Our Data Policy

Registered Users

User data on UseGalaxy.org.au (i.e. datasets, histories) will be available for a minimum of 1 year (52 weeks) as long as they are not deleted by the user. Once marked as deleted the datasets will be permanently removed within 5 days. If the user "purges" the dataset in the Galaxy, it will be removed immediately, permanently.

Registered users are allocated a 100GB disk quota to begin with. Registered users with an Australian research institute are allocated 600GB.

An extended quota can be requested for a limited time period in special cases.

Unregistered Users

Processed data will only be accessible during one browser session, using a cookie to identify your data. This cookie is not used for any other purposes (e.g. tracking or analytics.)

If UseGalaxy.org.au service is not accessed for 5 days, those datasets will be permanently deleted.
