2. General Information on Data Processing
Noscrape processes personal data exclusively in accordance with applicable data protection laws, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Personal data is processed only to the extent necessary for providing the platform, the API, technical security, contract performance and compliance with legal obligations.
The legal bases for processing may include in particular Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract), Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligations) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests regarding security, stability and abuse prevention).
The platform is primarily intended for businesses, developers and professional users.
Noscrape does not permanently store API request contents. Obfuscated content, JSON data and transmitted texts are generally not stored persistently.
Generated font files may be stored temporarily or delivered through a CDN depending on the selected subscription plan. Such files are automatically deleted after the applicable retention period expires.
For technical operation and security purposes, technical metadata such as IP address, request timestamp, user agent, rate limit information or error messages may be processed. API request contents themselves are generally not stored in log files.
No automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR, profiling or AI-based user tracking takes place.
The use of certain functions may require the provision of personal data. Without such data, certain services may not be available.
The services are not intended for minors.
Personal data is generally processed within the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA).
3. Hosting and Infrastructure
The Noscrape platform and API are operated on infrastructure located within Germany.
Cloud servers, load balancers and storage services provided by hosting providers within the European Union are used to technically provide the services.
As part of the hosting process, technically necessary data such as IP addresses, network and connection data as well as system and error logs may be processed.
A content delivery network (CDN) may be used for the delivery of generated font files. Depending on the technical delivery process, data may be transferred through globally distributed servers.
Where legally required, data processing agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR are concluded with involved service providers.
Technical monitoring, health check and diagnostic systems may be used to ensure stability, security and availability.
Security copies and backups may be stored in encrypted form within the European Union.
For self-hosted on-premise installations, the customer is generally responsible for operation, infrastructure, data security and backups.
4. Access Data and Server Log Files
When accessing the platform or API, technical access data is automatically processed and stored in so-called server log files.
Processed data may include in particular IP address, request timestamp, HTTP method, requested URL, status code, user agent, technical device information, API-related metadata as well as rate limit and error information.
API request contents, transmitted texts and JSON payloads are generally not stored in log files.
Log data is processed to ensure stability, security and availability of the services as well as for error analysis, abuse detection, attack detection and technical administration.
The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of the platform).
Server log data is generally not merged with other data sources.
Technical log data is generally stored for a maximum of 30 days unless longer retention is required for security, abuse prevention or legal reasons.
To improve security, automated systems for detecting technical anomalies, attacks or abusive usage may be implemented in the future.
5. Registration and User Accounts
The creation of a user account may be required to use certain functions of the platform.
At present, only the user’s email address is generally processed during registration.
For paid subscription plans, additional billing and payment data such as company name, billing address, country or VAT ID may be processed.
Authentication is carried out באמצעות time-limited one-time codes sent to the registered email address. Traditional password storage is currently not used.
Users may manage multiple API keys. API keys are generally not stored in plain text for security reasons.
Technical metadata related to API keys, such as creation date, last usage timestamp or labels, may be processed.
The platform is primarily intended for businesses, developers and professional users.
Users are responsible for keeping access credentials and API keys confidential and protected against unauthorized access.
User accounts may be deactivated where required for technical, security-related or contractual reasons.
In the event of a complete account deletion, personal data will generally be deleted unless statutory retention obligations apply.
Legally required retention obligations, in particular under tax and commercial law, remain unaffected.
6. Login and Authentication
Login to Noscrape is currently performed using time-limited one-time codes sent to the registered email address.
One-time codes are currently valid for 10 minutes and are used solely to authenticate the respective user.
Login emails generally do not contain sensitive content other than the respective one-time code.
Technically necessary session cookies are used to manage authenticated sessions.
Technical information such as IP address, user agent, login timestamp and security-related metadata may be processed.
Rate limits and additional security mechanisms may be used to protect against abuse, automated login attempts and brute-force attacks.
Users can manage and delete API keys themselves.
Third-party login or social login providers are currently not used.
Processing is carried out to provide secure authentication functions, to perform the contract and based on legitimate interests in security and abuse prevention pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Content is processed only temporarily as part of the technical processing workflow, in particular within memory, worker or queue systems.
Submitted content, texts and JSON payloads are generally not stored permanently.
Generated font files may be stored temporarily and delivered through CDN systems depending on the selected subscription plan.
The availability and retention period of generated font files may vary depending on the selected plan.
Generated font files are generally deleted automatically after the applicable retention period expires.
For abuse detection, rate limiting and system security purposes, technical metadata such as IP addresses or API token metadata may be processed.
