DRAFT — Template. Requires review by qualified legal counsel before being used as a binding policy. Replace bracketed placeholders before publication.
This Privacy Policy describes how Sycrion ("we", "us") processes personal data through the Sycrion Reveal service ("Service"). It applies to visitors of our website, users of the free scan, and subscribers to paid tiers.
We are committed to processing personal data lawfully, fairly and transparently in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and applicable national laws.
1. Data Controller
Sycrion [registered entity name], [registered address], is the data controller responsible for personal data processed in connection with the Service.

2. Personal Data We Process
When you use the Service we may process the following categories of personal data:
- Identification data: name, business email, company name and role
- Account data: hashed password, login timestamps, session tokens
- Service data: domain(s) you submit for scanning, scan results, alert preferences
- Communication data: support messages, contact form submissions
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, language preference
- Usage data: pages viewed, features used, scan history
- Billing data: company billing address, VAT number, payment method (processed by our payment provider — we do not store full card numbers)
3. Purposes and Legal Bases (GDPR Art. 6)
- Performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): providing the Service, processing scans, delivering reports and alerts, billing
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): service security, fraud prevention, product improvement, internal analytics

- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): accounting, tax, and statutory reporting obligations
4. Recipients and Subprocessors
We share personal data only with carefully selected subprocessors who provide the technical infrastructure needed to deliver the Service. Current subprocessors include:
- Vercel Inc. — hosting and edge compute (EU region)
- Neon, Inc. — managed PostgreSQL database (EU region)
- Resend — transactional email delivery
- [Payment processor name] — payment processing
- [Customer support tool] — support ticketing
5. International Transfers
Our infrastructure is deployed in the European Union. Where a subprocessor processes data outside the EEA, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (Commission Decision 2021/914) and, where applicable, additional safeguards.
6. Retention Periods
- Free scan results: retained for 90 days from creation
- Subscription scan results: retained for the duration of the subscription plus 12 months

8. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest, access controls, audit logging and regular security reviews. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we do not guarantee absolute security.
9. Cookies
We use only strictly necessary cookies (session, security, language preference). We do not use third-party analytics or advertising cookies by default. Where additional cookies are introduced, they will require explicit opt-in consent.
