• Compliance with a legal obligation.

• Legitimate interests of the Controller (communication, service improvement).

• Your explicit consent (for marketing communications).

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and hold certain information. You have full control over these cookies through our cookie consent banner.

Essential cookies: required for the website to function properly. Cannot be disabled.

Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors interact with our website (Google Analytics).

Marketing cookies: used to deliver personalized advertisements and measure their effectiveness.

You can change your cookie settings at any time via the "Cookie Settings" button in the website footer.

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.

• Client and partner data: 5 years after contract termination.
