The information inside the log files includes truncated internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, your operating system, date/time stamp, and the pages/services you visited on our server (pbwww.che.sbg.ac.at). This information is used for administrative and technical reasons only, such as debugging and error handling, preparation of maintenance work, to ensure the stability of our services, and to optimize our services. IP addresses and other such information are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. Under no circumstances, this data will be passed on to third parties. The log files are automatically deleted after 10 days.
