We act as data controller for the processing activities described in this policy. Where we process personal data on behalf of our customers (e.g., privileged-session logs inside the VaultPAM platform), we act as a data processor and the respective customer is the controller. Those processing activities are governed by the Data Processing Agreement.
2. Personal Data We Collect

- Demo requests: name, business e-mail, company, role, and optional notes.
2.2 Trial and registered users
- Account credentials (e-mail address and hashed password).
- Profile information you optionally provide (name, job title, phone).

This website uses only essential cookies required for secure operation:
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration | Party |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Cloudflare bot-management (DDoS protection) | 30 minutes | Cloudflare |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare security challenge result cache | 30 minutes | Cloudflare |
vp_session | Authenticated user session token (app only) | Session / 30 days if "remember me" | VaultPAM |
We do not place marketing or analytical cookies. No consent banner is required for strictly necessary cookies under GDPR Recital 47.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Art. 6)
| Processing activity | Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6) |
|---|---|
| Responding to contact / demo requests | Art. 6(1)(b) — contract / pre-contractual steps |
| Account registration and service delivery | Art. 6(1)(b) — performance of contract |
| Billing and invoicing | Art. 6(1)(c) — legal obligation (VAT, accounting law) |
| Server log processing (security, uptime) | Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interests (IT security) |
| Service improvement via usage telemetry | Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interests (product development) |
| Marketing communications (with opt-in) | Art. 6(1)(a) — consent |
Where we rely on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)), we have conducted a balancing test and concluded that our interests do not override your rights and freedoms, given the limited scope of data processed and the security purpose served.
5. Recipients and Third-Party Processors

| Cloudflare | CDN, DDoS protection, TLS termination | IP address, request headers | EU PoPs (SCCs applied) |
| Stripe | Payment processing | Billing data, name, e-mail | EU (SCCs applied) |

No personal data is transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area except where Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent safeguards under GDPR Chapter V are in place.
