Sub-Processors
Last updated: 22 June 2026
Hostli provides a marketing and CRM platform to hotels. To deliver the service, we engage a small number of third-party providers (“sub-processors”) that process personal data on our behalf and under our instructions. This page lists every sub-processor currently engaged, the service it provides, the categories of data it processes, where the processing takes place, and the legal mechanism that safeguards any transfer of data outside the European Economic Area or Israel. We remain fully responsible to our customers for the acts and omissions of every sub-processor listed here.
