Data processors & sub-processors

We use the following services to operate France AI Radar:

Supabase (Database & Authentication)

Stores all user accounts, profiles, startup intelligence data, watchlists, and application data. Hosted in the EU. Supabase acts as a data processor.

Vercel (Application Hosting)

Hosts and serves the France AI Radar web application. Processes HTTP requests but does not store persistent user data.

Stripe (Payment Processing)

Handles all subscription payments, billing, invoices, and payment method storage. We never see or store your card details.

PostHog (Analytics — consent required)

Product analytics and session recording. Only activated after explicit user consent via the cookie banner. Hosted in the EU. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser storage.

Cookies & analytics

France AI Radar uses essential cookies for authentication (session management, login state). These are required for the service to function and cannot be disabled.

Analytics cookies (PostHog) are only set after you click “Accept” on the cookie consent banner. No tracking occurs before explicit consent. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site.

Data we don't sell

We do not sell, rent, or trade user data to third parties. Analytics data is used solely to improve France AI Radar.
