Aivie
Marketing automation from Switzerland, built on Mautic
SwitzerlandEFTAEU controlledHigh non-EU dependencyOperational dependency warning
Relies heavily on non-European providers
Current public evidence shows 11 non-European infrastructure or email dependencies across 5 providers: Amazon SES / AWS EMEA, Facebook / Meta, Google, OpenAI (optional AI), Postmark / ActiveCampaign. The reviewed operational path is therefore not entirely European.
Aivie is a marketing automation platform from Switzerland. It builds on the open source project Mautic and adds a form builder of its own, so campaigns, contact management and lead capture all live in one tool.
Aivie offers managed hosting in Switzerland, Germany and other selected regions, with an on-premise option. Its current disclosures name Google Cloud and Nine for application hosting, AWS for standard email delivery and mailomat for an optional Swiss setup. It suits small marketing teams that want managed Mautic from a Swiss-owned company.
Aivie is operated by Idea 2 Collective GmbH in Zurich (CHE-171.489.514). The current Zurich commercial register lists Adrian Schimpf as sole member with all 200 shares of CHF 100 and individual signing authority, following the September 2023 transfer. This establishes Swiss control. The June 2021 terms choose Swiss law and Zurich (Zurich 4) courts. A data-processing agreement is available on request; its text was not reviewed.
Pricing
Aivie Pro offers a 30-day trial. Ongoing pricing is calculated from the contact tier, server location and monthly or annual billing; the page advertises a 20% annual discount. Swiss infrastructure add-ons and services may require an individual offer.

Data and operations
Infrastructure and email path
Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.
Core service hosting
Google Cloud / Google Ireland Limited
Non-European provider- Observed
- Aivie processor notice dated 2 April 2026 names Google for application hosting in Zurich, Frankfurt or a customer-selected location. These are company region claims; Google provider control remains separate from storage location.
Why this matters
Reviewed evidence places Google Cloud / Google Ireland Limited in the core service path, so customer data may be processed under non-European control. Check the cited source for the documented region and scope.
Core service hosting
Nine Internet Solutions
Provider control not verified- Observed
- Aivie names Nine for application hosting in Zurich. The selected provider depends on the setup; ultimate provider control was not established in this review.
Public website
CYON cyon AG
Provider control not verified- Observed
- A 149.126.4.10, AS47302; NS ns1.cyon.ch and ns2.cyon.ch. Public website routing does not establish the managed application location or cyon ultimate control.
Incoming business email
Google Workspace
Non-European provider- Observed
- MX 1 aspmx.l.google.com · 5 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com · 5 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com · 10 alt3.aspmx.l.google.com · 10 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com
- Evidence
- Current daily MX lookup ↗
Why this matters
Published MX records route incoming business email through Google Workspace. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.
Authorised outbound email
Google Workspace
Non-European provider- Observed
- SPF _spf.google.com; public SPF authorization, not a measurement of actual sending flows.
- Evidence
- Live SPF record ↗
Why this matters
This domain authorises Google Workspace to send email. If active, recipient details and message content can be processed by this non-European provider. SPF does not reveal its configured storage region.
Authorised outbound email
Google Firebase
Non-European provider- Observed
- SPF _spf.firebasemail.com; public SPF authorization, not a measurement of actual sending flows.
- Evidence
- Live SPF record ↗
Why this matters
This domain authorises Google Firebase to send email. If active, recipient details and message content can be processed by this non-European provider. SPF does not reveal its configured storage region.
Authorised outbound email
bexio
European provider- Observed
- SPF _spf.bexio.com; public SPF authorization, not a measurement of actual sending flows.
- Evidence
- Live SPF record ↗
Authorised outbound email
Amazon SES / AWS EMEA
US-controlled cloud- Observed
- Aivie lists AWS EMEA in Frankfurt for email delivery. email.aivie.ch MX points to feedback-smtp.eu-central-1.amazonses.com and SPF authorizes amazonses.com. These records identify a sending domain, not every customer delivery route.
Why this matters
This domain authorises Amazon SES / AWS EMEA, infrastructure under US ultimate ownership, to send email. If active, recipient details and message content can be processed there. SPF does not prove active use, the selected AWS region, or use of the separately operated AWS European Sovereign Cloud.
Authorised outbound email
mailomat / mailXpert GmbH
Provider control not verified- Observed
- Optional All Swiss Infrastructure add-on: Aivie says mailomat handles delivery on Swiss infrastructure. mailomat names mailXpert GmbH, CHE-166.546.141. This option is absent from the April 2026 subprocessor table; provider ultimate control was not established here.
Public website
Google Cloud CDN / network
Non-European provider- Observed
- cdn.aivie.ch A 35.190.91.242, AS396982. This is a separate public asset host; the IP does not reveal a private tenant region.
- Evidence
- CDN DNS ↗RIPE network lookup ↗
Why this matters
Public DNS routes website visits through Google Cloud CDN / network. Visitor IP addresses and request metadata can reach this non-European provider; this does not identify the core service's data location.
Supporting services
Backup, log and monitoring storage
Provider control not verified- Observed
- Aivie describes separate backup storage in the same legal area. Its optional All Swiss add-on keeps backups, logs and monitoring in Switzerland. Exact suppliers, sites, retention and tenant configuration were not independently established.
Supporting services
OpenAI (optional AI)
Non-European provider- Observed
- The processor notice lists ChatGPT for optional customer-enabled content processing, with worldwide processing. The website policy also describes US processing for the email assistant; this is not required for every customer.
Why this matters
The published disclosure lists OpenAI (optional AI) for supporting services. Depending on the function, account or customer data may reach this non-European provider. See the source for the documented scope.
Supporting services
Google Gemini (optional AI)
Non-European provider- Observed
- The processor notice lists Gemini with EU processing for optional customer-enabled AI. The stated region does not change provider control.
Why this matters
The published disclosure lists Google Gemini (optional AI) for supporting services. Depending on the function, account or customer data may reach this non-European provider. See the source for the documented scope.
Supporting services
Google Analytics / reCAPTCHA
Non-European provider- Observed
- The website privacy policy names Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA, with US-transfer language for analytics. This documents website dependencies, not a complete production traffic audit.
Why this matters
The published disclosure lists Google Analytics / reCAPTCHA for supporting services. Depending on the function, account or customer data may reach this non-European provider. See the source for the documented scope.
Supporting services
Facebook / Meta
Non-European provider- Observed
- The website privacy policy names Facebook Pixel. Its legacy Privacy Shield references are not treated as proof of current transfer safeguards.
Why this matters
The published disclosure lists Facebook / Meta for supporting services. Depending on the function, account or customer data may reach this non-European provider. See the source for the documented scope.
Supporting services
Postmark / ActiveCampaign
Non-European provider- Observed
- _dmarc.aivie.ch requests aggregate DMARC reports at dmarc.postmarkapp.com, with p=reject and sp=reject. This is a reporting destination, not evidence that Postmark sends campaign email.
- Evidence
- Live DMARC reporting policy ↗
Why this matters
The published disclosure lists Postmark / ActiveCampaign for supporting services. Depending on the function, account or customer data may reach this non-European provider. See the source for the documented scope.
Payment processing
Undisclosed payment processor
Provider control not verified- Observed
- The June 2021 terms permit credit cards or online payment services such as PayPal and third-party processing. The current card processor and payment data regions were not established.
