2. What data we process
Uploaded content: Screenshots, photos or PDFs you upload for table extraction. These may include content you provide yourself (e.g. text, numbers, possibly personal data within tables).
Technical data: IP address, browser type, operating system, request timestamp — transmitted by your browser on each page request. This data is processed within server-side logs for a maximum of 30 days to ensure operation and prevent abuse.
Language preference & usage limit: Your preferred language (DE/EN) and your daily extraction limit are stored locally in your browser (Local Storage). This data does not leave your device.
3. Where your data is processed
Anthropic, PBC (USA) — Claude API: Uploaded images are transmitted to Anthropic for text recognition and table extraction. Transfer to the USA is based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Anthropic states that API content is not used for training purposes. More information: anthropic.com/legal/privacy.
Cloudinary (EU/USA) — HEIC conversion: For iPhone photos in HEIC format, the file is briefly uploaded to Cloudinary, converted to JPEG and deleted immediately after conversion. Other image formats are not transmitted to Cloudinary.
Lovable Cloud (EU) — hosting: The website and all server-side functions are operated via Lovable Cloud in the EU.
Paddle.com Market Limited (UK/EU/USA) — payment processing & Merchant of Record: When you purchase a paid plan (Pro subscription, Lifetime), Paddle.com Market Limited acts as our reseller and Merchant of Record (MoR). Paddle handles the entire order, payment, invoicing, tax collection and any refunds in its own name. As part of the checkout process, Paddle receives and processes in particular your name, email address, billing address, payment details (e.g. credit card, PayPal), IP address and transaction data. We only receive from Paddle the information necessary for the performance of the contract (e.g. customer/subscription ID, payment and subscription status, email address). The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (performance of contract) and Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR (tax obligations). Transfers to third countries (including the USA) are based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. More information: paddle.com/legal/privacy and paddle.com/legal/checkout-buyer-terms.
4. Storage duration
Uploaded images are not stored by us. Processing takes place directly in server memory and ends with the return of the extraction result. There is no database in which your images or extracted table data are persisted.
Server-side logs (anonymised file hash, file size, timestamp, error codes) are retained for a maximum of 30 days for error analysis and abuse prevention. Image content is not contained in logs.
5. Cookies & tracking
We do not use tracking cookies or personalised advertising. Only technically necessary Local Storage entries (language, daily limit) are created in your browser — this data does not leave your device.
