Subprocessors.
Last updated October 25, 2026.
To run your school's app, Appier uses the service providers below. Your school's own list, with every location and the terms each one is under, is part of its data privacy agreement with us.
| Subprocessor | What it does | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Google Cloud and FirebaseGoogle LLC | Hosting your school's app: its database, file storage, server, sign-in, backups and logs, in a project for your school alone. Also delivers Android and web notifications. | Your school's chosen region (sign-in records in the United States; logs on Google's global infrastructure) |
| Google WorkspaceGoogle LLC | Our email, including the support and security requests schools and families send us. | Google's global infrastructure |
| AnthropicAnthropic, PBC | AI services that help our team answer support requests and investigate issues in the service. | United States |
| Expo650 Industries, Inc. | Building the apps and delivering app updates. Receives a device's operating system, IP address and a random identifier, and no student data. | United States |
| Apple Push Notification serviceApple Inc. | Delivering notifications to iPhone, iPad and Mac: a device token, a message id and its category, and the notification encrypted to the receiving device, so the services that deliver it cannot read it. | Apple's global infrastructure |
| Web browsers' push servicesGoogle, Apple, Mozilla or Microsoft, by browser | Delivering notifications in a web browser that has them turned on: a message id and its category, and the notification encrypted to the receiving device, so the services that deliver it cannot read it. | The browser maker's infrastructure |
How we use AI
The app has no AI features. Our team uses Anthropic's Claude to help answer support requests and investigate issues, so it may see information contained in a support email or in the app's operational logs. Anthropic processes it as our service provider, under commercial terms and a data processing addendum that prohibit it from using that information to train its models. We never use school data to train AI models.
Other services the app works with
These are not our subprocessors, but your school's app connects to them:
- Veracross, your school's own student information system and vendor. The app signs people in and reads and writes school records through it, with your school's permission.
- The App Store and Google Play, which distribute the apps and receive no student data from us.
- Google Maps Platform and Apple Maps, only if your school turns on the optional Community Map. Google turns the home addresses your directory shares into map coordinates, under its own terms as an independent company rather than as our subprocessor, and Apple Maps or Google Maps draws the map on the device.
Changes to this list
We tell each school before we make a material change to the subprocessors that handle its data, and we update this page with its date. Questions: security@appiertech.com. How we protect school data is on our security page, and what the app collects is in the app privacy notice.
