1. Who We Are
This platform is developed and operated within the RePoSUDOE project, a collaborative research initiative funded by the Interreg SUDOE Programme (European Regional Development Fund). Partner institutions include USC, MDUSE, IPG, UDC, CITIC, CNRS, CBMN, SPSP, and CSG.
2. Data We Process
When you use this platform, the following data may be processed:
- Uploaded files: Protein structures (.pdb) and ligand files (.mol) submitted for docking or molecular dynamics simulations.
- Experiment results: Computed outputs (docking scores, trajectory data, analysis reports) associated with your session.
- Usage logs: Server-side logs including request timestamps and IP addresses, retained for security and operational purposes.
- Account credentials: If you register an account, your email address and hashed password are stored securely.
3. Purpose of Processing
Uploaded files and results are processed exclusively to perform the requested computational analysis (molecular docking and/or molecular dynamics simulation). Data is not used for any commercial purpose, sold to third parties, or shared outside the project consortium.
4. Data Retention
Experiment data is retained on the server for the duration necessary to complete the analysis and allow result download. Users may delete their experiments at any time via the Dashboard. Server logs are retained for a maximum of 90 days.
5. Legal Basis (GDPR)
Processing is carried out on the basis of legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) for the provision of the research service, and consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) for account registration. Users located in the European Economic Area have the right to access, rectify, erase, and port their personal data.
6. Security
We implement technical and organisational measures to protect uploaded data and account information. Uploaded molecular files are stored in isolated per-experiment directories and are not publicly accessible.
7. Contact
For any privacy-related request or inquiry, please contact the RePoSUDOE project team through the official project channels at the partner institutions listed above.
8. DuckingVR Application (Meta Quest)
DuckingVR is the virtual reality companion application for the MMDR platform, available on the Meta Quest store. The following applies specifically to its use:
- Demo experiments: The app ships with preloaded demonstration experiments that contain no personal data and require no account or login.
- User experiments: To access experiments generated on the MMDR platform, a companion desktop application (PC server) is required. This application authenticates the user with the same account credentials used on the web platform (email and hashed password) and downloads the selected experiment files to the user's local machine. No experiment data is transmitted to Meta or any third party.
- Local network only: Communication between the PC server and the Meta Quest headset takes place exclusively over the local network. No personal data or experiment results leave the user's local environment during a VR session.
- No additional data collection: The VR application does not collect, store, or transmit any data beyond what is already described in sections 2–6 of this policy.
Meta's own privacy practices are governed by Meta's Privacy Policy, available at meta.com/privacy. We do not control data collected by the Meta Quest platform or store.
