  • Language preference (Norwegian/English) — stored in localStorage and as a functional cookie. The cookie is sent with requests so the server can deliver the correct language version.

  • Email thread review state — cached locally; cleared after completion.

Supabase processes data exclusively in EU regions for this service. Anthropic, Vercel, and Polar.sh may process data outside the EU/EEA under Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) in accordance with GDPR Art. 46(2)(c).
