General information

Data protection is our concern and our legal obligation. In order to adequately protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption procedures (e.g. SSL/TLS) and secure technical systems. Javascript is used as the active component for the web pages. If you have deactivated this function in your browser, you will receive a corresponding message to activate the function.

Logging

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

Out of consideration for events which may affect security, relevant access data is logged each time the web server of the domain ecology-conservation.de is accessed. The web server of this website is maintained by the Department of Animal Ecoloy and Tropical Biology of Julius-Maximilians-University of Würzburg.

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

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 is used to identify and track illegal access and access attempts to the web server and to create anonymised access statistics for web content optimisation. No user profiles are created.

Retention period: Logged data is stored and then deleted after the project funding period 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 Strato.

Active components

Data communication security: When you send us an email, your email address will only be used for correspondence with you. We cannot warrant the security of any information transferred via internet and email due to the risk that information, including confidential information, sent in the email and its attachments may be destroyed or intercepted during transmission, may get lost or may arrive late. Although the University of Würzburg endeavours to reduce this risk by putting in place appropriate measures, we cannot warrant that information, emails and their attachments forwarded by the ecology-conservation.de are free of viruses, worms or other damaging elements.

Disclaimer

This website includes information made available by cross references (‘links’) to other sites.

With the cross reference, our website only provides access to this content (Section 9 Telemediengesetz (Telemedia Act)). The project is not responsible for these ‘foreign’ contents as it does not initiate the transmission of the information, select the receiver of the transmission or select or modify the information contained in the transmission.

Due to the call-up and link method used, there is not even an automatic, intermediate and transient storage of this ‘foreign information’ by our website. Thus, our website assumes no liability for these external contents.

When a link to such internet content is created for the first time, however, our website does verify whether that foreign content may result in possible civil or criminal legal liability.
