Payscale’s Sub-Processors

To comply with our obligations under applicable data protection laws and to our customers, we have developed this list of third-party suppliers that enable us to provide our products and services and operate our business. These third-party suppliers perform the functions described below and are considered sub-processors under applicable data protection laws (“Sub-processors”), including the European Union’s data privacy regulation known as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), because they process personal data. When we use the terms “process,” “processing,” “processed” and “personal data” herein, those terms have the meaning given to them under GDPR. We require our Sub-processors to implement proper security measures to safeguard personal data and to comply with appropriate obligations as those required of Payscale. Information about our Sub-processors are available at their respective websites. In the interest of transparency, we have chosen to be overly inclusive and list all entities that provide some processing services to us. It does not follow that all the entities listed below will be implicated in any given data processing activity, including in the provision of customer services.

Payscale Affiliates

Payscale may, as required, process personal data through one of several affiliates. These affiliates are all wholly owned subsidiaries of Payscale, Inc.

Back-End Infrastructure & Data Storage

Payscale uses Sub-processors that provide back-end infrastructure for our products’ production systems and for data storage generally. These Sub-processors possess an extensive set of security certifications with regular auditing to ensure compliance. More importantly, these Sub-processors allow us to deliver to our customers better performing products and helps us minimize service disruptions.

Product Development & Analytics

Payscale engages Sub-processors for development services (e.g., software coding) and to allow us to analyze the performance and usage of our products. These tools enable our product and engineering teams to develop new and improved features and create better user experiences.

Other Third Party Service Providers

Payscale also utilizes third parties to provide services on our behalf to support in matters such as client engagement and relationship management.
