4. Why we process data and legal bases (GDPR)

We process personal data to:

  • provide and operate the service;
  • secure accounts and prevent fraud or abuse;
  • support users, maintain reliability, and improve product quality;
  • comply with legal obligations;
  • communicate account, billing, and security information.

Where required, we rely on contract performance, legal obligation, consent, or legitimate interests.

5. Cookies and local storage

We use, among other things:

  • necessary authentication cookies (such as accessToken and refreshToken);
  • local/session storage for product functionality and UI preferences;
  • session-related storage for widget/embed flows.

Necessary cookies are required to operate the service securely.

6. How we share personal data

We share data only where needed with service providers and processors, such as:

  • infrastructure and cloud providers;
  • storage providers for files and screenshots (for example AWS S3);
  • payment processor (Stripe);
  • email delivery provider;
  • integration partners (for example Figma);
  • AI provider for comparison features (currently Anthropic, if enabled).

We put appropriate contractual safeguards in place where required.

7. International transfers

Depending on your use of the service, data may be processed outside the EEA. Where required, we use appropriate transfer safeguards (for example Standard Contractual Clauses).

8. Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary. Current implementation examples include:

  • password reset tokens: up to 1 hour;
  • email verification tokens: up to 1 hour;
  • email change verification codes: up to 15 minutes;
  • refresh sessions: up to 90 days (or earlier on logout/revocation).

Project data, logs, and billing records are retained as needed for service delivery, security, and legal obligations.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including:

  • authentication and access controls;
  • security headers and rate limiting;
  • encrypted transport (TLS) in production;
  • logging and monitoring for incident detection.

No system is completely secure. Report suspected vulnerabilities to support@layernote.io.
