The following is an up-to-date list (as of the date of this advisory) of the names and locations of Ava sub-processors and content delivery networks.
Infrastructure Sub-processors – Service Data Storage and Processing

Currently, the Ava production systems used for hosting Customer Content for the Services are in facilities in the United States and in the infrastructure sub-processors listed below. The following table describes the countries and legal entities engaged by Ava in the storage of Service Data. Ava also uses additional services provided by these sub-processors to process Service Data as needed to provide the Services.
Service Specific Sub-processors
Ava works with certain third parties to provide specific functionality within the Services. These providers are the Sub-processors set forth below. In order to provide the relevant functionality these Sub-processors access Customer Content. Their use is limited to the indicated Services.
Content Delivery Networks
As explained above, Ava may use content delivery networks (“CDNs”) to provide the Services, for security purposes, and to optimize content delivery. CDNs are commonly used systems of distributed services that deliver content based on the geographic location of the individual accessing the content and the origin of the content provider. Website content served to website visitors and domain name information may be stored with a CDN to expedite transmission, and information transmitted across a CDN may be accessed by that CDN to enable its functions. The following describes use of CDNs by Ava's Services.
