Your Rights as a Participant, Data Privacy and Confidentiality
WHAT happens with my data?
According to the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), health data are classified as “special categories of personal data” and are subject to strict data protection. We therefore only process health data with your express consent. The data will be treated confidentially and will be processed in a pseudonymized way, meaning your data will be identifiable by a number only (e.g. Participant No. 101222), and your name and contract details will be kept separate to any study data we collect.
REGULATION
We comply with applicable local and international data protection laws.
VOLUNTARY
Your participation in the study is voluntary. You can discontinue your participation in the study at any time.
UNIDENTIFIABLE
Your personal contact data will never be linked to the web-based questionnaires and/or medical information.
CONFIDENTIAL
Your name and contact information will not be passed on to third parties and will be deleted after completion of the study. However, your signed consent must be kept for 10 years if not otherwise defined by revised retention obligations.
