Sub-processors

EU GDPR
Our software stores personal data on our infrastructure on behalf of our clients, so we are a Processor. We use Zendesk, a ticketing system, where users can report issues. This system is hosted in the US. In this system we will have email addresses from users, mostly only from our contact persons at clients. So not from all users. Should we regard Zendesk as a Sub-Processor with respect to personal data?

Answer:

You are correct, if Zendesk would be hosting the data of your customers they should be considered your sub-processors based on the description you provided.
