Privacy Policy
1. Storage of Personal Information
liiive stores personal information only to the extent required for providing a functional annotation system. The following data is stored:
- Annotation content, i.e. comment and reply text.
- User display names and avatar URLs as part of the annotation.
- Timestamps for annotation creation and update events.
- Aggregated anonymous visit statistics for annotation rooms.
- Aggregated anonymous edit statistics derived from annotations.
If you choose to sign in to liiive with an account - rather than use it anonymously without logging in - the following information provided automatically by your identity provider (Google or Github) will be stored in addition:
- Display name.
- E-Mail address.
- Time of account creation and last sign-in.
- Information about which rooms you created, and which you visited. This data is used exclusively to enable your dashboard, and is visible only to you.
2. E-Mail Address
Your E-Mail address is used exclusively for the purpose of sending out system information messages and notifications. I will not share your address with anyone, nor send out information on a regular basis (such as newsletters).
3. Data Hosting and Processing
liiive uses trusted third-party cloud service providers to store and process data:
- Supabase: used to manage database storage and authentication services.
- DigitalOcean: used for hosting the real-time communications infrastructure that powers liiive.
These providers are compliant with industry-standard security and data protection practices. Data may be processed and stored in the regions or data centers operated by these providers, which may include locations outside your home country.
4. Payment & Credit Card Information
liiive does not store any payment information, such as your credit card number or billing address. All payment transactions are securely managed by Paddle, a trusted third-party provider specializing in payment infrastructure for Software-as-a-Service companies. When you make a purchase, you interact directly with Paddle's secure payment platform. At no point does liiive process, store, or access your sensitive payment details.
For more information about Paddle's security practices, compliance certifications, and data handling procedures, please visit Paddle's Trust Center at security.paddle.com. If you have any questions about payments or encounter any issues, feel free to contact me at support@liiive.now or reach out to Paddle directly through their support portal.
5. Site Visit Tracking
Like most websites, liiive tracks site visits to determine the number of people using the service. This information is aggregated (e.g. number of visits to a room over time), and completely anonymous. None of the collected information personally identifies you.
7. Your Rights as a User
As a user, you have the right to know what personal information liiive stores about you. Under the terms of the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR) you are furthermore entitled to demand that I correct or delete personal data about you, or otherwise limit or revoke your permission to me to process it. If you want to exercise those rights, or have any questions about them, please contact me at support@liiive.now.
If you believe that this service violates data protection laws in any way, you can file a complaint at a regulating authority. In Austria, the relevant authority is the Austrian Data Protection Authority.
