Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 30, 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.

Your projects

When you save a project, we store it in your account with Google Firebase: the drawing itself (floor plan, single-line diagram and panel schedule) together with the details you enter, such as the name and address of the site, the client name, your installer details and EAN codes, plus small preview images of your plans. That is what lets you open your projects on every device you sign in on. This content may contain personal data about your clients. For that data you are the controller and Asenko acts as processor, under the terms set out in our terms of use.

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, storing and syncing your projects, and transactional emails are necessary to perform our agreement 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)).

04 Third-Party Processors

We share your personal data with the following service providers:

  • Paddle (UK/EU) - payment processing and merchant of record
  • Resend (US) - transactional emails
  • Google Cloud / Firebase (EU) - website hosting, accounts and storage of your projects

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.

06 Data Retention

  • Projects are kept for as long as they are in your library. If you delete a project, the project and every stored version of it are removed. If you delete your account, all of your projects go with it.
  • Webhook event logs are retained for 24 months, then automatically deleted.
  • Feedback submissions are retained for 12 months, then automatically deleted.
  • Usage data is retained for 12 months, then automatically deleted.
  • Waitlist data is retained until you request its removal or we delete it after the beta period ends.
  • Server logs are retained for 30 days (standard Firebase Hosting retention).
  • Account data is retained for as long as your account exists and deleted when you request deletion of your account.
  • Payment data retention is governed by Paddle's own privacy policy and legal obligations.

07 Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Rectify inaccurate data
  • Request erasure of your data
  • Restrict processing of your data
  • Receive your data in a portable format
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interest

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@volter.be. We will respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit): gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be.

08 Security

All data is transmitted over HTTPS and stored encrypted with Google. Your projects are only reachable once you have signed in with your account. Webhook signatures are cryptographically verified.

09 Automated Decision-Making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
