Subprocessors

Last updated 2026-10-09

NeateWorks uses the subprocessors below to process its clients' personal data. This list is the subprocessor list the data-protection terms of the NeateWorks Master Services Agreement refer to, and Annex III of the Standard Contractual Clauses those terms incorporate. NeateWorks notifies clients before adding a subprocessor that will process their personal data, at least 30 days ahead for personal data from Europe, the UK or Switzerland, and a client may object.

Other data flows

AI assistants a user connects

A portal user can connect their own AI assistant (such as Claude or ChatGPT) to the portal. That assistant acts for the user, under the user's own agreement with its provider, and can see and do only what that user's own permissions allow: a personal access token is read-only, and an assistant connected by sign-in approval can make changes only where the portal grants that and the user approved it. It is not a NeateWorks subprocessor.

U.S. vehicle identification lookup

Bott Mobile Auto Care's booking flow sends a vehicle identification number, and nothing else about the customer, to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's public decoding service to look up the make and model.
