• Data minimization.
• Accuracy and currency of data.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
At present the website only sets strictly necessary cookies and local storage. We do not use analytics, marketing or tracking cookies, and we do not load third-party scripts before consent.
Essential cookies: required for the website to function properly (stored cookie choice, language preference, technical form protection). Cannot be disabled.
Analytics and marketing categories: available in the consent banner but currently inactive. If we introduce such tools in the future, they will only load after your prior consent.
You can change your cookie settings at any time via the "Cookie Settings" button in the website footer.
6. How We Use Your Information

• Provide the services you requested.
• Improve our website and services.
• Send you marketing communications (only with consent).
• Website audits for potential clients to provide relevant offers.
• Statistical purposes and user behavior analysis.
• Comply with legal obligations.
7. Third-Party Data Sharing
The Company uses the following data processors (sub-processors):
• Supabase Inc. (database hosting and authentication, EU region) — storage of form submissions, leads and tool results.
• Cloudflare, Inc. (Turnstile) — protecting our forms from spam and automated abuse.
• Google LLC (Gemini via the Lovable AI Gateway) — processing the text you enter into our AI tools in order to generate a result. Your inputs are not used to train models.
• Lovable Labs Incorporated — website hosting and delivery.
• Resend — sending email notifications and GDPR request confirmations.
International transfers: Cloudflare, Inc., Google LLC, Lovable Labs Incorporated and Resend are established outside the EEA (primarily in the United States). Transfers to them are made on the basis of the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and/or certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, together with supplementary technical measures (encryption in transit and at rest). A copy of the applicable safeguards is available on request at the email address below.
All above-mentioned data processors comply with GDPR requirements. The Company does not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
8. Data Retention Periods
• Contact form inquiries: up to 24 months from last communication.
• Client and partner data: 5 years after contract termination.
• Accounting documents: up to 11 years as required by law.
• Job applicants: 6 months after recruitment completion.
These periods are enforced automatically: a nightly job anonymises or deletes form submissions, leads, tool results and resource downloads older than 24 months, so no manual action is required.
9. Security, Abuse Prevention and Server Logs
To protect our website and forms we process your IP address, user agent (browser/device) and request timestamp. This data is used to: protect against spam and automated submissions (Cloudflare Turnstile), rate-limit requests to our AI tools and forms, and investigate technical incidents and abuse attempts.
Legal basis: legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR - protecting our infrastructure and preventing abuse.
IP addresses are not used for profiling, advertising or behavioural analysis. Server logs and technical abuse-prevention records are kept for a short period (up to 12 months) and then deleted or anonymised; form data follows the general 24-month period.
10. AI Tools and Transparency
The free tools on this website use generative artificial intelligence. The text, URLs and parameters you enter are sent for processing to Google LLC (Gemini models) via the Lovable AI Gateway in order to generate a result.
Your inputs are not used to train the models. Please do not enter personal data about third parties, or sensitive or confidential information.
Outputs are AI-generated and may contain inaccuracies. They are informational only, do not constitute professional, legal, financial or tax advice, and should be reviewed by a human before use. No automated decision-making with legal effect on you takes place.
Tool usage records (input, output and technical metadata) are retained for up to 24 months for abuse prevention and service improvement.
