eMail Address

Here is how we collect and store email addresses:

• Support form: If a user decides to use the support form to contact us, we need to store and process the entered email address to send a response email and to keep a history of support requests.
• Receive 'suggestions for improvement' emails: If a user decides to enter an email address to get recommendations on how to select optimized vectorization parameters, we need to store and process the entered email address to send a response. Also the entered email address is stored in the local storage of the browser to pre-fill the email field for next uploads.
• Purchase process: For each user purchasing access to this website on our pricing page, we create a user account in our system. The email address entered during the purchase process is the primary identification for that user account and is used eg. during the login process. Inactive user accounts will be deleted automatically after 100 days.
• If a user was invited to join this service as a 'team member' the entered email address will be stored and processed for essential website functions to work. These team member email addresses will be use as the primary identification for that user account and is used eg. during the login process. Also team member email addresses are shared with the team manager so that the team manager can see for which team members by email address he/she is paying the subscription fee.

We will never give or sell email addresses to third parties for marketing or tracking purposes.

Name, Address, Phone Number

We do not request or store your name, address or phone number.

Log Files

We only store log files with anonymized IP addresses. These log files also contain request date/time, operating system identifier, requested page url, bytes served, user agent, referrer url and status codes which are not personal information. We store log files to ensure smooth operations and protection against attacks (e.g. DoS and DDoS attacks). Log files are deleted after 14 days.

Rate Limitation

To protect this service from abusive requests (eg. DOS and DDoS attacks) we temporarily store an anonymized IP address of the user's IP address as a hash value in our database. These entries are deleted after 60 minutes.

Image Uploads

We do not extract personal information from uploaded images.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6 (1) point (e) of the GDPR in conjunction with Section 3 of the new BDSG.

All uploaded images are deleted automatically after 7 days.
