Dear All, As of 01 July 2013, we will implement the EGI Grid Policy on the Handling of User-Level Job Accounting Data (https://documents.egi.eu/document/85) in the central EGI APEL accounting database.
The policy states: "the Accounting Data Centre (ADC) is responsible for deleting the copies of the individual accounting records in the central database, or for removing or anonymising personal identifying information, e.g. the CommonName or e-mail components of subject DNs, from these records, at the latest 18 months after receipt of the data in the ADC. Personal identifying information, e.g. the CommonName component, contained in aggregated data must be treated in the same way."
Therefore, from 01 July 2013, User DN information will be available to authorized clients from the EGI accounting portal (https://accounting.egi.eu/), only for a period of months in the past equal to the retention period defined by the policy (18 months).
Note: anonymous usage record summaries of all records from the beginning of time (2004) will be preserved, so enforcement of the policy will not cause any loss of accounting information, but personal information associated with it will be available for a limited time in the past (18 months).
As of 01 July 2013 clean-up of personal information in accounting records of the EGI APEL central database will be performed on a monthly basis.
Regards, The APEL Team
