privacy policy
for the KYPS service, which is provided by
XRTC Unternehmergesellschaft (haftungsbeschränkt)
and referred to as "KYPS", "we", or "us" in the following.
We take the protection of your personal information very seriously. Personal information is stored only to the extent that is necessary for technical or legal reasons. Personal information is never dislosed to third parties, except to the extent required by law.
The following privacy policy explains how we provide this protection, and what personal data is stored for which purposes.
the KYPS service
When you register a KYPS account, the system stores your email address, the current time, the first three bytes of the IP address of the computer that issued the request, and your mobile phone number (if provided) in its database. For every third-party account that you register with KYPS, the service stores in its database the address of the login page of the third party in question, along with the username you provide. You may also provide your password for the account. If you do, then KYPS stores this in its database, too (in encrypted form).
Using your administration code, which is provided to you by KYPS during registration, you may, at any time, update or irrevocably delete your personal information that is stored in the KYPS database. Your data may also be updated or deleted by administrative action on our part. As a security precaution, data that concerns third-party accounts is automatically deleted from the KYPS database in case of extended inactivity periods. The exact rules for automatic account deletion due to inactivity are documented here.
KYPS generates a log file that contains descriptions of important events that occur during service provisioning. Entries in the log file include the frist three bytes of the IP address of the computer that originated the request that is associated with the event (if applicable), and/or the username that is associated with the event (if applicable). The log file does not contain (a) passwords of any sort, and (b) information about pages that are accessed via the reverse proxy function of KYPS. The log file is deleted after a statistical analysis.
KYPS may use your information in order to generate general usage statistics of the service. Such statistics may be periodically published in an appropriately anonymised fashion. The KYPS service will not publish any information that may enable others to infer your personal information.
The KYPS service will use all information that arises during service provisioning exclusively for the purposes of providing and improving the KYPS service.
