DOCUMENT

Annex to the DPA: further processors

Who processes on our behalf under Art. 28 GDPR, for what, where — and on which basis for any transfer outside the EU. Recipients acting as their own controller are listed separately.

Status and changes

CURRENT VERSION

This is the current version of October 16, 2026. This address will always show exactly this text, even after a later change.

Version of 2026-10-16. The version that applies is the one both sides had when the contract was concluded.

This annex lists the recipients in full; it reads without any further page. The version is stated above and is the one agreed at the time of contracting.

It is split by role. Part A names the processors under Art. 28 GDPR — this contract applies to them. Part B names recipients that act as their own controller for that part; the contract does not apply there, and it says so. The general overview “Service providers and recipients” on our website lists both in one table and is not a contractual annex.

We announce a new or replaced direct processor at least 30 days before its engagement in text form and on the website; changes at further tiers are notified under section 7 of the agreement. You may object; section 7 governs what follows. How much notice a provider gives before a new further processor is stated for each entry below.

A. Processors under Art. 28 GDPR

These recipients process on our behalf and on our instructions. This annex applies to them, and a contract under Art. 28 GDPR is in place for each.

Google Cloud EMEA Limited

  • Purpose: Operation of the application, database, secret management, scheduling, load balancing and TLS
  • Role: Processor (Art. 28 GDPR)
  • Place of processing: EU – europe-west3 (Frankfurt); separately, administration and system logs of the cloud platform in global logging buckets of the provider that cannot be moved to a region (up to 400 days; a further global bucket with seven days, to which the application logs are not written)
  • Contracting party: Google Cloud EMEA Limited, Velasco, Clanwilliam Place, Dublin 2, Ireland
  • Possible access from outside the EU: Administration and support by group companies outside the EU are technically possible

  • Contracting party: Google Cloud EMEA Limited, Velasco, Clanwilliam Place, Dublin 2, Ireland
  • Possible access from outside the EU: Administration and support by group companies outside the EU are technically possible

  • Place of processing: EU – europe-west3 (Frankfurt)
  • Contracting party: Google Cloud EMEA Limited, Velasco, Clanwilliam Place, Dublin 2, Ireland
  • Possible access from outside the EU: Administration and support by group companies outside the EU are technically possible
  • Basis for the transfer: EU–US adequacy decision (EU-US Data Privacy Framework) to the extent of the recipient’s certification; in addition, and for companies that are not certified, EU standard contractual clauses. A copy of the safeguards is available via privacy@metrunio.com
  • Notice of new further processors according to the provider: at least 30 days before a new further processor processes data (Cloud Data Processing Addendum, section 11.4 a)

Google Workspace

  • Purpose: Mailbox for support, contract and data-subject requests; sending of system mails, including reports and alerts containing client data in the body and as attachments, with a copy under “Sent”; measurement data only where it appears in that correspondence or in those mails
  • Role: Processor (Art. 28 GDPR)
  • Place of processing: Data region Europe, set by policy on 18 September 2026; exceptions for logs and cache and the migration status remain to be evidenced
  • Contracting party: Google Cloud EMEA Limited, Velasco, Clanwilliam Place, Dublin 2, Ireland
  • Possible access from outside the EU: Administration and support by group companies outside the EU are technically possible
  • Basis for the transfer: EU–US adequacy decision (EU-US Data Privacy Framework) to the extent of the recipient’s certification; in addition, and for companies that are not certified, EU standard contractual clauses. A copy of the safeguards is available via privacy@metrunio.com
  • Notice of new further processors according to the provider: at least 30 days before a new further processor processes data (Data Processing Amendment for Google Workspace, section 11.4 a)

Brevo (Brevo GmbH / Sendinblue SAS)

  • Purpose: Sending our newsletter; for a transition period, receiving inbound support mail. System and support e-mails have been sent via Google Workspace since 1 October 2026
  • Role: Processor (Art. 28 GDPR)
  • Place of processing: EU – France and Germany (OVH), Belgium (Google Cloud)
  • Contracting party: Brevo GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany – under Brevo’s terms for customers based in Germany; parent company Sendinblue SAS, 17 rue de Salneuve, 75017 Paris, France
  • Possible access from outside the EU: Customer support and maintenance by Brevo group companies in India, the US and Canada; content delivery network and web application firewall (Cloudflare), ticketing (Zendesk) and dashboards (Omni) by providers based in the US
  • Basis for the transfer: EU standard contractual clauses with supplementary measures; for the US additionally the EU–US adequacy decision (Data Privacy Framework); for Canada the adequacy decision
  • Scope on the client’s behalf: The only thing we still actively send via Brevo is our newsletter, as our own processing without data from your engagement; support e-mails and system e-mails with measurement results, such as weekly and monthly reports with a CSV attachment, have gone via Google Workspace since 1 October 2026. On behalf of our customers, Brevo therefore only processes two things: inbound support e-mails, which for a transition period are also received through the Brevo inbound route until we switch it off, insofar as they contain data from the engagement; and copies and logs of support and system e-mails from before the switch that may still exist at Brevo. Aggregated metrics in them too can allow conclusions about individual persons where case numbers are small. Brevo is removed from this annex once the inbound route is switched off and the deletion of these holdings at Brevo is completed and evidenced
  • Notice of new further processors according to the provider: before engagement, without a fixed period (data protection agreement, section 7.3). The DPA rule for sub-processors without secured notice therefore applies: from receipt of a notice, we switch off the Brevo inbound route for support e-mails, insofar as it still exists, and delete there what Brevo’s interfaces allow

B. Recipients that do not process on our behalf

They receive data but follow their own statutory duties, and to that extent not our instructions. A processing agreement is not the right paper for that part. They are listed here regardless, because a list naming only one half suggests there is no other.

None at present.

What is explicitly not included

Advertising platforms are not processors. A transfer to them takes place only if the tenant explicitly switches on conversion forwarding — and then as processing in its own right, in joint or separate controllership depending on the platform.

Recipients the client determines itself, such as the target of a webhook, a Slack or Teams channel, a connected AI tool or the CRM its forms send to, do not become our further processors through its instruction.

Services from which the contractor, on the client’s instruction, retrieves costs and metrics with the client’s credentials, such as ad accounts, further cost sources such as releva.nz, a shared spreadsheet, email platforms such as Klaviyo or Brevo and the client’s Google Search Console, are providers of the client and do not thereby become our further processors. Where the contractor reads the client’s Brevo account with the client’s key, Brevo is to that extent a provider of the client; as our processor under part A, Brevo acts only to the extent described there.

Stripe handles only our own billing with you and receives no data from the processing on your behalf. It is therefore not listed in this annex but in the overview “Service providers and recipients” and in our privacy notice.

For our own in-house analysis we use no tool that touches our customers’ data.

VERSIONS

All versions

Every version stays available under its date, permanently and unchanged; the confirmation email sent after a contract is concluded in the portal or through the Shopify app links to these addresses, and the portal keeps the agreed wording itself.
