Vendor notes for DeskDude Services.

Last updated: 23 July 2026

This page applies to the public DeskDude Services site and future scoped client work. It isn't the Restaurant Training product's subprocessor list.

The public website

The DeskDude Services site is essentially a static website with no user accounts, checkout, newsletter sign-up, or an application database for visitors. There's one exception: when someone downloads a free ebook, a small server function runs and sends on a redacted, hashed event. See the ebook-downloads row below.

Hosting and deployment Vercel. Static files and the one server function for ebook downloads run and are deployed via Vercel, which also sets the site's security headers and can log technical request data.

Email provider Used when you write to hello@deskdude.dk, or when the contact form opens a mailto draft in your own mail client. No specific email provider is named here, because it can't be confirmed from the source code alone.

The Ask Malte assistant An isolated chat system at ask-deskdude-ai.vercel.app, which I run myself, with its own backend outside this repository. Answers are generated by Google Gemini, and OpenAI's embedding model is used to find relevant sources. See the privacy notice for logging and retention.

Ebook downloads (DeskDude Ops) If a free ebook is downloaded, a redacted event (hashed IP, hashed user agent, referring domain, rough country, ebook ID) is sent to DeskDude Ops, my internal operations tool. DeskDude Ops is only accessible to me, and events are normally kept for up to 24 months.

Development and version control The source code is maintained in a private version control system and deployed to Vercel. No public access.

Transfers outside the EU/EEA

Vercel is a US company. That can mean data is processed or stored outside the EU/EEA as part of hosting and operations.

Vercel's own data processing agreement uses the 2021 Standard Contractual Clauses (European Commission decision 2021/914) as the transfer safeguard for data from the EU/EEA, and the UK IDTA for transfers from the UK. That applies both to hosting deskdude.dk and to the Ask Malte widget at ask-deskdude-ai.vercel.app, which is also hosted on Vercel.

Client work

Subprocessors for client work depend on the specific project's scope. There's no single fixed vendor list that applies to all future work. A website, an automation workflow, an internal tool, an AI prototype, or an industrial support job can involve different vendors, agreed on and documented for the individual job. If DeskDude acts as a processor for a client's personal data, vendors and processing roles need to be approved before any real personal data is processed.

Restaurant Training

Restaurant Training has separate app infrastructure, product data, and legal pages. The product's own subprocessors page lives at /restaurant-training/en/subprocessors.
