Dawarich Privacy Policy
We don't sell your data, don't train AI on it, and don't share it beyond the processors listed below. Most of our processors are in the EU.
This policy applies to the Dawarich SaaS at dawarich.app, the hosted tier, and the iOS and Android apps when connected to our SaaS. If you self-host, no data reaches us and you are the sole controller.
1. Controller
ZeitFlow UG (haftungsbeschränkt) — Kolonnenstraße 8, 10827 Berlin, Germany. Managing Director: Evgenii Burmakin. Email: hi@dawarich.app. Full company details: Impressum.
2. What We Process and Why
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6) |
|---|---|---|
| Account data (email, password hash, user ID, settings) | Operate your account | (1)(b) contract |
| Location history (coordinates, timestamps, device info) | Visualize history, compute statistics | (1)(b) contract |
| Billing data (name, email, address, tax ID, payment metadata) | Subscriptions, invoicing, tax | (1)(b) contract; (1)(c) legal obligation |
| Error logs, crash reports, performance metrics | Keep the service stable and secure | (1)(f) legitimate interest |
| Support correspondence | Respond to your requests | (1)(b) / (1)(f) |
| Poster print orders (name, shipping address, email, phone, the poster file) | Produce and ship posters you order, invoicing | (1)(b) contract; (1)(c) legal obligation |
The poster file you order is a map rendering of the location data you selected in the Poster Studio. It is shared with our payment and print partners (Section 3) solely to process and produce your order.
No automated decision-making with legal effect (Art. 22). Providing this data is voluntary but necessary to use the service.
Since March 2026, reverse-geocoded place names are no longer stored for SaaS users — they are computed on demand and discarded.
3. Recipients / Processors
All listed processors are bound by DPAs under Art. 28 GDPR. We do not sell data or share it for advertising.

| Cloudflare, Inc. | Marketing-site CDN | Global; EU where possible |

- Poster print files: deleted within 48 hours if the order is not paid; kept up to 90 days after purchase for reprints and support, then deleted.

You have the right to access (Art. 15), rectify (16), erase (17), restrict (18), port (20), object to processing based on legitimate interest (21), and withdraw consent at any time (7(3)) without affecting prior processing. To exercise any right, email hi@dawarich.app or delete your account in-app.
You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77). Our competent authority is the Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit (datenschutz-berlin.de); you may instead complain in your country of residence or workplace.
