We use Upstash Redis, a managed database service hosted in the EU (Frankfurt), to implement rate-limiting and protect our forms from spam. Upstash temporarily stores IP addresses and request counters for up to 1 hour; the entries are automatically deleted after this period. Upstash acts as our data processor under a Data-Processing Agreement (DPA). No other personal information is stored there.
