Flinque Sub-processor List
The short version, so you know who processes data on our behalf
Flinque uses carefully selected sub-processors to deliver our influencer marketing platform. Each sub-processor has been vetted for security and data protection practices, and each is bound by contractual commitments that mirror our own. This page lists our current sub-processors, their purpose, where they process data, and the safeguards in place.
Enterprise customers can subscribe to notifications when we add or change sub-processors. We provide at least 30 days advance notice for new sub-processors, and Enterprise customers can object on reasonable data protection grounds.
To subscribe to sub-processor change notifications, use the contact page with category “Sub-processor Notifications”.

1. About Our Sub-processors
Sub-processors are third-party service providers that process personal data on behalf of Flinque to help us deliver the Flinque influencer marketing platform.
Our approach to sub-processors:
- Necessity-based: we only use sub-processors where they are necessary for service delivery or security
- Vetted: each sub-processor is assessed for security, data protection, and commercial suitability before engagement
- Bound by contract: each sub-processor has contractual obligations that reflect our own data protection commitments
- Monitored: we continuously monitor sub-processor performance, security posture, and compliance
- Transparent: this page discloses all sub-processors with access to personal data
This list works with our Data Processing Agreement, Data Privacy Policy, and GDPR Compliance policies.
2. Sub-processor Categories
We organize our sub-processors into 9 functional categories. Each category has its own data access scope and security requirements.
Specific vendors within each category are detailed in Sections 3 through 11.
3. Infrastructure and Hosting
Infrastructure providers host our application, databases, and storage. They are our most critical sub-processors.
Primary data is stored in US regions with appropriate international transfer safeguards. Enterprise customers can request regional storage options.
4. Payment Processing
Payment processors handle billing, invoicing, and payment card processing. Flinque never stores raw card data; all payment credentials are tokenized by our processor.
5. Email Delivery
Email providers deliver transactional emails (account notifications, password resets, billing) and marketing communications.
6. Customer Support Tools
Support tools enable us to respond to customer inquiries, manage tickets, and maintain knowledge base resources.
7. Analytics and Monitoring
Analytics and monitoring tools help us understand platform usage, detect issues, and improve performance.
8. AI and Machine Learning Providers
AI and ML providers power specific Flinque features including Campaign IQ, Outreach Assistant, and scoring algorithms.
All AI providers are contractually prohibited from using our data to train their general-purpose models.
For more on our AI approach, see our AI Usage Policy.
9. Data Sources for Creator Profiles
Creator data sources provide the public social media data that populates our creator directory.
10. Security and Compliance Tools
Security tools protect our platform and enable compliance with data protection requirements.
11. Marketing and Sales Tools
Marketing and sales tools support prospect engagement, customer relationship management, and campaign execution.
12. Sub-processor Due Diligence
Before engaging any sub-processor, we conduct documented due diligence.
12.1 Assessment criteria
- Security certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS where applicable)

- Geographic location of processing and transfer safeguards
- Business continuity and operational stability

12.2 Contractual requirements
Every sub-processor must agree to:
- Process personal data only for specified purposes
- Maintain appropriate Technical and Organizational Measures
- Ensure personnel confidentiality

12.3 Ongoing monitoring
We monitor sub-processors throughout the relationship including periodic reviews, incident monitoring, and re-evaluation when vendor circumstances change.
