Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 24, 2026

01 Data Controller

Volter is a product of Asenko BV, located at Nieuwstraat 9, 3472 Kortenaken, Belgium. For privacy-related questions, contact us at info@volter.be.

02 What Data We Collect

We only collect personal data that is necessary to provide our service. We do not use third-party analytics services, tracking pixels, or advertising cookies.

Payment & Billing

When you subscribe, Paddle (our payment processor and merchant of record) collects your name, email address, billing address, and payment details. Paddle processes this data as an independent data controller under their own privacy policy.

Account and Access

When you create a Volter account, we store your email address and subscription details with Google Firebase (Authentication and Firestore) to manage your account and your access to the Software. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email address from Google.

Transactional Emails

We use Resend to send you transactional emails such as account invitations, subscription confirmations, and payment notifications. Your email address is shared with Resend for this purpose.

In-App Feedback

When you submit feedback from within the Volter desktop app, we collect your feedback message, feedback type, and optional email address. A screenshot may be included if you choose to attach one. We also collect app metadata such as your app version, platform, view mode, subscription status, and language setting. This data is stored in Google Cloud Firestore and used to improve the Software.

Usage Data

The Volter desktop app sends a short usage signal when you start the app and once per day while it is running. This signal contains a random installation identifier, your subscription type (if you are logged in), the app version, your operating system, and a timestamp. We use this data to understand how Volter is used and to improve the Software. It is stored in Google Cloud Firestore, is not shared with third parties, and is automatically deleted after 12 months.

Waitlist Signup

When you sign up for the beta waiting list, we collect your email address and role. This data is stored in Google Cloud Firestore.

Webhook Event Logs

We log subscription lifecycle events (e.g. subscription created, canceled, payment failed) in Google Cloud Firestore for customer support purposes. These logs contain your email address, subscription identifiers, and event details.

Server Logs

Our website is hosted on Google Cloud (Firebase Hosting). Standard server logs including your IP address and user agent are collected automatically.

Cookie

We use a single functional cookie (__session) to remember your language preference. This cookie does not track you and no consent is required.

03 Legal Basis

Payment processing, account management, and transactional emails are necessary for the performance of our contract with you (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).

Server logs and webhook event logs are processed based on our legitimate interest in operating our service and providing customer support (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

Waitlist signup is processed based on your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).

  • Google Cloud / Firebase (EU, europe-west1) — website hosting, accounts, and data storage

05 International Data Transfers

Our processor Resend is located in the United States. This transfer is protected by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). Google Cloud stores your data in the EU (europe-west1 region).
