The protection of your personal data is of utmost concern to SABiDU^®. In these terms and conditions on data protection SABiDU^® would like to inform you about how ensure privacy in our service.

  SABiDU^® shall never disclose or pass your password and/or your user name on to any third party. In some cases, due to law or reason, we have to make an exception. This is the case if support-members access user accounts on their requests to diagnose the problem or if the account needs to be accessed due to legal reasons We continuously enhance the SABiDU^® services and their functions and activate them for the use of SABiDU^® members. Again, it is our concern to offer those services free of charge and it is our opinion that target-oriented advertisment will be accepted by our members. In order to use the advantages of SABiDU^®-services, a membership is mandatory, which means that if you would like to communicate via SABiDU^®, both parties need to have a SABiDU^®-account. As a SABiDU^® member you can invite friends and colleagues to become a member of SABiDU^®, anytime. Please note that for the the transmission of those invitations, we will implement security mechanisms. This is to avoid that mass mails or invitation mails reach  false or incorrect adressees.

Our SABiDU^® services are to a large extent free of charge. And we would like to continue to offer you these services for free. Like all of the big free web services, we use certain areas on the SABiDU^® websites for advertisements. For we believe that relevant and target-oriented information and advertisement is also in the interest of our customers, instead of being haressed with banners and popups. This is the result of numerous surveys. Information and advertisements are not regarded as a necessary evil, but are rather welcome if they are target-oriented and of interest to the respective user. This is the reason why we would like to offer you a free service including an obvious added value for you by using advertisements and information. These advertisements are clearly marked as "advertisements" and will be shown outside the main area of the respective user. We believe to meet the basic requirements because each member can administer their preferences and therefore can immediately influence the incoming information and advertisements.

We accept that our opinion on an ideal value-added service and on advertisement cannot be shared by everyone. At the same time, we believe that everyone can decide for themselves which services to use or not to use.

SABiDU^® is still at a test stage. Yet, users and large surveys have proved that there are no concerns regarding privacy policy in our procedure.

Your profile and personal information are not displayed to third parties. We update and check our security measurements regularly to secure your data in the best way possible .

Each time you access a website from the SABiDU^® Websites, SABiDU^® will save the following data in a log file (the so called "server log"):

• Your IP address (by which your computer can be clearly identified),

• The name and IP address of the computer requesting the respective page from the SABiDU^® Websites (the so called "remote host computer"),

• The time, status, and amount of the transferred data, as well as the Internet website from which you have reached the requested page of the SABiDU^® Websites (the so called "referrer")

In doing this, SABiDU^® is protecting other SABiDU^® Members, the safety of SABiDU^® Members’ data, as well as SABiDU^® Websites and the SABiDU^® Services. There is no linking of the page views and uses stored in the server log with individual persons.
