Overview

Konfir uses third-party service providers (“subprocessors”) to help deliver and operate our verification services. These may include providers for infrastructure hosting, customer support tooling, communications, and specialised verification components.

Subprocessors are only engaged where necessary, and are subject to contractual, security, and data protection requirements.

Disclaimer: This article provides a high-level overview of how Konfir governs subprocessors. For the authoritative subprocessor list, refer to: https://www.konfir.com/client/security


What is a subprocessor?

A subprocessor is a third party that processes personal data on Konfir’s behalf in order to provide part of the service.

For example, subprocessors may support:

  • Secure cloud hosting and backups

  • Identity or verification services

  • Customer support and communications

  • Service monitoring and operational tooling

Konfir remains accountable for subprocessors it appoints as part of delivering the service.


How Konfir governs subprocessors

When Konfir uses subprocessors, we apply governance controls including:

  • Limiting access to the minimum data needed for the task

  • Putting written contracts in place with appropriate data protection terms

  • Applying confidentiality and security requirements aligned to our obligations

  • Maintaining oversight and accountability for subprocessor performance


Subprocessor list

Konfir maintains an up-to-date list of subprocessors at: https://www.konfir.com/legal/processors. This list includes:

  • The provider name

  • The type of data involved

  • The purpose of processing

  • The processing location


Third-party controllers

In some cases, third parties may assist in delivering Konfir services but act as independent controllers of the personal data provided to them. These relationships are also documented in Konfir’s published materials.
