Sub-processors

Last updated: June 8, 2026

A sub-processor is a third party that processes personal data or user content on our behalf to deliver NodePad. We use the providers below. We require each to offer protections consistent with applicable data-protection law (e.g. via a Data Processing Agreement and, for transfers out of the EU/UK, Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent mechanism).

When you use NodePad’s AI features, the content you submit (prompts, referenced messages, attachments, and related workspace content) is transmitted to the model provider that serves your selected model in order to generate a response.

Our core application data (accounts, workspaces, content) is hosted in the EU. Transfers outside the EU are limited to the model providers (AI generation), Stripe (payments), and our edge and authentication providers (Cloudflare; Apple and Google sign-in) for connection metadata and authentication.
