Data processing transparency

Subprocessors & data processing partners

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.

Key data protection commitments

  • All production PHI remains in the United States at all times.
  • Every vendor with access to PHI has signed a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
  • Medical record text sent to the AI gateway is processed in-context only — zero retention, never used for model training.
  • Uploaded files are stored in Google Cloud Storage (US region) with AES-256 encryption at rest and are accessible only to the uploading firm.
  • Customers can permanently delete all their data (cases, records, account) at any time — deletions are irreversible and logged.
