Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 25, 2026
Introduction
At Sitecheck, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our website analysis service. Sitecheck is operated as an independent platform based in Denmark and acts as the data controller for personal data processed through this service.
Data Controller
The data controller responsible for your personal data is: Sitecheck, operated by Bjarne Fabricius (bjarkeef@gmail.com), based in Denmark. You may contact us at support@sitecheck.dk for any privacy-related questions or to exercise your rights.
Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR Art. 6)
We process your personal data under the following legal bases:
- Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b)): Processing your account data, scan results, and subscription information is necessary to deliver the service you signed up for.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): We process minimal technical data (e.g., server logs, error tracking) to operate, secure, and improve the platform. This is balanced against your privacy interests.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): Analytics and optional cookies are only activated after you give explicit consent via our cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): We retain billing records as required by Danish bookkeeping law.

Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL), secure authentication, and regular security audits. We use Supabase for secure data storage and authentication.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services that may process your data. Where applicable, we have Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) in place with each processor as required by GDPR Art. 28:
- Supabase: Authentication and database hosting (EU region, GDPR-compliant)
- PostHog: Analytics platform (EU instance, GDPR-compliant, data stored in the EU)
- Stripe: Payment processing and billing (processes payment card data; Stripe is certified PCI DSS Level 1)
- Vercel: Website hosting and edge delivery (US-based; data transfers covered by Standard Contractual Clauses)
- Hetzner Object Storage: Storage of scan artifacts such as screenshots (EU datacentres)
- Google PageSpeed Insights API: Website performance analysis (URLs submitted for analysis are sent to Google; see Google's Privacy Policy)
International data transfers: Some of the third-party services listed above (e.g., Vercel, Google) are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this is the case, transfers are carried out under appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) under GDPR Art. 46.
Automated Decision-Making
Sitecheck does not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals (GDPR Art. 22). Subscription tier upgrades and access control are rule-based processes, not AI-driven profiling decisions.
Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the 'Last Updated' date at the top of this policy and, where required by law, by seeking fresh consent or providing direct notice via email.
