Sub-processors
The companies that help us run Firmspotter, what each one does, and what each one can see. Where we use one to handle personal data for a customer, it is a sub-processor.

Who is not on the list
If a customer connects its own Microsoft Teams channel, our alerts go to that channel. Microsoft is then the customer’s own provider, not ours. We never send anything to Teams, or to any address, outside the customer’s own team.
When the list changes
We will update this page before we add a company, or change what one does, and will tell customers at least 30 days in advance. See the privacy notice for how personal data is protected when a company is based outside the UK.
