# Vendors A vendor represents an entity to which access to end-user data is granted for processing in accordance with its specified purposes. In this article, we will provide an overview of the vendors that are included and customizable in your Didomi account. View vendors in your Didomi account by clicking **Data Manager** on the left-hand panel and selecting the **Vendors** tab on the subsequent page.
From the data manager page, you can use the provided filter to sort the list of vendors by different types.
The Didomi console supports 4 types of vendors:
TypeSourceDescription
IAB vendorsIAB TCF Global Vendor List (GVL)

Note: The Didomi platform syncs with the GVL every Monday morning.		Part of the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF). These vendors come pre-populated in your account with the IAB purposes that they have declared.

Your organization can add purposes to these vendors but cannot remove any declared IAB purposes from the vendor.

Note: Some IAB vendors include only special features or special purposes, with no purpose as defined in the Didomi Console. Consequently, no purpose will appear for these vendors in the Data Manager.
Google ATP vendorsGoogle ad partner list

Note: The Didomi platform syncs with the Google ad partner list every Monday morning.		Part of Google's Ad Technology Providers. These vendors do not necessarily adhere to the IAB TCF framework (although they can) and rather undergo Google's Ad Manager certification.

Your organization can add purposes to these vendors but cannot remove any declared IAB purposes from the vendor.
Global vendorsDidomi-providedCommonly used vendors pre-populated by Didomi in your organization's account. These vendors are not a part of the IAB TCF nor included in the Google ATP list.

Your organization can add, remove, and edit some or all of the purposes configured for the vendor.

Note: There is currently no filter to support global vendors. However, a global vendor will include the following path in its URL data-manager/global-vendor/:id
Custom vendorsClient-providedThese vendors are created and added to your specific Didomi account by your organization (even if they already exist in the Didomi database.

Your organization can add, remove, and edit all the details and purposes for the vendor.

Note: Only custom vendors with defined purposes will appear in consent notices.
