Braaands™ is operated by Braaands™ Roman Hajek, Dreihausgasse 9, 1150 Vienna, Austria. This policy explains what personal data we process on braaands.co and why, in line with the GDPR.
Email address (for magic-link sign-in and account identification), profile details you choose to add (name, bio, country, links, avatar), the brand identities and images you submit, the votes you cast, and — if you contact a designer or submit a consent-gated inquiry — the message, contact details, and IP address you provide, which we keep briefly to prevent abuse. If you book a sponsor slot, we collect the company name, website, email, description, and image you provide, even if you don't have an account. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email and, if given, your name.
To operate your account and the voting/award system, to display public designer profiles and submissions, to process paid plans, and to forward inquiries to designers who have opted in to receive them. Legal basis: performance of a contract (providing the service you signed up for) and, for inquiries, your explicit consent.
Supabase (database and authentication hosting), Vercel (application hosting), and Resend (transactional email delivery) process data on our behalf under their own data processing agreements. Paid plans and one-time purchases are billed through external payment providers — Braaands™ has no access to your payment or card details. Brand of the Day submissions (the image, title, and designer name credited) may be published to our social media accounts through a third-party publishing tool. If you submit a designer inquiry, your name, email, and message are forwarded directly to that designer. We do not sell personal data.
Account and submission data is kept for as long as your account exists. Inquiry messages are kept to allow both parties to refer back to them, unless you ask us to remove yours.
You can access and edit most of your data directly from your dashboard, and permanently delete your account, submissions, votes, and awards at any time from there. Beyond that, you have the right under the GDPR to request access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, and data portability — contact us below. You may also lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde).
