Sub-processors for Kahoot!
Kahoot! uses sub-processors for some of the operations required to provide services for our users. For example, we rely on external hosting providers with servers in multiple regions to provide a seamless experience for our global community.
Kahoot!´s cloud- and hosting services have data centers in the EU, Canada, Australia and the USA. Our long term storage of personal data for the provision of the services on behalf of our customers is hosted on servers in the EU and Canada. For European users using the service from the EU, the data is only processed in the EU and Canada, except if personal data is added in videos or support tickets.
