Privacy Policy

This page explains what personal data this website processes, why, on what legal basis, and for how long. It is provided under Articles 13 and 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Telecommunications Act (TKG 2021).

1. Who is responsible

Ing. Matthias Harald Hübner
Brunnenplatz 5a, Door 8
7210 Mattersburg, Austria
Email: hello@matthiashuebner.at

There is no statutory obligation for this website to appoint a data protection officer, and none has been appointed.

2. Visiting this website

This website is hosted by Netlify, Inc., 101 2nd Street, San Francisco, California 94105, USA. When you open a page, Netlify's servers automatically record:

This happens for every website and is necessary to deliver the page to you and to keep the service secure and working. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure and functioning website, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. These records are held by Netlify as our processor and are kept only for as long as they are needed to deliver the site and to detect and resolve technical faults and abuse; we do not set the retention period ourselves and we do not receive these records. They are not combined with any other data and are not used to identify you.

3. Contacting us

If you write to us by email or use the contact form, we process the data you provide in order to answer you. Our mailbox is operated by Zoho Corporation B.V., Beneluxlaan 4B, 3527 HT Utrecht, Netherlands. Mail addressed to us is received on Zoho's European servers. Zoho states that data may also be processed within its group of companies outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States, on the basis of an intra-group agreement using the European Commission's standard contractual clauses; a copy of those arrangements can be requested from Zoho at legal@zohocorp.com. The contact form asks for:

Providing the required fields is not a legal obligation, but without them we cannot reply. The optional fields can be left empty with no disadvantage to you.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry concerns a contract or steps taken before entering into one, and otherwise our legitimate interest in answering enquiries addressed to us, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We do not ask for your consent for this, because none is needed.

Messages sent through the contact form are received and stored by Netlify Forms, a service of the same Netlify, Inc. named above, on servers in the United States. We keep enquiries for six months after we receive them, in case of follow-up questions, and then delete them. If you ask us to delete your enquiry sooner, we will. Where an enquiry leads to a business transaction, Austrian tax law requires us to keep the related records for seven years, and we keep those records for that period instead.

The form includes a hidden field intended to catch automated spam submissions. It is not visible to you, collects nothing about you, and is not used for any other purpose.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

This website sets no cookies at all. There is no analytics, no tracking, no advertising and no profiling of any kind, and nothing is stored on your device or read from it. Under § 165(3) TKG 2021, consent would only be required for storing information on your device, or accessing it, where that is not strictly necessary to provide the service you asked for. Since nothing of the sort happens here, there is no cookie banner and none is needed.

5. No third-party content

Fonts, styles, scripts and images on this website are served from this website's own domain. Your browser is not asked to contact any third-party server to display these pages, so no data about your visit reaches third parties through embedded content.

6. Who else receives your data

We use two external service providers, both acting as our processors and processing data only on our instructions:

We do not sell your data, and we do not pass it to anyone else unless we are legally required to do so. Netlify's Data Processing Agreement is incorporated by reference into its terms and conditions and therefore applies to our use of the service.

Because Netlify is based in the United States, data processed by Netlify is transferred outside the European Economic Area. Netlify, Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision, and additionally relies on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. You can read the safeguards in Netlify's Data Processing Agreement, and we will send you a copy on request. Traffic between your browser and Netlify is encrypted via HTTPS.

7. Automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. Nothing on this website makes decisions about you.

8. Your rights

In respect of the data we hold about you, you have the right to access it, to have it corrected, to have it erased, to have its processing restricted, and to receive it in a portable format. To exercise any of these, write to hello@matthiashuebner.at.

Your right to object. Where we process your data on the basis of our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to that processing at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation. If you object, we will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms. An email to the address above is enough; no particular form is required.

If you believe we are handling your data unlawfully, you can complain to us directly or to the Austrian Data Protection Authority:
