How DesignPlan handles your data. Last updated [date].

Who we are

DesignPlan is run by [your name or company], [country]. We are responsible for your data (the controller). Questions or requests: [contact email].

What we collect

  • Your account: email address, name if you give one, and your password, which is stored only as a secure hash.
  • What you save in the tools: assessments and snapshots, evidence, growth plans, stories, interviews, case studies and UX plans.
  • Your email choices: whether you get important updates, and whether and when you said yes to the newsletter and marketing emails.
  • Technical logs on our server, such as IP address and time of a request, to keep the service running and secure.

We don't use analytics, advertising or tracking tools.

Why, and on what legal basis

  • To give you your account and keep what you save: to provide the service you signed up for (contract).
  • To send the newsletter and marketing emails: only if you said yes (consent). You can withdraw it in Settings at any time.
  • To send important updates about DesignPlan, once it sends email: to run the service you signed up for. You can turn them off in Settings.
  • To keep the service secure and fix problems: our legitimate interest in running a safe service.

Who processes it for us

  • Hetzner Online GmbH hosts the app and its database on a server in Germany. Your data stays in the EU.

Hetzner processes data only on our instructions, under a data processing agreement.

How long we keep it

Until you delete your account. Deleting it removes everything at once, including finalized snapshots. Server logs and backups are kept for a limited time: [how long server backups are kept].

Your rights

You can do most of this yourself in Settings:

  • See and download your data: Settings, Download your data.
  • Correct it: edit your name and email in Settings, and your work in the tools.
  • Delete it: Settings, Delete account.
  • Withdraw consent to emails: Settings, Emails from DesignPlan.

You can also ask us to restrict or stop processing, or object to it, by writing to [contact email]. If you think we handle your data wrongly, you can complain to your data protection authority.

Cookies

We use one kind of cookie: the sign-in cookie that keeps you logged in. It's needed for the app to work, so we don't ask for consent. Your theme choice is stored in your own browser and never sent to us.
