Retention: Operational logs are kept for a short, rolling period and then deleted, unless a specific incident requires longer retention for security reasons or to comply with legal obligations.
3. Backend infrastructure
Data stored in our backend in connection with the operation of the Website (in particular admin area authentication data) is provided via Lovable Cloud and runs on Supabase infrastructure within the European Union. Lovable acts as a processor under Art. 28 GDPR on the basis of a data processing agreement.
4. Processors and recipients
We share personal data with the following processors, each of which is bound by a data processing agreement:
- Lovable / Supabase (Lovable Cloud, EU region) for hosting, application database, authentication and storage.
We do not sell personal data and do not pass it on to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
5. International data transfers
We currently do not transfer personal data to third countries outside the EU/EEA. Should this change in the future, we will rely on an adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR or on the Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR, supplemented by appropriate technical and organisational measures.
6. Cookies and tracking
We use only strictly necessary cookies and corresponding entries in local storage that are required to operate the Website and the admin area, in particular for session handling and security. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, web analytics tools (such as Google Analytics), social media pixels (such as the Meta Pixel), or session replay tools (such as Hotjar).
If we introduce non-essential cookies or tracking tools in the future, we will update this policy and implement a compliant consent banner.

Third-party content (such as social media widgets, video players or fonts) is not loaded automatically when you access a page. Personal data is transmitted to the respective third-party providers only when you actively click a link and access their service. Their privacy policies apply in such cases.
