Service providers (processors): hosting, databases, storage/CDN, email, analytics, logging/monitoring, payment processing, customer support, and identity/SSO.
Examples (replace with your vendors): [Cloud host], [Payment processor], [Email/SMS provider], [Error monitoring], [Analytics], [CRM].

We maintain a current list of subprocessors here: [link to sub-processor page].
10) International data transfers
We operate globally. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards, such as:
EU/UK Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK Addendum),
Data Privacy Framework participation [if applicable],
Other legally recognized mechanisms.
Details are available in our Data Processing Addendum (DPA): [link to DPA].

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the risk, including:
Encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest,
Least-privilege access; SSO/MFA for internal tools,
Regular patching, monitoring, and backups,
Vendor due diligence and contractual safeguards.
No method is 100% secure; if we discover a breach that affects you, we’ll notify you and relevant authorities as required by law.
12) Our role: controller vs. processor
For website, marketing, billing, and account data, anqupu is the controller.
For content you upload, social accounts you connect, and related end-user data you direct us to process within the Services, we act as a processor on behalf of your organization (the controller). Our obligations as a processor are set out in the DPA referenced above.
13) Third-party links
The Services may link to third-party sites or apps. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. Please review them carefully.

The Services are not intended for, and we do not knowingly collect data from, anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we’ll delete it.
