List of Processors and Recipients
As of 26 October 2026
This list supplements our Privacy Policy. It names all service providers that process personal data for Reelfox and states the purpose, the data, the legal basis and the safeguards for transfers outside the European Union. If the list changes, we update this page and the date above.
Roles: A processor processes data only on our instructions under a contract pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. An independent controller decides on purposes and means itself and has its own privacy policy.
Third countries: For the USA, the EU Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for companies certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Where a company is not certified, we base the transfer on the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914). We checked the information on DPF, Standard Contractual Clauses and training on 26 October 2026 against the providers' terms, data processing agreements and DPF statements.
