Why DuzMarc
Most well-known DMARC tools are American or British. That is not a problem in itself, but it does mean you have to look carefully into jurisdiction, data rules and the language of support. DuzMarc deliberately chooses differently, not only in where the data sits but in every link of the chain.
The whole chain is European
Plenty of providers call themselves "EU-hosted" when only the main database sits in Europe. At DuzMarc that principle applies to every single link:
Server & hosting
Etheron · The Netherlands
Not an American hyperscaler (AWS/Azure/Google Cloud), so data cannot fall under the US Cloud Act.
SSL/TLS certificate
Actalis · Italy
Even the secure connection itself comes from a European certificate authority rather than the usual American ones.
DNS resolvers
DNS4EU & Quad9 · EU / Switzerland (adequacy country)
Both our own servers and the free check tools on this site use these resolvers instead of Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1).
Fonts
Self-hosted · On our own server
No external request to fonts.googleapis.com on every page visit, as happens on most websites. Your IP address is therefore never shared with Google for this.
Domain & mail
Soverin · The Netherlands
Our own domain management and mail traffic run through a Dutch company too.
Transactional email
Lettermint · The Netherlands
Password resets, verification emails and notifications are sent through a Dutch SMTP provider.
Payments
Mollie · The Netherlands
Direct debit runs through a Dutch payment service provider.
DuzMarc next to the best-known alternatives
Think of tools such as dmarcian, EasyDMARC, PowerDMARC and Valimail (all American) and Red Sift OnDMARC (British).
| Characteristic | DuzMarc | Most best-known alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Head office | The Netherlands (EU) | United States or United Kingdom |
| Falls (partly) under the US Cloud Act | No | Often yes, as an American company |
| Data guaranteed to stay inside the EU | Always, backups included | Not guaranteed, depends on the data centre you pick |
| SSL/TLS certificate from an EU certificate authority | Yes (Actalis, Italy) | Usually an American certificate authority |
| Self-hosted fonts (no Google Fonts) | Yes, entirely local | Usually Google Fonts loaded from fonts.googleapis.com |
| DNS resolvers for our own infrastructure and tools | DNS4EU / Quad9 (EU + adequacy country) | Usually Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) |
| Dutch-language support | Yes | Usually English only |
| Fixed, public prices on the website | Yes, visible straight away | Varies, sometimes on request only |
| Create an account yourself, without a sales call | Yes | Often only through a demo or contact form |
| Trackers or advertising networks on the website | No | Not always disclosed, often third-party marketing tooling |
| AI training on customer data | No, never | Policy differs per provider |
Based on company information published by the providers themselves, and on what is generally common practice on websites (such as loading Google Fonts). The policies and technology of individual providers may change or differ. When in doubt, always check the current situation with the provider concerned.
The same core function, different starting points
When it comes to collecting, aggregating and displaying DMARC reports, most tools do broadly the same thing. The difference lies in who the supplier is, where your data (and every link around it) sits, and how openly that is communicated.
Jurisdiction
DuzMarc is a Dutch company. Your data falls under European law, not under American or other foreign legislation.
Privacy by design
No trackers, no advertising networks, no AI training on your email data, no external font requests. Only the session cookies needed to keep you logged in.
Start straight away
No mandatory sales call. Pick a subscription, create an account at app.duzmarc.nl and get going within minutes.
