IP Addresses

The IP Address is sent with every request, so that the Server knows where to send its responses. Each internet user attains an IP Address from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) as soon as they connect with the internet. The ISP knows which IP Addresses were used at which time and by which internet user. The law requires that the ISP retains this information.

Webtrekk does not save the IP Address. We immediately shorten the IP Address for session recognition and the geographic analyses in our tool. Then we delete the IP Address. It is not possible to link our data with any individual person or to identify any individual person with our data.

The geographical analyses function via a database that contains the IP Address information of various ISPs with the geographic location of the IP Address included down to the city level. The individual address of the internet user is unknown.
