Supabase Inc. (Singapore), database and authentication. Our instance runs in Frankfurt, Germany (eu-central-1). DPA: supabase.com/legal/dpa.

Anthropic, PBC (San Francisco, CA, USA), AI analysis (Buffett Brain). By contract, queries are not used to train their models.

We never sell your personal data and never use it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

Most personal data stays in the EU because our database and serverless functions run in Frankfurt, Germany.

A small subset is transferred to US-based processors (Anthropic, OpenAI, Resend, ImprovMX, Microsoft Clarity, Stripe). For these we rely on:

We use only strictly necessary cookies. Under TTDSG § 25 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 and ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3), no consent is required for these, so we don't show a cookie banner.
