How we collect data

We don't collect any personal data on our website except server logs. We use the following third parties to improve our website performance:

Personal Demo
The Personal Demo you can access from the Try page stores a shortened hash of your IP address to protect against XSS attacks and to prevent the creation of too many demo instances per user.
The demo server temporarily stores content that you enter in your demo instance. This data is completely deleted when the demo instance expires or when you delete your instance manually.
Other personal data except server logs is not collected by the Personal Demo.

Website
Cookies
Our website does not set any cookies by default. Cookies are only set by the shop when visiting the "Buy" page or when using an affiliate link to visit our website.
Analytics and tracking
We do not use any trackers, social media buttons or analytics services on our website.
TLS encryption
This site uses TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential data. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser's address line when it changes from "http://" to "https://" and when the lock icon is displayed in your browser's address bar.
If TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

USA
Linode complies with GDPR. The server is located in their data center in Frankfurt, Germany. You can find their privacy policy here: https://www.linode.com/privacy
Server log files
We automatically collect and store information that your browser transmits to us in "server log files" on our Linode server. These are:
- Browser type and browser version

Personal Demo
Cookies
Like any Kirby website, the demo instances set a session cookie when you log in to the Panel.
You can read more about this in our privacy guide.
IP address
Our demo manager software at https://trykirby.com temporarily stores the IP address of the user who created the demo instance. We need it to protect against XSS attacks and to prevent the creation of too many demo instances per user.
Because the IP address is stored as a shortened hash only, we cannot convert it back to the actual IP address.
Content
The demo server temporarily stores content that you enter in your demo instance. This data is completely deleted when the demo instance expires or when you delete your instance manually.
Analytics and tracking
We do not use any trackers in the Personal Demo.
TLS encryption
Like with our website, connections to the Personal Demo are always encrypted with TLS. See the section on our website's TLS encryption for more details.
