GDELT Cloud uses third-party subprocessors to operate hosting, the operational database, analytical storage, MCP infrastructure, agent observability, payments, and email. This page lists the current set and the data each one processes.
A subprocessor is a third party that processes customer or operational data on behalf of GDELT Cloud to provide a specific service. Each subprocessor runs its own security and compliance programme and processes data only for the purpose described below.
| Vendor | Purpose | Data processed |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel | Application hosting, deployment, analytics, and speed insights | Web and API traffic, request metadata, deployment logs, anonymous usage telemetry |
| Supabase | Authentication and operational application database | Account identity, session tokens, subscription metadata, application records |
| ClickHouse Cloud | Analytical storage of GDELT events, GKG, stories, and derived event tables | Structured event and entity data; query-related operational records |
| Google BigQuery | Source ingest of public GDELT Events, GKG, and GEG datasets | Upstream raw GDELT public datasets; service-account query metadata |
| Horizon (Prefect) | Hosted MCP server runtime at gdelt-cloud-mcp.fastmcp.app | MCP request metadata, authentication metadata, and related operational data |
| Stripe | Subscription billing and payment processing | Billing contact and metadata, subscription state; card data handled by Stripe |
| Resend | Transactional and segmented email delivery | Email address, message metadata, message content |
| LangSmith | Deployment and hosting platform for our LangGraph agents; tracing and evaluation | Agent runtime state, prompts, tool calls, and responses for hosted agent deployments |
| OpenAI | LLM completions and embedding generation used in the data pipeline and research agent | Article content and derived text submitted to the API; agent prompts on agent runs |
| Tavily | Web search and content extraction for the research agent | Search queries and target URLs issued by the research agent |
We update this page when we add or materially change subprocessors. Commercial customers may request advance notice for material subprocessor changes as part of their agreement with GDELT Cloud.
