Sub-processors

Last updated September 2026

GreenNotes uses the service providers below (sub-processors) to run the Services. The first table lists those that may process personal information held by practices in GreenNotes, including patient information. Each one is bound by a written agreement with GreenNotes that restricts its use of the information to providing its service, as described in our Data Processing Agreement.
