The Data Controller is:
Lipschitz & Daniele S.n.c.
Registered office: Milan, Italy
VAT: [to be added]
Email: info@lesstype.ai
Certified email (PEC): [to be added]

2. Data collected
2.1 Data you provide
When you sign up for LessType, subscribe to a plan, contact support or use the website contact form, we may process:
- Identification and contact data: first name, last name, email, optional phone number
- Professional data: company name, VAT / tax code, business role
- Billing data: registered office address, Italian SDI recipient code, certified email (PEC)
- Access credentials (passwords stored only as cryptographic hashes)

2.2 Documents uploaded for processing
The service allows you to upload PDF documents in order to extract structured data using artificial intelligence. Such documents may contain personal data of third parties (e.g. your customers, policyholders).
Uploaded PDF files are deleted from our servers immediately after processing and data extraction. We retain only the extracted structured data, according to the periods defined in §4.
Users uploading documents containing personal data of third parties act as autonomous Data Controllers vis-à-vis those individuals, and are responsible for the lawfulness of the processing and for fulfilling information obligations towards data subjects. LessType acts as Data Processor (Art. 28 GDPR) limited to the technical processing of the document.
2.3 Data collected automatically
While you browse the website and use the application we collect:
- IP address, browser and device type, operating system

These transfers are governed by the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission via Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914, in compliance with Art. 46 GDPR. For transfers to the United States, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Adequacy Decision 2023/1795) also applies, where available.
