3. Legal basis and consent

We process information to perform the service you request, to meet legal obligations, and for our legitimate interests in operating and securing the website. Where consent is required for optional processing such as non-essential analytics, we rely on that consent and you may withdraw it.

4. Data sharing

We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed on our behalf by service providers necessary to run the website, including:

• Database and storage providers
• Authentication providers
• Analytics providers, where enabled

5. Invitation links

Invitations are accessed through a unique, hard-to-guess link. Anyone who has that link can open the invitation and respond to it. Please share invitation links only with the intended recipient and avoid posting them publicly.

6. Data retention

We keep invitation and account information for as long as your account exists or as long as needed to provide the service, and afterwards only where required for legal, security or record-keeping purposes. You can ask us to delete your data using the contact details below.

7. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including access controls and database row-level security, to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Cookies and similar technologies

We use necessary storage and cookies to keep you signed in, remember your invitation draft and your sound preference. Where optional analytics or measurement technologies are used, they help us understand how the website is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling necessary storage may break parts of the site.

You may also withdraw consent for optional processing. Write to us using the contact details below and we will respond within a reasonable period.

11. International processing

Service providers we use may process information on servers located outside your country. Where that happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
