Locations in USA, Canada and UK

In case you intend to analyse our data via on-site use at one of our locations in USA, Canada or UK please contact the FDZ at an early stage to agree upon the general conditions. Please note that the data have to undergo additional anonymization procedures if they are to be used in USA, Canada or UK, due to data protection regulations.

Alternating between locations in Germany / France and USA / Canada / UK in the course of the project is not possible without additional anonymization measures. During research visits in USA, Canada or UK of less than 9 months in the course of the project it is not possible to access the data via on-site use at one of our locations in USA, Canada and UK because the additional anonymization would cause disproportionate effort. In these cases it is still possible to analyse the data in USA, Canada or UK by using our online application JoSuA.

Once the data of a project have been further anonymized, it is not possible to switch back to the original version after switching to on-site locations in Germany or France.
