Privacy Policy
- Why we ask you to create an account
-
VariantValidator is an Open Source project exclusively funded by grant income and generous contributions from
the University of Manchester (UK) and the University of Leicester (UK). In order to apply for external funding
and to retain funding from our host institutions we must demonstrate the wider impact of our software throughout
the global genomics community. By providing us with some basic information, you are helping us to demonstrate
the need for the software and will help us to build a convincing case which will enable the continued
maintenance and future development of this community driven resource.
- Your data
-
We will not share any personal data with external organisations. We may use data that you have submitted to
build a profile of our users. However, any such profiles will not include any identifiable data e.g. user names
or email addresses.
- Why do I need to provide an email address
-
We require an email address to validate your account, i.e. to ensure that the requested account has
originated from a genuine email address. Our batch services require an email address so that data can be
returned to you, therefore by creating and verifying your account, we can ensure that your data will only ever
be returned to you. We will only contact you directly if we receive a direct query from you, or via automated
responses generated by our batch tools. For any further information or to ask for additional information,
please contact us on admin@variantvalidator.org or via our
web form.
