This data is stored in server log files in order to deliver the website and keep it secure.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; my legitimate interest lies in providing the website securely and reliably. Data may be transferred to the USA. GitHub is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; transfers rely on the European Commission’s adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR). See GitHub’s privacy statement for details.
