Legal
Sub-processors
This is the complete list of organisations that process a firm’s data on our behalf. It is short on purpose. Each one is bound by a written contract containing the terms UK GDPR requires, and we remain responsible for what they do as if we had done it ourselves.

01
Where the product runs
These process matter data as part of the service. A firm cannot use Numo Law without them.
| Supplier | What it does | Where | What reaches it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, file storage, authentication and the server functions that hold every key | Ireland, on AWS (eu-west-1) | Everything a firm puts in: matters, people, files, the audit trail, and the vault as ciphertext |
| Amazon Web Services | The underlying infrastructure our database and storage run on, contracted through Supabase | Ireland | The same data, at rest and encrypted |
| Vercel | Serves the applications and this website | London and Dublin regions, with a global edge network | Requests and responses in transit, plus operational logs. No matter data is stored here |
02
The model provider
| Supplier | What it does | Where | What reaches it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anthropic | Runs the language models behind Numo Bot: research, drafting, extraction and classification | United States | Only the part of a matter a question needs, for the length of the request |
We use Anthropic’s commercial API terms, under which inputs and outputs are not used to train their models. Requests are made over an encrypted connection from our own server functions, never from a browser, so a firm’s data never passes through a client machine on the way.
Vault objects are never sent unless the firm has unlocked the vault in that session and recorded a consent to analyse the specific object. Content is selected by retrieval rather than sent wholesale, and the person asking can only ever cause data they are themselves entitled to see to be sent.
This is a transfer to the United States. It is covered by the International Data Transfer Addendum to the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, together with our transfer risk assessment, which we will provide to a firm on request.
03
| Supplier | What it does | Where | What reaches it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brevo | Sends transactional email: signing invitations, notifications, and account messages | European Union, with group companies outside the EEA | The recipient's name and email address, and the content of the message we send them |
Signing invitations carry a secure link, not the document itself, so the document is read inside the product rather than travelling as an attachment. Where a firm connects its own Gmail account, mail sent through that connection does not touch this supplier at all: it goes through the firm’s own account.
04
Services a firm connects for itself
These are not our sub-processors. They are the firm’s own accounts, connected by one of its people, and data reaches them because somebody allowed an action. We list them so the picture is complete.
| Service | What it does | What reaches it |
|---|---|---|
| Google Workspace: Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Calendar | Sending, drafting, storing and scheduling in the firm's own account | Whatever a permitted action contains, at the moment it is allowed |
| Google Maps Platform | Place search, addresses and imagery for the place finder | The address typed and the location looked at |
| Dropbox | Bringing documents in from the firm's own storage | The document requested |
| Calendly | Appointments brought into the matter | The appointment details |
Each connection is separate, held for one person, and revocable on its own. The detail is on the integrations page.

Public sources we read from
Research reads from public registers and from the open web. No personal data from a matter is sent to them: a request is a query for a provision or a judgment, not a description of your client.
- legislation.gov.uk for statutes and statutory instruments, read at the provision.
- Find Case Law at the National Archives, for judgments in England and Wales.
- The open web, where practice guidance, fee levels and form versions move faster than the statute books. Every page read is named under the answer.

Changes to this list
We give account administrators at least 30 days’ notice by email before adding a sub-processor. A firm can object within that period, and the terms of service set out what happens if we cannot resolve the objection.
To be told when this page changes, email support@numolaw.com and ask to be added to the notification list.
