1. Overview
A “sub-processor” is a third party that processes personal data on behalf of Akera in order to provide a specific part of the Service. We disclose the full current list below, along with what each sub-processor does and where processing takes place.

4. Email AI and Akera Intelligence
Email AI features (writing assistant, thread overview and chat, calendar suggestions, phishing checks) and Akera Intelligence are on by default. You can disable them in Settings → AI. Model inference runs on infrastructure operated by Akera; that is not a third-party sub-processor. Akera Intelligence chat history is stored with our cloud infrastructure provider (see section 1). The following provider processes AI requests in transit:
