The information collected in the logs is processed in connection with the operation of the Portal. The Controller also processes it for technical purposes; in particular, data may be temporarily stored and processed in order to ensure the security and correct operation of IT systems, for example in connection with making backups, testing changes in IT systems, detecting irregularities or protecting against abuse and attacks.
