[BlueOnyx:21881] Re: EU-DSGVO - anonymize ip addresses in apache logfiles / other logfiles?

[Ken Hohhof]

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?

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
