1. Scope
This policy covers information exchanged through website use, email or WhatsApp contact, project assessment, secure file transfer and project delivery.
2. Research and project files
Datasets submitted for analysis or methodological review should not contain direct identifiers. The project owner is responsible for having the legal and ethical authority to share the data and for limiting the submission to the minimum information necessary for the requested service.
3. Health-related variables
A research dataset may contain health-related variables. However, names, contact details, identifiable images, direct identifiers or re-identification keys should not be submitted. Email and WhatsApp should not be used to transfer patient-level identifiable data.
4. Access and confidentiality
Project files are accessed only by persons who need access to perform the agreed service. Information is not disclosed to unauthorized third parties, subject to legal obligations and technical providers necessary to deliver the service.
5. Technical service providers
Hosting, storage, email, security or related infrastructure may be provided by third-party services. Provider selection and configuration are considered in light of security, access and data-handling requirements.
6. Retention and deletion
Project materials should not be retained longer than necessary for the service, except where legal or contractual retention requirements apply. Specific retention arrangements may depend on the project and service agreement.
7. Technical logs and cookies
Security, performance and essential website functions may generate technical records such as IP address, browser information and timestamps. Where non-essential analytics or marketing technologies are used, appropriate notice and preference mechanisms should be provided.
8. External links
Links may direct users to third-party websites. Their privacy and security practices are governed by their own policies.
9. International projects
For cross-border collaboration, the project owner remains responsible for ensuring that data sharing is compatible with applicable institutional, ethical and legal requirements in the relevant jurisdiction.
