A free single-page scan uses axe-core to flag automatically detectable WCAG A and AA issues and emails a report. The scanner does not cover every WCAG requirement, and the widget does not repair the underlying code or guarantee compliance. It complements accessible development and manual testing.

Operations
Who runs the parts of the service we could observe from outside, checked 5 October 2026. A provider's control can differ from where its servers stand.
| Part | Provider | Provider control | What we saw |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public website | Vercel | Not European | The public website returned Server: Vercel and X-Vercel-Id headers on 5 October 2026. Its A record was 216.198.79.1. This establishes website delivery, not the app, database, widget origin or their storage regions. [1] [2] [3] |
| Incoming email | ALL-INKL | European | MX 10 w00b52f2.kasserver.com; incoming business email only. The MX route does not establish mailbox or customer-data residency. [1] |
| Outgoing email | ALL-INKL | European | The SPF policy includes spf.kasserver.com, authorizing ALL-INKL to send domain email. This does not establish the route of every transactional message. [1] |
| Authoritative DNS | ALL-INKL | European | Authoritative NS records point to ns5.kasserver.com and ns6.kasserver.com. This is a DNS availability dependency, separate from application hosting. [1] |
| Core hosting | Supabase | Not European | The privacy policy names Supabase for authentication, database and backend infrastructure. The subprocessor list leaves the project region, contracting details and transfer mechanism unfinished. Supabase names Supabase Pte. Ltd as its contracting entity; European customer-data residency is not established. [1] [2] [3] |
| Core hosting | Undisclosed app, API and widget hosting | Unknown | The subprocessor schedule says the app, API and widget delivery providers and data-centre regions still need to be finalized. The public website route alone does not resolve this. [1] |
| Payments (optional) | Stripe (planned) | Not European | The policies describe Stripe as planned for checkout, invoices and payment status when paid billing is activated. It is a conditional billing path, not verified current production processing or part of the visitor widget settings. [1] [2] |
Preferences stay locally in the browser, but visitor measurement uses a hash of IP address, user agent and domain. The no-raw-IP claim concerns that metric; website server logs may retain IPs for 14 days. The site uses Vercel and names Supabase for the backend. Hosting regions and parts of the published DPA/subprocessor details remain unfinished; EU-only processing is not established.
