The Wed Portal

Our providers.

To run The Wed Portal we rely on a handful of companies: the servers, photo storage, email delivery, payments. They process the data solely on our behalf and may never use it for their own purposes.

This page is what our legal documents call «the current list of providers»: the privacy policy, the notice studios hand to their own clients and the data processing agreement all point here. Anyone who wants to know where their data ends up can read it for themselves, without having to ask.

There are 10 providers. 9 of them process data outside the European Union.
