Sub-processor List
Ideanote uses certain sub-processors to assist in providing Ideanote’s services. A sub-processors is a third party data processor engaged by Ideanote who agrees to receive personal data from Ideanote intended for processing activities to be carried out (i) on behalf of Ideanote Customers; (ii) in accordance with Customer instructions as communicated by Ideanote; and (iii) in accordance with the terms of a written contract between Ideanote and the sub-processors.
Ideanote imposes data protection terms on each sub-processor regarding their security controls and applicable laws for the protection of personal data. Further information relating to sub-processor security measures can be found via the external links below.
Where the engagement of a sub-processor requires the cross-border transfer of personal data, Ideanote has performed Transfer Impact Assessments for such data transfer.
Ideanote maintains an up-to-date list of the names and locations of all sub-processors below.
Duration of processing: For each sub-processor below, processing of personal data will be for the duration that the Customer uses and continues to use Ideanote and for the retention periods as set out in customer’s agreement with Ideanote.
Data Processing Agreements
We have in place written Data Processing Agreements (“DPA”) with all of our sub-processors. The DPA is a contract between a data controller and a data processor, and covers the items required under Art. 28 of the GDPR. This includes the roles and responsibilities of the parties when personal data is processed.
According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), contractual clauses ensuring appropriate data protection safeguards can be used as a ground for data transfers from the EU to third countries. This includes model contract clauses – so-called standard contractual clauses ("SCC") – that have been “pre-approved” by the European Commission. All of our sub-processors outside of the EU have SCC in place.
Third-Party Sub-processors
Ideanote works with other third parties to provide specific functions or features within the Service. These providers will have access to relevant personal information (in both an identifiable and anonymous manner) in order to provide their relevant functions. The use of information is limited to the specific purposes.

Changes in Sub-processors
Our business needs may change from time to time. For example, we may deprecate a sub-processor to consolidate and minimize our use of sub-processors. Similarly, we may add a sub-processor if we believe that doing so will enhance our ability to deliver our Services. Before engaging sub-processors, we perform due diligence, including a security and legal analysis. We do not engage a sub-processor unless our quality, security and the standard of the GDPR are met.
Changes in sub-processors are regulated by the DPA we have in place with you.
