Subprocessors

Third-party providers that process personal data for CommerceShip, covering infrastructure, AI, communications, and carrier integration partners.

Last updated

1. About this page

This page lists the third-party service providers (each, a "subprocessor") that Brave River Inc. d/b/a CommerceShip engages to process personal data on behalf of CommerceShip and its customers in connection with the Services. CommerceShip enters into written agreements with each subprocessor that include data-protection commitments substantially similar to those CommerceShip provides to its customers, including, where applicable, the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the United Kingdom International Data Transfer Addendum for cross-border transfers.

Subprocessors are grouped into two sections: Section 2 lists service-provider subprocessors that are always engaged in the operation of the Services; Section 3 lists integration subprocessors that are engaged when a Customer activates an integration with a third-party system (e.g., a carrier, e-commerce store, marketplace, warehouse management system, or order management system). In both cases, the listed entities are subprocessors of CommerceShip; the distinction is operational (always-on vs. activated by Customer) rather than legal.

Customers entitled to advance notice of subprocessor changes under their Data Processing Agreement may subscribe to receive notifications by emailing privacy@commerceship.com. Where required, CommerceShip will provide notice of new subprocessors in accordance with the timing set out in the applicable Data Processing Agreement.

2. Service-provider subprocessors

The following subprocessors support the operation, security, and delivery of the Services and are engaged regardless of which integrations a Customer activates. Categories of personal data each subprocessor may process are described at a high level; specific data categories depend on Customer's use of the Services.

3. Integration subprocessors

The following subprocessors are engaged when a Customer activates an integration with a third-party system. The Customer authorizes data flow to or from each such system by enabling the integration; CommerceShip transmits personal data necessary to operate the integration. Each integration partner processes that data subject to its own privacy practices. Sub-sections below are organized by category; the Customer's use determines which integrations apply.
