Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of Art. 4 (7) GDPR is:

Lorenz Emmerich Hackl (Vontures)

Edlingstraße 9j

8792 St. Peter-Freienstein, Austria

lorenzhackl@vontures.com

We have not appointed a data protection officer, as we are not legally required to do so.

2. What data we collect

We collect personal data only when you voluntarily provide it through our contact form:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Company name (optional)
  • Your message content

We also store your language preference (DE/EN) in your browser's local storage. This is not personal data and is never transmitted to our servers.

3. How we use your data

We use your contact form data exclusively to respond to your inquiry and discuss potential projects. We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or any automated decision-making.

4. Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6)

The processing of your data is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) when you voluntarily submit the contact form, and on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) to respond to business inquiries.

5. Data processing & third parties

Contact form submissions are processed exclusively on our own web space and delivered to us by email. No external form or email service is involved, and your data is not transferred to third countries.

To prevent abuse, your IP address is stored temporarily and in shortened, non-reversible form (hashed) for a maximum of 24 hours, solely to limit the number of submissions. The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany, acting as our processor under Art. 28 GDPR. IONOS stores server log data (IP address, time of access, requested resource, browser type, referrer) for a short period to ensure secure and stable operation and to defend against attacks. The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data is processed on servers within the European Union. Further information is available in the IONOS Privacy Policy.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any other third parties.

6. Data retention

We retain your contact form data only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for potential follow-up communication. You can request deletion at any time.

7. Cookies & tracking

This website does not use cookies for tracking or analytics. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar tracking tools. The only data stored locally is your language preference.

8. Your rights under GDPR

As a data subject, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • Rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • Erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR)
  • Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • Object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR)
