This provision establishes a general authorization mechanism for sub-processor data access, meaning customers do not provide separate, per-Sub-Processor approval at the time each Sub-Processor is engaged. Under GDPR Article 28(2), general written authorization for sub-processors is permitted, but the controller must be informed of intended sub-processor changes and retain the ability to object; whether HubSpot's DPA implements that objection right is not addressed in this document.
This provision establishes that agreeing to HubSpot's DPA constitutes advance consent to infrastructure Sub-Processors and all fifteen HubSpot affiliate entities accessing Customer Data across locations including the US, EU, Australia, Canada, Singapore, India, Japan, Colombia, Sweden, France, the UK, Belgium, Spain, and the Netherlands. Customers seeking to limit data access to specific Sub-Processors should review the HubSpot DPA to assess available contractual mechanisms.

"By agreeing to the DPA, you agree all of these Sub-Processors may have access to Customer Data.Excerpt from HubSpot's Sub-Processors
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages GDPR Article 28(2), which permits controllers to grant general written authorization to processors to engage sub-processors, provided the processor informs the controller of intended additions or replacements and the controller retains a right to object. Equivalent provisions apply under UK GDPR and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection. The Irish Data Protection Commission is HubSpot's lead supervisory authority for EU processing. The provision does not itself address what transfer mechanisms apply to Sub-Processor locations outside the EEA, which implicates GDPR Chapter V and equivalent cross-border transfer obligations. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The blanket advance consent structure covers a wide set of Sub-Processors across multiple jurisdictions, including countries without EU adequacy decisions (Singapore, India, Japan, Colombia). Without reviewing the DPA and associated Standard Contractual Clauses or other transfer mechanisms, compliance teams cannot confirm whether all Sub-Processor data flows are covered by appropriate safeguards. The affiliate list includes fifteen entities, meaning Customer Data may be processed by HubSpot group companies in jurisdictions subject to varying data protection regimes. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA customers face the highest exposure, as GDPR Article 28 requires documented sub-processor authorization and transfer safeguards. UK customers are subject to UK GDPR equivalents. Transfers to HubSpot Asia Pte. Ltd. (Singapore), HubSpot India Private Limited (India), HubSpot Japan KK (Japan), and HubSpot Latin America S.A.S. (Colombia) require evaluation against applicable cross-border transfer mechanisms, as none of these countries holds a current EU adequacy decision (Singapore and Japan have partial or sector-specific arrangements that may require case-by-case assessment). (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement and legal teams reviewing HubSpot as a data processor should confirm that the DPA includes general authorization language consistent with GDPR Article 28(2), that Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms are in place for all non-EEA Sub-Processor locations, and that the DPA preserves a contractual right to object to new Sub-Processors. The document does not address indemnification or liability allocation in the event a Sub-Processor causes a data breach or compliance failure. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Teams should update their data processing records (Article 30 records of processing activities) to reflect the full Sub-Processor list, including affiliate entities. Transfer impact assessments may be required for Sub-Processor locations in Singapore, India, Japan, and Colombia. Customers should confirm whether their internal data protection impact assessment processes are triggered by the Sub-Processor scope disclosed here.
