Data Protection Statement

Logging

Out of consideration for events which may affect security, relevant access data are logged each time the web server of the domain uni-wuerzburg.de is accessed. The web servers for the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg are maintained by its computer centre. Additional web servers may be maintained by the individual faculties, who are obliged to adhere to the regulations regarding university web servers.

Depending on the access protocol used, the log data include:

• IP address of the requesting computer
• date and time of request
• access method / function required by the requesting computer
• input values (e.g. file name) transferred by the requesting computer
• web server access status (file transferred, file not found, command not executed, etc.)
• URL from which the file was requested / the function was initiated
• browser identifier

Purpose of logging

Recorded data are used to identify and track illegal access and access attempts to the web server, and to create anonymized access statistics for web content optimization. No user profiles are created.

Retention period

Logged data are stored for three months and then deleted, provided there is no known web attack leading to civil or criminal prosecution of the attacker.

Analysis

The data is analysed by the respective web server operator authorized by Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg.
