Privacy: How the ELSA At Home parent survey will collect, store and use data

Your personal information is protected by law, including the Privacy Act 1988. The University of Canberra will not collect any personal information as part of this online survey.

All data, including identifiable information (such as name and email address) provided as part of the optional  video-recorded interview (below) will be securely stored on servers within Australia, with a unique but meaningless number assigned to each participant (no personal information is being sent overseas); and de-identified (removing names of participant) before being used in reports (or any future academic papers).

The researcher will take every care to remove any identifying material from the responses you provide as early as possible. Likewise, individuals’ responses will be kept confidential by the researcher and will (or participants will) not be identified in the reporting of the research. However, the researcher cannot guarantee the confidentiality or anonymity of material transferred by email or the internet.

You can get more information about the way in which the University of Canberra will manage data, including requesting a copy of our privacy policy, by emailing elsa.schools@canberra.edu.au
