SteelTrace platform
The SteelTrace platform processes user identity data like name and email to uphold a user account. The legal base is the performance of a contract with our customers, the employers of our users. As name and function are important parameters in the trust chain of the platform, they are not deleted. Your email can be deleted after leaving the platform as a user.
We must mention that SteelTrace also processes IP addresses for error monitoring with Sentry. Personal data are kept to a minimum, but the processed ones are necessary for the proper functioning of the SteelTrace platform. Error monitoring data are kept for 90 days before being deleted.
