What data we collect

When you join and participate in Science United, we collect and store two types of data:

• Account information: your email address and password, your science-area preferences, your computing preferences, and your message-board posts. You supply these items when you create an account and when you interact with the web site.
• Computer information: data about the computers that run BOINC using your Science United account. This includes descriptions of the hardware (CPU type, memory and disk size. etc.) and software (OS type and version). This information is reported to Science United by the BOINC client.
