We do not sell personal data. We share data only with authorized personnel and trusted service providers acting as processors, such as:
These providers process data on our behalf under Art. 28 GDPR agreements with appropriate safeguards.
When personal data is transferred outside the EEA/UK, we rely on suitable safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or adequacy decisions, and we perform Transfer Impact Assessments where required.
We keep data only as long as necessary for the purposes above. In general: account data while the account is active; backups for 30–60 days; security logs for 90–180 days; analytics for up to 14–24 months (only with consent); newsletter data until withdrawal or 24 months of inactivity. Specific periods may vary where required by law or to establish/defend legal claims.
Under GDPR (Arts. 15–22), you have rights to: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior lawful processing).
To exercise your rights, contact info@juniorlaunch.dev. We will respond within 30 days (extendable where permitted). We may request information to verify your identity.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Our lead authority is the Austrian Data Protection Authority (DSB); you can also contact your local authority.
We do not make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects based solely on automated processing. Any matching or ranking features are intended to assist discovery and do not determine outcomes by themselves.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, including encryption in transit, access controls, environment segregation, monitoring, and backups, to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, or loss.
The service is intended for individuals aged 16+ (or the local digital consent age). If we learn that an account belongs to someone under the applicable age, we will delete it.
