Sub-Processors
Particularly uses the following third-party service providers (sub-processors) to operate our service. This page provides transparency about who processes your data, what data they process, and why.
Last updated: January 1, 2025
Overview
We carefully select sub-processors that meet our security and privacy standards. Each sub-processor is contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify. We regularly review our sub-processors to ensure they maintain appropriate security practices.
| Provider | Category | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vercel | Infrastructure | Web Hosting and Deployment | United States (Global Edge Network) |
| Vercel Analytics | Analytics | Web Analytics and Usage Statistics | United States |
| Vercel Speed Insights | Analytics | Performance Monitoring and Speed Metrics | United States |
Infrastructure
Vercel hosts and deploys our web application. When you access Particularly, your requests are routed through Vercel's global edge network. Vercel processes standard web server logs including IP addresses and user agent strings for security and performance optimization. We use Vercel's built-in DDoS protection and SSL/TLS encryption. Query data (URLs, domains, IPs) submitted through our diagnostic tools passes through Vercel's infrastructure but is not stored by Vercel.
Data Processed
- HTTP request logs (IP addresses, user agents, URLs)
- Performance metrics and error logs
- Edge function execution data
- Query parameters and request payloads
Analytics
Vercel Analytics provides privacy-friendly web analytics for Particularly. It collects aggregated, anonymized usage statistics to help us understand how visitors use our service. Vercel Analytics does not use cookies, does not track individual users across sites, and complies with GDPR and CCPA. All data is aggregated and anonymized. We use this data to improve our service and understand which tools are most popular.
Data Processed
- Page views and navigation paths
- Browser type and device information
- Geographic location (country-level)
- Referrer information
- Performance metrics (Core Web Vitals)
Vercel Speed Insights monitors real user performance metrics to help us optimize Particularly's speed and user experience. It collects Core Web Vitals and other performance data from actual user visits. All data is aggregated and anonymized. Speed Insights does not use cookies and does not track individual users. We use this data to identify performance bottlenecks and ensure our service remains fast for all users.
Data Processed
- Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS)
- Page load times
- Performance metrics
- Browser and device information
- Network conditions
Data Processing Notes
Particularly processes diagnostic queries (URLs, domains, IP addresses) in real-time and does not store query results long-term. Most diagnostic operations use built-in Node.js APIs (DNS resolution, network operations) and do not involve third-party sub-processors beyond our hosting infrastructure and analytics services.
When you submit a query through our tools, the data passes through our hosting infrastructure (Vercel) but is processed server-side and not stored. Diagnostic results are returned to you immediately and are not retained by our systems.
Our analytics services (Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights) collect aggregated, anonymized usage and performance data. They do not collect or store individual query data, diagnostic results, or any personal information. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymized to help us improve the service.
Data Transfer Mechanisms
Our sub-processors are primarily located in the United States. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with data transfer restrictions, data transfers to these sub-processors are conducted in compliance with applicable data protection laws through:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
- Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with each sub-processor
- Supplementary measures including encryption and access controls where appropriate
Changes to Sub-Processors
We may update this list of sub-processors from time to time. When we add a new sub-processor that processes personal data, we will update this page. For material changes that significantly affect how your data is processed, we will provide notice through our Service or via email.
