CHAMPIONS privacy notice
One of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document describes the types of information that are collected and recorded by the project, how we use them, and how to get in touch if you need to.
This Privacy Policy applies only to our website. It does not apply to any information collected offline or via channels other than this website.
What data do we collect?
We collect anonymous data about website usage in log files, including visitors’ internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and their path through the site. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable and are only collected so we can analyse the use of the site.
We collect the following personal data on this website if you choose to give it to us:
· Your name and email address
· The photos and/or text you share with us on ‘Our stories’
The lawful basis that is used to process this personal data is ‘Public task’. We do not collect special category data on the forum.
We present some content on this site that research participants have shared with us, with their knowledge and consent. It is about their personal experience but does not identify them. The lawful basis that is used to process their personal data is ‘Public task’, and for special category data (such as ethnicity or age) it is ‘Research purposes’. All participants are given this information verbally and via the Participant Information Sheets before they consent to taking part. If you or any research participants want to follow up on this, please contact your researcher or email champions@ucl.ac.uk.
How do we collect your data?
We collect your name and email address that you consent to provide to us by completing an online form signing up to our mailing list.
We collect your name and email address if you give it to us when you send us text or photos for ‘Our stories’, even if this content is not made public. However, you can comment anonymously if you wish, without using a logon and password.
How will we use your data?
Your name and email address is used only for the purpose of sending you newsletters and other project updates. The email service has an ‘unsubscribe’ option and you can remove your address from the mailing list at any time, or one of the team can do this for you if you email champions@ucl.ac.uk
We are collecting comments on the forum as a source of research data and will make live those comments which don’t identify individuals.
How do we store your data?
We store your name and email address in an encrypted folder stored on UCL’s Data Safe Haven, which meets GDPR and ISO27001 security standards. We also store your email address in an account on our bulk email provider, Sendinblue, which is GDPR compliant.
We will keep this data until the project has been delivered in May 2022. Once this time period has expired, we will delete your data.
Data is not transferred out of the UK or EEA.
Marketing
We do not share the personal data you have given us with any other organisation.
Children's information
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.
The Champions Project does not knowingly collect any identifying information from children under the age of 13, online. If you think that your child has provided this kind of information to us, please contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
