Privacy Policy

1. Who controls your data

The Lorenzinoverse and CB services are operated by a private individual based in Dublin, Ireland. That individual is the data controller for personal data processed through them. This is a personal project and not a registered company.

Contact: lorenzinoverse@gmail.com

We don’t publish a street address, because this is a personal project run from a home and not a business premises. If you’re exercising a data protection right, making a legal claim, or contacting us in an official capacity, email the address above and we’ll provide the identifying and contact details required for that purpose.

The project is not large enough to require a Data Protection Officer, so the email above reaches the person responsible directly.

2. What this covers

lorenzinoverse.com, CB Accounts, CB Network, Diversity Themes, Freing, and the CB Ecosystem apps.

3. What we collect

If you never create an account, we collect almost nothing beyond what any web server sees: your IP address, browser type, the pages you request and when you requested them, held in standard server logs by our hosting providers.

If you create a CB account:

Freing collects nothing. It runs entirely in your browser using local storage. Your entries, people, groups and boards never reach our servers. We can’t see them, can’t recover them, and hold no copy.

Diversity Themes is browsable without an account. Preferences you set are stored locally in your browser unless you’re signed in with a CB account.

We don’t collect special category data — health, religion, political opinions and so on — and you shouldn’t put it in your profile.

We don’t take payments, so we never collect card or bank details. Any page asking you for payment details in the name of CB or the Lorenzinoverse is not us.

4. What’s public

Your CB Network profile is public. Your username, display name, avatar, rank and follower count are visible to anyone on the internet, including people without accounts, and avatar images are served from publicly accessible URLs. Search engines may index public profiles.

Your email address is never shown publicly.

5. Why we process it, and our legal basis

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we’ve considered whether it’s fair to you and limited what we collect accordingly. You can object — see section 9.

We don’t sell your data, and we don’t use it for advertising or profiling.

6. Who we share it with

We don’t sell or trade personal data. We use a small number of service providers who process data on our behalf:

We may also disclose data where legally required, or where necessary to protect our rights or someone’s safety.

7. International transfers

Some providers process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where that happens, transfers are protected by the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or by an adequacy decision, including the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified.

8. How long we keep it

Backups may hold copies briefly after deletion and are overwritten on a rolling basis.

9. Your rights

Under GDPR you have the right to:

To exercise any of these, email lorenzinoverse@gmail.com. We’ll respond within one month. There’s no charge unless a request is clearly excessive or repetitive.

You can also delete your account yourself from your settings, which removes your profile and associated data.

If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission:

If you live elsewhere in the EU you can complain to your own national supervisory authority instead.

10. Security

Passwords are hashed and never stored in readable form. Traffic is encrypted in transit with HTTPS. Access to the production database is restricted, and database-level access rules limit what any account can read.

No system is perfectly secure, and this is a project run by one person rather than a company with a security team. We’ll notify you and the Data Protection Commission without undue delay if a breach occurs that’s likely to affect your rights. We’re telling you the scale of the operation so you can judge for yourself what to store here.

11. Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and browser storage that are strictly necessary to run the services — keeping you signed in, remembering your theme and graphics settings, and holding your Freing workspace locally.

Strictly necessary cookies don’t require consent under the ePrivacy rules. As of the effective date above, we use no non-essential cookies, no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking.

You can clear cookies and site data in your browser at any time, but doing so will sign you out and, on Freing, permanently delete your workspace.

12. Children

The services aren’t intended for anyone under 16, and you must be 16 or over to create a CB account. If we learn we’ve collected data from someone under 16, we’ll delete it. If you believe a child has given us data, email lorenzinoverse@gmail.com

13. Changes

We may update this policy. Significant changes will be flagged on the site and the effective date above updated. Previous versions are available on request.
