Introduction.
One of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors.
}}
{{Privacypolicy/Right|content=
{{name-short}} ("us", "we", or "our") operates the website {{name-website}} (the "Service").
This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by {{name-short}} and how we use it. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
<!--We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. At {{name-short}}, accessible from {{name-website}}, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors for the management of the {{name-short}}. The use of the Internet pages of the {{name-short}} is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary.-->
If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the {{name-short}}. <!--By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.-->
<!--As the controller, the {{name-short}} has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.-->
<!--We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our [[Terms of Service]].-->
<!--If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us through email at {{name-email}}.-->

We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.
}}
== Information Collection And Use ==
We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.
=== Types of Data Collected ===
==== Personal Data ====
{{Privacypolicy/Left|content=
Examples of what personally identifiable information may include.
}}
{{Privacypolicy/Right|content=
We collect and process your personal data if you purchase certain products or services from {{name-short}}.
We also collect and process your personal data if you supply us with certain products or services and we need your data to complete the obligation.
While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Data"). Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

Any information that falls outside of this is "non-personal information."
If we store your personal information with information that is non-personal, we will consider the combination as personal information. If we remove all personal information from a set of data then the remaining is non-personal information.
}}
==== Usage Data ====
{{Privacypolicy/Left|content=
We may also collect information on how our web services are accessed and used ("Usage Data").
Like other websites, we receive some information about you automatically when you visit the our Sites.
Examples of usage data.
}}
{{Privacypolicy/Right|content=
{{name-short}} follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. Most if not all hosting companies do this and a part of hosting services' analytics.
This Usage Data may include:
{{Box|text=
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
* IP address of the requesting computer
* Name of the user’s internet access provider
* the website that referred you to our Service
* Cookies and Usage Data
For more examples please press on Expand on the right side.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* exit pages, the last page you view before leaving our Sites
* possibly the number of clicks
* the time and date of your visit
* Name and URL of the retrieved file
* the pages of our Service that you visit
* the time spent on those pages
* Amount of transmitted data
* Access status (file transfer, file not found, etc.)
* unique device identifiers
* diagnostic data
* Detection information for the browser and operating system such as
** browser type
** browser version
** your browser's language preference
* any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
</div>
</div>
}}
The collection, processing, and use of this data are to:
* enable the use of the website, and
* deliver the content of our website correctly,
* customize content and set language preferences
* optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement,
* improve performance,
* understand how users interact with our Sites,
* track and study use of various features,
* analyze trends,
* gain understanding about the demographics of our different Sites,
* ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and
* for system security and technical administration of the network infrastructure, fight vandalism
* test features to see what works
* provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.
A comparison with other data or a transfer to third parties, even in excerpts, does not take place. We do not draw any conclusions about the data subject.
{{name-short}} usually stores data about how you use our Sites in identifiable form for just a few weeks. In special circumstances, like extended investigations about technical attacks, {{name-short}} may preserve log data longer, for analysis.
<!-- own -->
When usage data gets deleted which happens in most if not all cases automatically we will not notify any data subject of the deletion since:
* this would involve disproportionate effort or,
* may even be impossible,
because we cannot infer your contact information from usage data. Rather, we have no interest to infer your contact information from usage data for purposes of data minimization.
<!-- /own -->
{{name-short}} stores aggregate statistics about use of for as long as {{name-short}} hosts the website, but those statistics do not include data identifiable to you personally with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
{{Box|text=
Legal basis for the collection of usage data is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), §6, 1, (f), the legitimate interest of the data controller.

{{Anchor|IP Addresses}}
{{Anchor|IP Addresses Logging Policy}}
==== IP Addresses and IP Addresses Logging Policy ====
{{Privacypolicy/Left|content=
We keep your IP address confidential whenever possible.
We disable IP logging whenever possible.
}}
{{Privacypolicy/Right|content=
When you visit any of our Sites, we automatically receive the IP address of the device (or your proxy server) you are using to access the Internet, which could be used to infer your geographical location. We keep IP addresses confidential, except as provided in this Policy. We don't infer your geographical location, except as provided in this Policy.
A web server is a computer program that answers the request of viewing this website. RAM means volatile memory. Web application means a program run by the web server responsible for showing content. Localhost means the very computer, the local computer where the program is running.
Whenever possible we disable IP logging in the web server which means that the IP address is only known to the web server while only being kept in RAM only to process the request by the web browser. It gets replaced to 127.0.0.1 before it gets forwarded to web applications. Since the IP address is set to a common shared value 127.0.0.1 for everyone and since 127.0.0.1 means localhost it is no longer personal data. No conclusions can be drawn from 127.0.0.1.
We reserve the right to enable IP logging in special circumstances which could include for example the case of technical attacks on {{name-short}} or for purposes required by law.
This policy is in place to minimize the amount of stored data. Historically this resulted in periods where IP addresses are effectively excluded from [[#Log Files]]. However, future periods with IP logging enabled cannot be predicted.
}}
==== Tracking and Cookies Data ====
{{Privacypolicy/Left|content=
<!--We use certain technologies to collect information about how you use our Sites.-->
<!--We use Cookies, JavaScript, Local Storage to improve our service.-->
<!--We also use a variety of commonly-used technologies, like cookies, to collect information regarding how you use the our Sites, make our services safer and easier to use, and to help create a better and more customizable experience for you.-->
Like most other websites, {{name-short}} uses 'cookies' to collect information regarding how you use the our Sites, make our services safer and easier to use, and to help create a better and more customizable experience for you.
We never used tracking technologies for advertising. We do not sell or rent the information collected.
}}
{{Privacypolicy/Right|content=
<!-- A "tracking pixel" (sometimes called "web beacons", "transparent GIFs", "clear GIFs", Wpixel gifsW, or Wpixel tagsW) is a tiny, invisible image that allows us to track activities on our Sites or activities based on email notifications we send. Although tracking pixels are commonly associated with advertising, we never use tracking pixels for advertising nor do we sell or rent the information collected through tracking pixels. Information collected through tracking pixels can only be shared with third parties in aggregated form and in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Tracking pixels help us figure out if certain features, notifications, and products are effective and if they can be improved. [

<!--"JavaScript" is a standard software programming language used on most modern websites. [

<!--"Local Storage" (also known as "Web Storage") is a way for a website to collect and store information "locally" (i.e. on the user's device rather than on the website’s server) and then later retrieve it again. For example, by using LocalStorage, a user’s visits can be stored on their own computer, counted, and then given to us. This allow us to receive important use statistics (the count of visits), while the specific information about when each individual visit occurred would never be transmitted to us.-->
<!--We actively collect some types of information with a variety of commonly-used technologies. These generally include, JavaScript, and a variety of "locally stored data" technologies, such as cookies and local storage. We realize that some of these technologies do not have the best reputation in town and can be used for less-than-noble purposes. So we want to be as clear as we can about why we use these methods and the type of information we collect with them.-->
<!--Depending on which technology we use, locally stored data can be anything from text, pictures, and whole articles (as we explain further below) to Personal Information (like your IP address) and information about your use of our Sites (like your username or the time of your visit).-->
<!--Tracking technologies also used are beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze our Service.-->
Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser. Cookies are files with small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device.
Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the {{name-short}} can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
Examples of Cookies we use:
* Preference Cookies: We use Preference Cookies to remember your preferences and various settings such as your language preference.
* Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.
* Session Cookies: We use Session Cookies to operate our Service.
* Security Cookies: We use Security Cookies for security purposes.
* Functionality: These cookies help the our Sites work, including essential features like user sign-in and authentication so you can bypass entering your passwords on our website for example if you choose the "remember me" option during login.
* Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as "like" and "share" buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. These would only be used with your affirmative consent.
** If you ever come across a third party data collection tool that has not been authorized by you (such as one that may have been mistakenly placed by another user or administrator), please report it to us at {{name-email}}.
<!--* Deliver more relevant content to you faster. For example, we use local storage to store your most recently read articles directly on your device, so they can be retrieved quickly. Also, we use cookies to learn about the topics searched so that we can optimize the search results we deliver to you.-->
<!--* Understand how you use our Sites, so that we know what works and what is useful. For example, we might use cookies to learn about the list of articles you are following on your watchlist so that we can recommend similar articles that you may be interested in.-->
<!--* Understand how you use the our Sites across different devices, so that we can make our varied Sites more efficient and effective for you.-->
