Data Privacy

No Protection Of Data Privacy

In principal our administrators could read every data file, but they are to busy doing it.

Please consider that our administrators have to check some log files from time to time, which contain information about the behaviour of the users. Therefore our administrators are legally obligated to discretion.

Personal data must not be stored on our computers by law.

As a default all data are readable for everyone.

And every user belongs to the group staff.

If you want to change the default permissions, put the command

umask 0077

into your .bashrc or .tcshrc. And all new created directories and files will become readable by the oner only. Change old permissions by

chmod -R g-rwx,o-rwx directory
