PMP – Privacy Notice – v3

Description of the Performance Measurement Platform (PMP) service

The Performance Measurement Platform (PMP) consists of low-cost hardware nodes with pre-installed perfSONAR software. The nodes are performing regular measurements towards GÉANT measurement points located in the core of the network. The central components that manage the platform elements, gather, store and represent the performance data, are operated and maintained by the GÉANT Project. Small nodes users can shape the predefined setup and configure additional measurements to their needs and get more familiar with the platform.

We are committed to privacy and security and we are proud that the PMP service is designed in line with data protection principles, in particular with data minimalisation principle.

To view the general Privacy Notice for GÉANT, please visit the GÉANT website.

Why We Process Personal Data

We use your personal data:

• If you are visiting any of several public web sites (e.g. perfSONAR nodes and MaDDash) where we collect normal web server logs, i.e. timestamp of access, IP address which requested the page, the page being requested, the HTML result code, etc. The data collected is for the purpose of troubleshooting and debugging potential problems with the PMP infrastructure and therefore the service has a legitimate interest in processing this information.
• If you are entrusted with nodes as administrator: your name, e-mail address, phone number as well as your signature on the lending equipment paper form – for the purposes of our legitimate interests such as:
  1. Enable us to carry out specific functions for which we are responsible such as operating the corresponding infrastructure and components which includes the management of incidents;
  2. Provide support to Small Nodes visitors (users)/administrator;
  3. Get a proof that GÉANT lent some equipment to this organisation/person whose personal data are collected.

Who Do We Share Data With?
