Subprocessors and Processing Out of EU
For providing quality services Sessionstack engages processors and subprocessors, carefully selected according to their capacity for personal data protection and processing in compliance with Sessionstack’s obligations under the GDPR. We provide personal data to our processors and subprocessors to process it for us, only based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. None of our processors has the right to use your Personal information beyond what is necessary to assist Us in making our work possible. When We cooperate with third parties and they process your personal data on our behalf, we make sure your personal data is being handled with the same integrity and security as We do. Based on the above, SessionStack stores personal data in the European Union and out of the EU, including in the United States of America, where some of our processors and subprocessors are based. After the Court of Justice of the EU abolished the EU-US Privacy Shield in July 2020, the USA are regarded as a third party not ensuring an adequate level of protection. Any transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area is done by us only under strict compliance with the GDPR. We ensure the third-party recipients in non-adequate countries conclude the EU standard contractual clauses (EU SCC) with us or follow appropriate safeguards pursuant to art. 46 GDPR. Sessionstack uses as Subprocessors and User personal data may be transferred to the providers of the following services:
- Customer relationship management;
- Email automation software;
- Email server;
- Payment gateway;
- Hosting services;
- Billing software services;
- Communications software;
- Survey software.
We may replace our processors from time to time following the above rules of strict selection.

If you file a privacy-related complaint, we will collect your name and/or company name, name of a complaint-related person, email, and country location and details that gave rise to your complaint.
