We act as data controller for our website, enquiries, contracting, recruitment and supplier relationships.
During product discovery, user research, development, testing, hosting or maintenance, we may act as a data processor for a client that determines the purposes of processing.
If we process personal data for a client, requests concerning that data should normally be directed to the client. We will assist the client as required by contract and applicable law.
Depending on your relationship with us, the people concerned may include client teams, research participants, product users, applicants and suppliers.
We may collect:
Business and relationship data: names, organisation, role, work contact details, correspondence, meeting information, contracts and billing records.
Business-contact and project-stakeholder details.
User-research notes, testing feedback and recordings where agreed.
Development-account identifiers, repository activity, test data, application logs, support records and deployment metadata.
Website and technical data: IP address, browser and device details, pages viewed, referral source, approximate location derived from IP, cookie choices, timestamps and security logs.
Information you choose to provide in enquiries, support requests, applications, surveys or other communications.
Please do not provide sensitive or unnecessary personal data.
Where sensitive information is genuinely required, we limit its use to the stated purpose and apply any additional legal safeguards, including explicit consent where required.
We may collect personal data:
Directly from you, your employer, a client, group organiser, authorised user or account administrator.
Automatically from the website, applications, devices, integrations and security systems you use.
From service providers and business partners involved in an authorised transaction or service.
From public or licensed sources where lawful and relevant to due diligence, research, professional services or business development.
We may process personal data to:
Scope and deliver product design, engineering, testing and DevOps work.
Conduct authorised user research and quality assurance.
Secure development environments, manage releases and provide maintenance.
Respond to enquiries, prepare proposals, contract with clients and manage suppliers.
Protect people, information, systems and services.
Prevent fraud, misuse and security incidents.
Comply with applicable laws and regulations.
Resolve disputes and establish or defend legal claims.
Maintain required business and operational records.
Codenara Labs does not sell personal data for money.
We also do not use client-controlled data for our own unrelated advertising purposes.
Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable German data-protection law require a legal basis, we rely, as appropriate, on:
Performance of a contract or steps requested before entering into a contract.
Legitimate interests, such as delivering and improving services, securing systems, administering our business and communicating with business contacts, balanced against individual rights.
Compliance with legal obligations.
Consent, including for non-essential cookies or sensitive data when the law requires consent.
Protection of vital interests in a genuine emergency, where applicable.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting processing already carried out.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may request information about the relevant balancing assessment.
We disclose personal data only where reasonably necessary.
Recipients may include:
Hosting, cloud, connectivity, security, analytics, communications, customer-support and professional-service providers.
Payment, identity, logistics, travel, marketplace, platform, research or other operational partners relevant to the requested service.
Our clients or their authorised administrators when we process data on their behalf.
Professional advisers, insurers, auditors, potential transaction counterparties and successors, subject to appropriate confidentiality requirements.
Courts, regulators, law-enforcement bodies or other recipients where disclosure is legally required or necessary to protect rights and safety.
Service providers are selected with regard to confidentiality, security and data-protection obligations.
Third parties acting for their own purposes are responsible for their own privacy practices and privacy notices.
Because our clients, users, suppliers and infrastructure may be located in different countries, personal data may be transferred outside Germany.
Where transfer restrictions apply, we use recognised safeguards such as:
Adequacy decisions
Approved contractual clauses
Binding contractual commitments
Other lawful transfer mechanisms
Supplementary safeguards where appropriate
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
We take into account contract duration, client instructions, account activity, security and backup cycles, dispute periods and applicable legal, tax, audit or regulatory requirements.
Website enquiries and unsuccessful proposals: generally up to 24 months after the last substantive contact.
Client, supplier, transaction and accounting records: for the duration of the engagement and any applicable statutory limitation or record-keeping period that follows.
Client-controlled service data: for the period specified in the relevant contract, after which it is deleted or returned in accordance with agreed instructions, subject to secure backup rotation and legal holds.
Security logs: for a proportionate period based on risk, unless required for an incident investigation, dispute or legal claim.
We use proportionate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data.
These measures may include:
Role-based access controls
Authentication controls
Encryption where appropriate
Logging and monitoring
Secure development and change-management processes
Vulnerability management
Incident-management procedures
Backup and recovery controls
Confidentiality obligations
Supplier security reviews
No information system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore review and adapt our controls in light of identified risks, legal requirements and service needs.
