Privacy Policy

The Chaostreff Osnabrück e.V. stores just that much personal data as is absolutley necessary in order to offer information and services to visitors and members in reliable and safe way.

We ourselves operate the server as a VServer with all services. An evaluation of the logfiles of the services will be done exclusively by ourselves und only to detect possible errors or intrusion attempts.

We therefore decided explicitely to avoid the usage of cookies and tracking tools for the analysis of the data traffic like e.g. GoogleAnalytics.

We only pass any parts of the collected data according to legal demands e.g. to law enforcement authorities or tax authorities.

Subsequently, we break down exactly at which opportunity we store which data for what time period. The subsequently mentioned password storage does not mean the plain text storage of the password but the storage of the password hashes instead. We further describe the steps necessary to delete those data that are not deleted automatically.

Use of our Public Video Chat

The open source software Jitsi Meet is used to transmit video and audio signals. Based on WebRTC, data and media streams are transmitted encrypted via Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) and Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP). However, WebRTC does not (yet) offer the possibility of encrypting video chats with several people end-to-end. This means: On the transport route or in the network the video chat is encrypted, but on the video chat server the entire data traffic is decrypted and can therefore be viewed by the provider.

As the provider we do not store any information about you or the video chats. Nothing is logged or saved/recorded. The logging level is reduced to such an extent that not even the IP addresses of the users are recorded.

However, each Jitsi server stores a minimum of data in the local storage of a web browser. The local storage is a modern form of so the called cookies. The stored data make the usage of Jitsi more comfortable and they comprise e.g. the recently visited conferences and the display name of a user within a conference.

Any NAT client can determine its pulic IP address using an STUN server and can thereby establish a direct connection between participants.

meet.osna.social uses an own STUN server running on the same server. This Jitsi server is dimensioned for many concurrent users and conferences.

If you do not trust us as the provider, you also have the possibility of hosting your own Jitsi Meet instance.
