Analytics
Website analytic tools are the corporate services that measures the effectiveness and efficiency of the Climate Farm Demo websites, by providing information to the website administrators, and to project Consortium about how end-users use the project website, how often, for how long, which webpages and functionalities are most frequently visited, etc.
Information collected about the user engagement, and provided to the website administrators and project Consortium, are anonymous, meaning that information about the users like: time of visit, duration of visit, pages visited, etc., are not connected with user names, surnames, email addresses and other personal data.
IP address and device ID
When you access a Climate Farm Demo website, representatives of the project Consortium receive as an essential technical requirement the Internet Protocol address (IP address) or the device ID of the device used to access the website.
Without this information, you will not be able to establish a technical connection between your devices and the server infrastructure maintained by the website administrators and therefore will not be able to access the Climate Farm Demo website.
The Climate Farm Demo project only keeps this information for the time necessary to fulfill the request, namely for the duration of the browsing session. In addition, IP addresses and device IDs might be saved for one year or longer in the log files, for security or other purposes.

Safeguarding information
To ensure that website and online content repository data remain safe, everything is hosted at BioSense Institute owned Data Center. As most others, BioSense Data Center has backup power supply in case of electricity power cuts supported by UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and power aggregates,fire protection system and protected physical access to the server space, accessible only by authorized BioSense Institute employees. Virtual access to the database and servers is possible only via SSH client (Secure Shell) network communication protocol that enables two computers to communicate. Access is possible only from specific web addresses while authentication is done by SSH keys.
Communication between web browser and servers for the website domain is done exclusively by HTTPS protocols (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure), with Let’s Encrypt TLS (Transport Layer Security) Certificate. TLS is an authentication and security protocol widely implemented in browsers and Web servers, while Let’s Encript is a free, open certificate authority provided by ISRG (Internet Security Research Group).
Regarding users login to Climate Farm Demo website’s Backoffice, it will be possible only for predefined user roles. List of people filling these roles will be registered by the website administrators (BIOS) and their credentials will be shared in a secure way. To prevent unregistered and unwelcome users or bots to enter websites Backoffice, LLAR (Limit Login Attempts Reloaded) will be used as this system blocks unregistered users from multiple attempts to break into project admin pages. Since hackers and spammers are mostly targeting blog pages for their attacks, we are using Akismet Anti-Spam plugin for stopping them before they can take any unwanted action.
The Climate Farm Demo project will keep the personal data of the users for the period necessary for the accomplishment of the purposes for which they were collected.
