  Data Location & Subprocessor Guide    Khoros has offices in the USA, the EU, the UK, India and  Australia. These offices may have access to customer personal data for support and engineering purposes.   Khoros also uses subprocessors in its applications to help it perform certain Services. Suprocessors are third-party entities with whom Khoros contracts to perform these Services and who may process customers’ personal data. Khoros contractually requires its subprocessors to comply with security and data privacy standards that are at least as protective as those that Khoros commits to its customers. Specifically, as concerning European Union data privacy regulatory compliance, Khoros complies with the EC Standard Contractual Clauses and requires that those subprocessors that have access to Customer personal data also comply. For information on our subprocessors, please scroll down to the charts below or simply click on one of the following links to be redirected to the corresponding chart:     What has changed since our last version: We have removed the CX Insights subprocessor chart, as Khoros no longer offers this Service. We have also moved Akamai Technologies and ETI into the "Optional Community Subprocessors" category and have also updated the ETI's Purpose.  MARKETING SUBPROCESSORS Subprocessor Purpose Data Hosting Location Customer Location AWS USA Cloud hosting USA Worldwide Airship Mobile push notifications which might contain PII USA, EU Worldwide Fastly Content delivery network Worldwide (location list at: https://www.fastly.com/network-map) Worldwide Pendo In-app help, guidance, and announcements USA Worldwide SendGrid (Twilio) Email service provider used to send emails USA, UK, India, and Japan Worldwide Sumo Logic Log collection and storage USA Worldwide Twilio Provides programmable communication products and services, primarily in the form of APIs USA Worldwide Zencoder (Brightcove) Video transcoding; Although it does not handle PII, it may have access to unreleased marketing assets USA, Australia, Mexico, Singapore, UK, Spain, France, Germany, and Sweden Worldwide OPTIONAL MARKETING SUBPROCESSORS Talkwalker Deep listening services for select Strategic Services Customers EU (Germany) Worldwide   CARE SUBPROCESSORS  Subprocessor Purpose Data Hosting Location Customer Location AWS USA Cloud hosting USA USA and Canada Customers EMEA/APAC Customers solely for authentication data* AWS Ireland Cloud hosting Ireland EMEA Customers* AWS Australia Cloud hosting Australia APAC Customers* Pendo In-app help, guidance, and announcements USA Worldwide Sendgrid (Twilio) Email services provider used to send emails USA, UK, India, and Japan Worldwide Sumo Logic Log collection and storage USA USA, Canada, and EMEA Customers Sumo Logic Log collection and storage Australia APAC Customers Sunshine Conversations Extends conversational capabilities USA and EU Worldwide Twilio Provides programmable communication products and services, primarily in the form of APIs USA Worldwide OPTIONAL CARE SUBPROCESSORS Box File storage for Customers using the “File Preview Feature” USA Worldwide Cloud Elements API integration platform for CRM USA and Ireland Worldwide * = User profile and authentication data for the sole purpose of providing a unified log-in experience will be hosted in AWS USA for all Care customers.  All other customer data is hosted in region where customer is situated.  KHOROS BOT SUBPROCESSORS Subprocessor Purpose Data Hosting Location Customer Location Auth0 User authentication Germany Worldwide AWS EU West 1 Cloud hosting Amsterdam, Germany, and Luxembourg Worldwide AWS Ireland Cloud hosting Ireland Worldwide Cloudflare Web firewall and CDN Worldwide Worldwide Customer.io CRM USA Worldwide MongoDB Database management  Belgium Worldwide OPTIONAL KHOROS BOT SUBPROCESSORS Google Ads (and analytics) Advertising USA Worldwide Vertex AI (Google Cloud) Provides advanced machine learning to enhance Khoros Bot and Agent Assist functionality, including large language models (LLMs) USA (Oregon) US and Canada Customers Vertex AI (Google Cloud) Provides advanced machine learning to enhance Khoros Bot and Agent Assist functionality, including large language models (LLMs) UK EMEA Customers Vertex AI (Google Cloud) Provides advanced machine learning to enhance Khoros Bot and Agent Assist functionality, including large language models (LLMs) Australia APAC Customers Sendgrid (Twilio) Email provider USA Worldwide Sentry.io Error reporting USA Worldwide   COMMUNITY SUBPROCESSORS Subprocessor Purpose Data Hosting Location Customer Location AWS USA Cloud hosting USA USA, Canada, and APAC Customers AWS Ireland Cloud hosting Ireland EMEA Customers Akismet Spam detection USA and Australia Worldwide Clarotest Consulting Lab S.R.L.
