Privacy notice

How we will ensure that we are using your personal data fairly and transparently in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

How we will use your personal data

If you agree to participate, we will ask you to confirm your name and email address. We will use the information you provide as a basis for analysis in order to develop the study’s findings.

The nature of your personal data that we will be using

The categories of personal data that we will ask for are:

  • Name and contact email when completing the consent form.
  • Personal data such as your job title and email address.
  • Your views on the impact of new technology on jobs and skills.

Why our use of your personal data is lawful

Under the GDPR, we are required to have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. For the purpose of this project, the lawful basis is that processing is necessary to perform a task in the public interest (e.g. providing unbiased research evidence in an article).

Who will have access to your personal data?

Access to your personal data will be restricted to members of the University of Warwick School of Life Sciences (SLS) and the Institute for Employment Research (IER) project team for this research project. We will not report your name or anything that would make you personally identifiable in any outputs from the research and will use our best endeavours to ensure that data in any project outputs (e.g. reports and presentations) will not allow individuals or their organisations to be identified.

For the purposes of reporting, any identifying information will be removed to ensure confidentiality. Your interview data will be stored safely on a password-protected folder at the University of Warwick and will only be accessible by the research team. Contact details will not be stored in the same file as your interview data. The SLS and IER data storage procedures are fully compliant with GDPR. Aggregated research data will be made available (for example, in a published report or article) but they will not have access to any individual interview summaries, names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying details of participants. The collated research findings will be published in a research report and a journal article but none of your personal data will be included in the report.

Your right to withdraw consent

Participation in this study is entirely voluntary. Refusal to participate will not affect you in any way. If you do agree to participate, you may withdraw from the study at any time: there will not be any consequence of this. You have the right to withdraw from the study completely and decline any further contact by researchers after you withdraw. However, you will not be able to withdraw your responses (if they are used in any research reports) after the findings from the research have been published.

If you take part and inform us that you wish to withdraw from the research we will not use your response in the research and we will delete your responses.

How long we will keep your personal data?

We will retain your pseudonymised data for ten years in accordance with the University of Warwick retention requirements for research data. Your contact data will be deleted as soon as is practicable after the end of the project.

Your data protection rights

Under certain circumstances, you have the right:

  • to ask us for access to information about you that we hold;
  • to have your personal data rectified, if it is inaccurate or incomplete;
  • to request the deletion or removal of personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing;
  • to restrict our processing of your personal data (i.e. permitting its storage but no further processing);
  • to object to direct marketing (including profiling) and processing for the purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics;
  • not to be subject to decisions based purely on automated decision-making.

The University of Warwick is the Data Controller of any information you have entered on this form and is committed to protecting the rights of individuals in line with Data Protection Legislation. The University's Data Protection webpages provide further information on your rights and how the University processes personal data. If you wish to submit a data subjects rights request, make a complaint or report a suspected personal data breach, please contact the University’s Data Protection Officer by email at infocompliance@warwick.ac.uk.
