We share personal data only as needed with processors listed at Subprocessors, with professional advisors under confidentiality, with authorities where legally required, or in a corporate transaction under appropriate safeguards. Workspace data is not shared with other laboratories.
6.1 Data Hosting and Server Locations (EU / Frankfurt)
Primary application compute (Vercel serverless functions in region fra1, Frankfurt, Germany) and laboratory database, authentication, and file storage (Supabase in AWS eu-central-1, Frankfurt, Germany) are hosted exclusively within the European Union (Frankfurt am Main, Germany). Customer laboratory data remains stored in the EU.

Some subprocessors process data in the United States or other third countries. Where the GDPR applies, transfers rely on SCCs, an adequacy decision, or other lawful mechanisms. Request further information via contact@labmanagerpro.com.
8. Retention (Speicherdauer)
- Account and contract data: for the contractual relationship and thereafter as required under German commercial and tax law (often up to 6 or 10 years for certain records under HGB / AO)
- Customer Content: while the workspace is active; deletion/return after termination as described in the AVV/DPA
- Security logs: limited periods for security and abuse prevention
9. Security (Art. 32 GDPR)
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, including TLS in transit, multi-tenant isolation (including PostgreSQL RLS), role-based access, and audit logging. Absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
