Security Logs:
We conditionally log the IP address of visitors, user IDs of logged-in users, and usernames of login attempts. We do this to ensure the security of our site and protect against malicious activity. For example, logging occurs during login attempts, log-out requests, requests for suspicious URLs, changes to site content, and password updates. Furthermore, we retain this security information for a period of 60 days.
