Sub-processors
Last updated April 28, 2026
We engage the following categories of sub-processors to provide the Service. Each is bound by a written contract requiring confidentiality, security measures appropriate to the risk, and assistance with data-subject requests, in line with Article 28 GDPR or equivalent. Specific vendor names within technical categories may change as we evolve our infrastructure; contractual safeguards remain in force.

| Paystack Payments Limited | Payment processing for African subscribers (merchant of record: Smart Innovation Technologies Limited) | Billing identifiers, payment metadata, transaction records | Nigeria / European Union |

International transfers
Where data is transferred outside the EEA / UK / Nigeria, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (EU SCCs / UK IDTA) or equivalent safeguards approved by the relevant supervisory authority, complemented by technical measures including encryption in transit and at rest.
