What about if you don’t use your middle name? Or make a typo?
Seems like a silly argument to say because the contract could be unenforceable you should expect them to delete your data.
The more likely scenario is a script or employee thought it was a fraud account, and deleted the vms.
- zyx321 5y agoIf the contract is unenforceable, Hetzner has no legal obligation to keep your data. If you make a typo, you need to remedy the issue as soon as you become aware of it. You need to use at least your first and last name, unless you are from a culture that does not use last names.
- kjaftaedi 5y agoI autofilled the form with my browser and was unaware of the issue until I got their e-mail. There was no chance to remedy this. I understand that they have no legal obligation to me, and am posting to make others aware that the company might not be interested in resolving conflicts with anything other than the heaviest of hammers.
- zorked 5y agoThat Hetzner cannot be sued for this is different from claiming this is acceptable behavior. Most people come from cultures where filling a form incorrectly does not entitle people to immediately destroy their things. I also come from a country where putting "full name" on a form only means people expect more than your first name and it is customary to not use all of your last names. I am sure many are in the same boat.
