Collecting general information when visiting the Xelaton.com website

When accessing the Xelaton.com website, data of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) contains data about:

• IP address (anonymized)
• Web browser (name, version, system)
• Page/file accessed on Xelaton.com
• Time and date

These data are exclusive information that does not allow any conclusions about your person. This information is technically necessary to ensure the correct presentation of the content you request. The data is processed in particular for the following purposes:

• ensuring the smooth display and use of the website
• evaluation of system security and stability
• further administrative purposes

The processing of your personal data is based on the legitimate interest for the purposes mentioned above for data collection. Your data is not used to draw conclusions about you. Anonymous data of this kind may be statistically evaluated in order to optimize the website and the underlying technology.

Contact Form

By contacting Xelaton by e-mail or using the contact form, you give Xelaton the voluntary consent to contact you. This requires the specification of a valid e-mail address.

General security measures on Xelaton.com for data protection

TLS/SSL encryption

To ensure the security of your data during transmission, we use modern encryption methods (e.g. SSL/TLS). You can recognize a secure connection by the fact that the address line in your browser begins with “https://”.

Anonymization of IP addresses

The IP address is anonymized when it is recorded in the server logs. To do this, the digits after the last dot are replaced by a placeholder. This replacement prevents or makes it considerably more difficult to identify a person by their IP address.

Cookies

Xelaton.com does not use cookies or similar technologies.

Hosting and sending/receiving/storing e-mails

Xelaton uses web hosting services from IONOS SE for the purpose of providing its online services and sending/receiving/storing e-mails.

We would like to point out that when e-mails are sent, in addition to the corresponding e-mail addresses, further information (e.g. the providers involved) that is necessary for e-mail traffic and its content is processed, for example to detect viruses, spam, phishing e-mails and so on.

We would like to point out that emails are generally stored unencrypted and are generally only encrypted during transportation. There is no encryption on the sender's or recipient's servers unless special end-to-end encryption (e.g. PGP) is used. We can therefore accept no responsibility for the security of emails in transit.

Personal data and how it is being used when using Xelaton applications

Applications downloaded from Xelaton.com

Xelaton offers test versions of its applications on Xelaton.com. These are equipped with an update checker (check for new versions).

To check for updates, the respective application contacts Xelaton.com and retrieves a text file containing the current version number of the application. This number is then compared with that of the currently running application and if a newer version is available via Xelaton.com, the option to load the new version is offered.
Accessing Xelaton.com for version checking is technically comparable to accessing the website via a browser and the data collected is almost identical to that described under “Collection of general information when visiting the Xelaton.com website”.

The following data is recorded in the server logs when checking for updates:

• IP address (anonymized)
• Application (name, version, system)
• Page/file accessed on Xelaton.com
• Time and date

These data are exclusive information that does not allow any conclusions about your person. The data is processed in particular for the following purposes:

• ensuring the smooth display and use of the update checker
• evaluation of system security and stability
• further administrative purposes

The processing of your personal data is based on the legitimate interest for the purposes mentioned above for data collection. Your data is not used to draw conclusions about you. Anonymous data of this kind may be statistically evaluated in order to optimize the website and the underlying technology.

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 8 weeks.
