Privacy policy
DataMockSeed is a tool that generates fictitious data in your own browser. This page explains what is processed and what is not.
This translation is provided for convenience. The Spanish version prevails in case of discrepancy.
Table of contents
01Data controller
The data controller for this website is a natural person domiciled in Spain. DataMockSeed is a personal project with no corporate structure. If you have any questions about this policy, you can write to cbsumastre@gmail.com.
02What data we process
DataMockSeed has no accounts, no contact forms, and no fields in which to enter your own personal data. On the website, all generators run in your browser: generating DNIs (Spanish national ID numbers), IBANs, phone numbers, or identities sends nothing to any server.
The validator works the same way: the values you paste to verify their check digit are processed locally and never leave your device.
The public API (/api/v1/…), intended for tests and CI/CD, does process the parameters you send to it (data type, quantity, seed, schema) on the server in order to generate the response: that is its purpose, as there is no way to expose an endpoint without receiving the request. It does not store those parameters or the generated responses. To limit abuse (requests per minute), it keeps an in-memory counter linked to your IP address; this counter is ephemeral, exists only for the lifetime of the server process, and is never persisted anywhere.
All other processing is carried out automatically by our hosting provider when serving the website and handling API requests, as described in the Processors and transfers section.
03Synthetic data, not real data
Everything DataMockSeed generates is fictitious: it is computed by a pseudorandom number generator from a seed and does not come from databases of real people. Any resemblance to a real person, account, or entity is purely coincidental. Generated email addresses always use reserved example domains (@example.com and similar).
| Aspect | Real data | DataMockSeed synthetic data |
|---|---|---|
| Link to a natural person | Direct | None |
| Risk if leaked | High | Nonexistent |
| Check digit | Valid | Valid, but not assigned to anyone |
| Use in testing | Discouraged / prohibited | Designed for it |
05Processors and transfers
Since there are no accounts or forms, the only third party involved is the website’s hosting provider. Like any server, it logs technical data about each request (IP address, user agent, date) in order to operate and protect the service.
| Provider | Service | Location | Safeguards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vercel Inc. | Website hosting and delivery | Global infrastructure (U.S. and EU) | Data Privacy Framework / standard contractual clauses |
| Vercel Inc. | Aggregate analytics and performance metrics | Global infrastructure (U.S. and EU) | Data Privacy Framework / standard contractual clauses |
Vercel acts as a data processor with respect to that technical data. If the server handling the request is located outside the EU, the transfer is covered by the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
06Data retention
The hosting provider’s technical logs are kept for as long as necessary to operate and protect the service, in accordance with Vercel Inc.’s log retention policy. DataMockSeed does not combine those logs with any other data to identify users.
07GDPR rights
You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing, and data portability by writing to cbsumastre@gmail.com. Since DataMockSeed does not process its users’ personal data beyond the hosting provider’s technical logs, in practice this is usually limited to telling you what is logged and why.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, AEPD), www.aepd.es/en, if you believe that your rights have not been properly addressed.
