Sub-processors

Last updated · September 2026Authoritative list · referenced by the Privacy Policy

A sub-processor is a third party that processes firm or website data on TheGonch’s behalf in order to run the service. TheGonch keeps this list short on purpose. Each row states what the provider does, what data passes through it, and what is known about where it processes that data.

Rows marked “to be confirmed” are stated as such rather than assumed. They will be updated when confirmation is complete.

A note on residency

“US-hosted primary database” means exactly that: the database. It does not mean that every sub-processor processes data in the United States. Application hosting uses a global edge network, and email and push providers’ processing regions are not yet confirmed. Firms with a residency requirement should read this table row by row rather than relying on the database statement alone.

Deliberately absent

Some categories of tooling common on software websites and in software products are not used by TheGonch, and their absence from this list is intentional:

Advertising analyticsNo advertising pixels or ad-network tags on the website or in the platform.
Cross-site trackingNo third-party tracking cookies or fingerprinting.
Behavioural analytics on platform dataNo third-party product-analytics service receives firm operating data.

Changes

When a provider is added, removed or confirmed, this page and its date are updated and firms with an active deployment are told directly. Questions about a specific provider can be raised through the contact page or in a technical review.
