Purpose

All users are obliged to comply with the statutory provisions in connection with the use of the IT services of the University of Vienna, in particular the provisions of data protection and those to protect personal rights.

Communication

Communication in all channels, services, technical facilities and user groups must be objective and appreciative. In particular, all users are prohibited from communicating content that violates statutory provisions, is immoral, discriminatory, insulting or defamatory.
