Data privacy #111

Open gryphon-98 opened 1 year ago

Hi, I am wondering about the privacy of data submitted to this program. What is happening to the sequences when we submit them? Is any information about submitter, sequence or sequence name held for any length of time? How secure is the transfer of this data over the web? Is there a way to run this program completely independent of using a browser? Thanks for any insight.

Hi @gryphon-98 , the information stays wherever you run R and with that pavian. You need to use a browser to access the Shiny interface, but you could also run specfic functionality of the package in an R session locally if you wish so. Hope that helps.
