# Subprocessor Management

Subprocessors let you document the third-party vendors that support your service. Publishing this list inside the Trust Center gives prospects and customers clear visibility into where their data flows.

## What You'll Learn

* How to publish a new subprocessor from a reusable template or from scratch
* Updating vendor details, locations, and badge assets through the admin center
* How subprocessors surface inside the public Trust Center experience

## Subprocessor Overview

The Subprocessors area of the admin center mirrors the familiar document and certification workflows. You'll find a searchable table, templated creation flows, and tight integration with the Trust Center build process.

  managers have read-only access.

## Quick Reference

* **Templates**: Leverage template badges and usage copy for common vendors such as cloud providers.
* **Locations**: Explain where processing happens (region + country) for clarity during due diligence.
* **Usage details**: Markdown-enabled field for describing data flows, business justification, and retention policies.
* **Trust Center impact**: A curated table appears beneath the document categories with automatic translation metadata.

Need to expose your subprocessor register automatically to buyers? Pair this feature with existing NDA workflows so restricted vendors remain hidden until the correct paperwork is in place.
