Subprocessors

StudioFlow uses a small number of third-party services to run the product. This page lists every one of them, what it does, and where it is located — including the ones based outside the EU, because a subprocessor list that only mentions the convenient ones is worse than none.

The application and the database — where your clients, projects, documents and invoices live — run at Hetzner in Germany, and your uploaded files, galleries and backups sit in Backblaze B2’s EU region in the Netherlands. Application, database and your files are therefore hosted in the EU.

Two things are not: transactional email and payments use US providers under GDPR safeguards. Email to your clients is delivered via Resend in the US, which retains message content for up to 30 days under its standard retention policy. Both are in the table below, and neither is quietly folded into the sentence above.
