feat(landing-page): derive privacy-statement facts from the deployment config - #41
Conversation
…t config The landing page's privacy statement hardcodes "2 weeks" for workspace retention and "deleted when the session ends" for sessions. Both are TUM production's numbers. Mannheim runs WORKSPACE_TTL=12960000s (150 days) with ephemeralStorage=false, so its workspaces persist and are reaped 150 days after the last session - the page has been telling Mannheim users something untrue. Emits a `privacy` block into the landing page config, derived from the values that actually produce the behaviour rather than restated next to them: workspacePersistent landingPage.ephemeralStorage, inverted workspaceRetentionDays theia-workspace-garbage-collector.env.WORKSPACE_TTL sessionMaxMinutes appDefinitions.defaults.timeout sessionIdleMinutes appDefinitions.defaults.monitor.activityTracker.timeoutAfter The last two mirror the fallback chain in appdefinitions.yaml, where the operator reads them, so the page cannot disagree with the AppDefinition the sessions actually run under. Restating the figures in a second place is how a privacy statement quietly becomes false, which is the failure this avoids. landingPage.privacy.scientificUse is the one value that is a policy choice and not a derivation: it states that anonymised usage data may also be used for scientific research. Off by default, because it is a processing purpose and needs a legal basis, not a string change. Verified by rendering against the real environment values files on EduIDE-deployment main: tum-production gives 14 days / ephemeral / 1440 min, mannheim gives 150 days / persistent / 180 min.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe chart version changes to 2.2.0. New privacy values define controller and data-protection-officer details and scientific-use settings. The landing-page configuration emits these values and workspace and session figures derived from other chart settings. ChangesLanding-page privacy configuration

…onfigurable
The privacy page names TUM as data controller and TUM's data protection officer
in hardcoded text, on every installation. Any other university deploying EduIDE
publishes a statement pointing data subjects at the wrong institution, which is
worse than a missing contact - the reader has no way to exercise their rights.
Unlike the retention figures, these cannot be derived from anything: only the
operator knows who its controller is. So they are values, and their defaults are
deliberately obvious placeholders - "Example University", "Prof. Dr. Example
Person", privacy@example.edu. A statement that visibly has not been filled in is
recoverable; one that confidently names somebody else is not.
landingPage.privacy.controller.{organisation,representative,address,email}
landingPage.privacy.dataProtectionOfficer.{name,email}
The officer is separate from the controller because the GDPR requires a distinct
contact point, and address is optional because not every institution publishes
one.
EduIDE's own installations set the real TUM values in EduIDE-deployment, not
here, so the chart itself never carries them.

Extended this PR: the data controller and data protection officer are now values too. Sections 1 and 9 of the privacy page named TUM and TUM's DPO in hardcoded text, on every installation. Another university deploying EduIDE published a statement pointing its data subjects at TUM - someone exercising a GDPR right would write to an institution that holds nothing of theirs. Unlike the retention figures, these cannot be derived from anything: only the operator knows who its controller is. So they are values, and the defaults are deliberately obvious placeholders - One ordering detail worth catching before mergeThis chart still pins
That ordering is also what makes it safe: an environment on chart 2.1.5 keeps landing page 1.2.1 and its hardcoded TUM text, so there is no window in which a live installation renders "Example University". |

durations instead of using integer division; use fractional division or a
retention unit that represents the configured WORKSPACE_TTL accurately.
- Around line 103-104: Update the privacy session-limit values in the
landing-page configuration so they use the effective timeout and
activity-tracker timeout for each selectable app definition, falling back to the
existing defaults when an app does not specify a value. Account for app
definitions exposed through additionalApps by representing limits per selectable
app or enforcing identical limits across those apps.

Three review findings, all fair. Retention is emitted as seconds, not days. Helm's `div` is integer division, so a WORKSPACE_TTL that is not a whole number of days was rounded down and the page would claim a shorter retention than the deployment keeps - the one direction a retention claim must never be wrong in. 129600s now reaches the page intact instead of collapsing to "1 day". Session limits are the maximum across every selectable AppDefinition rather than the defaults alone. appdefinitions.yaml resolves each app's own `timeout` and `monitor.activityTracker.timeoutAfter` before falling back, so an app overriding either would have made the page understate how long a session can live. Nothing overrides them today, in the chart or in any environment; taking the worst case keeps the statement true if something ever does. Controller and officer now default to empty rather than to "Example University" and privacy@example.edu. A placeholder rendered inside "Verantwortlich im Sinne der DSGVO ist ..." reads as a statement of fact, and the address goes nowhere. The page detects the empty state and says no controller has been configured. The example values live in the values documentation instead, where they are plainly examples. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Why
The landing page's privacy statement hardcodes "2 weeks" for workspace retention and "deleted when the session ends" for sessions. Those are TUM production's numbers, and the page is deployed to every installation.
Mannheim is not TUM production:
WORKSPACE_TTL12960000s= 150 days1209600s= 14 daysephemeralStoragefalse- workspaces persisttrue- discarded with the sessionappDefinitions.defaults.timeoutSo the privacy page has been telling Mannheim users their workspace is gone in two weeks when it is kept for five months. That is a compliance problem, not a copy problem.
What this does
Emits a
privacyblock intowindow.theiaCloudConfig, derived from the values that produce the behaviour rather than restated beside them:The last two mirror the exact fallback chain in
appdefinitions.yaml, where the operator reads them, so the page cannot disagree with the AppDefinition the sessions actually run under.Restating these figures in a second place is precisely how a privacy statement goes stale, so the only thing an installation sets by hand is
landingPage.privacy.scientificUse- a policy choice, off by default, because "anonymised usage data may be used for research" is a processing purpose that needs a legal basis.Verification
Rendered against the real environment values files from EduIDE-deployment
main:helm lint,test-app-consistency.shandcheck-agents-md.shall pass; README regenerated with helm-docs v1.14.2.Not in this PR
The landing page must read the new keys before any of this is visible - it ignores them today and keeps rendering the current text, so this is safe to merge on its own. Mannheim then sets
scientificUsein EduIDE-deployment and pins the new chart version.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
