Trust Centre
Trust, written down
What an institution reads before it trusts a platform with research data: where that data rests, who may act on it, how a result can be checked, and the agreements that bind us. Five parts, as on our pentagram; choose one on the sigil or read on.
Where data rests
Earth. The ground everything stands on: the servers, the countries and the services we rely on.
Where data livesEuropean infrastructure, encryption, isolation per institution, and sandboxes with no network.OpenSpecial-category dataArticle 9 data only under a schedule an administrator approves, for named categories and a set period.OpenSub-processorsEach service the platform relies on, and the country where it processes data.Open
Personal data, in and out
Water. What we collect, what we process on your behalf, and how all of it leaves with you.

Who may act
Air. People and their roles, the decisions that wait for a second person, and an AI that only drafts.
Roles and accessFourteen research roles, supervisor approval before anyone touches data, read or editor access per area.OpenApprovalsPublishing, deleting, sharing and deploying wait for a second person, and both are recorded.OpenEU AI Act statementHow the assistants are classified and overseen, and why what they write stays a draft.Open
Results that hold
Fire. Analysis transforms data; each transformation leaves a record that can be checked and repeated.
Every result traceableA kept run carries its program, data version, settings and the version of every library.OpenThe record of what happenedPermission decisions, administrative acts and approvals, with who and when.OpenPublished reproductionsStudies rerun on the platform from their public data, citing the kept runs behind every figure.Open
What binds us
Quintessence. The agreements in their own words, and the people who answer for them.
