We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures (Art. 32 GDPR) to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. Where we engage external processors, they are contractually bound pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
2. Hosting and CDN
db.fyi is hosted and delivered by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (Cloudflare Pages, Workers and D1). When you access the website, Cloudflare processes personal data such as your IP address, date and time of access, requested pages, browser type, operating system and referrer URL to deliver the site and protect it against attacks. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is a fast, secure website. We have a data processing agreement with Cloudflare (Art. 28 GDPR). Cloudflare is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, so transfers to the USA rest on the EU Commission's adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR), with Standard Contractual Clauses as a fallback.
3. Server Log Files
When you visit db.fyi, the following data may be collected automatically: IP address, date and time of access, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL. Purpose: security, system stability, abuse prevention. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Log files are retained for a limited period and then deleted.
4. Contact
If you contact us (e.g. via a form or email), we process the data you provide to handle your inquiry. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR. Data is stored only as long as necessary to process the request and meet any legal retention obligations.
5. Cookies and Local Storage
db.fyi sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking. Your browser's local storage keeps only your theme, compare list, favorites and recently viewed tools; this data never leaves your device. Storing it is strictly necessary for features you use, so it needs no consent (§ 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG). Details: Cookie Policy. If we ever add anything that needs consent, we will ask first (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25 (1) TDDDG).
6. Data Retention
