Standard Configuration

In the standard configuration of EFS (Enterprise Feedback Suite), Tivian does not save IP addresses together with survey results. This ensures a basic level of privacy for survey respondents.

Special Rights

There is an exception to the standard configuration. If special rights have been activated, it becomes possible to manually enable the saving of IP addresses on a project-by-project basis. This feature is not enabled by default and requires specific authorization.

Data Logging

IP addresses are logged in a separate database for troubleshooting and IT-Security purposes. This database log is only accessible to Tivian administrators and is not directly linked to survey results.

Data Linking

While it is theoretically possible to link an IP address from the database log to a specific survey answer, this process requires considerable effort and is only available for a limited period of time. Due to the significant resources required, this is offered as an additional chargeable service and is exclusively used for prosecuting criminal offenses.
