This Privacy Policy is governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and German federal data protection law (BDSG). These regulations provide one of the highest standards of data protection worldwide and apply to all users of our services, regardless of their location.
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate deletion request or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods).
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format.
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing at any time, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data.
You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the Legal Notice (Imprint).
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
The page provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
This data is not merged with other data sources. Data collection is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of their website.

The following data is collected during registration:
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For data collected during the registration process, this is the case when you delete your account or the registration is canceled.
As part of using our service, we store the product data, domain URLs, and configurations you enter. This data is required to provide the AI visibility functionality (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). The data is stored as long as your account is active.
To improve the visibility of your business in AI-based searches and recommendations, we make business, product, and service data available in machine-readable formats via public interfaces. Whether third-party AI systems retrieve and use this data is decided by the respective providers.
Note: Only business-related data is transmitted. The customer is responsible for ensuring that data provided via the platform does not contain personal data of third parties (e.g. end customers) without their consent or another legal basis under Art. 6 GDPR.
The following AI systems and their operators may access the provided data:
Data transmission partially occurs to third countries outside the EU/EEA, particularly to the USA.
Legal Basis for Third-Country Transfer:
More information on data protection measures of AI providers:
Data transmission to AI systems is based on the following legal grounds:
You have the right to object to the provision of your data to AI systems at any time.
How to Object:
Consequences of Objection: After deactivation, your data will no longer be provided via AI feeds. This may reduce the discoverability of your business in AI-based searches. Already crawled data may still be available in AI systems for a transition period (typically 30-90 days) until their caches are updated.
Data is provided via our AI feeds as long as your account is active and you have not deactivated AI visibility. AI systems may store the data for their own purposes; the storage duration is beyond our control and is governed by the privacy policies of the respective AI provider.
We do not use any analytics or advertising tools; only technically necessary session cookies for authentication are used. An exception applies exclusively when accessed via a partner link: After your express consent, we set an affiliate tracking cookie <span class="font-mono">affiliate_ref</span> (Bronze 30 days, Silver 60 days, Gold 90 days; HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax) for anonymous attribution of referrals. Details can be found in our Cookie Policy.
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and agree to receive the newsletter. Consent is given through an opt-in procedure.
Data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
Retention period: Your email address is stored for newsletter delivery until you revoke your consent or unsubscribe from the newsletter. After unsubscribing, your email address is deleted without delay.
For sending emails (confirmation emails, password reset, notifications), we use external SMTP service providers. Your email address and the content of the email are transmitted to the service provider. Data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract fulfillment).
For payment processing (credit cards), we use the payment service provider Stripe, Inc., 510 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
Processed Data:
Purpose: Data transmission to Stripe is necessary for contract fulfillment (payment processing, invoicing, subscription management) and fraud prevention.
Legal Basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract fulfillment). Processing is necessary for the performance of the contract.
Third Country Transfer:
Stripe processes personal data partly in the USA. Stripe, Inc. is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and has concluded EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR. This ensures an adequate level of data protection.
Retention Period: Stripe retains payment data for the duration of your subscription and for statutory retention periods (in Germany: 10 years for tax-relevant data). Data is deleted after expiry of these periods.

EU-US Data Privacy Framework: Stripe DPF Certification
For routing AI requests to plan-enabled AI providers, we use OpenRouter LLC, USA.
Only business-related data is transmitted (product/service data, company name). Personal customer data (name, email, address) is NOT shared with OpenRouter or the AI platforms.
Legal Basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing the AI visibility service).
We document the currently used model versions transparently. Changes are reflected here promptly. A machine-readable version is at https://beconova.de/wai.json:

All calls route through OpenRouter as API gateway. The selection is continuously adjusted when providers deprecate models or cheaper/better alternatives become available. We use no models classified as high-risk under EU AI Act Annex III - our use is limited to content generation and brand monitoring (limited risk, transparency obligation per Art. 50 EU AI Act).
We have concluded Data Processing Agreements (DPA) with our service providers in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Details on data processing can be found in our DPA document.
