4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area, we process your personal data based on:

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service.

Technology detection data from public crawls is retained and updated periodically.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes encryption of data in transit (TLS), secure storage of credentials, and regular security reviews.
