Collected information

Access data

In general, you can access kielia.de without disclosing any personal data. Data submitted by your browser to request a certain content are recorded by our web server (“server log file”). They include the network address (domain or IP address) of your computer, date and time, requested file, referring page, and other technical data. Your network address is automatically anonymized by our web server such that we cannot identify individual users. The anonymized server log files are evaluated for error analysis and for optimizing our web services.

Emails

When using kielia.de, you may contact us via email. All information that we receive from you is stored in our communication system to handle your request, and for later reference. Your data are neither used for other purposes such as advertising, nor passed on to third parties.

We use encryption and other technical and organizational measures to secure our networks. However, we cannot guarantee privacy of online communications.
