Privacy policy


The ImmGen Project and Harvard Medical School do not collect personal information about you when you visit this web site.

Of the information we learn from your visit, standard traffic analytic tools may record the following: the date and time from which you access the site, the IP address and city from which you linked to our site, the words you searched for. This information is used to assess which of the databrowsers are of most interest to users, identify system performance or problem areas, so generally to make the site more useful. For some ImmGen databrowsers that involve uploading of a geneset or larger data objects, we may keep these objects for a short time for quality control purposes; in some cases, and when consent has been explicitly given by the user, we may integrate these data into a growing reference pool that better powers future queries. Aggregated numbers of queries, users, and their geographical distribution are used for reporting to funding agencies.

This website contains linkouts to other sites. The ImmGen Project and Harvard Medical School are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.
