Privacy policy

This policy explains which personal data is processed when you visit www.aitechverdict.com or write to us – for what purpose, on what legal basis, and what rights you have. It follows the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). A German version is available at Datenschutzerklärung.

The short version

• This website uses no cookies and no tracking: no analytics or advertising scripts, no pixels, no social media plugins, no embedded videos or maps.
• Fonts, images and scripts come from our own server. Opening a page doesn’t connect you to Google or any other third party.
• Our host, Cloudflare, processes technical access data such as your IP address when you open a page.
• If you write to us by email, we use your details to answer you.
• If you click an affiliate link, you are forwarded to the seller, who processes data under its own privacy policy.

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing (Art. 4(7) GDPR) is:

Tobias Marks
MarksFinanceGroup (sole proprietorship), brand AI Tech Verdict
Sponheimer Str. 14
55595 Mandel
Germany
Email: [email protected]

We haven’t appointed a data protection officer because the law doesn’t require one for us. For any privacy question, simply write to the address above.

2. Visiting the website: hosting by Cloudflare

This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. The provider is Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (“Cloudflare”). When you open a page, your browser automatically sends technical data needed to deliver it. Cloudflare processes:

• the IP address of your device,
• the date and time of the request,
• the requested address and, if your browser sends it, the page you came from (referrer),
• information about your browser, operating system and language setting (user agent),
• technical details such as the status code and the amount of data transferred.

Purpose: delivering the website, defending against attacks and misuse (such as overload attacks) and finding technical errors. Legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is a secure, stable and fast website. The connection is encrypted (HTTPS).

Cloudflare processes this data as our processor (Art. 28 GDPR). Cloudflare’s Data Processing Addendum is part of our contract with Cloudflare. We don’t analyze the access data of individual visitors and don’t combine it with other data. For statistics we use at most aggregated page-view numbers that Cloudflare derives from this data – nothing is stored on or read from your device for this.

Storage period: Cloudflare keeps this access data only as long as it is needed to deliver the website, defend against attacks and find errors, and deletes it afterwards. We don’t store any access data ourselves.

Transfers to the USA: Cloudflare runs a global network of data centers. Your request is usually answered by a data center near you, but data may also be transferred to the USA. Cloudflare, Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. For certified companies, the European Commission has found an adequate level of data protection (adequacy decision of July 10, 2023, Art. 45 GDPR). In addition, our agreement with Cloudflare includes the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46(2)© GDPR). More: Cloudflare’s privacy policy and the list of certified companies.

No cookies: We don’t use cookies or similar technologies – no local storage, no pixels, no recognizing your device by its characteristics. We haven’t switched on Cloudflare bot protection (which can set cookies) or Cloudflare Web Analytics (which would add a measuring script).

3. Address without “www” and email: Hostinger

Our domain, its name servers and our mailbox are provided by Hostinger International Ltd., 61 Lordou Vironos str., 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus (“Hostinger”). Hostinger acts as our processor (Art. 28 GDPR) under its data processing agreement.

• Redirect: If you type the address without “www” (aitechverdict.com), a Hostinger server forwards you to www.aitechverdict.com. In doing so, Hostinger processes the same technical access data as in section 2. Legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our interest is that the website works with both spellings. Hostinger keeps this access data only as long as it is needed for the redirect and the security of its servers, and deletes it afterwards.
• Email: Hostinger receives, sends and stores emails to and from [email protected] for us (see section 4).

Where Hostinger transfers data to countries outside the EU, it does so on the basis of the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46(2)© GDPR), which are part of Hostinger’s data processing agreement. More: Hostinger’s privacy policy.

4. Email

If you write to us by email, we process what you tell us: your email address, your message and – if you add it – your name. Please don’t send passwords, payment details or health information.

Purpose and legal basis: We use your details to handle and answer your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in answering requests); if your request concerns a contract with us, it is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Retention: We delete your message and our reply once your request has been dealt with. If a message is subject to a statutory retention obligation (for example under commercial or tax law), we keep it until that period ends and use it only for that purpose.

5. Fonts, images and scripts

The fonts Source Serif 4 and Inter, and all images and scripts, are stored on our own server at Cloudflare. Nothing is loaded from Google Fonts, third-party content delivery networks, YouTube or social networks.

6. Affiliate links and links to other websites

Affiliate links: Buttons such as “Check price at …” are affiliate links. They lead to an address on our site starting with /go/, which forwards you to the seller (section 2 applies to this forwarding). We don’t add identifiers about you to these links and we don’t learn who clicked. Only after you arrive on the seller’s site does the seller – or the affiliate network it uses – process data, for example cookies to attribute a purchase to us. This happens under the seller’s own privacy policy and, where required, with your consent there. If a purchase is attributed to us, we only receive information about the commission (such as the date and amount), not your name or contact details.

Other links: We link to sources, manufacturers and – once available – our social media profiles. These are plain links: only when you click one do you leave this website, and the provider then processes data under its own privacy policy. We don’t embed plugins, buttons or content from these providers.

7. Recipients and automated decisions

Personal data is only received by the service providers named above, within the scope of their contracts (Cloudflare, Hostinger). We don’t sell data and don’t pass it on for advertising. We only disclose data to authorities if we are legally required to.

We don’t make automated individual decisions and don’t create profiles (Art. 22 GDPR).

8. Your rights

You have the right to

• access the data we process about you (Art. 15 GDPR),
• rectification of incorrect data (Art. 16 GDPR),
• erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) and restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
• data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).

Your right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

Where we process data based on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), you can object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation.

None of the processing described here is based on consent. To exercise your rights, write to [email protected].

Complaints to a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR): You can lodge a complaint with any data protection supervisory authority, for example the one responsible for us:

Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Rheinland-Pfalz (State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Rhineland-Palatinate)
Hintere Bleiche 34, 55116 Mainz, Germany
Postal address: Postfach 30 40, 55020 Mainz, Germany
Phone: +49 6131 8920-0
Email: [email protected]
Website: www.datenschutz.rlp.de

9. “Do Not Track”

We don’t track visitors across websites and don’t use any tracking technologies. A “Do Not Track” signal from your browser therefore changes nothing – there is nothing for us to switch off.

10. Changes

This version is effective as of October 26, 2026. We update this policy when our website, our service providers or the law change. The version published here always applies.
