Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-03-01

Euregas is built for compliance — and that starts with how we handle your data. EU-only infrastructure, no US sub-processors, PII scrubbing before AI processing.

1. Data Controller

Euregas ("we", "us", "our") is the data controller for the personal data processed through the Euregas platform (euregas.eu).

Contact: privacy@euregas.eu Country: Finland (FI)

2. Data We Collect

We collect and process the following categories of personal data:

Account Data — Name, email address, password (hashed), organization name, role within organization, MFA secrets (encrypted).

Organization Data — Company name, industry sector, size, regulatory selections (GDPR, AI Act, NIS2, CRA, EHDS), team member invitations.

Compliance Documents — Documents you upload for compliance analysis, including DPIAs, incident reports, risk assessments, and policy documents. These may contain personal data of third parties.

Usage Data — Pages visited, features used, timestamps. Collected via Plausible Analytics, which is cookie-free and does not track individual users. No IP addresses are stored.

AI Interaction Data — Prompts and compliance queries submitted to AI features. All personally identifiable information (PII) is scrubbed before processing (see Section 6).

Payment Data — Processed directly by Stripe. We store only subscription tier and status — never card numbers or bank details.

4. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used exclusively for:

  • Providing and maintaining the compliance platform
  • AI-powered regulatory analysis (with PII scrubbing — see Section 6)
  • Generating compliance reports, risk assessments, and gap analyses
  • Account authentication and authorization (including MFA)
  • Security monitoring and incident detection (audit logs with HMAC integrity)
  • Sending transactional emails (account verification, password reset, team invitations)
  • Subscription management and billing via Stripe

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Sub-Processors

We minimize sub-processor usage and keep data within the EU wherever possible:

Sub-ProcessorPurposeLocationData sent
Hetzner Online GmbHServer hosting, backup storageGermany (EU)All data (encrypted)
Stripe, Inc.Payment processingEU entity (Ireland)Payment data only
Mistral AIAI inference (summaries, classification)France (EU)Anonymized compliance prompts
AnthropicAI inference (legal analysis, consultation)United StatesAnonymized compliance prompts only

Anthropic (US): For complex legal analysis, we use Anthropic's Claude models. All data is fully anonymized before leaving our EU servers — organization names, member names, system names, and all personal identifiers are replaced with generic tokens. A Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) is maintained. Anthropic participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and is bound by Standard Contractual Clauses. Data is not stored or used for training.

No personal data leaves the EU. Only anonymized compliance prompts (with no identifying information) are processed by US-based Anthropic.

We maintain a sub-processor register and will notify you of any changes 30 days in advance.

6. AI Processing & PII Scrubbing

When you use AI features (compliance analysis, document review, gap assessment), the following safeguards apply:

Two-Layer Anonymization — Before any data reaches an AI model, two layers of protection are applied:

1. Organization-aware pseudonymization — Your organization's name is replaced with a generic sector label (e.g., "a healthcare organization"). System names, member names, and email addresses are replaced with anonymous tokens (SYSTEM_1, PERSON_1). The AI reasons about your compliance scenario without knowing who you are.

2. PII scrubbing — Microsoft Presidio (self-hosted on our EU servers) removes any remaining personally identifiable information: names, email addresses, phone numbers, Finnish personal identity code (henkilötunnus), IBAN numbers, and other identifiers.

After the AI responds, anonymous tokens are mapped back to the real names — this happens locally on our EU servers, never at the AI provider.

No Training on Your Data — Your documents and compliance data are never used to train AI models. Processing is strictly for generating your requested analysis.

EU-First Model Routing — Simpler tasks (summaries, translations, classifications) are routed to Mistral AI, an EU-based provider (France), eliminating international data transfers entirely. Complex legal analysis uses Anthropic (US) with full anonymization and Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) safeguards.

Encryption in Transit — All AI API calls use TLS 1.3 encryption.

Fail-Closed Protection — If the anonymization service is unavailable, AI requests are blocked rather than sent with unprotected data.

Opt-Out — You can use the platform without AI features. AI-powered analysis is always clearly labeled and optional.

7. International Data Transfers

All personal data is stored and processed within the European Union / European Economic Area (EU/EEA).

Our servers run on Hetzner dedicated hardware in Germany. Stripe processes payment data through their EU entity in Ireland. Mistral AI processes anonymized prompts in France.

Anthropic (US) transfers: For complex AI analysis, anonymized prompts (containing no personal data, no organization names, no identifying information) are sent to Anthropic in the United States. This transfer is governed by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). A Transfer Impact Assessment confirms the residual risk is acceptable given the multi-layer anonymization applied before any data leaves our EU infrastructure.

No raw personal data is ever transferred outside the EU/EEA.

8. Data Retention

We retain data only as long as necessary for its purpose:

Data CategoryRetention Period
Account dataDuration of contract + 12 months
Compliance documentsConfigurable per organization; deleted on request or account termination
Audit logs5 years (NIS2 Art. 21 requirement)
Security event logs2 years
Usage analytics24 months (aggregated, no PII)
Payment recordsAs required by Finnish Accounting Act (kirjanpitolaki, 6 years)

After termination, you have 30 days to export your data. After this period, all personal data is permanently deleted from active systems. Encrypted backups are purged within 90 days.

9. Your Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

Access (Art. 15) — Request a copy of all personal data we hold about you.

Rectification (Art. 16) — Correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

Erasure (Art. 17) — Request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten").

Data Portability (Art. 20) — Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format. We support JSON and CSV export.

Restriction (Art. 18) — Request restricted processing while a complaint is being resolved.

Objection (Art. 21) — Object to processing based on legitimate interest.

Withdraw Consent (Art. 7(3)) — Withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

Lodge a Complaint — You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuojavaltuutettu) at tietosuoja.fi, or your local supervisory authority.

To exercise your rights, email privacy@euregas.eu. We respond within 30 days.

10. Security Measures

We implement comprehensive technical and organizational measures to protect your data:

  • AES-256 envelope encryption for all uploaded documents
  • TLS 1.3 for all data in transit
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) with WebAuthn/FIDO2 support
  • HMAC-SHA256 signed audit logs (tamper-proof)
  • ClamAV virus scanning on all uploads
  • Docker container isolation with read-only filesystems
  • No ports exposed to the public internet except HTTPS

For full details, see our Security page.

11. Cookies & Analytics

We do not use tracking cookies.

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-first analytics tool that: • Does not use cookies • Does not track individual users • Does not collect or store IP addresses • Is fully GDPR compliant without consent banners

The only cookies we use are: • Session cookie — Required for authentication. Expires when you log out or after inactivity. • Locale preference — Stores your language selection. First-party, strictly necessary.

No consent banner is required because we do not use any non-essential cookies.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements.

For material changes, we will notify you by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Non-material changes (clarifications, formatting) may be made without notice.

The "Effective date" at the top of this page indicates the date of the most recent revision.
