Website operation and security
ASNasedb is operated by UCT Prague and hosted on infrastructure provided by CERIT-SC, the Masaryk University component of e-INFRA CZ. Masaryk University may process your IP address and basic request and log information as necessary to provide and secure that infrastructure. The legal basis for processing under UCT Prague's control is Article 6(1)(e) GDPR (performance of its public scientific and research tasks). Authorised UCT Prague and CERIT-SC personnel may access these data when necessary. Logs are kept only as required by applicable operational, security and legal rules and are then deleted.
BLAST queries
BLAST queries are processed on our infrastructure and are not sent to external analysis services. Query sequences are not intentionally logged, and temporary files are deleted after processing. Do not submit personal data, including identifiable human genetic or health data.
Submitting an entry
If you submit an entry, we process the name, email address, affiliation and ORCID iD you provide in order to verify the submission and record the provenance of curated data, under Article 6(1)(e) GDPR. The form is hosted for us by Tally BV (Ghent, Belgium) as our processor, with responses stored in the European Union; Tally is a separate website with its own privacy policy and cookies. Records are kept for as long as the entry remains in the database.
Anonymous usage statistics
Simple Analytics provides privacy-focused usage statistics without cookies, browser storage or fingerprinting. It records page views and general non-identifying usage metrics. It states that IP addresses are immediately discarded and not stored. ASNasedb does not use cookies or browser storage. On every page, including search and BLAST, Simple Analytics receives only the page address and general non-identifying page metadata. It never receives anything you type: search terms, submitted sequences, selected BLAST parameters, results and other user interactions are not sent to Simple Analytics. Any search term carried in a page address is discarded in your browser before the page view is sent.
Correspondence
If you contact us, UCT Prague and its email and security service providers process your message only to deliver, secure and deal with your inquiry, under Article 6(1)(e) GDPR or, for data-protection requests, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Messages are kept only as long as needed or required by applicable UCT Prague records-management or legal rules.
Your rights
You may request access, correction, deletion or restriction, or object to processing where applicable, using the contacts above. You may also complain to the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection.
