Privacy Policy

Data processing in accordance with GDPR and revFADP

1. Privacy at a Glance

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations (GDPR, revFADP) and this privacy policy.

As an infrastructure provider, ArmorDB processes two types of data: Account Metadata (managed by us) and Tenant Content Data (managed by you, the user).

2. Data Collection & Cookies

Essential Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies for authentication and security. These cookies are provided by our authentication partner, Clerk, and are required for you to log in and access your dashboard. Optional analytics cookies are used only after you consent.

Optional Google Analytics

With your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), we use Google Analytics 4 to measure visits, navigation, engagement and product operations, including their success, failure and duration. Google receives technical device and connection information, including the IP address used for transmission, and uses analytics cookies to distinguish visits. Google may process data in the USA. We do not send account identities, database names or contents, SQL, passwords, connection strings, form contents, or raw URL query parameters. Advertising storage, Google Signals and advertising personalization are disabled. Event data is retained for up to 14 months. Use the Privacy settings button to reject analytics or withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent stops future tracking and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies; it does not automatically erase previously collected data. Ahrefs analytics is no longer loaded.

Server Log Files

Our servers automatically collect information transmitted by your browser: IP address, timestamp, browser type, and referrer. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest) to ensure system stability and security.

3. Sub-processors & Infrastructure

Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany)

All managed database instances and backups are hosted on Hetzner infrastructure in Germany. This ensures high security and data residency within the EU/EEA.

Clerk, Inc. (USA)

Authentication and user management are handled by Clerk. Data transfers to the USA are secured via Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to ensure a level of protection comparable to EU standards.

4. Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

For our B2B customers, we act as a Processor for the data stored in your tenant databases. We have established a standard Data Processing Agreement (DPA) that governs how we handle data on your behalf. To request a copy of our DPA, please contact us at[email protected].

5. Your Rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, and portability of your data. In Switzerland, you can also contact the FDPIC (Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner).

Requests for data stored within a tenant database should be directed to the respective website/app operator, as ArmorDB does not have access to tenant content.
