Account Information

Any personal information you enter when you create an account will be stored on our servers for the lifetime of your account. The information will only be accessible by Bradford Robotic Telescope team members. Some of your information may also be made available to Bradford University for the purposes of sending you information by email about degree programmes and open days, if you request this during your account signup. Your account information will not be given to any other parties.

Account Expiry, Suspension and Termination

In order to comply with the Data Protection Act, and to keep the size of our database reasonable, inactive accounts will be subject to deletion. Your account will be declared inactive if you do not log in to it for 15 months, or 15 months after the last data-ready email was sent to you.

If we believe you or somebody using your account is abusing the system in any way, we may suspend or terminate your account without warning.

Image Copyright

Images taken with the Bradford Robotic Telescope Project are the property of the Bradford Robotic Telescope Project. Copyright remains with the Bradford Robotic Telescope Project. Anyone may re-publish Bradford Robotic Telescope images on other web sites or in print providing that a reasonable copyright notice attributing the image to the Bradford Robotic Telescope is on the image or very close to it.

Image Deletion

Although we have not fully decided when and how to do this yet, we plan to delete or store off-site old images. When this does start happening it will be purely because of practical reasons such as disk space and bandwidth usage. We do not intend to remove images before they have been made publically available for some time.
