DMP textProject data are stored in Vesta Online cloud projects owned by the account that created them. The owner shares a project read-only with invited recipients. When a share link is issued, anyone possessing that link can open the shared project without signing in; the owner can revoke links, and links currently do not expire automatically. The optional Advisor runs on Amazon Bedrock and receives the user's question with dataset and variable names. Data visibility is off by default; when a user turns it on, the Advisor also receives summary statistics and analysis results and can look up values for specific places, but not geometry coordinates, file paths or the project file.
