- Technical data (IP address, device and browser info, logs) — for security, fraud prevention, and fixing problems. Basis: legitimate interests.

International transfers
Our providers may process data in other countries, including the United States. Where required, transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Retention
We keep account and project data while your account is active. After you delete your account, we delete or anonymise it within 90 days, except records we must keep for legal or tax reasons.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or export your data, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent. You may also complain to your local data protection authority. We respond to requests within one month.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit, access controls, and per-user data isolation, so only you can see your project data.
Cookies and local storage
We use only essential storage needed to keep you signed in, save planner progress, and run checkout. We do not use advertising cookies. You can clear this storage in your browser settings, though you may be signed out.
