The Platform includes Veryfront Code, Veryfront Studio, Veryfront Cloud and Veryfront Agent. This Policy covers processing for which Veryfront is the controller.

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as a name or email address. Veryfront processes personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the German Federal Data Protection Act (“BDSG”) and the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (“TDDDG”).

2. Processing of Personal Data

2.1. Visiting the Website

When you visit the Website, Veryfront's servers automatically process the data your browser transmits (server log files):

  • IP address of the requesting device,
  • date and time of access,
  • URL accessed and the website from which you came (referrer URL),
  • browser, operating system and device type,
  • amount of data transferred, status code and error messages.

Purpose: Delivering the Website, ensuring a stable connection, and detecting and preventing attacks.

Legal basis: Veryfront's legitimate interest in these purposes (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Storage: Server logs are retained only as long as necessary for operation and security.

2.2. User

When you register as a user, Veryfront processes the following user data:

  • first and last name,
  • email address,
  • language,
  • profile picture, if provided,
  • date, time and IP address of registration and sign-in.

Purpose: Providing and managing your user profile, authenticating you and preventing misuse.

Legal basis: Performance of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). If you use the Platform as a User of one of Veryfront's customers, the legal basis is Veryfront's legitimate interest in providing the access requested by the customer for you and preventing misuse (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Storage: Until your user profile is deleted. When a customer's contract ends, Veryfront deletes data relating to that customer's account in accordance with Veryfront's Terms of Use, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

2.3. Single Sign-On (SSO)

You can use your Google, GitHub or Microsoft account to register and sign in to Veryfront. This account is linked to your Veryfront user. Your browser is redirected to the provider for authentication. The provider then sends Veryfront your email address and, where available, your name and profile picture.

Purpose: Simplified registration and sign-in.

Legal basis: Performance of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). If you use the Platform on behalf of a customer, the legal basis is Veryfront’s legitimate interest in providing and securing your access (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

The providers' own privacy policies apply to their processing: Google, GitHub and Microsoft.

2.4. Using the Platform

Customer Content: When you use the Platform within a customer's account, the content, files, code, prompts, outputs and other data you work with are “Customer Content”. This includes personal data of end users of the customer's applications. Veryfront processes Customer Content solely as a processor on behalf of that customer.

The customer, typically your employer or client, acts as controller or as processor for another controller, depending on the use. The data processing agreement between the customer and Veryfront applies. Veryfront uses Customer Content only to provide the Platform and does not use it to train AI models.

To exercise your rights regarding Customer Content, please contact the customer, which will handle or forward your request as appropriate.

Usage data: Separately, Veryfront processes technical usage data as a controller, such as request counts, response times, error rates, models used and technical metadata from runs and logs. Customer Content contained in runs, logs or traces remains subject to the data processing agreement.

Purpose: Operating, securing, billing and improving the Platform. Statistics used across customers are aggregated and anonymised.

Legal basis: Performance of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) for operation and billing; Veryfront's legitimate interest in security, abuse prevention and improvement of the Platform (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Storage:

  • Grafana Cloud: logs are retained for 31 days and traces for 30 days.
  • Sentry: error events are retained for up to 90 days, full-detail traces for 30 days and sampled traces for up to 13 months.
  • Other usage and diagnostic data: deleted or anonymised when no longer needed to investigate and resolve the relevant fault or security incident.
  • Billing-relevant usage records: retained as set out in Section 2.5.

2.5. Billing and Payment

For paid services, Veryfront processes:

  • company name, address and VAT ID,
  • name and email address of the billing contact,
  • ordered services, credit purchases and consumption,
  • invoices and payment status.

Veryfront uses Stripe for payments (Section 3.4). Veryfront does not store credit card or bank account details itself.

Purpose: Billing and payment processing.

Legal basis: Performance of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and statutory retention obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR).

Storage: Until the applicable statutory retention periods under commercial and tax law expire (§ 257 German Commercial Code, § 147 German Fiscal Code). The period depends on the type of record.

2.6. Contact and Support

When you contact Veryfront by contact form, email or the Platform's feedback function, Veryfront processes the data you provide, such as name, company, email address, your message and any attachments. In-app feedback is processed through Sentry (Section 3.6).

Purpose: Answering your inquiry and providing support.

Legal basis: Performance of the contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). For other inquiries, the legal basis is Veryfront’s legitimate interest in answering your inquiry and providing support (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Storage: Until your inquiry has been dealt with, unless a contract is concluded or retention periods for business communications apply.

2.7. Emails

Veryfront sends you emails that are necessary for the contract, such as account confirmations, security notices, invoices and notices of changes under Veryfront's Terms of Use (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

3. Recipients and Service Providers

Veryfront uses carefully selected service providers. These providers act as processors on behalf of Veryfront. They are bound by Veryfront's instructions and a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR. Where a provider acts as an independent controller, Veryfront says so below.

3.1. Hosting, Infrastructure and Delivery

Details, including processing locations, are set out in Appendix 1 to Veryfront's Terms of Use. Where this data is Customer Content, Veryfront acts as a processor (Section 2.4). Otherwise, the legal basis is performance of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

3.3. Integrations

If you connect a third-party service to an account, Veryfront processes the connection metadata, access tokens and tool configuration required for the integration. When you use the integration, Veryfront transmits the requests, content and metadata you select to the connected provider to perform the action you requested.

The legal basis is performance of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). The connected provider is responsible for its own processing under its privacy policy.

Veryfront's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Legal basis: Storing and accessing these cookies does not require consent (§ 25 para. 2 no. 2 TDDDG).
