The following rules and policy apply to BOINC.
|
||
|
|
BOINC-based projects may have additional rules and policies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Run BOINC only on authorized computers</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Run BOINC only on computers that you own,
|
||
|
|
or for which you have obtained the owner's permission.
|
||
|
|
Some companies and schools have policies that prohibit using their computers
|
||
|
|
for BOINC-based projects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>How BOINC will use your computer</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
When you run BOINC on your computer,
|
||
|
|
it will use part of the computer's CPU power, disk space, and network bandwidth.
|
||
|
|
You can control how much of your resources are used by BOINC,
|
||
|
|
and when it uses them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Privacy policy</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
To avoid computing while you're typing,
|
||
|
|
BOINC monitors mouse and keyboard and activity
|
||
|
|
(it does not record keystrokes).
|
||
|
|
This may trigger some anti-virus software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Your account on a BOINC-based project is identified by a name that you choose.
|
||
|
|
This name may be shown on the project's web site,
|
||
|
|
along with a summary of the work your computer has done for the project
|
||
|
|
and other BOINC projects.
|
||
|
|
If you want to be anonymous, choose a name that doesn't reveal your identity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If you participate in a BOINC-based project,
|
||
|
|
information about your computer
|
||
|
|
(such as its processor type, amount of memory, etc.)
|
||
|
|
will be recorded by the project and used to decide
|
||
|
|
what type of work to assign to your computer.
|
||
|
|
This information will also be shown on the project's web site.
|
||
|
|
Nothing that reveals your computer's location
|
||
|
|
(e.g. its domain name or network address) will be shown.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
To participate in a BOINC-based project,
|
||
|
|
you must give an address where you receive email.
|
||
|
|
This address will not be shown on the project's web site
|
||
|
|
or shared with organizations.
|
||
|
|
The project may send you periodic newsletters;
|
||
|
|
however, you can choose not to be sent these at any time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Is it safe to run BOINC?</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Any time you download a program through the Internet you are taking a chance:
|
||
|
|
the program might have dangerous errors,
|
||
|
|
or the download server might have been hacked.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Liability</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The BOINC project and the University of California
|
||
|
|
assume no liability for damage to your computer,
|
||
|
|
loss of data, or any other event or condition that may occur
|
||
|
|
as a result of participating in BOINC-based projects.
