General Scope

This policy covers personally identifiable information collected or stored by the Organisation on its servers in relation to the Projects and their communities. Consistent with its Data Retention Policy, the Foundation collects and retains the least amount of personally identifiable information needed to fulfill the Projects' operational needs.

The public and collaborative nature of the projects

All Projects on NASWebsite.com are collaboratively developed by its users using the MediaWiki software. All contributions made to a Project, and all publicly available information about those contributions, are irrevocably licensed and may be freely copied, quoted, reused and adapted by third parties with few restrictions.

User accounts and authorship

The Organization requires all editors to register with a project using a valid email address (which must have been validated). No one can edit without logging in with a username. Users select a password, which is confidential and used to verify the integrity of their account. Except insofar as it may be required by law, no person should disclose, or knowingly expose, either user passwords and/or cookies generated to identify a user. Once created, user accounts will not be removed except if used for posting SPAM. It may be possible for a username to be changed, depending on the policies of individual projects. The Organization does not guarantee that a username will be changed on request.
