2. Data processed

For non-logged-in users: The submitted text or URL is sent once to Anthropic (see point 5) for analysis and is not stored by us in plain text afterwards. The database only retains: AI / fake score, detected signals, input length, timestamp and a SHA-256 hash of the IP address (truncated to 16 characters) for abuse prevention.

For registered users we additionally store: email address, password (as a hash only), registration date, verification status and the full text of your own analyses, so that your personal history and the detailed reasoning can be displayed.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of contract — providing account features) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operational security for the IP hash).

3. Server logs

On every request the web server automatically records the IP address, browser type, timestamp and requested resource for the purposes of operations and abuse prevention (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). These logs are deleted after no more than 14 days.

4. Cookies

Only strictly necessary cookies are used (a session cookie for login and a language cookie). No tracking, analytics, advertising or third-party cookies are used. Consent under §165 TKG 2021 is not required for strictly necessary cookies.
