Update Lungmap Privacy statement to match HCA (except for title mentioning lungmap) #1574

Closed NoopDog closed 2 years ago

frano-m commented 2 years ago

@theathorn would you mind please reviewing the below "draft" privacy statement for LungMAP?

The HCA privacy statement has some "HCA" / "Human Cell Atlas Data Portal" specific wording that I have converted over to "LungMAP" and "LungMAP Data Portal" e.g. The Human Cell Atlas Data Portal is an unincorporated collaboration of the University of California, Santa Cruz and the Broad Institute without separate legal personality (the “HCA Data Portal”). This service is operated by the University of California, Santa Cruz and the Broad Institute..

I have adjusted the title to: Privacy Notice for LungMAP Data Portal Public Website to mirror the HCA privacy statement. The current LungMAP privacy title is Privacy Notice for LungMAP Data Browser Public Website <-- note the Data Browser reference. Please let me know if this is ok?

And lastly, what is the best contact email for LungMAP?

Many thanks, Fran.
