GDPR

Last updated: 15 October 2026

This page is a template provided with the source code. Have a qualified lawyer review and adapt it for your jurisdiction and your operation before you rely on it or publish it as your own policy.

Scope

This page explains how the service approaches the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation. It applies where the GDPR governs the processing concerned.

Data controller

The operator of the instance you are using is the controller for the data described here. If you run your own instance, you are the controller for it.

What we process, and why

What we do not process

No account data, no special-category data, and no credentials for any supported platform. The service does not log in on your behalf.

Retention

Files and job records are removed after the configured retention window, with an hourly cleanup job. Rate-limit counters expire automatically on a short cycle.

Your rights

To exercise any of these, use the contact page. We may ask for enough information to locate the data, while asking for as little as possible.

International transfers

The service may be hosted outside the EEA. Where personal data is transferred, the operator is responsible for putting appropriate safeguards in place.

Complaints

You have the right to complain to your local supervisory authority. We would appreciate the chance to address your concern first.

No automated decision-making

The service does not carry out automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
