Processors and subprocessors
- Stripe for payments
- Cloudflare for DNS, CDN and security
- RunCloud for provisioning and server management

Retention
We do not keep data longer than needed for the purposes for which it was collected, unless legal duties require a longer retention period.
Invoice and administration data is kept as long as required for tax and administration duties. Account, support, domain and hosting data is kept while the customer relationship exists and afterwards as needed for handling, security, evidence or legal duties.
Backups are made daily and kept for 7 days. After termination, a service may be deleted under the termination policy in the terms.
International transfers
Some suppliers may process data outside the European Economic Area. In that case, appropriate safeguards must apply, such as standard contractual clauses or other GDPR mechanisms.
TODO: legally review international transfers per supplier, including Stripe, Cloudflare, RunCloud, Blesta, Openprovider and future subprocessors.

Security and contact
HostingGY uses appropriate measures such as HTTPS, access control, server security, DNS/CDN security and logging.
DNS, CDN and security run through Cloudflare. Provisioning and server management run through RunCloud. Hosting infrastructure runs on Hetzner in Germany/Europe. Backups are made daily and kept for 7 days. Restore is best effort on request; restore is free after a platform fault, while customer-caused restore work may involve support costs.
