Data types

The different types of data stored and processed on the server are: Image files, location data, documents, input values, automatically generated logs of modification and management operations, data for authentication and authorization of users. Technically necessary cookies are stored on the user's terminal device, which contain the user's authenticity and authorizations. No tracking data is stored.

Retention time

Project-related data is stored indefinitely. The user explicitly agrees to this when signing up to participate in a project. Reason: The integrity of the project data can only be guaranteed if all data is retained indefinitely or at least until the end of the project.

Deleting data is only possible by deleting the entire project. This can only be requested for valid reasons and must be initiated by the data protection officer.

Data visibility

The project-related data is visible to all participants in the project. The location data is alienated for users with low access authorization, i.e. displayed at offset locations or not at all.

Project

A project involves the observation of a specific area over a period of time. A project can be created by anyone. He becomes the first project participant after verification of his email address and gets the high access level 700. With this he can give access levels to other users who create project information (area, locations, observed species, etc.). In the newly created project, only a maximum of 20 elements, typically images, can be uploaded for the time being. This quota can be changed only by the administrator of the portal.

Project members

Anyone can become a project participant who registers and verifies that they can receive an email at the specified address. With the registration he receives the lowest access level 100, with which only general information can be retrieved. Project participants with appropriate authorization can change the access level of the new participant.
