Appfarm may also use other third-party service providers to process personal data from individuals, interacting with Appfarm outside the use of the Service, if it is necessary to provide you with a contractual service (GDPR art. 6.1 b), if we are required by law, court orders or legal processes to disclose your personal data (GDPR art. 6.1 c), or it can be justified based on our legitimate interest in doing so (GDPR art. 6.1 f). Examples of this would be cloud-based email, accounting, and CRM systems. Please see Appfarm's privacy policy for more information.
Updates
As our business grows and evolves, the Sub-processors we engage may also change. We will endeavor to provide the owner of the Customer's account with notice of any new Sub-processors to the extent required under the Agreement, along with posting such updates here. Please check back frequently for updates.
23/1/2: Removal of Atlassian, Inc. as sub-processors
Appfarm has discontinued use of Atlassian Inc. and their service Trello.
22/12/13: Addition of new sub-processors
Appfarm has added new sub-processors in order to provide our existing and prospective customers, users, and partners an improved and more comprehensive product offering:
- Notion Labs, Inc. (with its service Notion): Internal communication tool, process management, and project management system.
- Contractbook ApS (with its service Contractbook): Contract management platform
- Webflow, Inc. (with its service Webflow): Website services
- Civilized Discourse Construction Kit, Inc. (with its service Discourse): Community and forum platform used to organize engagement and processes
- Docspring, Inc. (with its service Docspring): PDF template management and API service
- Teamtailor AB (with its service Teamtailor): Applicant tracking system
None of these new sub-processors are directly connected to the Service, but offer services Appfarm use for auxiliary business activities, of which some customer data may be processed.
22/11/29: Freshworks, Inc. has been removed as subprocessor
Appfarm has, as of today, discontinued Freshworks, Inc. and its service Freshworks as a sub-processor.
22/4/25: Added EdInvent, Inc. and Induslynk Training Services Pvt Ltd as new processors
Appfarm has, as of today, added EdInvent, Inc. and Induslynk Training Services Pvt Ltd as new sub-processors. Both vendors are used in relation to our certification program, and is not connected to the Appfarm Platform (“the Service”).
22/4/20: Added Hubspot as a subprocessor
Appfarm has, as of today, added HubSpot, Inc. as a new sub-processor. Hubspot is used as a customer relationship management (CRM) system and is not connected to the Appfarm Platform (“the Service”). HubSpot offers regional data hosting, and all data is located in HubSpot’s product infrastructure hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Germany.
21/8/17: Added AWS as a subprocessor
Appfarm has, as of today, added Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a new sub-processor for the Appfarm Platform (the "Service") processing Customer Personal Data. The current use of AWS in the Appfarm Platform will be restricted to the use of the Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). Other AWS services may be used at a later time.
The reason for the change is that several Appfarm customers have at times experienced poor delivery times with the internal Appfarm email service, which, among others, is used for delivery of PIN-codes for user authentication purposes. The Appfarm engineering team has concluded that the current vendor and sub-processor (Mailgun Technologies) should be replaced with a more reliable service to secure the highest service quality of the Appfarm platform.
All Appfarm customers have been notified of the change. In line with the Appfarm Data Processing Agreement (section 7.2), the new sub-processor will not take effect and become active in use in the Appfarm platform until 30 days (September 17th, 2021), if not otherwise instructed by Appfarm customers.
21/1/29: International Data Transfers
Although, in the light of European Court of Justice decision C-311/18 (Schrems-II) in which Privacy Shield as grounds for data transfers to third countries was invalidated, Appfarm is still ensuring that its Third-Party Sub-Processors are compliant with the GDPR framework, either by implementing Standard Contractual Clauses ensuring the same level of protection for its users or similar grounds accepted by the EDPB. This includes, but is not limited to, already existing service providers and service providers in the future.
