These are the companies Perchway uses to run the Service that may process personal information. Each one is bound by a contract that limits what it can do with the information to providing its service to us. This page is part of our Privacy Policy and our Data Processing Addendum.
Perchway is being built in stages, so the last column shows whether each provider is in use now or will start when the feature that needs it opens.

Changes. Before a new provider starts processing personal information, we'll add it here. Freelancers get at least 30 days' notice of new subprocessors that will handle their Clients' information, as our Data Processing Addendum describes. Questions: [email protected].
