-Jalview Privacy Statement
-
-
-Privacy for Jalview Users
-
The Jalview Desktop application which is available from the
-www.jalview.org site does not contain code designed collect personal or
-private information without your consent. However, we do collect usage
-statistics to work out who is using Jalview, so we can apply for funding
-to support Jalview development, and make it better for our users.
-Usage data is collected from the logs of various web services that the Jalview Desktop contacts through its normal operation.
-These are described below:
-
- - HTTP logs on the Jalview website
- We record IP addresses of machines which access the web site, either
- via the browser when downloading the application, or when the Jalview
- Desktop user interface is launched.
-
- - The JNLP file at www.jalview.org/webstart/jalview.jnlp
- is retrieved to determine if you are running the latest version of
- Jalview.
- - The questionnaire web service at
- www.jalview.org/cgi-bin/questionnaire.pl is checked and a unique
- cookie for the current questionnaire is stored in the Jalview
- properties file.
- - The Jalview web services stack is contacted to
- retrieve the currently available web services. All interactions with
- the public jalview web services are logged, but we delete all job data
- (input data and results) after about two weeks.
-
-
- - Google Analytics
- Since jalview 2.4.0b2, the Jalview Desktop records usage data with
- Google Analytics via the JGoogleAnalytics
- class.
- The Google Analytics logs for Jalview version 2.4 only record the fact
- that the application was started, but in the future, we will use this
- mechanism to improve the Desktop user interface, by tracking which
- parts of the user interface are being used most often.
-
-
-Stopping Jalview from calling home
-If you run Jalview in 'headless mode' via the command line, then the
-program shouldn't try to contact any of the web servers mentioned above
-(if it does, then it's a bug!). You can also specify some command line options to disable
-the questionnaire and usage statistics check. Finally, the Connections Tab of the
-jalview preferences contains options for controlling the submission of
-usage statistics.
-
Other Web Clients in Jalview
-The Jalview desktop is intended to make it easier to interact with
-web-based bioinformatics resources. However, we can't take any
-responsibility for the integrity of any external services you might
-access via the program. Sorry!
