Vendor & Subprocessor Disclosure
Effective Date: 2/14/25
At Sturdy Statistics, we prioritize transparency and security. This document discloses the third-party vendors and subprocessors we use to provide and support our services. These vendors help us ensure data security, system reliability, and service performance while maintaining strict compliance with industry standards.
1. Core Infrastructure Providers
We rely on the following third-party providers for hosting, storage, and infrastructure management:
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Services Used: Hosting, encrypted storage (S3), database infrastructure.
Data Locations: United States.
Security Measures: AES-256 encryption, TLS 1.3, multi-layer access controls.
Customer Data Handling: AWS provides the infrastructure but does not access or process customer data beyond standard infrastructure operations.
Cloudflare
Services Used: Network security, DDoS protection, API gateway, bot management.
Data Locations: United States and global CDN regions.
Security Measures: Web traffic filtering, rate limiting, threat detection.
Customer Data Handling: Cloudflare processes only encrypted network traffic as a security layer. Sturdy Statistics does not use Cloudflare for data storage, logging, or deep packet inspection.
