1.1 Registration and User Account

When you register on our website or create a user account, we collect and store the following personal data:

• Username

• Hashed passwords (using secure hashing algorithms to protect your credentials)

• IP address at the time of registration and during each login

This data enables us to manage your account, authenticate users, and prevent unauthorized access. We do not store passwords in plain text.

• Any information you voluntarily provide (e.g., in contact forms or support requests)

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

To enhance your experience and enable core functionalities, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies (e.g., pixels or local storage). Cookies are small text files stored on your device.

• Session Cookies: These are temporary and deleted when you close your browser. They help maintain your session during navigation.

• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period (up to 12 months) and allow us or trusted partners to recognize your browser on return visits, improving personalization and analytics.

You can manage cookies via your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit certain features. For detailed cookie information, please refer to our [Cookie Policy] (if applicable, link here).

We use cookies for:

• Essential purposes (e.g., login security)

• Analytics (e.g., via anonymized tools like Google Analytics, where data is aggregated and not linked to individuals)

• Marketing (e.g., targeted ads, with your consent where required)

3. Purposes of Data Processing

Your personal data is processed for the following legitimate purposes:

• Providing and maintaining our services (e.g., account management)

• Ensuring security and preventing fraud

• Analyzing usage to improve our website

• Communicating with you (e.g., support responses)

• Complying with legal obligations

We do not process data for automated decision-making that produces legal effects without human oversight.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of personal data is based on:

• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR: For contract performance or pre-contractual measures (e.g., account creation).

• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR: For our legitimate interests, such as site security, functionality, and fraud prevention, balanced against your rights.

• For users in Switzerland: Art. 13 FADP, ensuring processing is necessary and proportionate.

Where required (e.g., for marketing), we seek your explicit consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with:

• Service Providers: Trusted third parties (e.g., hosting providers, analytics tools) bound by data processing agreements ensuring confidentiality.

• Legal Authorities: If required by law, court order, or to protect our rights.

• Business Transfers: In case of merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

All transfers outside the EEA (e.g., to the US) use Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards to protect your data.

6. Data Storage and Security

• Storage Duration: Personal data is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined (e.g., account data until deletion request; logs for 6 months for security). Inactive accounts may be deleted after 2 years.

• Security Measures: We implement technical and organizational safeguards, including encryption, access controls, and regular audits, to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration.

Under GDPR and FADP, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
