with supplementary technical measures (encryption with customer-managed keys, TLS 1.2+, EU data residency, logging).

4. Third-country transfers
Primary processing happens inside the European Union. Where US parent companies of the listed providers receive access for administrative control, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework applies to DPF-certified recipients, and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses apply in addition. A current Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) is available from the Data Protection Officer on request.

6. Change history
| Date | Version | Material changes |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-04-14 | 1.0 | Initial publication (pre-launch) |
| 2026-05-08 | 1.1 | Added Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (Meta Pixel — Facebook/Instagram advertising) as a subprocessor; processing only after marketing consent |
| 2026-08-24 | 1.2 | Added three subprocessors: Google Ireland Limited (Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager — website reach measurement, consent-gated), PostHog, Inc. (mobile-app usage analytics, stored in the EU in Frankfurt, consent-gated) and Google Ireland Limited (Firebase Crashlytics — app crash reports, consent-gated). The app has included PostHog and Crashlytics since July 2026; since app version 1.5.0 both hang off the same consent and are switched off before it is given. |
| 2026-09-05 | 1.3 | Corrected the description of voice processing: no audio recording of the regular calls is stored; the voice is processed in real time and what is stored is a written call record (14 days). Made explicit that the voice stream carried by Twilio is not stored. HubSpot's role made precise (blog delivery, waiting list, subscriber CRM, email communication, and the consent-gated website tracking); the website itself is not served by HubSpot. Storage location described consistently: servers in the European Union, storage exclusively in Germany. |
| 2026-10-05 | 1.6 | Meta entry aligned with privacy policy 2.6: joint responsibility instead of processing, full IP address, transfer basis without a module number. |
| 2026-10-05 | 1.5 | Google entry aligned with actual behaviour (nothing before consent, page address without parameters, IP address not stored); product name "AI companion by phone". |
| 2026-09-10 | 1.4 | AWS entry extended with the requests to the AI companion for events on the website (language model on Amazon Bedrock in EU data centres; no storage of question and answer) |
