1. What Information Does FAIRDOMHub Collect and Why?

IP Addresses

We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems, to administer our Web site, and to gather demographic information. When you visit our site, we recognize only your domain name and not your e-mail address. We will see your e-mail address only if you give it to us by filling out a form or by sending us an e-mail message.

Cookies

We use cookies to deliver personalized content, to save you having to re-enter your password repeatedly, and to tailor our information offerings to how you and others use the site.

User Registration

When you register with the FAIRDOMHub we ask for a username, password and email address.
1. Your username is used for authentication and attribution. This information is publicly visible, e.g. when a user views a resource you have created.
2. Your password is stored as a cryptographically-secure hash and is not publicly visible. The hash is hidden as well. We cannot recover your password.
3. Your email address is used to confirm your identity and for use when requesting your password to be reset. The email address is visible to users within your project and programme. You also receive site announcement and project subscription e-mails. We might occasionally contact you via e-mail in order to support you in using our service as well as to improve our service.

In order to fully use the FAIRDOMHub service, user registration is required and you are assigned to be a member of a project. As FAIRDOMHub is about finding, sharing and exchanging data, models and processes among scientists, we use the registration information to identify who uploads the data and who you share the data with. The users can either register themselves, or they can sign an agreement that FAIRDOMHub will manage their assets.

Additional Personal Information

You may additionally provide a profile, containing your name, a public email address, skype name, website link and avatar. This information is publicly available to all users. Provide this information only for the purpose of sharing it with others.

Creation of FAIRDOMHub Resources

The details of any data, SOPs, models and other digital assets that you store will be visible to some users. You will be able to control how many users can see this.

Server Logs

When you browse FAIRDOMHub, the server automatically records logs of which pages you access, when you accessed them, and your IP address. These logs are used to fix errors and are not shared with any third parties. Sensitive information (such as passwords) is automatically stripped out.

Analytics

FAIRDOMHub uses local analytics tools to track how users are discovering FAIRDOMHub and interacting with the service. The information gathered includes which pages you visited, which search terms lead you to FAIRDOMHub and information about your web browser. No personally identifiable information is kept.

Information Retention

Your information will be retained by FAIRDOMHub until you choose to remove it, you delete your account, or the FAIRDOMHub service ceases to exist.
If you want your personally identifiable data to be removed, please contact support@fair-dom.org
