Chronos uses a small set of vetted third-party vendors to operate the platform. This page lists every vendor that may process customer data on our behalf, what data each receives, its geographic location, and its Business Associate Agreement (BAA) status. We update this page whenever our subprocessor list changes.

| Vendor | Purpose | Data processed | Location | BAA status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aptible | HIPAA-eligible cloud hosting and managed database | API server runtime, Postgres database containing all case and user data | United States | Yes — Aptible's platform-level BAA covers all hosted workloads |
| Google Cloud Storage | Object storage for uploaded medical records and generated exports | Uploaded medical record files (PDFs, images, DOCX), generated PDF/Word exports, user avatars | United States | Yes — Google Cloud BAA (Healthcare API addendum) |
| Aptible AI Gateway | BAA-covered LLM routing for chronology extraction and AI assistant — zero data retention | Text extracted from uploaded medical records, processed in-context during chronology generation and case chat. Zero Data Retention (ZDR) — text is not stored, logged, or used for training after the response is returned. | United States | Yes — Aptible AI Gateway is BAA-covered. ZDR is structurally guaranteed by the gateway configuration — record text is processed in-context only and never persisted by the LLM provider. |
| Clerk | User authentication and identity management | Email addresses, passwords (hashed), MFA secrets, session tokens. No medical record content or case PHI is processed by Clerk. | United States | Yes — Clerk offers a BAA for healthcare customers |
| Stripe | Payment processing and subscription billing | Credit card data (handled directly by Stripe, never touches Chronos servers), billing addresses, subscription status. No PHI or medical record content. | United States | Not applicable — Stripe processes billing information only, not PHI. Stripe is not a Business Associate under HIPAA. |
| Replit | Development and CI/CD environment only | Source code and development tooling only. Replit is NOT used in the production environment — production runs on Aptible. No real PHI is processed in the Replit environment. | United States | Not applicable to production (dev environment only) |
