The Macro Picture17
1 conditional row (Deployment Mode = Self-managed. The customer installs and operates the software on its own infrastructure under the Confluent Platform Agreement (Last Updated April 24, 2024) rather than under the Cloud Services Agreement, and Confluent hosts no customer topic data. Confluent nonetheless collects Usage Data and, unless disabled, Telemetry Metrics from the customer's own installation.) sit outside these counts. A Variant is a stated deployment mode, not a published offering, and the Grid Standard holds it to its own band.

Where To Put It
This was read on your own page at https://www.confluent.io/legal/confluent-privacy-notice/. 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.
