    // What to watch

    • AI features depend on third-party LLM subprocessors (OpenAI, Anthropic) not individually enumerated in the Trust Center subprocessor list, though covered by AI data-privacy article and OpenAI DPA.
    • Trust Center lists 'Personal health information' among data categories collected, but Nutshell publishes no HIPAA attestation/BAA - buyers handling PHI should not assume HIPAA coverage.
    • Data residency is US-only with no EU/regional data hosting option - relevant for EU data-localization requirements.
    • SOC 2 report, pen test letter, and CASA assessment are gated behind 'Request access' on the Trust Center (standard, but not openly downloadable).
    • No bug bounty program (vendor-confirmed).
