Sub-processors
Last updated: October 2026.
Aclamos uses the third-party services below to deliver the platform. We notify Customers of sub-processor changes at least 30 days in advance via email and via the public changelog. Customers may object during that window; we will work in good faith to provide an alternative or, failing that, allow termination per the DPA.
To subscribe to sub-processor change notifications email dpa@aclamos.app.

Categories of recipients
Beyond sub-processors, Aclamos may also share Customer Data with: (a) authorized employees and contractors of Aclamos who need it to provide the Services; (b) the Customer's own users (e.g. judges seeing nominations); (c) law enforcement or courts as required by law, with notice to the Customer where permitted; (d) acquirers in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets, subject to the same protections.
International transfers
Where Customer Data is transferred from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to the United States or another non-adequate country, Aclamos relies on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (2021, Module 2) and, where applicable, the UK Addendum and the EU-US / Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework.
