RebeccAi

GDPR overview

There is no mention of the GDPR anywhere on this site. A full-text search across every page collected, raw HTML and the German edition included, returns no occurrence of GDPR, DSGVO or data protection officer. The privacy policy, last updated 04/2023, follows a generic template: it states no legal basis for processing, sets no retention period, and describes no right of access, rectification, erasure, portability or objection. It does set a children's threshold at 13, a figure drawn from US practice rather than from European law. The publisher is nonetheless established in Austria and therefore squarely within the GDPR's territorial scope. The terms are governed by Austrian law, name the courts of Tyrol and point to the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform. No Article 27 representative is designated, and none is required for a controller established inside the Union.

Who owns the data?

The service is operated by Patrick Sieber, trading as RebeccAi from Fulpmes, Austria. The terms keep all site content and marks in the publisher's hands. A broad submissions clause assigns to the publisher every intellectual property right in any question, comment, suggestion, idea, feedback or other information sent about the Services, which it may then use and disseminate commercially without acknowledgement or payment. The publisher stores data you transmit and runs routine backups, but disclaims all liability for its loss or corruption. The FAQ states that ideas are not shared with third parties, and that service providers may access personal data solely to perform tasks on the publisher's behalf.

Reuse rights

On paper, reuse is tightly restricted. The terms grant only a non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to access the service and to download or print a copy of the content, expressly for personal, non-commercial use only. Any reproduction, republication, redistribution, sale or commercial exploitation requires prior written permission, to be requested at info@rebecc.ai. Systematically extracting data to build a collection, database or directory is forbidden, as is using the service to compete with the publisher or in any revenue-generating activity. In practice the interface invites you to export your report as a PDF and to edit and save your business plans indefinitely, and a business plan is by nature a commercial document, which sits awkwardly beside a non-commercial licence. Anyone planning to put the output in front of a bank or an investor should clear that point with the publisher first.

Data retention & training

Hosting summary

The terms state that the services are hosted in Austria, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and France, and that anyone using the service from another region expressly consents to their data being transferred to and processed in those five countries. No hosting provider is named, no broad region such as EU or North America is declared as such, and no certification, data processing agreement or subprocessor list is published. Governing law is Austrian, with the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Tyrol, and consumers resident in the European Union keep the mandatory protections of their own country. Note that the domain resolves to a content delivery network node rather than to the publisher's own infrastructure, so DNS tells you nothing about where data actually sits: the terms are the only source on that point.
