Your privacy is very important to us. We therefore handle your data carefully and confidentially. During the investigation, we take various measures to protect the privacy of you and your child.

Protection of your data

Researchers only see this code and cannot trace the research results back to you or your child. The data can only be traced back to a person with the key to the code. This key remains safely stored on a secure disk of the UU. After the investigation, the persons who participated in the investigation cannot be traced back in reports and publications.

Confidentiality

Some people can get access to your data, even the data without a code. This applies to the researchers of the CALM study. They may never pass this information on to third party and are bound by strict secrecy.
