Subprocessors

How to Read This

A subprocessor is any vendor that processes data on my behalf. Some are unavoidable and run the site itself. Some only run after you allow the matching cookie category. Some never see a visitor at all and only read published pages.

Infrastructure and hosting

These providers run the site itself. Every visit touches them, which is why they sit in the strictly necessary category.

Email delivery

Mail is sent only to addresses that confirmed through a double opt-in, or in direct reply to something you sent me.

Analytics and advertising pixels

None of these load until you allow the matching cookie category. Reject them and no request is made to these vendors at all.

AI processing

AI vendors only receive what you deliberately submit, such as a recorded review or a message routed to my assistant.

Content, indexing, and crawling tools

These process published pages, not visitor identity. They are listed because they read this site on a schedule and because published content can end up inside their systems.

Content Crawling and AI Training

Crawling and content tools process what I published, not who you are. Published writing can be indexed by search engines and read by language models. If you submitted a review, only the parts I publish are exposed that way. Nothing from a private form, an email list, or a contact message is fed into a content pipeline.

Adding a Vendor

New vendors are appended to this page with the date they were listed, and the change log below records the addition. When a new vendor falls into the analytics or marketing category, the consent version is bumped, which means the banner asks you again instead of assuming your old answer still applies.
