Third-party signals in DNS

Domain-verification and SPF records left in DNS reveal which SaaS platforms a domain has been connected to. These are fingerprints, not proof of active use.

Privacy & data processing

policy published

An AUSEAT trust policy with an unusually specific processor list — Applicaa for admissions, Microsoft Teams lesson recording, the Plaude AI note-taker, ONVU classroom cameras and Flashpark ANPR. Analytics are consent-gated, and its robots.txt pointedly blocks AI crawlers (GPTBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot).
