-<title>Jalview Privacy Statement</title>
-</head>
-<body>
-<p><strong>Privacy for Jalview Users</strong><br>
-<p>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.</p>
-<p>Usage data is collected from the logs of various web services that the Jalview Desktop contacts through its normal operation.
-These are described below:</p>
-<ul>
- <li><em>HTTP logs on the Jalview website</em><br>
- 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.<br><br>
- <ul>
- <li><i>The JNLP file at www.jalview.org/webstart/jalview.jnlp
- is retrieved to determine if you are running the latest version of
- Jalview.</i></li>
- <li><i>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.</i></li>
- <li><i>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.</i></li>
- </ul><br>
- </li>
- <li><em>Google Analytics</em><br>
- Since jalview 2.4.0b2, the Jalview Desktop records usage data with
- Google Analytics via the <a
- href="http://code.google.com/p/jgoogleanalytics/">JGoogleAnalytics</a>
- class.<br>
- 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.</li>
-</ul>
-</p>
-<p><strong>Stopping Jalview from calling home</strong><br>
-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 <a
- href="features/commandline.html">command line options</a> to disable
-the questionnaire and usage statistics check. Finally, the <a
- href="features/preferences.html#connections">Connections Tab</a> of the
-jalview preferences contains options for controlling the submission of
-usage statistics.
-<p><strong>Other Web Clients in Jalview</strong><br>
-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!</p>
