The purpose of handling the personal information

This research will handle personal data on the basis of it serving a public interest in the form of scientific research as per the General Data Protection Regulation.

Contents of register

The register will hold the submitted answers to the questions posed in the form.

Data transfer outside EU and ETA

Personal data will not be shared outside of the REPAIR research team, nor will it be transferred outside the European Economic Area.

Protection of the register

Personal data will be handled and stored so that only the persons who need them are able to access them. Data on computers will be protected with username and password. Physical copies of data will be stored in spaces accessible only by authorized persons. The research materials will be stored and handled in a form that does not contain personally identifiable information. Only the recordings of interviews and personal communications will contain personally identifiable information, and these will be stored separately from other materials such as interview transcripts. The transcripts will be edited to remove any identifying details.

Data will be handled for the duration of the research project. After the research has concluded, the data will be stored following the data protection measures described above. Storing is done to ensure the possibility for evaluating the validity of the research results and to ensure the possibility of further research that utilizes the data. The storage of research materials is based on GDPR article 5 paragraph 1 subparagraph b and e. The materials may be used for future scientific research that is compatible with the original purpose, in accordance with the participant’s consent and the public interest. Before any new use, the data controller will ensure that the research purpose aligns with the original intent.

Any new use will be notified to the registered persons unless the register holder can no longer identify the registered in the research materials. In addition, the notification may not be sent if this would be impossible, exorbitantly troublesome, or if it would prohibit or hinder significantly the achievement of research purposes (GDPR article 14 paragraph 5 subparagraph b).

Following GDPR the registered persons have the right to:
• Gain access to their personal data
• Correct their personal data
• Request the deletion of personal data and the right to be forgotten
• Restrict the handling of their personal data
• Move personal data from one system to another
