We keep the personal data we collect to the minimum needed for the purposes described below:
- Email address: to manage your account, contact you about your services, and respond to support requests.
- IP address: recorded when you access our website or services, including in access and security logs.

- Support correspondence: your email address and any information you voluntarily include when contacting us.
Providing an email address is necessary to create and maintain an account. Optional analytics and marketing tracking are not required to use our services.
3. Why do we use your data?
We process personal data for the following purposes and on the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
- Providing our services: creating and managing your account, providing access to your services and sending essential service communications. This processing is necessary to perform our contract with you or take steps at your request before entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b)).
- Security and reliable operation: preventing abuse, investigating incidents, troubleshooting errors, and protecting our infrastructure. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in keeping our services secure and reliable (Article 6(1)(f)).
- Customer support: responding to requests relating to your services, based on our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)), or responding to other inquiries, based on our legitimate interest in handling correspondence (Article 6(1)(f)).

- Legal obligations: processing information where required by applicable law (Article 6(1)(c)).
4. Cookies and telemetry
Cookies are small files stored on your device. Telemetry consists of technical and usage events sent by our website or services.
We distinguish between:
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for functions such as authentication, session management, security, and remembering your privacy choices.
- Optional analytics and marketing cookies and telemetry: used for our own analysis of website traffic, visitor interactions, and marketing effectiveness.
We use optional analytics and marketing cookies and related tracking only after you give your consent. You can refuse them and continue using our services, or change or withdraw your consent at any time through the website’s cookie settings.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Details of the cookies used, their purposes and their lifetimes are available in the cookie settings. You can also remove or block cookies through your browser, although blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent some features from working.
Our analytics and marketing data are used internally. We do not provide them to advertising networks or other businesses for their own marketing purposes.
5. How long do we keep your data?
- Account email address: retained while your account remains active and deleted when your account is deleted, unless further retention is necessary to meet a legal obligation or establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.
- Event logs: retained on a rolling basis for up to 90 days. This includes access, security, and technical logs, as well as recorded telemetry events. Older records are automatically deleted through log rotation.
- Support correspondence: retained for as long as needed to resolve your request and handle any related dispute.
- Cookies: stored for the lifetimes indicated in the cookie settings, unless you delete them earlier.
Specific records may be retained beyond the normal period, where necessary, to comply with the law or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Any such retention is limited to the relevant records and the period necessary for that purpose.
Statistics that have been irreversibly anonymized and can no longer identify you may be retained for longer.
6. Do we share your data?
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. We do not share the personal data, cookies or telemetry we collect with third parties for their own use, including advertising or marketing.
Access within our organization is limited to authorized persons who need the information to perform their duties.
We may disclose information to competent public authorities where required by applicable law.
7. How do we protect your data?
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration or disclosure. Access to personal data is restricted according to operational needs.
