Florian ForsterandGitHub 2763e93a61 docs: shorten page titles for SEO (#11750)
## What

Shorten the `title` frontmatter on 20 docs pages so that the rendered
`<title>` tag stays within the 70-character SEO limit.

The root layout appends ` | ZITADEL Docs` (15 chars) to every page
title, meaning the raw frontmatter `title` must be ≤ 55 characters. A
site scan flagged all 20 pages for the "Title too long" warning (titles
ranged from 71 to 92 characters in the final rendered tag).

## Why

Search engines may truncate or ignore `<title>` tags longer than 70
characters, hurting click-through rates and keyword relevance in search
results.

## How

Each title was rewritten to:
- Fit within 55 characters (leaving room for ` | ZITADEL Docs`)
- Front-load the primary search keyword (product name, protocol, or
feature)
- Include "ZITADEL" where users realistically search for `{feature}
ZITADEL`
- Avoid generic filler words ("Configure", "Set up", "Support for")

All 20 files already have a `sidebar_label` field that preserves the
original descriptive title for sidebar navigation — no navigation
changes result from this PR.

## Pages updated

| Page | Before (chars) | After (chars) |
|---|---|---|
| concepts/features/passkeys | 82 | 64 |
| guides/integrate/identity-providers/openldap | 72 | 58 |

| guides/integrate/identity-providers/migrate | 74 | 65 |
| guides/manage/console/projects-overview | 71 | 62 |

All final `<title>` values are between 54 and 66 characters (well under
the 70-char limit).

This annex of the [Framework Agreement](../terms-of-service) describes the services offered by us.
## Services offered
### ZITADEL Cloud
[ZITADEL Cloud](https://zitadel.com) is a fully managed cloud service of the [ZITADEL software](https://github.com/zitadel).
You will benefit from the same software as the open-source project, but we take care of the hosting, maintenance, backup, scaling, and operational security. The cloud service is managed and maintained by the team that also develops the software.
When creating a new instance, you are able to choose a [data location](#data-location).
We follow a single-provider strategy by minimizing the involved [sub-processors](../subprocessors) to increase security, compliance, and performance of our services. [Billing](https://help.zitadel.com/pricing-and-billing-of-zitadel-services) is based on effective usage of our services.
### Enterprise license / self-hosted
The ZITADEL Enterprise license allows you to use the [ZITADEL software](https://github.com/zitadel) on your own data center or private cloud.
You will benefit from the transparency of the open source and the hyper-scalability of the same software that is being used to operate [ZITADEL Cloud](#zitadel-cloud).
#### Benefits over using open source / community license
- [Enterprise supported features](https://help.zitadel.com/zitadel-support-states#enterprise) are only supported under an Enterprise license
- Individual [onboarding support](./support-services#onboarding-support) tailored to your needs and team
- Get access to our support with a [Service Level Agreement](./support-services#service-level-agreement) that is tailored to your needs
- Benefit from personal [technical account management](./support-services#technical-account-manager) provided by our engineers to help you with architecture, integration, migration, and operational improvements of your setup
#### Benefits over ZITADEL Cloud
You can reduce your supply-chain risks by removing us as sub-processor of personal information about your users.
Support staff will have no access to your infrastructure and will only provide technical support.
Operation and direct maintenance of ZITADEL will be done by you.
You can freely choose the infrastructure and location to host ZITADEL.
### Responsibilities
Your obligations while operating and using ZITADEL are detailed in our [terms of service](/legal/terms-of-service#your-obligations) given the provisions in our [acceptable use policy](/legal/policies/acceptable-use-policy).
When using ZITADEL Cloud, we may process data on behalf according to the [data processing agreement](/legal/data-processing-agreement).
In a self-hosted setup, you will be responsible for the cost, operations, and availability of your infrastructure.
For DDoS, bot, and threat detection and protection we rely on external services in ZITADEL Cloud.
In a self-hosted setup, it is your responsibility to secure the infrastructure to protect confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data.
ZITADEL Cloud comes with pre-configured SMTP service, SMS service, and a generated domain name.
The SMTP service and SMS service are limited in use.
You should configure your own service providers for production use cases.
In a self-hosted setup, you will be responsible for SMTP / SMS services, domains and certificates.

## Data location
Data location refers to a region, consisting of one or many countries or territories, where the customer's data is being hosted.
We can not guarantee that during transit the data will only remain within this region. We take measures, as outlined in our [privacy policy](../policies/privacy-policy), to protect your data in transit and in rest.
## Backup
Our backup strategy executes daily full backups and differential backups on much higher frequency.
In a disaster recovery scenario, our goal is to guarantee a recovery point objective (RPO) of 1h, and a higher but similar recovery time objective (RTO).
Under normal operations, RPO and RTO goals are below 1 minute.
If you have different requirements we provide you with a flexible approach to back up, restore, and transfer data (f.e. to a self-hosted setup) through our APIs.
Please consult the [migration guides](/guides/migrate/introduction) for more information.
