Data Privacy & Data Collection

For the Inspector we do store the data of your last 5 executions. This data is stored on AWS in Frankfurt.

If errors occur, these are logged with our monitoring services. Logtail primarily stores this data in the EU, while Sentry is based in the USA. Further information can be found in the privacy policies of Logtail and Sentry.

If a flow is configured to send data to third parties (e.g. if you submit data to Google Sheets), this data will of course end up with Google. Please refer to Google's privacy policy.

We use PostHog to track your user interactions. PostHog is based in the EU and you can view their privacy policy here. PostHog's privacy policy also includes a translation of the legal text into plain English.

We use Marker.io for error reporting within the software. Data is transferred when initiated by the end user by reporting a problem. A screenshot can also be attached and the browser error log (console logs) and information about the browser and the device are also sent. The email and the name of the active account are also sent.

The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us. We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the statutory provisions (GDPR, TKG 2003). In this data protection information, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing on our website.

If you contact us using the form on the website or by e-mail, the data you provide will be stored by us for six months for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

We have concluded a corresponding contract with the provider for order data processing. Your IP address is recorded, but immediately pseudonymised [e.g. by deleting the last 8 bits]. As a result, only a rough localisation is possible. data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of § 96 para. 3 TKG and Art 6 para. 1 lit a (consent) and/or f (legitimate interest) of the GDPR. our concern within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our offer and our website. As the privacy of our users is important to us, the user data is pseudonymised [pseudonymisation is recommended for the legal ground of "legitimate interest"; this must be clarified with the web analysis service].

Account information is obtained via access to Google Ads in order to ensure auto-completion for project settings. In addition, so-called operational activities are also carried out via the interface, including the creation and pausing of campaigns, ad groups, ads and associated keywords. Statistics on keywords are also retrieved via this interface.

Access to the Search Console ensures that Shopstory can query past keywords and URLs with the respective performance. This is necessary because Shopstory can also use SEA efficiency and SEO recommendations to check how they have performed.

Account information is obtained through access to Google Analytics, which is used for auto-completion in project settings.
