Each region operates fully isolated infrastructure, including separate databases, file storage, and document processing services. Data is processed exclusively within the selected region. No data is shared or replicated between regions, and no document data is shared with additional third-party service providers.
Google Cloud acts as a data processor pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR under a Data Processing Agreement.

Processed data may include:

Our website and application may load resources from external third-party services to ensure proper functionality and presentation. These may include:

When such resources are loaded, your browser may transmit technical data (such as your IP address, browser type, and referring page) to the respective external servers. This occurs automatically as part of the HTTP request and is outside our direct control.
We aim to minimize the use of external resources and, where feasible, host them locally. However, certain dependencies may still require external loading for technical or licensing reasons.
No personal data beyond standard HTTP request data is shared with these providers through the loading of external resources.
