Sub-Processor List

Vulos engages the following third-party Sub-Processors to deliver the service. Per our Data Processing Agreement, we provide 30 days’ advance notice of any addition or material change. Registered account holders are notified by email at the start of each notice window.

How the 30-day notice works

When Vulos intends to add a new Sub-Processor or materially change an existing one, we:

  1. Publish the pending change on this page with an effective date at least 30 days in the future.
  2. Send a notice email to the registered address of every active account at the start of the notice window.
  3. Allow the Controller to object by emailing privacy@vulos.org within the 30-day window. Vulos will work in good faith to resolve any objection.
  4. Activate the change on the effective date only after the notice window closes without unresolved objections (or with resolved ones).

The full legal mechanism is described in Section 6 of the Data Processing Agreement. For questions, email privacy@vulos.org.
