Before the survey begins, I would like to inform you, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), about the collection and processing of your data.
1. Who is conducting the survey? Maya Ringelstein, a student on the Bachelor’s degree programme in Psychology at PFH Private University of Applied Sciences Göttingen, Weender Landstraße 3–7, 37073 Göttingen. Contact: maya.ringelstein@pfh.de Supervising examiner: Prof. Dr Markus Quirin.
2. Purpose of data collection: The data will be analysed exclusively for the purposes of my Bachelor’s thesis.
3. What data is being collected?
- Sociodemographic details (age, gender)
- Current mood survey
- Responses to two academic questionnaires
No data such as your name, contact details or IP address will be collected or stored. It is therefore not possible to trace the responses back to you personally.
4. Where will the data be processed? The data will be stored and processed on the password-protected LimeSurvey server of PFH Private University of Applied Sciences Göttingen in Germany. Data transmission is encrypted (HTTPS).
5. Who has access to the data? Only Maya Ringelstein, as the survey administrator, has access to the responses. The data is not passed on to third parties. The database is administered by PFH; PFH does not review the content of the responses.
6. When will the data be deleted? The raw data will be deleted once the analysis and assessment of the Bachelor’s thesis have been completed, but no later than six months after the survey was conducted.
7. Your Rights: Under the GDPR, you generally have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, and objection. Since your responses are collected anonymously, it is technically impossible to link an individual data record back to you. Consequently, the subsequent deletion of individual responses is not possible. You may discontinue the survey at any time without providing a reason; incomplete data records will not be included in the analysis.
8. Contact: If you have questions regarding the study or data protection, please contact us at: maya.ringelstein@pfh.de
