This policy explains how AIOD — a trading name of MAXFR LTD — handles information when you visit aiod.co.uk. It is written to be read, not to be survived.
1. Who we are
This website is operated by MAXFR LTD, a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 1455659), trading as AIOD. For any privacy question, or to exercise any of the rights below, contact us at deploy@aiod.app. MAXFR LTD is the data controller for this website.
2. The short version
- We set no cookies of our own, and no tracking or advertising cookies of any kind.
- We run no third-party analytics scripts (no Google Analytics, no tracking pixels, no beacons). Our footer says "served with zero trackers", and we mean it literally.
- Basic, privacy-respecting visitor statistics are gathered server-side by our hosting provider — without cookies and without identifying you.
- The interactive tools on this site compute entirely in your browser; the figures you enter are never transmitted to us.
- The only third parties involved are our font provider, our host, and an optional social embed you must click to load.
3. Cookies
A cookie is a small file a website can store in your browser. AIOD sets none. You do not need to accept anything to use this site, which is why you have not been shown a cookie banner — there is nothing to consent to.
Two narrow exceptions are described in section 6, and both are strictly optional and under your control:
- If you click to load the Instagram archive on our Origins page, Instagram may then set its own cookies.
- Our hosting and font providers may use strictly necessary mechanisms to deliver the site securely; these are not used to track you across other websites.
4. What little we collect
Server logs and aggregate analytics
Our site is served through Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes the technical information your browser sends with each request — such as IP address, browser type, the page requested and a timestamp — to deliver the site, keep it secure, and produce aggregate traffic statistics (visit counts, popular pages, broad country-level location). This is done at the server level, without analytics cookies and without building a profile of you. We use it only to understand roughly how many people visit and what they read.
Information you send us
If you email us — including via the "email my results" buttons on our tools, which simply open a pre-filled message in your own email app — we receive whatever you choose to send: your email address, your message, and any figures you include. We use this solely to respond to you and discuss a potential deployment. The tools themselves do not send us anything; the email is composed and sent by you, from your own account.
5. Why we are allowed to handle it (lawful bases)
Under the UK GDPR, we rely on:
- Legitimate interests — for secure delivery of the website and basic aggregate statistics, which are necessary to run a website at all and have minimal privacy impact.
- Consent — for loading the optional Instagram embed, which only happens if you click to load it.
- Taking steps at your request — when you email us about our services, we process your message to reply.
6. Third parties
We keep these to the minimum a modern website needs, and name them plainly:
| Provider | Purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosting, security & delivery | Server-side; no analytics cookies set by us |
| Google Fonts | Typefaces (Chakra Petch, IBM Plex) | Serves font files; your browser requests them on page load |
| Instagram (Meta) | Optional archive embed on Origins | Loads only if you click; then sets its own cookies under Meta's policy |
| Your email provider | Sending us a message | Only if you choose to email us |
We do not sell or share your information, and we do not use it for advertising. We have no advertising on this site.
7. The interactive tools
Our calculators and diagnostics — hardware sizing, cost comparison, exposure and resilience scoring — run entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you enter is sent to us or stored on a server. If you use an "email my results" button, your browser builds a message from those figures and hands it to your own email app; sending it is your choice. (Fittingly, the tools practise what the product preaches: the data stays with you.)
8. How long we keep things
Server logs and aggregate statistics are retained by our host for a limited period under their standard practice and are not kept by us beyond that. Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any resulting relationship, after which they are deleted.
9. Your rights
Under the UK GDPR you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. Because we deliberately collect so little — and nothing that identifies you from browsing alone — there is often little to act on, but we will always help. To exercise any right, email deploy@aiod.app.
You also have the right to complain to the UK's supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk — though we'd appreciate the chance to put things right first.
10. External links
This site links to other websites — including our sister brands and WarGameLLM, and our parent MAXFR LTD. Once you follow a link off aiod.co.uk, this policy no longer applies; please consult the privacy policy of the site you visit.
11. Changes to this policy
If we change how this site handles data — for example, if we ever introduce a feature that requires cookies — we will update this page and its "last updated" date first. If a change ever required your consent, we would ask for it before the change took effect.
We collect almost nothing, set no tracking cookies, run no tracking scripts, and the one optional embed waits for your click — because a company that sells air gaps should run a website you can trust on sight.
