We recommend configuring Supabase in an EU region where possible.

- Content reports: retained as long as needed to handle the report and comply with law.

If you are in the EEA/UK, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object (where applicable), and data portability. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.
Use Privacy settings (when signed in) to export or delete your account, or email mzy.software.help@gmail.com. We respond within one month as required by GDPR.
