AmeChat is the controller of your personal data. This page lists the third parties we engage to process that data on our behalf ("processors") when you use AmeChat. Each acts only on our documented instructions under a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR). Where a processor in turn relies on its own providers ("sub-processors"), the notable ones are noted in the tables below. A small number of recipients are not processors — the advertising platforms with which we act as joint controllers (Art. 26 GDPR), listed separately below. This page complements Section 6 of our Privacy Policy, which explains how and why we share data.
Where a provider is located outside the EU/EEA, transfers are protected by an adequacy decision (the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, "DPF") where the provider is certified, and/or by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCCs").

AI inference providers
Content is sent to an AI provider only when you invoke the AI (see Privacy Policy Section 5.1). By contract, these providers do not train on your content and do not disclose it; inputs/outputs may be retained for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, then deleted.
| Provider | Function | Location | Transfer mechanism |

Push payloads are minimised. Resend relies on Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its own sub-processor for email delivery infrastructure.
Payments
| Provider | Function | Location | Transfer mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. — 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Dublin, Ireland (affiliate: Stripe, Inc., USA) | Payment processing for subscriptions and credit packs purchased on our website | Ireland (EU); US via Stripe, Inc. | DPF (Stripe, Inc. certified) + SCCs |
| Apple Distribution International Ltd. — Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland (affiliate: Apple Inc., USA) | Purchases made inside our iOS app. Apple is the merchant of record: it takes payment, issues receipts, and handles refunds and billing enquiries under its own privacy policy | Ireland (EU); US within the Apple group | DPF (Apple Inc. certified) + SCCs |
Payment providers act as independent controllers for executing the payment and for fraud prevention, under their own privacy policies. Your card details never reach us: we receive only the transaction and subscription status we need to activate your plan.
Diagnostics and crash reporting
When our apps crash or hit a serious error, they send us a technical report so we can find and fix the fault. Reports are minimised before they leave your device and are not intended to carry the content of your conversations (see Privacy Policy Section 2.4).
| Provider | Function | Location | Transfer mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|
| Functional Software, Inc. d/b/a Sentry — 45 Fremont Street, 8th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA | Crash and error reporting for our apps: stack traces, app version and build, device model, operating system version, and the technical events preceding a failure | Report data is stored in Sentry's EU region (Frankfurt, Germany); our own account and organisation metadata are held in the USA | DPF (certified) + SCCs |
Website analytics and advertising
These providers process data from our website to measure traffic and, where you consent, to measure and improve our advertising. Analytics and marketing cookies run only with your consent (see Privacy Policy Section 9.2). Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless and runs on our legitimate interest, without setting cookies or identifiers on your device.
Processors
| Provider | Function | Location | Transfer mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Ireland Limited — Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (sub-processor: Google LLC, USA) | Website analytics (Google Analytics 4), subject to consent | Ireland (EU); US via Google LLC | DPF (Google LLC certified) + SCCs |
| Cloudflare, Inc. — 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA | Cookieless website analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics) — aggregate traffic and page performance | Global network | DPF (certified) + SCCs |
Joint controllers
For advertising measurement and retargeting, these platforms determine the purposes of that specific processing together with us, so we act as joint controllers under Art. 26 GDPR rather than as controller and processor. This runs only with your consent and never involves the content of your conversations.

|---|---|---|---|
| Google Ireland Limited — Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (sub-processor: Google LLC, USA) | Advertising measurement and conversion tracking (Google Ads), subject to consent | Ireland (EU); US via Google LLC | DPF (Google LLC certified) + SCCs |
