Trust center
DPAs, sub-processor list, Acceptable Use Policy, security whitepaper, and compliance documents in one place. Self-serve for Pro and above; CSM-mediated for Enterprise.
The Trust Center is the consolidated home for the legal and operational documents customers need to evaluate Sankofa. Everything links from here.
For the underlying compliance posture (what we attest to today vs in progress), see Compliance. For the technical security model, see Security.

Data Processing Agreement (DPA)
A signed DPA is the contract that governs Sankofa's processing of customer data under GDPR + similar frameworks.
| Tier | How to get one |
|---|---|
| Hobby | DPA template available; counter-signature requires upgrade to Pro+ |
| Pro / Growth | Self-serve at /dashboard/account/billing → Compliance → Generate DPA. Pre-filled with your org details. |
| Enterprise | Provided at contract signing by your CSM. Custom amendments supported. |
Standard DPA terms cover sub-processor disclosure, notice requirements, breach notification, audit rights (annual, with reasonable notice), and the limited liability framework standard for SaaS DPAs.
Sub-processor list
We use the following sub-processors. Material changes are notified per DPA terms (typically 30 days advance notice).
| Sub-processor | Role | Data scope | Region |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon Web Services (AWS) | Cloud infrastructure (EC2, S3, RDS) | All customer data + backups | Customer's pinned region |
| Cloudflare | CDN + DDoS protection + Workers | Public assets, dashboard static, deploy bundles | Global |
| ClickHouse Cloud | Analytics database hosting | Events, replays, audit log, exposures | Customer's pinned region |
| Managed Postgres provider | Authoritative database hosting | Application metadata, members, projects, configs | Customer's pinned region |
| Backblaze B2 | Object storage for replays + symbols + deploy bundles | Replay chunks, dSYM bundles, OTA bundles | Customer's pinned region |
| Stripe | Payment processing | Billing-only data (tokenized cards, invoices); never customer event data | Stripe's regions |
| Resend | Transactional email (sign-up, invitations, alerts) | Email addresses, message contents | Resend's regions |
| MailerSend | Transactional email backup | Email addresses, message contents | MailerSend's regions |
| Sentry (irony) | Internal error monitoring on our own infra | Engine-side errors, no customer event data | Sankofa's home region |
| Datadog | Internal infrastructure monitoring | Engine-side metrics + logs, no customer event data | Datadog's regions |
For each sub-processor, the data scope is bounded — customer event data lives only in the regions you pin to + their corresponding sub-processors (AWS, ClickHouse Cloud, Backblaze B2, managed Postgres). Sub-processors handling email, payments, and operational telemetry don't see your end users' event data.
Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
Sankofa's AUP prohibits using the platform for:
- Illegal activity, including unauthorized data collection, harassment, or distribution of unlawful content.
- Tracking individuals without lawful basis under the customer's applicable jurisdiction.
- Profiling or targeting based on protected characteristics (race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) in a way that produces discriminatory effects.
- Unauthorized scraping or automated access to other customers' data via shared infrastructure.
- Distributing malware, phishing, or fraud-enabling content.
Enforcement is via our incident-response process. Verified violations result in account suspension; egregious violations result in immediate termination.
The full AUP is provided as part of the Master Subscription Agreement.

- Architecture (engine, regions, data flow)

Service Level Agreement (SLA)
The SLA is part of the Master Subscription Agreement (MSA) and links to the status page:
| Tier | Uptime target | Service credits |
|---|---|---|
| Hobby | best-effort | — |
| Pro | best-effort | — |
| Growth | 99.9% | per MSA schedule |
| Enterprise | 99.95% | per MSA schedule + dedicated CSM during incidents |
Master Subscription Agreement (MSA)
The MSA is the primary commercial contract:

Customer compliance contacts
If you need to designate a Sankofa-internal contact for ongoing compliance discussions (annual security review, breach notifications, audit coordination):
