Policies

Our policies form an integrated whole around the Terms and Conditions of Access. They lay down both what we expect from Users, and how we will carry out the commitments we make to them in the Terms and Conditions. In addition, access to EIDF also falls within the remit of the Computing Regulations and Security Policy of the University of Edinburgh and all users who sign up for an account agree to these conditions of access as well.

EIDF reserves the right to make changes to its policies. Proposed changes to EIDF policies must be addressed to the EPCC Director of Data Services. Such proposals may be evaluated by other EPCC staff as required by the type of change.
