<h2>Rules and Policies</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Run ".PROJECT." only on authorized computers</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Run ".PROJECT." 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 projects such as ".PROJECT.".
|
|
|
|
<h3>How ".PROJECT." will use your computer</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When you run ".PROJECT." 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 ".PROJECT.", and when it uses them.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The work done by your computer contributes
|
|
to the academic nonprofit research being performed by ".PROJECT.".
|
|
The current research is described <a href=research.html>here</a>.
|
|
The application programs may change from time to time.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Privacy policy</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Your account on ".PROJECT." is identified by a name that you choose.
|
|
This name may be shown on the ".PROJECT." web site,
|
|
along with a summary of the work your computer has done
|
|
for ".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 ".PROJECT.",
|
|
information about your computer (such as its processor type,
|
|
amount of memory, etc.) will be recorded by ".PROJECT." and used
|
|
to decide what type of work to assign to your computer.
|
|
This information will also be shown on ".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 ".PROJECT.", you must give an address
|
|
where you receive email.
|
|
This address will not be shown on the ".PROJECT." web site
|
|
or shared with organizations.
|
|
".PROJECT." may send you periodic newsletters;
|
|
however, you can choose not to be sent these at any time.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Is it safe to run ".PROJECT."?</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.
|
|
".PROJECT." has made efforts to minimize these risks.
|
|
We have tested our applications carefully.
|
|
Our servers are behind a firewall and are configured for high security.
|
|
To ensure the safety of program downloads,
|
|
all executable files are digitally signed on
|
|
a secure computer not connected to the Internet.
|
|
<p>
|
|
".PROJECT." was developed at the University of California at Berkeley,
|
|
by members of the SETI@home project.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Liability</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
".PROJECT." assumes 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 ".PROJECT.".
|
|
|
|
<h3>Other BOINC projects</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Other projects use the same platform, BOINC, as ".PROJECT.".
|
|
You may want to consider participating in one or more of these projects.
|
|
By doing so, your computer will do useful work even when
|
|
".PROJECT." has no work available for it.
|
|
<p>
|
|
These other projects are not associated with ".PROJECT.",
|
|
and we cannot vouch for their security practices
|
|
or the nature of their research.
|
|
Join them at your own risk.
