    Name, email address, phone number, timestamp, as well as other information provided as part of a support request. Depending on the use case, temporary access to metadata (e.g., sender, recipient, timestamp) may also be granted with the explicit consent of the customer for diagnosing technical issues or resolving disruptions.

    Additionally, the data provided during customer account creation is processed. The specific data required for creating an account is specified in the input form on our website. This includes name, company name, email, and phone number.

    To ensure the security and availability of our services, we maintain logs of security-related events:
