Zoey OS, LLC (operator of ApplyOwl) uses a small number of third-party providers ("subprocessors") to run the ApplyOwl account service, payments, website, and communications. Each operates under contractual obligations limiting their use of data to providing their service to us. We will provide at least 30 days' notice before adding a new subprocessor — subscribe to changes by emailing legal@applyowl.app.
ApplyOwl uses your own AI — your OpenAI/Anthropic API key or your own ChatGPT/Claude subscription. Those AI requests go directly from your device to your provider under your own credentials. We do not proxy, receive, or store them. Your AI provider is your own contractual relationship, governed by their terms — not a Zoey OS subprocessor.
Likewise, the job sites ApplyOwl interacts with (LinkedIn, job boards, applicant-tracking systems) are accessed through your own logged-in browser; they are not our subprocessors.

| DigitalOcean / [hosting provider] | Hosting of the account, license, and API services | Account data, operational telemetry | United States |
| Cloudflare, Inc. | CDN, WAF, DDoS protection, and edge country determination for the website and API | IP address (edge), request metadata | United States / global edge |
| PostHog, Inc. | Product usage analytics (where enabled) and website analytics, under consent | Random account identifier, usage events, plan/country/OS/app version; website analytics | United States |
| Resend, Inc. | Transactional and (opt-in) marketing/lifecycle email | Email address, message send/open/click metadata, unsubscribe state | United States |
| [Error monitoring, e.g. Sentry] | Crash and error reporting to keep the app working | Error/diagnostic data (no resume, applications, credentials, or AI content) | United States |
*Bracketed entries are finalized as each provider is selected; this list is updated when subprocessors change. Payment (Polar, after a LemonSqueezy availability change) and email providers finalized October 17, 2026.*
