Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

If you are doing business in the EU, our terms of service include the Runn Data Processing Agreement. Working with external legal counsel we regularly update this document to be in compliance with GDPR and other generally acceptable privacy laws.

Runn sub-processors

As outlined in our DPA, we may use third party service providers to assist us with data processing activities. Where we act as a data processor, these third parties are known as sub-processors. You will find a list of our sub-processors, along with the reason for processing and where the data is held below. From time to time, we may need to add or remove a sub-processor if we feel it is necessary. If you would like to receive email updates about new sub-processors, you can opt in to sub-processor updates here.
