Sub-processors

Last updated · 30 September 2026 Controller · Sociaro Baltic OÜ Contact · dpo@sociaro.com

In accordance with Article 28(2) GDPR, this page lists the third parties that may process personal data on our behalf when you use the Sociaro gateway. We keep it current and update it when we add or replace a sub-processor.

What actually travels. Sociaro operates a transparent proxy. Requests you send are forwarded to the model provider you addressed, unmodified, and the response is returned to you. We do not rewrite prompts and we do not route your request to a provider you did not ask for.

You choose where inference happens. Accounts can run in EU-only mode, where requests are served exclusively by EU inference endpoints, or in global mode, which opens the full catalogue including providers outside the EU. The gateway itself — request handling, accounting and the database — runs in the EU in both cases.

Model providers and inference

These process the content of your request — the prompt, any reference images, audio or video you attach — for the sole purpose of producing the output you asked for. Which of them are reachable depends on your account's inference mode and on the models you call.
