Appearance/visibility of personal data

The mentioned personal data are categorized in three groups: 

  • obligatory and visible personal data(bold and marked with *): these data are obligatory to be given and are able to be seen by all the users of the website. The specific purpose of this data type is the creation and presentation of statistics of the users (through an interactive map) to all the users of the website.
  • obligatory and non-visible personal data(marked with *): these data are obligatory to be given for the finalization of the registration, but visible for the other users only by your choice - except your password, because this field remains non-visible and needs to be filled out in order to a successful registration
  • voluntary personal data(bold): these data are voluntary to be given during the registration.

Having been initially registered on their profile, this information is accessible to users themselves, to the University of Miskolc  (with the exception of the obligatory and visible personal data, see above) and can be released individually and voluntarily for other registered users. However, networking may be more effective if you fill in as many personal details as you are a registered person and you make them visible to other users.

The personal data related to the organizations (name and e-mail address of the contact person, as well as the phone number, optionally) is treated in line with the same principles as the data of the natural person users.

It is not possible to access to your data out of the website as well as to find your data via an Internet search engine.
A search engine, solely within the website will enable you to look for other users and have them find you. You can do searches for all data, depending on what the other users have determined to be visible.

It is also possible for all users to join existing network groups (communities) or set up their own network groups. Every group has moderator(s) up to whom it is to decide whether the group is public or is only accessible to certain people who have been invited. 
Please note: once a group has been designated public by the moderator, contributions can be read by all registered users and can be seen who made the contribution.
