-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 to 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!
