This page describes how the '''Wiki for Sustainable IT''' processes personal data, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

== Data controller ==

'''INR – Institut du Numérique Responsable''', a French non-profit association (loi 1901)
* RNA: W173009044
* SIREN: 848096111
* Address: Université de La Rochelle, 23 avenue Albert Einstein, 17000 La Rochelle, France
* Contact: contact@institutnr.org
* Data Protection Officer (DPO): dpo@institutnr.org

== General principle ==

The wiki is designed to be read '''without an account, without cookies and without registration'''. Reading articles requires no personal data and involves no profiling.

== Audience measurement ==

The wiki uses '''Matomo''', an open-source analytics platform '''hosted on the INR's own servers''' (analytic.institutnr.org). No browsing data is passed to any third party, nor transferred outside the European Union.

Analytics are configured to meet the consent-exemption conditions defined by the French data protection authority (CNIL):

* '''no cookies are stored''' on your device (cookieless tracking enabled);
* your '''IP address is anonymised''' before any storage (last two octets masked);
* your browser's '''Do Not Track''' signal is honoured;
* user identifiers are anonymised;
* data is '''retained for at most 13 months''', then deleted automatically;
* data is used '''solely''' to produce aggregate traffic statistics, with no advertising, no cross-referencing with other processing, and no transfer to third parties.

This is why '''no cookie consent banner is displayed''': the wiki sets no cookies.

* '''Purpose''': measuring traffic and improving content
* '''Legal basis''': the INR's legitimate interest (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) in understanding how its documentary resource is used

== Contributor accounts ==

Accounts are not open to public registration: they are created by administrators for contributors within the INR community.

* '''Data processed''': chosen username, password (stored in hashed form), contribution history, display preferences
* '''Purpose''': enabling contribution to the wiki and attribution of changes
* '''Legal basis''': performance of the relationship between the INR and its contributors
* '''Retention''': for the lifetime of the account. Contribution history, which forms the editorial record of the wiki, is retained after an account is closed, in line with standard practice for encyclopedic projects

Edits to articles are '''public''' and linked to the username in page histories. Anonymous editing is not permitted: '''no contributor IP address is published''' in page histories.

The platform's email features are disabled: the wiki sends no messages and collects no email address for notification purposes.

== Technical logs ==

The server keeps connection logs for security and technical diagnostics, in line with statutory retention obligations. They are not used for behavioural analysis.

== Hosting ==

The wiki is hosted by '''OVH SAS''' (2 rue Kellermann, 59100 Roubaix, France), on servers located in France. No data is transferred outside the European Union.

== Your rights ==

Under Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and object to the processing of data concerning you, as well as the right to data portability.

To exercise these rights, write to the Data Protection Officer: '''dpo@institutnr.org'''

You may also lodge a complaint with the [https://www.cnil.fr CNIL], the French supervisory authority, or with the supervisory authority of your country of residence.

== Nature of the content ==

The '''Wiki for Sustainable IT''' is a collaborative documentary resource. Its articles are written and updated by contributors from the community of the Institut du Numérique Responsable (INR).

While the INR makes every effort to ensure that the information published is accurate and current, '''the content is provided for information and educational purposes''', without warranty of completeness or absence of error.

The definitions, methods and frameworks presented '''do not constitute a standard, legal advice, or tailored professional guidance'''.

In particular:
* the definitions offered do not replace official definitions set out in regulations or published standards (AFNOR, ISO, and the like);
* the methods described do not remove the need for an analysis suited to your own context;
* the regulatory references cited may have changed since an article was last updated.

For any decision committing your organisation, it is your responsibility to verify the information against official sources and, where appropriate, to consult a qualified professional.

== Limitation of liability ==

The INR accepts no liability for errors, omissions, or for the results that may be obtained from the use of the information published on this wiki.

Please report any significant error or omission to '''contact@institutnr.org''': correcting the content relies on feedback from its readers.

The wiki links to third-party sites over which the INR has no control, whether as to their content or their personal data practices. These links are provided for documentary purposes and imply no endorsement of their content. Visiting a third-party site is at your own risk and is subject to that site's terms.

== Intellectual property ==

Content written by the community is published under the [https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ Creative Commons Zero (public domain)] licence.

Trade marks, logos and names cited in articles, however, remain the property of their respective owners. Their mention for documentary purposes confers no right of use.

Digital commons

GGA: Created page with "'''Digital commons''' refers to a digital resource (software, content, data, infrastructure or knowledge) that is collectively managed by a community, under shared rules, and whose access and use remain open to all rather than reserved to a single exclusive owner. == Definition == A digital commons rests on three elements: * a shared '''resource''' (code, content, dataset, protocol...); * a '''community''' that produces, maintains and evolves it; * '''governance rules'..."

'''Digital commons''' refers to a digital resource (software, content, data, infrastructure or knowledge) that is collectively managed by a community, under shared rules, and whose access and use remain open to all rather than reserved to a single exclusive owner.

== Definition ==

A digital commons rests on three elements:
* a shared '''resource''' (code, content, dataset, protocol...);
* a '''community''' that produces, maintains and evolves it;
* '''governance rules''' defining rights of access, use and contribution.

This definition transposes to the digital world the notion of "commons" theorised for shared natural resources, notably by economist [[Elinor Ostrom]], winner of the 2009 "Nobel" Prize in Economics, who showed that shared resources can be managed sustainably without falling under either exclusive private property or sole state control.

== Origins ==

The notion of digital commons emerged in the 1990s-2000s with the rise of:
* '''free and open-source software''' (GNU GPL licenses, movement led by the Free Software Foundation);
* '''Creative Commons licenses''' (2001), which provide legal tools for sharing content;
* '''collaborative encyclopedias''' such as Wikipedia (2001), managed by its community of contributors.

== Characteristics ==

A digital commons is generally characterised by:
* an '''open license''' guaranteeing reuse (free/libre, Creative Commons, open source);
* '''shared governance''', often horizontal, among contributors;
* '''non-exclusive access''', without excessive financial or technical barriers;
* near-zero '''marginal copying cost''', specific to digital goods (unlike physical commons, a digital commons is not subject to rivalry of use).

== Examples ==

* '''Free/open-source software''': Linux, LibreOffice, Firefox
* '''Collaborative content''': Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap
* '''Open data''': data.gouv.fr, OpenFoodFacts
* '''Shared infrastructure''': internet protocols (TCP/IP, DNS), Web standards (W3C)
* '''Academic knowledge''': open archives (HAL, arXiv)

== Stakes and responsible digital practices ==

Digital commons play a central role in thinking about [[responsible digital|responsible digital practices]]:
* they foster '''sobriety''' by avoiding duplication of resources (pooling rather than multiplying equivalent proprietary tools);
* they strengthen the '''digital autonomy''' of organisations and territories (less dependency on a single vendor);
* they raise the question of '''economic sustainability''': who funds the maintenance of a resource freely accessible to all? (pooled funding models, foundations, public subsidies, corporate contributions);
* they raise questions of '''governance''': how to fairly involve volunteer contributors alongside institutional or commercial actors?
