Data Transfer Safeguards

EU-Based Sub-Processors

Supabase, Google Cloud, Cloudflare, Temporal, and Shufti Pro process data within EU/EEA jurisdictions. No additional transfer safeguards required.

USA-Based Sub-Processors (Anthropic, Groq)

Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) per Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 are in place. Supplementary measures include:

Biometric Data (Shufti Pro)

Shufti Pro processes biometric data (GDPR Article 9 special category) exclusively within EU/EEA data centers. EU-only processing and storage confirmed in writing by Shufti Compliance (2026-04-02) and contractually embedded in the Shufti DPA addendum. Underlying infrastructure (Google Cloud) is locked to EEA regions only. Sub-processor Programmers Force (Pakistan) is not applicable to the Lifetime Oy account under EU-only mode. Biometric data is deleted after verification completion per agreed retention schedule.

Vendor verification: Shufti Pro Limited (UK Companies House #11039567) verified active. DPA signatory Stephen Ullman confirmed as director (ICAEW chartered accountant). Company filings current. LEI: 984500AF891013CE9D42. Clause-by-clause DPA audit completed April 2026.

Accuracy trade-off (transparency note): Under EU-only mode, Shufti does not perform model training on Lifetime Oy customer data and does not route uncertain verifications to non-EU manual reviewers. ML training prohibition is contractually binding (DPA addendum Clause 6). Lifetime Oy accepts this trade-off in favour of full EU data sovereignty, and maintains an internal secondary verification layer to handle borderline cases.

Change Notification

Per DPA Article 7.4: Lifetime Oy will notify customers 30 days in advance of any changes to this sub-processor list. Customers may raise objections if the change is contrary to Data Protection Regulations.
