What companies are subprocessors to Khoros?
Data Location & Subprocessor Guide Khoros has offices in the USA, the EU, the UK, India and Australia. These offices may have access to customer personal data for support and engineering purposes. Khoros also uses subprocessors in its applications to help it perform certain Services. Suprocessors are third-party entities with whom Khoros contracts to perform these Services and who may process customers’ personal data. Khoros contractually requires its subprocessors to comply with security and data privacy standards that are at least as protective as those that Khoros commits to its customers. Specifically, as concerning European Union data privacy regulatory compliance, Khoros complies with the EC Standard Contractual Clauses and requires that those subprocessors that have access to Customer personal data also comply.
