Privacy Policy

The qcn.stanford.edu Privacy Policy:

Introduction:

Thank you for visiting the Quake-Catcher Network’s Web site, qcn.stanford.edu. We know privacy is an important issue for our visitors, and we want you to know that QCN takes privacy seriously. Please take a minute to review our qcn.stanford.edu privacy policy, which describes what types and categories of personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information we collect from visitors to qcn.stanford.edu, the purposes for which we use this information, and the categories of third parties to whom and under what circumstances we disclose this information. This policy only applies to information we collect through qcn.stanford.edu and for qcn.stanford.edu through Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC boinc.stanford.edu).

The Collection of Information on qcn.stanford.edu:

Nie-deelnemer Viewer:

Wanneer besoekers toegang qcn.stanford.edu, QCN kan outomaties versamel nie persoonlik identifiseerbare inligting oor hulle, insluitend, onder andere, die skakels besoekers gebruik om te kom op qcn.stanford.edu, die domein en die gasheer van wat besoekers toegang tot die Internet, die soort webblaaier wat besoekers gebruik, die aard van die bedryfstelsel gebruik, IP adresse, en die aantal en frekwensie van besoekers wat verskeie bladsye van ons webwerf besoek.

Deelnemer Viewer:

Ons samel persoonlike inligting oor die besoekers wanneer hulle vrywillig stuur dit aan ons. Byvoorbeeld, Ons vra vir inligting wanneer 'n besoeker registreer vir 'n rekening of diens deur qcn.stanford.edu. We also ask for a visitor’s name and email address if the visitor wants to submit a question to us via email message or wishes to link to qcn.stanford.edu. All visitors who create accounts are asked for country and postal code information.

Visitors who participate in online seismic data acquisition through the distributed computing program, BOINC (http://qcn.stanford.edu), may choose to enter their sensor location (longitude and latitude) (i) into an online web form, (ii) automatically based on IPAddress lookup with GeoIP, (iii) via a GoogleMap, of (iv) via an online Google address lookup button. Information from the latter two methods necessarily transfers location information to and from Google.com, but does not transfer any other information associated with the query. If option (iv) is used, the address information is erased after the form is submitted, en geen rekord is gestoor. Die akkuraatheid van die geoip lookup dra 'n IP-adres te Maxmind, en ontvang geskatte lengte-en breedtegraad inligting. Die besoekende deelnemer kan kies om die plek te deel 'n geskatte plek (met presisie tot ongeveer 0.1 te 1km) of die presiese plek voorsien. Geen versekering gegee dat die eindgebruiker bied 'n presiese ligging. Kaarte van die huidige sensor, en in sommige gevalle, afgelope sensor plekke word geïllustreer in verskeie plekke aanlyn.

Versameling van inligting deur BOINC:

Aanlyn profiel bladsye word outomaties gegenereer op qcn.stanford.edu met behulp van inligting wat ingesamel is deur BOINC. 'N aanlyn-gasheer-besonderhede bladsy is geskep vir elke deelnemer in qcn.stanford.edu / sensor en qcn.stanford.edu / voortdurende. Die detail
