your username, personal name (optional), your E-Mail address, the documents that
you upload, annotation data that is added to them, and statistics derived from

however, use it to get in touch with specific important or urgent information, should
the need ever arise.

workspace. You may also invite other Recogito users to collaborate. However,
you and your collaborators must not make any copyrighted materials open to
the public.
- Documents are, by default, not open to the public. They will only be made
publicly available if the owner (or someone who has been granted 'admin' rights by
the owner) checks the 'public view' tickbox. This box should be ticked if, and only
if, the document is not under copyright, or if you are the copyright holder.
- If you are invited to work on a document in Recogito you are prohibited by
UK copyright law from copying the contents and re-posting elsewhere.
- Recogito and the Pelagios team assume no responsibility for misuse of this
service to open copyrighted materials to the public, and reserves the right to
immediately remove materials suspected of violating copyright laws and suspend
access during any account review. In the case of disputed materials, we will
follow UK copyright laws unless otherwise noted.
- You consent to have all your annotations released immediately into the public under
the Creative
Commons CC0 ('CC Zero') 1.0 Universal license.
By not complying with any of these terms and conditions, you forfeit your right to use
Recogito. The final judgement on any disputes will be made by the Pelagios Commons
Committee.
