Subprocessors

The published copy, generated from docs/legal/publish/05-subprocessors.md. Every other Keyway document is linked at the bottom of this page.

This document is not in force yet.

It is a draft awaiting review, and it still carries 3 blanks that only the owner of the business can fill: [[EFFECTIVE DATE]], [[REGION]], [[PRIVACY EMAIL]].

It is published here so it can be read and corrected, not so it can be relied on. Nothing on this page is a contract until the blanks are filled and the review is signed off, and this notice disappears on the day the last blank is filled rather than when somebody remembers to remove it.

Keyway Subprocessor List

Effective date: [[EFFECTIVE DATE]] This schedule is referenced by the Privacy Policy and by the Data Processing Addendum.


1. How to read this

A subprocessor is a third party we engage that may handle data on our behalf. It is not the same as a service you connect with your own account and your own credential, and this schedule keeps the two apart, because in this product most of the second kind never becomes the first.

Which of these apply to you depends entirely on how you run Keyway.

If you runYour subprocessors
SoloStripe, for billing. Nothing else, by default
OfficeStripe, for billing. Nothing else, by default
HostedStripe, and our infrastructure providers in section 2

2. Subprocessors we engage

2.1 Every customer

SubprocessorWhat they doWhat they receiveWhere
Stripe, Inc.Payment processing, subscription billing, invoicingYour billing contact details and your card data, which you give to Stripe directly. Never your business content, never recordings, never transcriptsUnited States

2.2 Hosted residency only

Cloudflare, Inc.Edge network and TLS termination in front of the Hosted serviceTraffic in transit to and from the Hosted serviceUnited States

2.3 Model providers, if the vendor path is switched on

The product can reach a language or transcription model in three ways:

  1. On your own machine or network. No third party is involved. This is the default.
  2. A provider you configure with your own key. That provider is your supplier, not ours. Your contract is with them and your data reaches them on your instruction. See section 3.
  3. A provider we contract with, billed to you as vendor inference credits. That provider is a subprocessor, and it is named below.
SubprocessorWhat they doWhat they receiveWhere
[[INFERENCE PROVIDER, IF ANY]]Transcription or text generation for features you enableOnly the audio or text sent for that operation[[REGION]]

No vendor model provider is engaged at the date of this schedule. If one is engaged, this row is filled in and customers are notified under section 4 before it is used.


3. Services you connect, which are not our subprocessors

These handle your data because you connected them, using your account. They are listed so the picture is complete, not because we engage them.

ServiceWhy it appearsWhat it receives
Your Microsoft 365 or Google mailboxYou connected it so the product can send mail as your businessThe recipient's address and the message, delivered by your provider from your mailbox. Nothing is relayed through us and we keep no copy
Your model provider, where you supply the keyYou configured itOnly what you send for each operation
Your identity provider, if you use single sign-onYou configured itSign-in only

The distinction has a practical consequence. Because mail goes through your own provider, an outage, a retention policy or a legal request affecting your mail is a matter between you and your provider, and we are not a party to it.


4. Changes to this list

  • We will publish an updated version of this schedule before a new subprocessor begins handling customer data.
  • Hosted customers will be notified at least 30 days in advance, and may object in writing under the Data Processing Addendum.
  • Solo and Office customers are unaffected by additions to section 2.2, because those subprocessors handle nothing of theirs.
