Privacy Policy

Kalman Control UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Kastanienstraße 5, 47269 Duisburg, Germany. Privacy requests: info@automacer.com.

We process account and contact details, profile and company information, project posts, applications, messages, forum questions and answers, follows, helpful votes, reports, uploaded profile media or documents, verification information, consent records, and technical security logs.

The purposes are to create and secure accounts, provide profiles and marketplace functions, enable introductions and communication, verify accounts, prevent abuse, answer requests, and comply with legal obligations.

Core account and marketplace processing is necessary to perform the user agreement or take requested pre-contractual steps (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Security, fraud prevention, platform improvement and the defence of legal claims rely on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)). Statutory retention or disclosure relies on legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(c)). Where consent is specifically requested, Art. 6(1)(a) applies and consent may be withdrawn for the future.

Profile and company information is public only where the relevant visibility and verification conditions are met. Forum questions, answers, selected technical subjects, contribution dates and the contributor's public display name, account type and verification badge are visible to everyone. Email addresses are never used as a public forum-name fallback.

Users choose whether email or phone details are shown elsewhere. Project owners, applicants and conversation participants receive the information needed for their interaction. Do not upload confidential plant data, credentials, undisclosed vulnerabilities, trade secrets or third-party personal data without authority.

Automacer uses Supabase for database, authentication and storage services and Vercel for hosting and delivery. These providers process data on our instructions. Processing may involve countries outside the EEA; where required, recognised safeguards such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses are used.

Account and marketplace data is generally kept while the account or relevant relationship remains active. It is then deleted or anonymised when no longer needed, subject to statutory retention periods, unresolved disputes, abuse prevention and limitation periods. Acceptance records may be retained for the period needed to prove the user agreement. We use access controls, encrypted transport and restricted database permissions, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.

Automacer currently uses only cookies or similar storage needed for authentication, session security and basic preferences. See the Cookie Notice.

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or object to processing where the legal requirements are met. You may withdraw consent for the future. Automacer does not currently use solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

You may also complain to a supervisory authority, in particular the Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen. Contact us first if you would like us to resolve a concern.

We may update this notice when the service or law changes. Material changes will be communicated appropriately and the effective date will be updated.
