5. Data storage and security

Your data is stored securely via Supabase with servers in the EU. We take reasonable technical measures to protect your data, but no system is completely secure.

6. Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data

8. Children

KULTlog is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will note the date of the last update at the top of this page. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance.
