The life-science Community Social Network
What personal data we collect and why
When visitors register for a membership, they are asked to provide certain personal data to administer their membership. By that they are automatically registered for the life-science Community social network too and the “Name” field in general is public and visible for all members of the site. To join the life-science Community no more personal data is mandatory.
As social networks heavily rely on user-provided data we invite the members to give an insight in their professional way, activities, experiences, interests etc.. All information is delivered by themselves and they control whether the information can be published to all visitors, members or only to friends. User information provided during account registration or later can be modified or removed on the Profile > Settings panel at any time. Every member has the option to deactivate the entire life-science Community social network account and to participate only the other parts of the membership like Partner-Program, access to exclusive content, invitation to events. Site administrators can read and edit all profile data for all users.
Activities
The activity stream of the life-science Community social network records certain member actions, in the form of “activity” data. Activity includes updates and comments posted directly to the activity stream, as well as descriptions of other actions performed while using the site, such as new friendships, newly joined groups, and profile updates. The content of activity items obey the same privacy rules as the contexts in which the activity items are created. For example, activity updates created in a user’s profile is publicly visible, while activity items generated in a private group are visible only to members of that group. Site administrators can view all activity items, regardless of context. Every member controls on the Profile > Settings panel at any time whether activities are published to other members, to friends only or to unpublish them.
Activity items may be deleted at any time by users who created them. Site administrators can edit all activity items.
Messages
The content of private messages is visible only to the sender and the recipients of the message. With the exception of site administrators, who can read all private messages, private message content is never visible to other users or site visitors. Site administrators may delete the content of any message.
