NCC Group Sub-processors

NCC Group uses sub-processors to support the delivery of our services to you.

A sub-processor is an external service provider or another member of NCC Group that is enlisted to deliver the service to you, where we are delivering a service to you in the role of processor. Therefore, this page doesn’t include the processing activities and services we deliver in the role of controller.  

To deliver our service to you we may share certain personal information with one or more sub-processors. We have written contracts between NCC Group and all our sub-processors, which include obligations in relation to technical and organizational measures and compliance with applicable privacy laws.  

Whether any sub-processor is used for any particular client engagement will depend on the country in which services are provided, the nature of the services and any specific client terms or processes agreed.
