Subprocessors

Last updated on

This page summarises material suppliers and subprocessors that support the Patient Watch service. It is intended to help organisational customers with due diligence, data protection impact assessments, and supplier records.

The exact suppliers used for a deployment may depend on the product configuration, notification channels, customer contract, region, and programme design. Where Patient Watch acts as a processor, the relevant controller remains responsible for deciding whether the listed suppliers are acceptable for its deployment.

Core service subprocessors

Supplier Service Typical personal data involvement
Supabase Database, authentication, and storage Account data, authentication metadata, questionnaire responses, diary entries, clinical or health-related content, and configured programme data
Vercel Web application hosting and edge delivery Hosting and delivery layer for the web application; may process technical request metadata

Patient Watch Ltd holds a customer-signed Data Processing Addendum with Supabase for the core hosting path, and retains Supabase’s Transfer Impact Assessment documentation for international-transfer diligence. Organisational customers may request a summary or extract of that diligence pack through the agreed contracting channel.

Communication and notification subprocessors

Supplier Service Typical personal data involvement
Resend Transactional email API Email addresses, message metadata, and transactional notification content
Knock Notification workflows Notification preferences, workflow metadata, and delivery metadata
Twilio SMS and voice messaging Phone numbers, message metadata, and SMS or voice delivery data

Operational support suppliers

Supplier Service Typical personal data involvement
Google Workspace Business email, calendar, and collaboration Limited business communication data; not the primary patient record system
Stripe Payments Billing identifiers and payment metadata where paid services are used
Sentry Application error and release health monitoring Technical error context; events are configured to reduce sensitive content
Better Stack Status page, uptime monitoring, and incident communications Limited technical or contact metadata in monitoring and status workflows

Controls

Patient Watch maintains an internal supplier register that records the service provided, whether the supplier handles personal data, criticality, contract basis, assurance reviewed, and review dates.

Where a supplier acts as a processor or subprocessor, Patient Watch expects written terms or online data processing terms that include confidentiality, security, data protection, and incident-notification obligations appropriate to the service. For material hosts such as Supabase, this includes an executed Data Processing Addendum rather than reliance on browse-wrap terms alone.

We review material suppliers at least annually and when a material supplier, contract basis, service, or data-protection position changes.

Changes

Where we intend to add or replace a subprocessor in a way that materially affects processing for an organisational customer, we provide reasonable prior notice through the agreed customer channel so the controller can raise reasonable data-protection-based objections.
