We retain personal data in accordance with the data processing agreement between Neople and the Contractor, and in any case no longer than is permitted under applicable law. During the contract term between Neople and the Contractor, personal data will be retained to provide the Services.

To provide the Services to you, we have engaged service providers who operate parts of the Platform. If those service providers process personal data under our agreement with them, they are listed as subprocessors and we have concluded a data processing agreement with them.
Our services are mainly managed and operated from the European Economic Area (EEA).

If this level of protection is not adequate, Neople shall ensure that the legally required safeguards are made, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
At the time of writing this Privacy Statement, your personal data will only be transferred outside of the EEA in the context of the services provided by OpenAI OpCo LLC, Cohere Inc and Anthropic PBC. All three subprocessors are located in the United States of America and are SOC 2 compliant. We have signed a data processing agreement with them, and they all adhere to the Standard Contractual Clauses and conditions as set by the European Commission.
