siteways.ai is based in Germany. We apply the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to all visitors and customers, wherever they live.
Visiting this website
When you open a page, our server processes technically necessary data: IP address, date and time, the page requested, browser and operating system. We use this to run the site securely and to fend off attacks. The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We delete these logs after 14 days at the latest.
We use no cookies and no analytics or advertising services. Fonts and scripts are served from our own server, so no data is sent to third parties such as Google when you open a page. Because we do not track visitors, browser “Do Not Track” signals have nothing to switch off here.
On pages with a checklist, your browser remembers the items you tick off. This information stays on your device, we never receive it, and “Reset” deletes it again.
Free checking tools: When you enter an address into the free website audit or the llms.txt generator, our server fetches the public pages and files of that website. We do not store the address or the result. To limit abuse, we keep your IP address in memory for at most ten minutes. The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Hosting: The website and the AI Quick Check run on a server of STRATO AG, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany. We have a data processing agreement with STRATO under Art. 28 GDPR.
Ordering the AI Quick Check
For an order we process:
- the address of the website to be checked,
- your email address, to send you the report,
- the payment information handled by the payment provider.
The legal basis is the performance of the contract under Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
Payment via Mollie
Payments are handled by Mollie B.V., Keizersgracht 126, 1015 CW Amsterdam, the Netherlands. You enter your payment details directly with Mollie; they never reach our server. Mollie only sends us a confirmation of payment. Mollie processes the data in the EU and is itself responsible for payment processing. Details: mollie.com/en/privacy.
Analysis by an AI
For the report, our server reads the publicly accessible pages of the website you name and has them evaluated by an AI model from Anthropic, PBC, 548 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA. Only the website address and the publicly visible content of the site are sent to Anthropic. Your email address and payment details are not sent to Anthropic.
Anthropic processes the data in the USA. The transfer is based on a data processing agreement with EU Standard Contractual Clauses under Art. 46 (2) (c) GDPR. According to Anthropic, data from its API is not used to train its models.
Sending the report
We send the report by email via the mail servers of STRATO AG in Germany. We keep a copy of every report email so we can answer questions.
Request for a review
After delivering the report, we send one email to your address asking you to review the AI Quick Check on Google. The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. You can object at any time via the link in the email or by writing to info@siteways.ai, at no cost other than the transmission costs at basic rates.
Retention
We store reports and order data for 12 months so we can answer questions, and delete them afterwards. Invoices and accounting records are kept as long as German commercial and tax law requires, usually 8 to 10 years.
Contact by email
If you write to us, we process your details to answer your request. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where a contract is concerned, otherwise (f).
No sale of personal information
We do not sell or share personal information for advertising, and we have not done so in the past 12 months. Our services are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct and delete your data, to restrict processing, to data portability, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. A short email to info@siteways.ai is enough. We answer within 30 days.
You can also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, for example the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Alt-Moabit 59–61, 10555 Berlin, Germany.
Changes
If we change this policy, we post the new version on this page. Last updated: November 3, 2026.
