• Account data: e-mail address, name if provided, authentication identifiers and the sign-in method you chose.
• Document data: the EDI, X12 or XML content you upload or paste, together with the analysis results derived from it.
• Usage data: number of analyses per billing period, plan and quota state, and timestamps required for limits and billing.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type and request logs generated when serving the application.

• Performance of contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): providing accounts, running analyses, storing results and enforcing plan quotas.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): platform security, abuse prevention, error diagnostics and service improvement.
• Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): retention of commercial and tax-relevant records.
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): optional communications you explicitly opt into. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Structural validation runs deterministically on our own engine. For plain-language explanations, an extract of the document is sent to a large language model provider. Before transmission the content passes a masking step that replaces detected personal identifiers such as names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, IBANs and tax identifiers. Documents processed through EDI EXPLAINER are not used to train models.

• Cloud hosting, database, authentication and file storage provider operating within the EU where configured.
• AI model gateway used solely to generate explanations for masked document extracts.
• Payment provider for subscription billing, which receives only the data required to process a payment.

All processors act on our documented instructions under data processing agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. Where a transfer outside the EEA is unavoidable, it is based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

• Analyses and uploaded documents remain available until you delete them; deletion from your history removes the stored document and its findings.
• Account data is deleted after account closure, subject to statutory retention periods.
• Technical logs are kept for a short diagnostic window and then removed.

• Access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing (Art. 15–18 GDPR).
• Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) and objection to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR).
• Withdrawal of consent with effect for the future and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
