Subprocessors and infrastructure

Transparency · last verified: 1 September 2026

Every serious DPP buyer asks the same thing: where does my data physically live, and which third parties does it pass through. Here is the exact answer — no marketing.

Where the platform's data lives

The entire DPP platform runs on Amazon Web Services in the Frankfurt, Germany region (eu-central-1) — data is stored in the European Union. The architecture is fully serverless: we operate no servers of our own.

  • Databases have point-in-time recovery (PITR) enabled for the last 35 days.
  • File storage is versioned — deleted objects can be restored.
  • Encryption at rest and in transit; key management via AWS KMS.
  • Public passports are cached on CDN edges in Europe and North America; storage stays in the EU.
  • The whole infrastructure is defined as code (Terraform) and reproducible.

What happens to passports when something fails

Our full commitments — what happens to passports when a contract ends, when you switch providers, and on cessation of activity — are published on the “Portability and continuity” page. All data can be exported at any time in open formats (JSON-LD).

This page is updated whenever a provider or the infrastructure changes. Last verified: 1 September 2026.

What buyers verify

Due-diligence questions

On Amazon Web Services in the Frankfurt region (eu-central-1), inside the European Union. The architecture is fully serverless — we run no servers of our own. Databases have point-in-time recovery for the last 35 days, file storage is versioned, and everything is encrypted at rest and in transit with keys managed in AWS KMS. Public passports are cached on CDN edges in Europe and North America; the storage itself stays in the EU.

In practice, one: AWS. Everything else in the table is a website tool — Vercel, Sanity, Google Tag Manager and Analytics, Calendly, Jotform, Upstash — and none of them has access to passport data; they run this marketing site. A machine-translation provider is used for automatic content translation only at the customer's request, and that row is still being confirmed rather than quietly left blank.

The contracting entity is Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL in Luxembourg, under the AWS Data Processing Addendum plus Standard Contractual Clauses. The platform is developed and operated under an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified information security management system — certificate BG2026030401, issued by INCERT, valid from 4 March 2026 to 3 March 2029 — which you can verify with the certification body and in the international IAF CertSearch database.

The page carries a last-verified date at the top and is updated whenever a provider or the infrastructure changes; it is not an annual exercise. For a formal file, write to us: we provide the certificate, its scope and further documentation under a confidentiality agreement.
