Your data management plans and other contributions

DMPonline.be is hosted at BELNET, which holds/stores your data management plans on your behalf on secure servers in Belgium. However, the plans are your property and responsibility.

At any point in time, you can decide to update or delete (parts of) your information stored by DMPonline.be. If you decide you need to share this information in other contexts, you can export it in a number of formats. We may collect aggregated metadata information from data management plans, but will not directly access, make use of, publish or in any way share your plans with anyone else without your permission.
