Sub-processor Register
Last updated:
Gradespace LTD uses the third-party sub-processors listed below to deliver our website, free tools, and products (TargetGrade, CareMaSym, AccountGrade, and BuildGrade). Each sub-processor is bound by a data processing agreement with obligations equivalent to those in our Data Processing Agreement, and transfers outside the UK are covered by an appropriate safeguard under UK GDPR.
We will give customers prior notice before adding or replacing a sub-processor, with a reasonable opportunity to object on data protection grounds. To receive change notifications, contact privacy@thegradespace.com.
