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.
