Purpose of the processing of personal data

- working out technical problems and investigating abuse of the Service
- saving and fetching your projects and annotations
- allowing users to identify each other for collaborative projects
Third parties to whom personal data is disclosed
Your UserID is visible to other users of this INCEpTION instance, so that users can identify each other for collaboration on projects. Your UserID is also used to associate you with your projects and your contributions to those projects, which is necessary for INCEpTION functionality. Your email address may be used by local administrative staff to contact you in case of planned server downtime or other system notifications that affect INCEpTION users. Your personal data is used for these purposes only, and is not disclosed to any other third parties.

Use the technical contact above for any requests. For the community edition, to rectify the data released by your Home Organization (Identity Provider), contact your Home Organisation's IT helpdesk.
Data retention
Personal data and information are not stored for longer than three months in log files. A user's account is associated with projects that they own or contribute to, until such projects are deleted.
Anonymous usage statistics
We further collect anonymous usage statistics to help discover the number of enabled and currently logged-in users, documents and enabled recommenders to support future development as well as bug fixing. However, for this we do not collect any specific information on the users, documents or recommenders apart from their overall number and do not associate them with specific projects or personal identifiers.
Obligations of the user
Users are responsible for the actions executed from their accounts. The project managers are responsible to only upload content which does not infringe copyright, is harmful to others or otherwise illegal under European law. Project managers and other users are responsible that the information they add to this content (i.e. annotations) also adheres to this. Users commit to not using the Service for any illegal activities such as file-sharing or storage of illegal material. They are also obligated to not perform any actions that are harmful to the Service such as exploitation of security flaws or denial-of-service attacks. We may terminate user accounts at any time.
Copyright
The Service allows project managers to upload document collections and users to add their own content to these collections. The copyright for this user-generated content does not lie with the UKP Lab. The project managers may add their own copyright notices to their document collections in accordance with applicable law.
Uploaded material may be processed and saved by the Service to provide its functionality (such as segmentation, recommendation, storage, export etc.).
Changes
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time.
