A sub-processor is a third party that processes personal information on our behalf so that we can run the SFN AI platform. This page lists the ones we use, what each one receives, and where it processes.
This is the current list and it is the one our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Security pages point to. We maintain it here rather than inside our terms so that it can be kept current without an amendment. The date above tells you when it was last reviewed.
