What is a subprocessor?
A subprocessor is a third party that ThinkingEngine engages to process personal data on its behalf. When ThinkingEngine uses a subprocessor, it does so only under a data processing agreement that requires the subprocessor to protect the data to the same standard as ThinkingEngine.
Teachers should treat this list as a reference for infrastructure that handles student dialogue data, session transcripts, and teacher account information.
