Sub-processors
Last updated: June 20, 2026.
To deliver the Service, Hutytech ICT Resources Limited (“Coveton”) relies on a small set of trusted infrastructure providers, known as sub-processors. This page lists the representative sub-processors we use and the role each one plays.
1. The role of sub-processors
Sub-processors provide hosting, storage, payments, email and monitoring so that we can run a reliable, secure platform. They process data strictly on our instructions and under written contracts that include confidentiality and data-protection obligations. Critically, because Coveton is zero-knowledge, none of our sub-processors ever receive your decryption keys. Any content they touch is ciphertext we cannot read, and neither can they.
2. Current sub-processors
| Sub-processor | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud hosting & compute | Application servers and compute that run the Coveton platform. | United States / European Union |
| Managed PostgreSQL | Primary database for account, metadata and ciphertext references. | United States / European Union |
| Managed Redis | Caching, queues, presence and rate-limiting state. | United States / European Union |
| Cloudflare R2 | Encrypted object storage for files and voice notes (ciphertext only). | Global edge network |
| Stripe | Subscription billing and card payment processing. | United States |
| Paystack | Payment processing for African markets. | Nigeria / South Africa |
| Flutterwave | Payment processing for African and emerging markets. | Nigeria / United States |
| Email / SMTP provider | Transactional email such as sign-in, verification and receipts. | United States / European Union |
| Error monitoring | Application error and performance monitoring (no message content). | United States / European Union |
Specific vendors and regions may change as we scale. This list is representative of the providers we use to operate the Service.
3. International transfers
Where a sub-processor processes personal data across borders, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, alongside the technical protection that content is always encrypted with keys we do not hold.
4. Change notifications
We update this page when we add or replace a sub-processor that handles personal data. Customers can subscribe to advance change notifications by emailing privacy@coveton.com. Enterprise customers may have a contractual notice and objection period under their Data Processing Agreement.
