Disclaimer

Contributors register on the Epidemiology – France portal and describe their studies or databases on a voluntary basis under their own responsibility. They may modify their personal information or the outline form for their database at any time, or ask for it to be withdrawn from the portal's catalog.

Contributors must comply with the architecture of the outline form and complete all compulsory fields; they must submit a request to the Portal Administrator to have their forms published in the Portal’s catalog.

Publication is dependent on controls conducted by the Portal Administrator:

 

  • control of consistency concerning the information describing the database; 
  • control of the compatibility of the field covered by the database with the Portal's scope (scope being health and epidemiological or related approaches);
  • control of compliance with legal requirements (declaration of the database to the CNIL (French data protection body) and, if applicable, Ethics Committee authorization number in the event of an interventional protocol).

 

Inserm cannot guarantee the accuracy, precision or exhaustive nature of the information available on the site to its visitors. Listing of a database in the Portal in no way constitutes a label of quality awarded by Inserm. Inserm declines all responsibility for the way the information available on the site is used by visitors to the site. In addition, Inserm makes no commitment relative to the websites that can be accessed from its own site and, in particular, accepts no responsibility for their content. Furthermore, any risks related to the use of these websites are the full responsibility of the internet user, particularly those linked to the existence of viruses or any other destructive parasites.

The information presented on the website is non-contractual in nature and may be modified or removed from the portal’s catalog at any time on the initiative of contributors or the Portal administrator.
