OpenELIS Privacy Policy
OpenELIS is an open-source project stewarded by a public university. As a public global good and university, we have a very permissive (non) privacy policy.

Please assume that everything you contribute intentionally to OpenELIS is public. This includes emails on public lists, wikis, online discussions of all sorts, and software or documentation that you post to this website.

Because we follow an academic model that expects mutual personal respect, disclosure of interests, and openness of expression, even your OpenELIS profile is public information. There will be cases where you are invited to share private information for various purposes and denote that information as such. In those cases, we commit to only disclosing that information without your permission upon receipt of a valid subpoena and following notice from OpenELIS to you.

For our forums, you can log in with your Google account, we only ever use this for authentication on our forums and do not use any data from your google account in any other way. Any emails you get will be generated by our system according to your set preferences.

Although what you disclose here is public, we are all limited by copyright and patent law in how we may use your contributions. Therefore, OpenELIS only accepts voluntary contributions of software and documentation that are expressly licensed to OpenELIS under an approved open-source license.

OpenELIS welcomes your questions or comments regarding this Privacy Policy. Send them to digit@uw.edu.
