Will my participation be kept confidential?

Yes - the data you provide will be kept confidential at all times and mind2Life.com is registered with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) to hold such data confidentially. Your information will be solely used for the research and for that purpose alone. The raw data will be retained for the duration of the study (12 months) and will be securely destroyed thereafter. However, there may be a follow-up study and you may be contacted if you’re in connection to this later. Data will only be accessible to the researcher and supervisor.

Any data you may provide will be kept secure on an encrypted drive. Your information may be subject to review for monitoring and audit purposes, by individuals from Bournemouth University and/or regulators who will also treat your data in confidence.
