Privacy notice
Effective: 1 October 2026 · The German version is the legally controlling version.
1. Controller
EPRORA Compliance UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Gildehauser Weg 114, 48529 Nordhorn, Deutschland. Email: compliance@eprora.com. Phone: +49 5921 819 480.
2. Scope and data categories
This privacy notice covers the public website, the 60-second check, checkout and account processes and the EPRORA Customer Office. Depending on use, we process business and contact data, account and authentication data, contract and billing data, EPR/LUCID information, product and packaging data, authorised marketplace connection data, documents, support communications and technical security/audit data.
3. Purposes and legal bases
Processing is carried out for pre-contractual steps and contract performance under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, compliance with legal obligations under Art. 6(1)(c), legitimate interests in secure, reliable and auditable platform operation under Art. 6(1)(f) and, where required, consent under Art. 6(1)(a).
4. Website, server logs and security
When the website is accessed, IP address, time, requested resource, referrer, browser/device information and technical events may be processed for delivery, error analysis, abuse prevention, availability and IT security. Security-relevant logs are retained only as long as necessary for protection, analysis and evidence.
5. Account, authentication and Customer Office
We process email address, organisation assignment, roles, login/session data, selected language, settings, security events and audit information to authenticate users, control permissions, provide the workspace and document changes.
6. 60-second check and anonymous data preview
Where the preview is performed locally in the browser, selected files are not permanently uploaded to EPRORA for the preview. Information entered in the productive check is processed to determine potential service requirements and show an appropriate offer or onboarding path.
7. EPR, LUCID, products and packaging
Company, product, packaging, sales and registration data is processed to determine obligations, prepare mandate and registration workflows, produce packaging ledgers and reports, manage deadlines and archive evidence. If a customer appoints EPRORA as an authorised representative, the separate mandate defines the scope.
8. Marketplace and commerce integrations
Amazon, Temu, Shopify, eBay, AliExpress, WooCommerce and other integrations are activated only after customer authorisation. OAuth tokens and technical credentials are protected and used only for the scopes needed by the selected integration. EPRORA is designed to minimise personal buyer data used for packaging compliance.
9. Payments, signatures and communications
Payment status may be processed through Stripe; electronic signature workflows may use the configured signature provider; transactional emails and regulatory notifications are delivered through the configured communication provider. The applicable provider agreements are maintained in the internal vendor register.
10. Recipients and processors
Depending on enabled functions, recipients may include hosting and infrastructure providers, Cloudflare, payment and signature providers, communication providers, configured translation/AI service providers, connected marketplaces, authorities/registers and local EPR service partners. Access is limited to what is required for the respective purpose.
11. International transfers
Where a provider processes data outside the EEA, EPRORA uses an applicable transfer mechanism such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses and documents supplementary safeguards where required.
12. Cookies, language and local storage
Technically necessary cookies or comparable storage may be used for authentication, session management, security, selected language, checkout and requested functions. Optional analytics or marketing technologies are activated only when configured and where any required consent has been obtained.
13. Retention
Data is retained for the business relationship and thereafter according to statutory commercial, tax, EPR, evidence and limitation periods. Data no longer required is deleted or anonymised unless retention obligations apply.
14. Data subject rights and complaints
Where statutory conditions are met, data subjects may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction and portability, object to processing and withdraw consent with future effect. Complaints may be lodged with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
15. Automated recommendations and EPRORA Assistant
EPRORA may automatically classify data, identify potential obligations and recommend actions. These workflow recommendations do not by themselves constitute solely automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
Questions entered into the EPRORA Assistant are processed to provide product and compliance-navigation support. Known EPRORA topics are answered from controlled platform logic. If a server-side AI fallback is configured and a question cannot be answered unambiguously by that logic, the question, a limited summary of the current page/account status and a small number of recent conversation turns may be sent to the configured AI service provider. Passwords, API keys, private keys and recovery codes must not be entered into the Assistant.
16. Security and changes
EPRORA uses role-based access, TLS, protected secrets, audit logging, backups and technical and organisational safeguards. This notice is updated when providers, purposes or processing operations materially change.
