Privacy Notice for
Cultural differences between students’ hopelessness achievement emotions and attribution towards unsuccessful exam experience.
The University of Glasgow will be what’s known as the ‘Data Controller’ of your personal data processed in relation to this research study titled “Cultural differences between students’ hopelessness achievement emotions and attribution towards unsuccessful exam experience.”. This privacy notice will explain how The University of Glasgow will process your personal data.
Why we need it
We are collecting your basic personal data such as age, gender, and nationality for the purposes of basic research and to describe them based on broad categories, but not to identify them in any way. We will only collect the minimum amount of data required for these purposes to minimize all risks to you of being identified.
Legal basis for processing your data
In the context of research, the lawful basis upon which we will process your personal data is usually where “Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller” (Article 6 of UK GDPR). We will also process personal data as permitted by Article 9, of the UK GDPR which permits processing necessary for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes which shall be proportionate to the aim pursued, respect the essence of the right to data protection and provide for suitable and specific measures to safeguard the fundamental rights and the interests of the data subject. Where we need to rely on a different legal condition, such as consent, we will inform you of this in the Participant Information provided to you.
What we do with it and who we share it with
All the personal data you submit within this project is processed by staff at the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom. Data will not be sent outside the UK for any purposes at any time. Throughout the project and during the archiving period all data will be stored on password-protected University servers.
How long do we keep it for
Your anonymized data will be retained by the University for archiving purposes for a period of 10 years. After this time, data will be securely deleted. What are your rights?*
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:
• to obtain access to, and copies of, the personal data that we hold about you;
• to require that we cease processing your personal data if the processing is causing
you damage or distress;
• to require us to correct the personal data we hold about you if it is incorrect;
• to require us to erase your personal data;
• to require us to restrict our data processing activities;
• to receive from us the personal data we hold about you which you have provided to us, in a reasonable format specified by you, including for the purpose of you transmitting that personal data to another data controller;
• to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to any of our particular processing activities where you feel this has a disproportionate impact on your rights.
Your rights to access, change (rectify), or remove your information (erasure) may be limited, as we need to manage your information in specific ways in order for the research to be reliable and accurate. If you withdraw from the study, we may not always be able to remove the information that we have already obtained. We must comply with a request to erase personal data or to rectify personal data that is inaccurate unless there are grounds for refusing the request specified in the UK GDPR. To safeguard your rights, we will use the minimum personally-identifiable information possible.
The Participant Information Sheet given to you will detail up to what point in the study data can be withdrawn as it may be anonymized after a certain point and thus no longer distinguishable as yours. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please submit your request via the webform or contact dp@gla.ac.uk.
*Please note that the ability to exercise these rights will vary and depend on the legal basis on which the processing is being carried out.
