Subprocessors

Third parties that process personal data on Lua's behalf

Version 1.3July 22, 2026

Effective date: 2026-07-22 Last updated: 2026-07-22

This page lists every third party that processes personal data on Lua's behalf in connection with the Lua platform and the Lua corporate operation. We publish this list to comply with GDPR Article 28(2) and the parallel commitment in our customer Data Processing Agreements (DPAs).

If you process personal data through Lua as a controller, this is the list of "subprocessors" your DPA refers to.


1. What is a subprocessor?

A subprocessor is a third party that Lua engages to help us deliver the Lua service and that, in the course of doing so, processes personal data on behalf of our customers (where Lua acts as processor) or on behalf of Lua itself (where Lua acts as controller).

Some entries on this list are subprocessors only in the GDPR-Art.-28 sense — they process customer-controlled personal data on customers' instructions. Others are also Lua's own data processors — they process personal data Lua itself controls (employees, leads, account billing contacts, security logs). We have flagged the role of each entry in the tables below to keep the picture honest.

Where a customer connects an agent to the customer's own third-party account (for example the customer's own commerce platform, support inbox, cloud LLM subscription, or booking system), that provider processes data on the customer's instructions under the customer's own agreement with it, and is not listed here as a Lua subprocessor.

This list is the authoritative public record of Lua's subprocessors. It is updated whenever a subprocessor changes and reviewed at least quarterly.


2. Our notification commitment

When we onboard a new subprocessor that will process customer personal data, we will give existing customers at least 30 days' written notice before the new subprocessor begins processing. Within that window, customers have the right to object to the change. If we cannot resolve the objection in a way that is acceptable to both parties, the customer may terminate the affected portion of the service in accordance with their contract.

Notification mechanism:

  • Primary channel: email to the customer's designated DPA contact.
  • Public channel: updates to this list at https://heylua.ai/legal/subprocessors.
  • Subscribe to updates: email [email protected] with the subject "Subprocessor notifications" to be added to the notification distribution.

Material changes to this list are also recorded in the revision history at the foot of this page.


3. Customer-data subprocessors (Lua as processor)

These subprocessors process personal data that customers send into the Lua platform — principally agent conversation content (text and voice), channel message traffic, indexed RAG content, and end-user identifiers where customers route their end-users through Lua's auth layer. Lua is a processor for these activities under GDPR Article 28; our customers are the controllers.

5. How we manage subprocessors

Every subprocessor on this list is engaged under a written Data Processing Agreement that incorporates the applicable cross-border transfer mechanisms, and completes a security and privacy review before it processes personal data on Lua's behalf — except where this list states otherwise for a specific processor (for example, a processor that is being discontinued, or one for which the applicable cross-border transfer safeguards are still being executed). Subprocessors are re-reviewed on a recurring cadence, and this list is updated whenever a subprocessor changes.

1.02026-05-18Initial version.
1.12026-07-22Link and reference hygiene for public publication.
1.22026-07-22Register reconciliation: added model-provider, voice, messaging-channel, document-processing, commerce, identity, observability, and website entries; removed engineering-tooling entries that do not process customer or end-user personal data; clarified the treatment of customer-connected accounts; consolidated table columns; single effective date.
1.32026-07-22Transfer-safeguard accuracy corrections: stated the transfer-mechanism position for DeepSeek and Moonshot AI as Standard Contractual Clauses (EU) + UK Addendum under execution with the provider (completion tracked internally); marked Whapi.Cloud as being discontinued with no valid transfer mechanism in place (migration to the official WhatsApp provider); aligned the Alibaba Cloud (Qwen) mechanism detail to the transfer assessment; added a §5 carve-out so the management statement does not overclaim for these rows. DeepSeek/Moonshot transfer-safeguard status corrected to 'under execution' (DPA/SCC execution is the remediation).
