Subprocessors — tracking your third-party data processors

Add processors from the library or by hand, edit regions and DPA URLs, and keep your Privacy Policy and DPA in sync.

A subprocessor is any third party your business engages to process personal data on your behalf — your hosting provider, email delivery service, analytics platform, support tool. You are legally required to list them in your Privacy Policy under [GDPR art. 13(1)(e)] and to include them in your DPA under [GDPR art. 28(3)(d)].

miniterms tracks your subprocessors separately from your documents so you can update the list without regenerating everything from scratch.

Adding from the library

The library contains pre-filled entries for common tools: Vercel, Upstash, Resend, Stripe, Cloudflare, Google Analytics, Plausible, Crisp, and others. Each entry includes a verified DPA URL and the vendor's data residency region.

  1. Open Subprocessors in the sidebar.
  2. Click Browse library.
  3. Entries are grouped by category (Hosting, Email, Analytics, Payments, Support, Other). Use the search box to filter by name.
  4. Click Add on any entry. It moves to your active list.

Library entries are pre-filled templates. After adding, you can edit the region or DPA URL if you have a custom agreement with that vendor.

Adding a custom entry

For tools not in the library, or internal systems acting as processors:

  1. Click Add custom.
  2. Fill in: Name, Purpose (what personal data they process and why), Region (where their infrastructure is), DPA URL (link to their data processing terms).
  3. Pick a Category: Hosting, Email, Payments, Analytics, Support, Other.
  4. Save.

Editing

Click Edit on any row in the active list. Change any field and save. A regenerate prompt appears on the Documents page after you save changes — regenerating picks up the updated subprocessor list.

Removing

Click Remove on the row. Only remove a subprocessor you have genuinely stopped using — removing an active service would make your Privacy Policy incorrect.

Suggested additions

On first load, miniterms may suggest common subprocessors based on typical setups. These are optional suggestions; click Add to accept or ignore them.
