Tracking of backend usage
The backend of our website is exclusively accessed by members of our team and therefore password protected. For security reasons we track all activity in the backend (including all attempts to log into the backend).
Embedded videos
If you play a YouTube video that is embedded in our website (example below), YouTube is able to track your behaviour. However, as long as you do not play the video, no data is transferred to YouTube. (This solution is based on the WordPress plug-in «WP YouTube Lyte».)
Your rights as a data subject
To execute your rights regarding your personal data as guaranteed by chapter 3 of the GDPR, you can contact us any time through info@kiwix.org.
Server logs
For any file request our webserver logs certain data about the device the request is coming from like IP address, operating system and web browser. However, this data is not used to track individual users, and it is stored only for a limited time period.
Website hosting
Our website is hosted by Cyon GmbH in Basel (Switzerland). For more information about how they process personal data on their servers, please read their privacy policy (available in German only).
