CCP4 Online

CCP4 Online and Data Protection

At STFC (being a Council under, and part of, United Kingdom Research and Innovation), we intend to make sure that we maintain the UK as a world-leader in science and technology research - integral to this is our commitment to protecting and safeguarding your data privacy.

It is part of STFC's public purpose to provide services such as CCP4 Online. In order to effectively provide that service to you, we need to collect information about you and may need to contact you from time to time with regards to its provision.

STFC considers it in the legitimate interest of anyone who has signed up to access the CCP4 Online service that it should be able to effectively and efficiently manage the service for their benefit. STFC therefore requests and securely holds the data which it requires for these purposes.

CCP4 Online stores your user name, email address and host institute. The email address is needed in case you need to change your password or restore forgotten credentials. Giving your host institute is completely optional and is just for us to know our user base a bit. In addition, the web server (Apache) stores your IP address in the standard logs.

We will not share your information with anyone. The only exception is that if you choose to submit your results from our molecular replacement pipelines to model building with the ARP/wARP web service, the submission will include your email address so that the model building results can be communicated from ARP/wARP to you. The use of that service will be optional for each job you submit.

UKRI and Data Protection

UKRI and STFC comply with the requirements of the GDPR with regard to the collection, storage, processing and disclosure of personal information and is committed to upholding the GDPR’s core data protection principles. A full notice of UKRI’s position with regards to Freedom of Information and the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) (EU) (2016/679) can be found at: https://www.ukri.org/freedom-of-information

In summary

By accepting this statement, you consent to

  • the terms of the CCP4 Licence
