3. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR Art. 6)

  • Contract performance — processing your email and payment data to provide the service you signed up for.
  • Legal obligation — retaining age verification and payment records as required by EU law.
  • Legitimate interests — fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement.
  • Consent — push notifications (you can withdraw at any time in your browser settings).

4. Data Retention

  • Chat history: Retained for 12 months from the date of each message, then automatically and permanently deleted.
  • Age verification & consent records: Retained for the lifetime of your account plus 3 years — required as legal proof of consent.
  • Payment records: Retained for 7 years from the date of transaction, as required by EU accounting and tax law. These records are anonymised upon account deletion.
  • Cookie consent logs: Retained for 3 years.
  • All other data: Deleted within 30 days of account deletion.

5. Data Sharing

We never sell your personal data. We share data only with:

  • Supabase — our database provider (EU region). Data is stored on servers located in the European Union.
  • Stripe — payment processing. Stripe is GDPR-compliant and certified PCI DSS Level 1.
  • OpenRouter / AI model providers — your chat messages are sent to an AI model to generate responses. Messages are processed and not stored by the model provider beyond the duration of the API call.
  • Law enforcement — only when required by a valid legal order.

6. Data Storage and Security

All data is stored on EU-region Supabase servers. Data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.3. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt and never stored in plaintext. Access to production data is restricted to authorised personnel only.

We will respond to all requests within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.

8. Account Deletion

You can delete your account at any time from your Account settings. Upon deletion we will:

  • Permanently delete all chat history, conversations, and profile data within 30 days.
  • Anonymise payment transaction records (we remove your identity but retain transaction amounts for accounting purposes).
  • Retain age verification and consent records for the legally required period.
