Users should also take into account terms of use of 1KA use and distinct between the use of 1KA on 1ka.si installation and the use of 1KA on own installation. Part of General terms are also Privacy policy, Cookie policy and Anti-spam policy.
I. GENERAL
By registering on the www.1ka.si site you become a user of services offered by 1KA, which enables you to create an online questionnaire and collect survey data on this basis. By registering you explicitly acknowledge that you are familiar with these general terms and conditions, that you agree with them and that you are bound by its provisions. Managers and owners of 1KA website reserve the right to change or update the general conditions at any time and for any reason.
Registration
To use certain services on 1ka.si website you need to register. A mandatory element is an email address, which must be valid, correct and up-to-date throughout the life of these services. The managers and owners of the 1ka.si website commit that we will not use the email except for the purposes of (a) registration, (b) 1KA services required by the user himself (e.g., email invitations to the survey, automatic user notifications of access to the survey, etc.), (c) a one-time invitation to the evaluation survey for the needs of 1KA development, and (d) an annual announcement of upgrades and education (from which the user can also unsubscribe in his profile). In addition, judicial authorities may request personal information in accordance with the law.
Use only for lawful activities and lawful means
By using 1ka.si website the user agrees not to use the website for illegal activities or activities that may be contrary to these terms and conditions. Website should not be used in a manner which could damage, disable, overburden, or otherwise harm the information system used by 1KA.si and it is not allowed to disable or hinder the use of 1ka.si for other users; it is also not allowed to obtain unauthorized access to any service of 1KA.si website.
II. SECURITY AND ACCESSIBILITY OF DATA
Data Security
Communication between users and 1ka.si website runs via SSL standard (Secure Socket Layer) which ensures that the data cannot be accessed by third parties with the help of encryption. Moreover, safety sensitive data, which includes user passwords in 1KA database, is stored in encrypted form.
Storage and accessibility of survey data
1ka.si services on servers in Slovenia permanently store and archive all surveys for users that have exclusive rights to use data collected through their surveys. A professional provider who stores the data adheres to the highest standards in terms of power, security, etc. All the data (every click of each survey separately) is stored parallel on the secondary server (at another location). In addition, backups are performed daily on the outdoor unit, so it is theoretically almost impossible that the data would go missing as it has not happened yet.
Server log files are archived to ensure the reliability of 1KA server and they record errors in the implementation processes. Access log files are also stored and they contain time, IP address, browser type, destination file on the server and outcome of requirement (successful, failed). Log files do not allow identification of survey responses as they are stored separately from the user and survey data.
In case that user deletes survey data through fault of its own, easy data restoration (for simple cases) can be carried out free of charge. Whether it is a simple example or not, is noted for each case individually. All forms of non-standard data restoration (e.g. long-term examples of selective deletion, compensation for existing data at a specific time point) where help from programmers is needed, can be negotiated in accordance with the price list of 1KA additional services.
1KA uses a tool to measure servers’ availability, which means that our team is immediately informed in the event that the server is not available or that its operation is in any way slowed down.
Storage and accessibility of user accounts and surveys
Also, user accounts, along with user surveys are permanently stored and archived on Slovenian professional providers’ servers. This means that each user account remains stored in the database, even when the user is inactive for a long time. It also applies that surveys are stored even after deactivation and data are no longer collected.
The user's responsibility in safeguarding the user name and password
As a user of 1ka.si you are responsible for all activity performed using your user account. You are responsible to use a password that is in terms of safety sufficiently complex, and that the password stored in a secure location.
