1. Data controller
The legal umbrella and data controller for the UnionAI environment is Grass Roots Lobbing Sp. z o.o.
The controller's registered address and current entity details (KRS, NIP, registered office) are published exclusively on the operator's official website: grassrootslobbing.pl. Given the nature of the environment we do not replicate registration details here — the operator's website remains the authoritative source.
For matters relating to personal data protection please contact:
- contact form / details on the operator's website: grassrootslobbing.pl/kontakt,
- e-mail: kontakt@grassrootslobbing.pl (please use subject: GDPR / data protection).
We do not publish private or additional contact addresses beyond those indicated above — full, current contact details are provided on the operator's website.
2. Data categories and legal bases
The table below summarises — broken down by category — the purpose, legal basis for processing (in accordance with Art. 6 GDPR) and retention period. The scope is deliberately narrow.
| Category | Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR) | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technical data / logs (IP address, user-agent, timestamp, request path) | Security, abuse detection, diagnostics and debugging | Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interests of the controller (security and diagnostics) | 30–90 days, then deleted or anonymised |
| Provider data (organisation name, contact details, API key hash) | Registration, onboarding and maintaining a provider account in the federation | Art. 6(1)(a) — consent (voluntary registration) or Art. 6(1)(b) — performance of a contract / participant onboarding | Until consent is withdrawn or participation ends / account closed; then deleted |
| Agent metadata (DID, trust level, activity statistics) | Network operation, routing, agent ranking and audits | Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interests (federation operation) | For the duration of the agent's activity in the production network |
| Operator data (contact persons on the operator / admin side) | Operational contact, handling requests and environment administration | Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interests (administration and contact) | For the duration of the production environment, then deleted |
| Sensitive / special-category data and PII in public evidence | Not processed intentionally | None — we do not collect | Not applicable |
The API key hash is a one-way digest — we do not store keys in plain text and the original key cannot be reconstructed from the hash.
3. Recipients and data processors
To operate the environment we use external infrastructure providers who act as recipients or data processors (to the technically necessary extent):
| Recipient / entity | Role | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Fly.io | Hosting / application infrastructure provider | Running services, technical logs |
| GitHub | Code and artefact repository | Source code, configuration, technical metadata |
| Postgres / Redis (data infrastructure) | Persistent storage and cache | Agent metadata, provider data, operational state |
| Model providers (optional) | Data processor for model queries | Content of queries passed to the model — to the extent necessary |
We do not sell data and do not share it with third parties for advertising purposes. The list of providers may change as the federation evolves.
4. Data transfers outside the EEA
Some providers (e.g. Fly.io, GitHub, model providers) may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In such cases the transfer may take place on the basis of standard contractual clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or other legally permitted safeguard mechanisms.
The data passed to providers is limited to a technical minimum, and the public evidence register contains no personal data, which further reduces the risk associated with any potential transfer.
5. Data minimisation
We collect only the data necessary for the operation and security of the federation. We do not build marketing profiles, sell data or share it with third parties for advertising purposes.
- The public evidence register contains only hashes and technical metadata — never personal data.
- Agent identifiers (DIDs) are pseudonymous and are not intended to identify natural persons.
- Provider contact details are not published in open registers.
6. Retention and deletion
We apply limited retention periods matched to category and purpose:
- Technical logs — 30–90 days, then deleted or anonymised.
- Provider data — until consent is withdrawn or participation ends (account closed).
- Agent metadata — retained for the duration of the agent's activity in the network and for the duration of the production environment.
- Operator data — for the duration of the production environment.
- Test data — identities such as did:test and demo may be reset and deleted at any time without prior notice.
7. Data subject rights (GDPR) and how to exercise them
To the extent that we process personal data, you have rights under the GDPR:
- Access — information about what data we process.
- Rectification — correction of inaccurate data.
- Erasure — "right to be forgotten", subject to exceptions (e.g. security obligations).
- Objection — against processing based on legitimate interests.
- Restriction of processing — to the extent provided by law.
- Data portability — to the extent provided by law.
How to submit a request: send your request to kontakt@grassrootslobbing.pl (subject: GDPR / data protection) or via grassrootslobbing.pl/kontakt. We will respond without undue delay, within 30 days of receiving the request — to the extent that its fulfilment does not breach security obligations (e.g. log retention necessary for abuse detection).
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in Poland with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO / Prezes UODO).
8. Logs and security
We ensure that processing is secure and free of unnecessary data:
- Logs do not contain secrets — API keys, tokens and passwords are not stored in plain text.
- Data transmission is encrypted at the transport layer (TLS/HTTPS).
- Tokens and keys are not displayed in the interface and do not appear in the public evidence.
- Access to the relay layer and write operations depends on the trust tier.
9. Cookies
The environment uses minimal cookies only where technically necessary (e.g. session). We do not use tracking, advertising or third-party analytics cookies for user profiling. Public information pages can be browsed without logging in.
