We work with carefully selected sub-processors. A data processing agreement (DPA) with EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) is in place with each sub-processor where applicable. The current list:
Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) - CDN, WAF, DDoS protection. Processes IP addresses and request metadata. DPA with SCCs; certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Cloudflare EU data localization suite enabled where active.
Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. (Ireland) - subscription payments, card processing and Stripe Connect (salon payments). PCI-DSS Level 1 certified. Processes payment details under its own privacy policy; Salonnare never sees full card numbers.
Mollie B.V. (Netherlands) - alternative payment provider for salon payments via Mollie Connect (iDEAL, Bancontact, SEPA). Processor under Dutch law.
SumUp Limited (Ireland) - card payments via SumUp terminal, optional per salon tenant. Processes transaction amount, payment status and terminal ID; card data is encrypted by SumUp. PCI-DSS certified.
Resend, Inc. (USA) - transactional email (confirmations, invoices, password reset). DPA with SCCs; sending servers in the EU where possible.
Anthropic, PBC (USA) - AI help with mapping columns in an import file. Optional: only when the salon itself clicks "Let the AI suggest a mapping". Column names and a type profile per column (for example "email address" or "date") are sent. For client files no value from the file is sent; for product and service files three sample rows from which email addresses, phone numbers, IBANs, postcodes, old dates and free text longer than 40 characters have been removed. A file without a header row is not sent to the AI. Anthropic does not use this data to train models and deletes it within 30 days; only a request flagged by Anthropic's automated safety checks may be kept for up to 2 years. Stored in the USA; the processing itself may also take place in other countries outside the EEA. Anthropic is not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; transfer based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (module 3) in Anthropic's data processing addendum.
