Our services, and who helps us run them
Aster ID is operated by Stichting Modal, a Dutch non-profit foundation (Kranenburgweg 135 A, 2583 ER The Hague, RSIN 868779465). This page lists the providers we currently use to run our services, what each one does, and where it processes data. The commitments are ours, and they are set out in our Privacy Policy: EU-headquartered hosting with EU data centres for our primary services, no advertising networks, no data brokers, no data sales. We choose providers that let us keep those commitments, and where a provider processes personal data on our behalf, it does so under a data processing agreement with us.
We update this page when providers change. Swapping a provider within the same category, under the same safeguards, is reflected here and in the change log below; changes that expand what we process or who receives it are announced in advance under §16 of the Privacy Policy.
Current providers
| Service | What it does | Provider | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aster ID PDS hosting | Hosts your account, identity, and content | Hetzner Online GmbH | Germany (EU data centres) |
| Aster ID Portal hosting | Runs portal.aster.place | Hetzner Online GmbH | Germany (EU data centres) |
What we never do
No provider on this page receives data for advertising. We do not sell personal data, we do not profile anyone for advertising, and we do not share data with advertising networks or data brokers. The full commitments are in §7 of the Privacy Policy.
