What it is

The document discloses that Unity uses sub-processors, defined as third-party companies that handle personal data on Unity's behalf, and that the current sub-processor list is incorporated by reference into the DPA rather than reproduced inline.

This analysis describes what Unity's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
