Subprocessors and External Providers
Effective date: 2026-10-20
The providers below support the website, accounts, the free contractor research, and previously enabled services where needed; listing them does not establish a repair-provider network. Contractor research reads public records from the Contractors State License Board and a public ZIP-code dataset from GeoNames. These are data sources, not recipients of your information: we send CSLB only contractor license numbers. To read research requests and quotes we use Anthropic, PBC, listed below.
This update applies prospectively. Previously accepted terms and purchase receipts continue to govern existing agreements and their rights. This page does not replace those agreements, change a completed purchase, or remove support, privacy, refund, cancellation, receipt, or retained-record access rights.
| Category | Provider | Purpose | Data categories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payments and tax | Stripe, Inc. | Project Guard card payments and refunds. Existing transactions, subscriptions, refunds, receipts, and fraud controls | Account, transaction, tax, and limited security data |
| Email and authentication | Resend, Inc. | Verification and service notices | Email, verification state, and notice metadata |
| Contractor research reading | Anthropic, PBC | Reads the repair request, quote or contract text, and a quote photo or PDF you upload, and returns a structured reading or the quote's text. Not used to train models; deleted within 30 days unless longer retention is needed to enforce Anthropic's usage policy or required by law | Request and quote text, uploaded quote files; never your name or email |
| Existing hosted AI services | DeepSeek | Model inference for an enabled existing service | Minimum request content, normalized messages, and model/usage metadata |
| Hosting and security | DigitalOcean, LLC; Cloudflare, Inc. | Website, existing records, account access, security, and abuse prevention | Stored customer records, account identifiers, usage/audit metadata, and limited network data |
| Support | MING ZHANG | Customer-requested account support | Contact details and material submitted for support |
This notice adds Anthropic, PBC for contractor research. Previously enabled customer-selected providers remain subject to their own terms and the customer's existing choices. We will disclose any additional recipient before sending customer information to it.
We require providers to protect data and use it for contracted purposes, subject to law. Data may be processed where these providers operate, with applicable safeguards. Material changes receive notice when required. Questions: [email protected].
