Data Processing & Subprocessors

Last updated: 24 September 2026

Straduct uses selected third-party service providers to help host, operate, secure and deliver our website, application, research and AI-assisted services.

This page provides information about those providers, the purposes for which they may process information and Straduct's approach to data processing and subprocessors.

It should be read together with our Privacy Notice, Security information and AI & Human Review Policy.

1. Controller and processor roles

The role Straduct performs under data protection law depends on the relevant processing activity.

For activities such as managing user accounts, operating our website, providing support, securing our systems and managing our own business operations, Straduct may act as a data controller.

Where a customer provides personal data to Straduct and instructs Straduct to process that information solely on its behalf, Straduct may act as a data processor and the customer may act as the data controller.

The correct role is determined by the nature and circumstances of the particular processing activity.

2. Data Processing Agreements

Where Straduct acts as a processor on behalf of a customer and applicable data protection law requires a processor agreement, the relevant processing should be governed by a Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”).

A DPA may address matters including:

  • the subject matter and duration of processing;
  • the nature and purpose of processing;
  • categories of personal data and data subjects;
  • documented customer instructions;
  • confidentiality;
  • security measures;
  • subprocessors;
  • assistance with data subject rights;
  • security incident obligations;
  • international transfers;
  • deletion or return of data; and
  • information required to demonstrate compliance.

This webpage is provided for transparency and does not itself replace a Data Processing Agreement where one is legally required.

3. What is a subprocessor?

A subprocessor is a third-party service provider engaged by a processor to process personal data in connection with services provided to a customer.

Not every supplier used by Straduct will necessarily act as a subprocessor in every context. The classification depends on the service provided and the relevant processing activity.

4. Current service providers

The following providers are currently used within Straduct's website or application infrastructure and may process information depending on the feature being used.

Provider Purpose Typical data involved
Vercel Application hosting, deployment and delivery infrastructure for app.straduct.com Application requests, technical and operational information and data necessary to deliver the application
Supabase Database, backend infrastructure and related application services Account, workspace, business, research, evidence and application data as required by the relevant feature
Brevo Transactional and service email delivery Email address, recipient name where applicable, delivery information and message content
Anthropic AI-assisted analysis and intelligence functionality where applicable Prompts, selected research material, evidence, business context or other information necessary to provide the requested AI functionality
Google / Gemini Deep Research and AI-assisted research functionality where applicable Research queries, selected business or market context, source material and information necessary to carry out the requested research
BanaHosting / Sitejet Public website hosting, delivery and website management infrastructure for straduct.com Website requests, technical information, server logs and information submitted through website functionality where applicable

A provider listed above may perform different legal roles depending on the specific service, configuration and processing activity.

5. AI service providers

Straduct may use external AI providers to perform specific AI-assisted functions.

Depending on the feature being used, information transmitted to an AI provider may include:

  • prompts and instructions;
  • company or competitor information;
  • research material;
  • selected evidence;
  • workspace context relevant to the requested task; and
  • other information reasonably required to produce the requested output.

Straduct aims to limit information transmitted to external AI providers to information reasonably necessary for the relevant function.

Additional information about AI use is available in our AI & Human Review Policy.

6. Platform-managed and customer-managed AI

Where supported, Straduct may allow a workspace administrator to choose between platform-managed AI and a customer-managed AI arrangement.

With platform-managed AI, Straduct selects and manages the relevant provider relationship.

Where customer-managed AI is supported, a customer may use its own provider account, credentials, private endpoint or another supported configuration.

In a customer-managed arrangement, the customer may have a direct contractual relationship with the relevant AI provider and should review that provider's terms and data-processing arrangements.

7. International transfers

Some service providers may process information outside Ireland or the European Economic Area.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, Straduct will use or rely on an appropriate transfer mechanism where required by applicable data protection law.

Such mechanisms may include:

  • a European Commission adequacy decision;
  • Standard Contractual Clauses;
  • an applicable recognised certification or framework; or
  • another lawful transfer mechanism.

Additional technical, contractual or organisational safeguards may be used where appropriate.

8. Security requirements for providers

Straduct aims to use service providers that provide appropriate technical and organisational safeguards for the nature of the processing they perform.

Relevant considerations may include:

  • access controls;
  • encryption capabilities;
  • data isolation;
  • availability and resilience;
  • security monitoring;
  • incident-response processes;
  • data retention and deletion;
  • confidentiality obligations;
  • security documentation; and
  • contractual data-protection commitments.

Further information about Straduct's security approach is available on our Security page.

9. Subprocessor obligations

Where a provider acts as a subprocessor in connection with customer personal data, Straduct aims to ensure that appropriate data protection obligations apply to that provider.

Where required under an applicable DPA, Straduct will maintain appropriate mechanisms concerning the appointment or replacement of subprocessors.

10. Changes to providers

Straduct's infrastructure and providers may change as the platform develops.

Providers may be added, replaced or removed to improve functionality, reliability, security, performance, cost efficiency or compliance.

This page will be updated when material changes are made to the providers relevant to the processing described here.

Where a customer agreement or DPA requires advance notification of new subprocessors, Straduct will provide notification in accordance with that agreement.

11. Payment processing

Straduct may introduce third-party payment processing for subscriptions and pay-per-run services.

The relevant payment provider will be added to this page before payment functionality is made available where that provider processes personal data in connection with Straduct.

Payment card information may be collected and processed directly by the payment provider rather than stored by Straduct.

12. Customer responsibilities

Customers remain responsible for determining whether their use of Straduct complies with their own legal, regulatory and contractual requirements.

Customers should assess whether a DPA, data protection impact assessment, transfer assessment or other internal review is required for their particular use of Straduct.

13. Privacy rights

Information about how Straduct processes personal data and how individuals can exercise applicable privacy rights is available in our Privacy Notice.
