  • Scan results (compliance checks and scores)

When you create an account

  • Email address
  • Name (optional, via Clerk)
  • All scan history linked to your account
  • Payment details (processed by Stripe — we never see card numbers)

3. Legal basis for processing

  • Contract — processing your scans and delivering results you requested

  • To provide your dashboard and scan history
