Target 9.4 Upgrade all industries and infrastructures for sustainability: Since Nextcloud can be hosted on-premises, you can tailor it to your needs and host it on your own server using sustainable energy sources. We also continuously work to make the software use as little energy as possible. Target 9.5 Enhance research and upgrade industrial technologies: We are building forward-thinking open technologies accessible to anyone. This ranges from basic needs applications like file sync & sharing, voice & video calls, and extends to open source AI integrations. Target 9.b Support domestic technology development and industrial diversification: Nextcloud can be downloaded, hosted, used, shared, and modified by anyone anywhere and can thus help anyone from private people, small organizations, up to startups and big enterprises to thrive.

PII data is collected and stored but NOT distributed.
Privacy is extremely important to us, and we do not share any individual information with anybody without permission. We implore the following mechanisms: - Encryption: https://nextcloud.com/encryption/ - Security and authentication: https://nextcloud.com/secure/ - Security advisories and bug bounty program: https://nextcloud.com/security/ - Compliance with data regulations: https://nextcloud.com/compliance/ - Regular software updates & patch management: https://nextcloud.com/changelog/ Nextcloud implements a privacy-focused approach with granular control over data visibility and sharing. The system follows data minimization principles by setting conservative default scopes and providing users with fine-grained control over who can access their personal information. The comprehensive deletion and export mechanisms support GDPR compliance requirements for data portability and the right to erasure.
Content is collected stored and distributed.
There are extensive sharing permissions within Nextcloud: https://nextcloud.com/features/#permissions Currently, Nextcloud does not have a system to block content or report it to the admin, as it is a solution focused on private syncing and sharing. If there is any inappropriate or illegal content hosted using Nextcloud, it is always better to report it directly to the provider of the underlying infrastructure, in this case, the hosting or service provider. If End-to-End-Encryption is used, the content is not machine-readable in its original form and thus can not be automatically filtered. If wanted, external 3rd party tools for content filtering or scanning could be connected either with the filesystem or on a network level.
Yes
We have a Code of Conduct that is enforced in online as well as offline spaces at https://nextcloud.com/contribute/code-of-conduct/. We also have a conduct team that can be contacted as a group or individually.
