Subprocessors

Last Updated: January 2026

Introduction

To provide the Vastyn platform, we engage third-party service providers ("subprocessors") who may process personal data on our behalf. This page lists our current subprocessors in accordance with GDPR Article 28.

We carefully select subprocessors that maintain high security and privacy standards. All subprocessors are contractually bound to protect your data.

What is a Subprocessor?

A subprocessor is a third-party company that processes personal data on behalf of Vastyn to help us deliver our services. They only process data according to our instructions and are subject to strict contractual obligations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you use subprocessors?

Subprocessors provide specialised services (hosting, payments, email) that would be impractical for us to build ourselves. Using established providers like AWS and Stripe means you benefit from their enterprise-grade security and reliability.

Is my data safe with these subprocessors?

Yes. We only work with subprocessors that meet strict security standards. AWS and Stripe, for example, maintain the highest industry certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS).

Can I opt out of certain subprocessors?

Our core subprocessors (AWS, Stripe, AWS SES) are essential to provide the service. Analytics (Google Analytics) can be disabled via cookie preferences. Marketplace connections are entirely optional — you choose which to connect.

Where can I find subprocessor privacy policies?

Yes. Material changes to subprocessors will be notified via email at least 30 days in advance. This page is always kept up to date.
