AWS provides [industry-standard security protections](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/security/), including infrastructure safeguards, encryption capabilities, and compliance certifications, which support the secure operation of the platform. PennPRS is intended for analyzing GWAS summary statistics. Users must not upload individual-level data, identifiable information, or any data that they are not authorized to use and share. To further protect user data and minimize retention, all uploaded files will be permanently deleted after 14 days. *** To ensure that users are aware of and consent to the data security agreement, we provide an informed consent prompt which appears when a user clicks the “Upload Data” option:
“I confirm that the data I am uploading consist only of GWAS summary statistics, do not include individual-level or identifiable information, and that I have the appropriate authorization to use and upload these data. I acknowledge and accept the data security and privacy terms described above and required by the Amazon Web Services (AWS) [https://pennprs.gitbook.io/pennprs/data-security].”
