Privacy policy
What we collect when you visit steinvar.com or register for the Steinvar sandbox, why, how long we keep it, and the rights you have over it.

Who is responsible
Pinigas MB is the controller of the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us at hello@steinvar.com.
When an organisation uses the Steinvar platform for its own business, for example to onboard its customers, that organisation is the controller of its customers’ and staff’s data, and we process it only on its instructions under a data processing agreement. That organisation’s own privacy notice applies to that data.
Visiting the website
The website has no forms, accounts, advertising or tracking. It processes:
| Data | Why | Legal basis | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web-server access logs: IP address, time, page requested, referring page, browser type and response status | To deliver the pages, keep the service secure and diagnose faults | Legitimate interest (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) in running a secure website | About 10 days, then deleted |
| Page-view statistics: page, referring site, country, browser and device type | To learn which pages are read and improve the site | Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)); counted without cookies or any identifier, so you cannot be followed | Aggregate counts only; no IP address is stored |
Registering for the sandbox
| Data | Why | Legal basis | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| First and last name, work e-mail, company name, and your password stored only as a one-way Argon2id hash | To create and secure your account and workplace | Contract (Article 6(1)(b)): providing the sandbox you asked for | While the account is open; after that only what the law requires us to keep, then deleted |
| Sign-in records: time, IP address, device, second-factor use | To keep accounts secure and detect misuse | Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) in security | As long as needed for security, within the retention above |
| The audit trail of actions taken in your workplace | To show who did what, as financial and anti-money-laundering rules expect | Legal obligation where it applies (Article 6(1)(c)), otherwise legitimate interest | At least 5 years |
| E-mails we send you: sign-in codes and service messages | To sign you in and tell you about your account | Contract | Delivery log kept 400 days |
We do not use your sandbox data for marketing, and we do not sell it.
Who else processes it
| Provider | What for | Where |
|---|---|---|
| OVH SAS | Hosting of the website and the platform | Gravelines, France (EU) |
| Stripe | Card payments when a customer tops up a balance | EU, with transfers under Stripe’s safeguards |
| DigiCert | Time-stamping signed documents; receives a document fingerprint, not the document | United States, under standard contractual clauses |
Fonts, scripts and statistics are served from our own server; your browser does not contact a third party to display the website. We disclose data to authorities only where the law requires it.
How it is protected
Personal data in the platform is encrypted field by field under separate keys, connections are encrypted, staff and customers sign in with a second factor, access is limited to the workplace the data belongs to, and every action is written to a sealed audit trail. The Trust and security page describes these controls.
Your rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation you can ask us to:
- tell you whether we hold personal data about you, and give you a copy (access);
- correct data that is wrong (rectification);
- delete data we no longer need (erasure), unless the law requires us to keep it;
- stop or limit how we use it (restriction and objection);
- give you the data in a machine-readable form (portability).
We answer within one month. For website logs we may need the IP address and time concerned. You can also complain to the data protection authority of the EU country where you live or work.
Changes to this policy
If we start collecting anything new, this page will say so before it happens, and the date at the top will change.
