Privacy Policy
This privacy policy follows the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR - Regulation 2016/679) and the Spanish LOPDGDD (Organic Law 3/2018).
In one sentence: We store your data on servers in Germany (Hetzner). Facebook/Instagram tokens are encrypted (Fernet/AES-128) before storage. AI processing runs via Anthropic (USA) under EU Standard Contractual Clauses per Art. 46 GDPR. No tracking cookies, no selling of data to third parties.
1. Controller
Martin Schenk S.L.
C/ Claudio Coello 14, 5g · 28001 Madrid, Spain
CIF: B84645654
Email: legal@martin-schenk.es
2. What data we process
2.1 Account data
- Name, email, password (bcrypt hash). Email is the unique identifier.
- Preferred language (de/es/en) and locale.
- Technical data: IP address, User-Agent, timestamp of each login (technical logs, 90 days).
2.2 Project data
Each project contains data you enter + data the AI derives from it:
- Explicit inputs: project name, website URL, free- form description.
- AI analysis result (
business_analysis): industry, target audience, tone of voice, value proposition, products/services. Generated by Claude from the inputs above. - Content categories (3 per project): name + description, editable by you.
- Generated posts (
articles): theme, title, body, hashtags, CTA, Unsplash image URL, approval/publish status, IDs of published FB/IG posts.
2.3 Facebook / Instagram tokens
To allow MindBeamer to publish on your behalf, you provide a Facebook Page Access Token. It is encrypted immediately with Fernet (AES-128-CBC + HMAC-SHA256, key as server environment variable) and stored only in encrypted form. The token is NEVER returned to the client or logged. It is decrypted only at the exact moment of a Graph API call (verify, publish).
3. Legal basis
- Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of contract): to provide the service.
- Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligation): accounting and tax obligations.
- Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest): technical logs, fraud prevention, platform security.
- Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent): AI analysis + automated social media publishing — confirmed by your explicit approval of each post before publication.
4. Where your data lives
4.1 Primary storage
The entire database (PostgreSQL) and all files are on servers of Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany (data centre in Falkenstein or Nuremberg). No copies outside the EU.
4.2 AI processing
Claude calls currently go directly to the Anthropic API (api.anthropic.com, US region) under EU Standard Contractual Clauses per Art. 46 GDPR. Data is not used to train the models (zero-retention agreement with Anthropic). Migration to an EU region (via AWS Bedrock Frankfurt) is planned for a later phase — update here when implemented.

8. Cookies and local storage

Automated post generation is a suggestion with no legal effect of its own. Actual publication only occurs after your explicit approval. There are no automated decisions with legal effect within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
