Last Updated: June 2026

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and store your personal data when you visit and use our website https://urlroulette.net/ (the "Website").

Our data processing activities are carried out in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / DSGVO), the Austrian Data Protection Act (Datenschutzgesetz – DSG), and the Austrian Telecommunications Act 2021 (Telekommunikationsgesetz – TKG 2021).

  • Name / Company: Mathias Müller Information Technology
  • Email: office@urlroulette.net
  • Website: https://urlroulette.net/

2. Server Log Files

When you access our Website, the web server automatically collects and stores information in so-called "server log files," which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information may include:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL (the page you visited prior to ours)
  • Hostname of the accessing computer

This data is processed to ensure the security, stability, and smooth operation of our Website.

  • Legal Basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (Legitimate Interest in ensuring security and performance).
  • Storage Period: These log files are deleted or anonymized automatically after 14 days, unless required for investigation of a security incident.

3. Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will collect your email address for the purpose of sending you regular updates (typically on a weekly basis).

To ensure that you actually wish to receive the newsletter, we use a Double Opt-In procedure. After entering your email address on our Website, we will send you a confirmation email containing a link. You must click this link to confirm your subscription. If you do not confirm within 24 hours, your registration will be automatically deleted.

We also store your IP address and the date and time of your registration and confirmation to prove your consent in accordance with legal requirements.

  • Legal Basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (Consent).
  • Withdrawal of Consent: You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link provided at the bottom of every newsletter, or by contacting us at the email address listed in Section 1. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
  • Storage Period: Your email address is stored for as long as your subscription is active. If you unsubscribe, your email address is deleted from our newsletter distribution list, except where retention is legally required or necessary to prove past consent (in which case it will be restricted/archived).

4. Web Analytics (Matomo)

We use the web analytics tool Matomo to analyze the use of our Website and to improve its functionality and user experience.

For this purpose, we process the following information:

  • Your IP address (which is stored for 13 months)
  • Information about your device, browser, operating system, and screen resolution
  • Pages visited, time spent on pages, and navigation paths

Important Notice on Matomo Configuration:

  • Matomo is hosted entirely on our own web servers. Your data remains with us and is not shared with any third parties or Matomo servers.

Legal Basis and Consent (Austrian TKG 2021)

Under Austrian law (§ 165 Abs 3 TKG 2021), any access to or storage of information on your terminal equipment (such as setting cookies) requires your prior active consent, unless it is strictly necessary to provide the service you requested.

  • We only set Matomo analytics cookies if you actively consent to them via our cookie consent banner.
    • Legal Basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (Consent) and § 165 Abs 3 TKG 2021.

How to Opt-Out of Tracking: You can object to the tracking of your visits at any time by configuring your browser's "Do Not Track" settings, or by using the opt-out option in the cookie banner.

5. Storage Duration (Retention)

Unless a specific storage period is mentioned in this policy, we store your personal data only as long as:

  • It is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected;
  • You maintain your consent (where processing is based on consent); or
  • We are subject to statutory retention periods (e.g., under tax or commercial law, which can be up to 7 years in Austria).
