Use of Service.
The Norwegian NeLS Galaxy Sites are a free, public, Internet accessible resource (the “Service”) for Norwegian Life Scientists and their collaborators. Data transfer is encrypted. Data storage is not encrypted. If there are restrictions on the way your research data can be stored and used, please consult your local institutional review board or the project principal investigator before uploading it to any public site, including this Service. Your access to the service may be revoked at any time for reasons deemed necessary by the operators of the Service.
You acknowledge that you are responsible for compliance of all of your data processing activities carried out on the Galaxy Service with applicable laws and regulations of Norway, as well as any laws or regulations of other legislations or any other restrictions that might be applicable due to the provenance, intended use, legal ownership of or any licensing or other legal restrictions imposed on the data being processed.
You are strictly prohibited from making use of the Galaxy Service for the storage or processing of any Personal Data or Sensitive Personal Data as defined by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including but not limited to potentially personally identifying medical data.
Accounts and Service Limitations
To use the Service, a user account will be automatically registered with the Service upon first time login with your FEIDE identity or your NeLS IdP identity. Your registration data is primarily used so you may persistently store data on the Service and use advanced Galaxy features such as sharing and workflows. The operators of the Service will not provide your registration data to any third party unless required to do so by law. Your access to the Service is provided under the condition that you abide by any published quotas on data storage, job submissions, or any other limitations placed on the public Service. Attempts to subvert these limits by creating multiple accounts or through any other method may result in termination of all associated accounts.
