Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Mathys Seynaeve, operating ECGT Ready from Mamer, Luxembourg (the operator, we, us), processes personal data when you visit ecgtready.eu, request a demo, or use the platform. It is written to satisfy Articles 13 and 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Luxembourg implementing law of 1 August 2018.

Pre-incorporation notice. The controller will be the SARL once registered. Until then, the natural person above is the controller. Once the SARL is registered, this page is updated and a notice is sent to active customers.

1. Controller and contact

Controller: Mathys Seynaeve, Mamer, Luxembourg (until SARL is registered, then the SARL becomes controller).
Privacy and data protection contact (no formal DPO appointed under GDPR Art. 37): contact@ecgtready.eu
Supervisory authority: Commission Nationale pour la Protection des Donnees (CNPD), 15 Boulevard du Jazz, L-4370 Belvaux, cnpd.lu

We have not appointed a formal DPO because we do not meet the thresholds in GDPR Article 37(1). The dpo@ alias still routes to the privacy team so you have a single mailbox to write to.

2.3 Data we do not collect

We do not collect special category data (health, religion, etc.).
We do not collect children's data. The service is not directed at people under 16. Do not create an account for a minor.
We do not buy personal data from data brokers.

3. The scan engine and AI processing

When you submit a URL or text to be scanned, the page text is sent to our model provider (Anthropic, see subprocessors) for inference. Anthropic does not train its models on data sent through the API. We do not feed your data into a separate model for training either. See our AI Act notice and methodology for detail.

If your account holds a product profile or supporting documents, the profile and the labels and descriptions of those documents are also sent to Anthropic as grounding context for your audits. The uploaded files themselves are not sent to Anthropic; they are stored with our storage provider as your evidence on file and are used only to support your account.

If your plan includes seller compliance monitoring (Terms section 3.3), the service stores, on your instruction and on your behalf, data about third party sellers taken from publicly available web pages: public profile links, display names, publicly posted contact details, and the flagged content. For that data you are the data controller and we are your processor under the Data Processing Agreement; data subject requests relating to it are forwarded to you. Contact details found indirectly are marked as unsure in the product to support the accuracy principle.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Strictly necessary cookies are set when you sign in or save consent choices. All other categories require your consent. You can review or change your choice at any time from the cookie banner. See our cookie policy.

5. Recipients

We rely on a small number of subprocessors to run the platform. The full list, with location and transfer safeguards, is published at /legal/subprocessors. We do not sell personal data and we do not share it with advertisers.

6. International transfers

Some subprocessors operate from the United States (Anthropic, Vercel edge, Resend). Where personal data leaves the European Economic Area, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Decision 2021/914) and supplementary measures (encryption in transit, access controls, contractual data minimisation). Where a vendor is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework we may rely on that as the primary safeguard.

7. Your rights

Access: ask for a copy of your personal data.
Rectification: correct inaccurate data.
Erasure: ask us to delete your data, subject to legal retention.
Restriction: ask us to pause certain processing.
Portability: receive your data in a structured machine-readable format.
Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interest.
Withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw at any time.
Complaint: lodge a complaint with the CNPD (Luxembourg) or your local supervisory authority.

To exercise any right, write to contact@ecgtready.eu or use the data subject request flow. We respond within 30 days.

8. Automated decision-making

The scan engine produces an indicative risk score. This is not a decision with legal or similarly significant effect on you within the meaning of GDPR Article 22. A human (you) reviews and acts on the score. We never block your store or contact authorities on your behalf.

9. Security

See our security statement. In short: TLS in transit, encryption at rest, RLS + GRANT in the database, MFA available, audit logs, regular backups.

10. Breach notification

We notify the CNPD within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach where required by GDPR Article 33, and notify affected customers without undue delay where Article 34 applies.

11. Changes

We update this policy when our processing changes. The "Last reviewed" date at the top tracks the latest revision. Material changes are emailed to active customers.
