1. Who is responsible for your data

The data controller is individual entrepreneur Illia Tymoshenko, taxpayer number 3366204955, 3 Hoholia St, Dnipro, Ukraine. For any question about your data, write to [email protected].

2. What data we collect

• account: your email address (stored encrypted), your password as a one-way hash, or your Google account identifier if you sign in with Google;
• matching questionnaire: country and city of residence (the city is stored encrypted), age range, languages, devices, participation formats, employment, the professional and consumer traits you entered, which payout methods you have (only "yes" or "no", no account details), notification channels;
• subscription and payment: trial and subscription dates, price, dates and amounts of payments, the subscription number at Stripe or WayForPay, the card type and the last four digits of the card number. We never receive or store the card number or other card data: only the payment service stores them;
• use of the service: which studies you opened and followed to the platform, visit times, the country determined from your network address, and login attempts (as a one-way hash, to protect against password guessing);
• at sign-up and at every sign-in: your network address (stored encrypted), device type and browser, to protect your account; at sign-up also the page you came to the site from and the link tags (for example utm_source), so we understand which channels bring people in;
• cookies: see section 7.

3. What we do not collect

We do not ask for or accept passport data, copies of documents, bank account details, medical data, your exact address, or political or religious views. Your answers to screeners on platform sites never reach us.

4. Why we use data and on what basis

• to provide the service under our agreement: your account, free trial, subscription, matching studies to your questionnaire, and emails about payments and cancellation;
• to protect the service (legitimate interest): limiting login attempts and detecting abuse, such as obtaining the free trial again;
• for statistics (your consent): how many people visit and from which countries, so we know what to improve. Statistics are switched on only after you click "Accept" in the cookie banner, and you can withdraw consent at any time;
• to count visits without your consent (our legitimate interest): only that pages are open, the country and the part of the site, with no cookies, no network address and no link to your account. The temporary visit key changes every day;
• to meet legal obligations: keeping payment records as required by Ukrainian tax law.

5. Who we share data with

We do not sell data and do not show third-party advertising. We do not share your data with research platforms: when you follow a study, you sign up and apply on the platform’s site yourself. Data goes only to the following services, and only as much as they need:

• Stripe and WayForPay, at your choice: accepting payments and renewing the subscription automatically; card details are kept by the chosen service, we neither receive nor store them;
• SendPulse: sending emails (email confirmation, receipts, subscription notices, study digests) and keeping the list of addresses these emails go to;
• Google: signing in with a Google account if you choose it; with your cookie consent, web analytics through Google Analytics and measuring our advertising through Google Ads;
• Trustpilot: an invitation to review LazyBounty, sent once and only to people who followed studies from the catalogue; Trustpilot receives only your email address and a copy of that one email;
• Cloudflare: protecting and delivering the site;
• Scalaxy B.V.: hosting; the server with the database is located in Frankfurt, Germany.

6. How long we keep data

Account and questionnaire data: for as long as the account exists. Payment records: as long as Ukrainian tax law requires (1,095 days). Login and visit logs: no longer than needed for security and statistics.

When an account is deleted, we delete your personal data except payment records we are legally required to keep.

7. Cookies

We use essential cookies that sign-in and matching cannot work without, as well as statistics and advertising cookies: our own visit counter, Google Analytics and Google Ads. Statistics and advertising cookies are set only with your consent; you can change your choice with the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page. The full list with lifetimes is at lazybounty.com/en/cookies.
