Assessment Basis

Produced under Method v1.6 from the entity's fact record. 8 of 8 observations were measured under that generation; the rest read Not Measured, which is a fact about this register's coverage and not a finding about the entity.

Read from 18 first-party surface(s) across 1 assessed offering(s), found by the entity's own link graph and sitemap rather than by guessed paths.

Where To Put It

This was read on your own page at https://sinch.com/legal/data-protection-agreement-sub-processors/. That is the page a reader already reaches for and does not find it on, so it is the page to correct first.

Where Others Stand

73 organisations in the register name the AI providers they use. You do not.

What A Published Answer Looks Like

Microsoft Corp (Azure OpenAI); Google LLC (model hosting for the optional embedding and reranking model services); Baseten Labs, Inc. (inference services for the same). All three named United States.

A question answered plainly in public, by an organisation read as Strong on it. It is not an endorsement of the position the sentence states — Black Snow reads what is published and never recommends what to practise. Read on a published sub-processor page. Claim tier Quoted. The organisation that published it is not named.

One is named here, and one is deliberate. The rest of the open questions are listed below without a prescription; what to publish for each, in what order, and drafted machine-readable evidence for all of them, is the Deep Dive.
