List of Sub-processors

As of: 23.10.2026 Processor: Sat-iTec Systemhaus GmbH Platform: ChatiTec


1. Principle: only anonymised data to external AI providers

Before content is transmitted to external AI providers, personal data and professional secrets are automatically anonymised (PII tokenisation). This anonymisation is enforced by default (PII_FORCE_FOR_EXTERNAL=true). Consequently, exclusively anonymised content without identifying plain-text personal data is transmitted to the external sub-processors listed below. Re-mapping of the placeholders is only possible locally (Fernet-encrypted) on the German infrastructure.

Transfer-free alternative: When purely local models (Ollama/vLLM) are used, no external sub-processors are engaged; there is no data transfer to third parties and no transfer to third countries.


2. External AI sub-processors in active use

No. Sub-processor Purpose of processing Data processed Location / third country Transfer mechanism (Chapter V GDPR)

Note on the transfer mechanism: The decisive factor is the contractual basis of the specific provider in force at the relevant time. For US providers, the EU standard contractual clauses pursuant to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 are primarily relevant; where the provider is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and an adequacy decision is applicable, this may also be relied upon. Whether this information is up to date is to be reviewed regularly.
