Who handles data for us
The list
These providers handle information for the operator. Each one is held to the same duty to keep it safe and to use it only for the service. Providers marked as switched on later are not handling data yet.

Changes
When a provider is added or changed in a way that matters, this list is updated first and organisations are told. An organisation that objects for a good reason may close its account.
