DeepL shares your data with outside companies it uses to run its services, such as cloud hosts and analytics tools, and says those companies are contractually required to follow DeepL's data handling rules.

This provision establishes the operational framework for DeepL's use of subprocessors, requiring contractual data protection obligations as a condition of third-party data access. The clause clarifies that data sharing with service providers occurs within defined processing parameters rather than for independent use by those providers.
Interpretive note: The specific subprocessors engaged by DeepL are not named in the policy, creating limited ability to independently assess the subprocessor chain without requesting supplementary documentation from DeepL.
Your personal data, including potentially account information and usage data, may be processed by DeepL's subprocessors such as cloud infrastructure and analytics providers. The policy asserts that these parties are contractually bound, but the specific subprocessors are not named in the policy text reviewed.

"We share your personal data with third-party service providers who help us operate our services, including cloud infrastructure providers, analytics providers, and payment processors. These providers are bound by data processing agreements and are only permitted to process your data in accordance with our instructions.— Excerpt from DeepL's DeepL Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Subprocessor disclosure and governance engages GDPR Article 28, which requires that processors only engage subprocessors with the controller's authorization and subject to equivalent data protection obligations. Failure to maintain an up-to-date subprocessor list or obtain prior authorization for new subprocessors is a common area of GDPR enforcement scrutiny. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy does not enumerate specific subprocessors, which is common but means customers cannot independently assess the risk profile of the subprocessor chain without requesting supplementary documentation. Enterprise customers relying on DeepL for processing of sensitive data should request a current subprocessor list and notification procedures for subprocessor changes. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA enterprise customers have the right under GDPR Article 28(2) to be informed of and object to new subprocessors. UK GDPR imposes equivalent requirements. For subprocessors located outside the EEA, transfer mechanism documentation (SCCs or adequacy decisions) is required. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise DPAs should include provisions requiring DeepL to notify customers of subprocessor changes within a defined period (typically 30 days) and providing a right to object. Customers should request and periodically review the subprocessor list as part of ongoing vendor management. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should ensure that the DPA with DeepL covers subprocessor change notification, the right to audit (or audit reports in lieu), and subprocessor liability. Data mapping records should reflect the subprocessor chain for DeepL-processed data.
