  2. Holding: no non-EU parent or holding company. Hetzner DNS has no non-EU parent.
  3. Own infrastructure: it runs its own stack rather than reselling a non-EU service. Hetzner DNS runs its own infrastructure.

Where a server physically sits is shown on each check but does not change the verdict: legal reach follows who controls the processing, not where the bytes are. Read the methodology.
