SeaSalt Research Privacy Policy

Introduction

We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.

What information do we collect?

We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal data:

  • Information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (including your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit and number of page views);
  • Information relating to any transactions carried out between you and us on or in relation to this website, including information relating to any purchases you make of our services (including courses);
  • Any other information that you choose to send to us.

What information do we collect in the context of Research?

We are committed to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy. Personal information is defined as any details that will enable you to be identified, such as ID numbers, telephone numbers, address, email address, etc. Your participation is voluntary. You are entitled to ask that part, or all, of the record of your involvement in the survey be deleted or destroyed.

When designing and executing our research, it is our policy to take all necessary steps to ensure that minimal personal information is collected. This information is: IP addresses, for internet security review purposes, and email addresses when freely offered by participants. We do not sell, rent or exchange any personal information supplied by you to any third party, and will not use any of the information you provide for direct marketing or other non-research activities.

It is our policy to monitor our internal procedures regularly to ensure compliance with the relevant statutory requirements in all that we do, including the U.K  Data Protection Act 1998. Research activities are performed to the standards outlined in the US Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects (“Common Rule”).

Privacy in Open Source Data Sets

There is still the likelihood that, in the process of completing a survey, you will accidentally provide identifying information. Prior to opening a data set to a wider audience, the data will be reviewed and redacted of names, dates, and other potentially identifying information provided.

Why Open Source Data Sets?

We seek to keep the conclusions we draw from our data reproducible — but we also understand that the world of research is full of people coming up with new and novel ways to look at data we might have moved past. Inspired by other open data sets: the Correlates of War and cognitive-focused data sets groups such as Data On The Mind.
