Security & GDPR · Lovable
Is my Lovable app GDPR compliant?
Lovable ships your app in an afternoon — but it ships the obligations too. Templates routinely include third-party fonts and analytics that send visitor data to US servers before anyone could consent, and no imprint or privacy policy unless you added one. If people in the EU use your app, you are the liable operator — wherever you're based (Art. 3(2) GDPR).
What we typically find on Lovable apps
- Tracking loads before anyone could consent § 25 TDDDG
- Google Fonts loaded directly from Google Art. 44 GDPR
- Database readable without a login Art. 32/33 GDPR
- Admin key exposed in frontend code Art. 32 GDPR
- No privacy policy found Art. 13 GDPR
Common questions
Does Lovable make my app GDPR compliant by default?
No builder can: compliance depends on what your app does with data. Lovable's Supabase defaults are decent on database security, but consent, legal pages and data transfers are on you.
What does the scan check on a Lovable app?
Backend access (is your Supabase readable without login?), exposed keys in the frontend bundle, third-party tracking and US transfers, legal pages, and transport security headers.
Will the scan touch my app or my data?
No. The free check is passive: it loads your app like a normal visitor (GET requests only) and observes what it sends out. No login attempts, no active testing, nothing stored.
