Sub-Processors

Last updated: January 18, 2026

This page lists all third-party sub-processors that Akol engages to process personal data on behalf of our customers. We maintain this list in accordance with our Data Processing Agreement and GDPR Article 28 requirements.

Overview

As part of delivering our AI voice receptionist services, Akol engages certain third-party service providers ("sub-processors") to assist with data processing activities. Each sub-processor is carefully vetted and contractually bound to:

  • Process data only on documented instructions from Akol
  • Implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures
  • Assist with data subject rights requests
  • Delete or return all personal data upon termination
  • Submit to audits and inspections as required

Data Processing Location: All sub-processors listed below are based in the United States. For EU data transfers, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and, where applicable, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
