Do I need to adjust my website for GDPR compliance?

As the operator, you are responsible for handling data correctly on your website , just as you are for the content itself. To assess your legal situation, legal experts and the Austrian Economic Chamber (WKO) can provide helpful information. The specific requirements applicable to you depend on your individual case . However, in most instances, you will at least need a comprehensive privacy policy that informs your users transparently about what data you collect and for what purposes.

Can I conclude a data processing agreement with world4you?

Yes, we provide all our hosting customers with a data processing agreement. You can download and sign the agreement at my.world4you.com under Your User > Customer Data . We offer you a legally reviewed agreement , so please use only the provided form and do not send us your own data processing agreement. You do not need to return the form to us. We log the download and your digital consent , so no additional signature is required. If you are registering a domain without web hosting ( domain-only ), you do not need a data processing agreement with world4you.

Does world4you place cookies on my website?

No, world4you does not access the content of your website . When you visit your website, we only store technically necessary log files .

What data does world4you collect?

When your website is accessed, our servers generate log files . These serve operational security , create access statistics , and help detect and resolve errors. Naturally, these log files are processed and handled in compliance with GDPR . The log files include the following information : The accessed page ( URL ) The browser or browser version The operating system used The referrer URL (the previously visited page) The hostname and IP address of the accessing computer The time of the server request Since IP addresses fall under personal data , you must inform your users in the privacy policy that they are collected and for what purposes. We store the log files for two weeks and then delete them. Error log files are also available to your customers, which are helpful for identifying errors, and these are automatically deleted after two weeks as well.

What impact does GDPR have on access statistics?

For world4you, GDPR has resulted in the following adjustment: Since IP addresses are classified as personal data, they are no longer evaluated or displayed in the access statistics of your website. Additionally, IP addresses have been removed from existing statistical files. You can still view your website's statistics via the /stats directory on your domain (e.g., beispielwebsite.at/stats).

Highest security standards

GDPR-compliant hosting requires high security standards to ensure the confidentiality of data. In our hosting packages, we automatically activate a free SSL certificate for you, which securely encrypts all data transmissions on your website.

Data sharing

We provide you with a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) in our customer area at my.world4you.com, which clearly outlines how personal data from your website is processed by world4you. This ensures that the data is handled only according to your instructions and in a GDPR-compliant manner.

Person standing in front of a pile of paper

In your website's privacy policy, you must specify what personal data you collect and how you process and protect this data. In our guide to the privacy policy, we explain in detail what needs to be included so that you and your users are always on the safe side.
