TREATMENT OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The Researcher will ask you for some personal data, such as name, sex, date of birth and any other data. This information is important for the successful execution of the study. All personal data acquired in the execution of this study will be processed in full compliance with the legislation provided for by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the subject of "Protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data", which entered into force on 25 May 2018, and by Legislative Decree. 06/30/2003 n. 196 - Code regarding personal data, although not repealed by the entry into force of the aforementioned European regulation. Pursuant to this legislation, the Data Controller (DPO) of your personal data will remain the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. 

Nature of the data and methods of treatment 

All your personal information, collected during this study, are confidential and will be treated in compliance with the aforementioned current legislation. The data you provide will be made non-identifiable, ie the collected material will be anonymized and not linked to the personal identity of the participants in the Study. As specified above, only the research manager will have access to your name, to which an identification code is associated. The anonymized material will be analyzed and processed for scientific research purposes only by the staff responsible for carrying out the Study. The data, also processed electronically, may be used in a strictly anonymous form through meetings, conferences and scientific publications; in any case, your name or any other detail suitable for identifying you will not be disclosed as the data may be presented exclusively in aggregate form or in a manner that does not make the subjects participating in the study identifiable. Data processing does not include an automated decision-making process, including profiling. Adequate security measures will be used in order to ensure the protection, security, integrity and accessibility of personal data. A file will be kept containing the combinations between the unique anonymous code and the participant's identification data for the sole purpose of being able to trace the results of each participant in the event that a request is made (even later) to be informed about the results of their tests. The data will be sent securely through a Secure Socket Layer (SSL), that is a standard security technology that establishes an encrypted connection between a web server and a browser, ensuring that all data are stored in an integral manner and with the utmost confidentiality. All researchers will have access to the collected data once they have been anonymized. Personal data will be kept only for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were collected or for any other legitimate purpose connected to them and in any case for a minimum period of 5 years (pursuant to Article 17 of the Code of Ethics of Italian psychologists). Personal data that are no longer necessary, or for which there is no longer a legal prerequisite for theyir conservation, will be irreversibly anonymised or securely destroyed.
