Privacy policy

auditchecklists.org processes the minimum personal data needed to deliver the audit checklist you buy and to meet Danish bookkeeping law. This document explains exactly what we collect, why, on what legal basis, how long we keep it, and how you exercise your rights under GDPR.

Last updated: 22 May 2026. We post material changes here; the page preserves the date of last update so you can verify currency.

3. What we do NOT collect

4. Sub-processors

We use a small set of well-known sub-processors. Each carries its own Data Processing Agreement with Contenza K/S.

No personal data is shared beyond these processors. We never sell or rent personal data.

5. International transfers

The application and database run in the EU (Germany). Two processors (Stripe and Resend) involve transfers to the United States; both rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework adequacy decision (10 July 2023) as the lawful basis for the transfer. Each processor publishes its own Standard Contractual Clauses fallback in case the DPF lapses.

6. Your rights under GDPR

Use the privacy contact form to exercise any of the following. We respond within 30 days at the latest.

7. Complaints

If you believe we have processed your personal data unlawfully and you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to complain to the Danish data protection authority:

Datatilsynet · Carl Jacobsens Vej 35, 2500 Valby, Denmark · datatilsynet.dk · +45 33 19 32 00.

You may also complain to the supervisory authority in your country of habitual residence.

8. Changes to this policy

If we materially change how we process personal data, we update this page and rev the "Last updated" date at the top. We do not silently change the policy.
