Hello,

the EU-DSGVO is not my idea and I do not like the implementation but I understand the intention.
However I have to deal with the compliance requirements ...
Yes in Europe an ip address (also a dynamic ip address) is individual data and is part of the EU-DSGVO.

Nice idea to anonymize the street address on postal cards.
Maybe in the next time you will find a sign at each postbox which will inform you what will happen with the individual data you did write on the address field of the postcard and makes the recommendation not to throw the card in the box if you do not agree with it ;)

We will see what EU-DSGVO will bring (today a lot of work *sigh*).

Best regards,
Dirk

This is an EU requirement?

How strange, that an IP address would be considered "personal data".
Especially since it belongs to your ISP, not you.  And in a part of the
world where  you can't walk or drive 30 meters without your face or license
plate being recorded by security cameras (and probably processed by
recognition software).

In the context of the Facebook / Cambridge Analytica fiasco, worrying about
IP addresses in webserver logfiles seems so quaint.

If they make a sequel to Minority Report, will John Anderton need a new IP
address in addition to new eyeballs?

What's next, anonymizing street addresses on postal mail?

Subject: [BlueOnyx:21880] EU-DSGVO - anonymize ip addresses in apache
logfiles / other logfiles?

Hello Michael,

EU-DSGVO is coming...
Is there a possibility for you to add a feature to blueonyx to anonymize ip
addresses in apache logfiles or any other logfiles which collect ip
addresses of individuals?

Maybe a feature to activate in GUI like "anonymize ip addresses in logfiles"
and a function that ip addresses will be changed to 123.234.x.x (anonymize
last two segments).
If you have to debug something you can disable the feature or enable it to
not record this kind of personal data.
Of course pam_abl have to work with complete addresses.

Best regards,
Dirk
