Sub-processor listing
As indicated in our Data Processing Agreement (“Data Processing Agreement”), Connective engages certain sub-processors (“Sub-processors”) to assist in the performance of the agreement between Connective and its clients (“Client”). Such Sub-processors are involved to offer specific functionalities or services included within our solutions*. By means of this declaration (“Sub-processor Listing”) we are informing you in all transparency on the Sub-processors involved when using our services and on the procedure which applies when a new Sub-processor would be engaged by Connective.
* Please note the information provided via this page applies only in case you have opted for the default set-up of Connective’s services as a hosted SaaS solution. If you opted for a specific set-up, we refer to the relevant data processing agreement executed
But first, what exactly is a Sub-processor?
A Sub-processor is a data processor engaged by Connective who has or potentially will have access to or process personal data when you are using our services.
Connective engages different types of Sub-processors to perform various functions as explained below. Such services provided by the Sub-processors we engage are essential for making available all functionalities of the services we offer. In the overview below, Sub-processors are listed per service we offer.
When Connective would engage new Sub-processors:
Clients who signed Connective’s Data Processing Agreement will be notified by Connective in case the Sub-processor Listing is being updated, aligned with the procedures included in the Data Processing Agreement and as explained on this webpage.
Connective undertakes to update this Sub-processors Listing regularly to enable its Clients to stay informed of the scope of sub-processing activities associated with our services.
In the event a new material Sub-processor is onboarded by Connective in respect of the service the Client is using, the Client will be notified within reasonable timing before such new Sub-processor will have access to the Client’s personal data. A notification will be send to the Client’s contact person indicated in the Data Processing Agreement, and the present Sub-processor Listing will be updated (and made available for online access via this webpage).
Each Client shall have the right to object to the engagement of a new Sub-processor by Connective by giving Connective written notice of such objection via dpo@connective.eu within thirty (30) days after Connective has notified the Client. In such case Connective and the Client shall discuss in good faith to find a solution acceptable for both parties. If Connective has not received any objection within such time period, the (new) Sub-processor engaged shall be deemed accepted by the Client.
