Legal basis for data processing :

The data processing is necessary for the accomplishment of a mission of public interest: scientific and technical support and the completion of a convention (service, collaboration for a sequencing project).

Data are collected on registration forms that ask for the name, email address and details of the project, request or challenge submitted.

The data collected are used to send emails and to create statistics on project submissions (no profiling is done). They are processed automatically when an account is created with the registration form.

Personal data are accessible to the France Genomique management team, the web master and the hosting IT support team. The platform managers have access to the surnames, first names, units, contact details when an order is placed with their platform, in view to contact the project leader.

Data are used to monitor suspicious activities (e.g. site hacking attempts), to diagnose problems on the site.

The data collected will be kept for 10 years (legal conservation) and stored on a dedicated server.
