Grant access to researchers (“you”), community groups (“you”) and other entities (“you”) determined by us to the Polaris Observatory data.

By signing up to access the Observatory, you do not have to be an author or otherwise involved with our publications in order to view the data.

Other than for contact with authors and/or collaborators and inclusion in publications, the data is not used for any purpose within or outside of the Foundation.
