Sub-processors
Sub-processors and data regions
This page lists the service providers that handle data for Tideframe Bookings, where each one processes it, and the safeguard used for transfers out of the EEA, the UK or Australia. It is a draft until the lawyer's review of our privacy and data processing documents is complete.
Where data is stored
Operator and guest data is stored in one region today: Sydney. We say where the database is hosted and do not promise more than that about residency. Some providers below process data in other countries as part of their own service, and each entry says where.
If we open a second region, for example in the EU, we will add it to this page before any operator's data is moved there.
Providers we use
These providers handle operator or guest data for Tideframe Bookings. Each entry is the same as the entry for that provider on the Tideframe Digital register at tideframedigital.com/sub-processors/.

Providers not yet in use
Twilio and 360dialog are planned for messaging in a later release. Neither handles any data yet. We will add each one here, with notice, before it does.
How we tell you about changes
When we plan to add or replace a provider that handles operator or guest data, we add it to this page marked "Proposed", with the date it is due to start. Operators get at least thirty days' notice and a right to object on reasonable data protection grounds. The data processing terms you accept when you sign up set out what happens if we cannot resolve an objection.
