When you signup to our website or use the survey editing tools we may use additional sub-processors to facilitate security and the user experience. These companies are NOT used to process your survey data, contacts etc. There are therefore outside the scope of any DPA but are included for completeness.
- All sub-processors have appropriate Technical/Security Guarantees, Standard Contractual Clauses, and Organisational Guarantees if appropriate.
