Privacy statement

1. Purpose of this Statement

This statement tells you how the University will collect and process your personal data when you access this website.

2. Automated Collection of Personal Information

As with most other web servers, when you access these web pages certain information you provide will automatically be recorded by the University. This will include your IP address, browser type, and information relating to the page you last visited. This information is processed to estimate how much usage of the server is made by different categories of users and in the event of a breach of security may be used to aid detection.

3. Non-Automated Collection

Where you are asked on this website to provide personal data (age, gender, etc.), this data will be used solely for the purposes of the research study in question. All such studies will have been considered by the Institute's Ethics Committee. Data collected will not be linked to the automatically logged data as set out in Section 2 (Automated collection). Psychological studies rarely ask for the names of participants, and are therefore generally anonymous. As we will not link IP address, browser type, and last page visited, to personal data submitted during participation in a study, anonymity is preserved.

4. Third Party Access

Your personal data that you have provided will not be sent to other third parties and will remain confidential, accessible only by those who have a legitimate need to know within the University.

5. Changes to this statement

This statement and therefore the ways in which your data may be processed can be changed from time to time. Any changes will only be notified via this web page.

If you have any queries relating to the privacy statement then please contact the Psychology web manager who is responsible for the pages to which it relates. If you feel dissatisfied with the response given then please contact the University’s webmaster (webmaster@leeds.ac.uk).
