What the vendor's own documentation says
For workflows that leverage OpenAI, we use OpenAI’s Zero Data Retention endpoints for applicable use cases, ensuring OpenAI does not retain your data after processing.

The quote above names one provider. The multi-provider finding rests on the vendor’s full disclosure — Multiple third-party providers routed by Amplitude: AWS Bedrock-hosted models, OpenAI, and Google generative AI — not on that line alone.

Recorded at low confidence — the vendor does not scope this clearly to a plan. Confirm against your own contract.

Training and retention posture varies by plan. The default-plan row above describes the vendor’s free or standard tier; the paid-plan row is quoted from the document linked beside it. A negotiated contract can override either. Check your own agreement before relying on this.

This is a separate question from the grade above. The grade measures resilience — whether the tool endures and whether you could leave it. This describes who controls the vendor. A tool can score modestly on one and strongly on the other, and many do.

On U.S. CLOUD Act reach specifically: the statute reaches a provider subject to U.S. jurisdiction over data in its possession, custody or control. Corporate control is a strong indicator of that and it is what we can evidence from published documents — but it is not the whole test. A company founded outside the U.S. can still contract through a U.S. entity or run substantial U.S. operations. Treat this as a starting point for your own review, not a legal determination, and take advice on anything that matters.

Who else handles your data

Amplitude publishes a list of the other companies it uses to process customer data. It names 9 of them in 15 entries, because some appear more than once under different locations, each shown below with the location the vendor lists it under, in the vendor’s own words.

Amazon Web Services · United StatesAmazon Web Services · EUDatadog, Inc. · United StatesGoogle, LLC · United StatesGoogle, LLC · EUOpenAI, LLC · United StatesOpenAI, LLC · EUSnowflake Computing, Inc. · United StatesSnowflake Computing, Inc. · EU (for AI Feedback only)Wiz, Inc. · United StatesWiz, Inc. · EUFivetran Inc. · United StatesFivetran Inc. · EUMongoDB, Inc. · United StatesMicrosoft Azure · United States

Taken together those entries name at least EU, United States. That is what our place list could match in the vendor’s own words above, so treat it as a floor rather than the whole of it — the entries themselves are the record.

These are other companies, not Amplitude. Where a sub-processor is listed as operating is a fact about that company. It is not a statement about where Amplitude keeps your data, which Vannus publishes separately and only from a document in which the vendor says so.

The same document also lists 8 companies in Amplitude’s own corporate group. Those are the vendor itself rather than onward processors, so they are not among the entries above and are not counted in them.

Read from amplitude.com on 2026-09-17. Every entry above is a verbatim span of that page.

This is the vendor’s own disclosure, reproduced. Vannus has not audited what any of these companies do with your data, and a list can change without notice. Treat it as a starting point for your own review, not a legal determination, and take advice on anything that matters.

How this grade is set

Vannus publishes a nine-dimension trust framework — data sovereignty, training privacy, compliance posture, operational resilience, exit portability, and more. The heaviest criterion asks whether the tool builds its own AI or resells someone else's model; where the vendor discloses it, the grade cites the vendor's own documentation. No paid placements — scoring is walled off from affiliate revenue. See the methodology →
