What personal data we collect and why we collect it
The website does not collect or store any personal information. If you upload the consent forms from our web site, the details are sent to the email account of HADD Ireland. HADD Ireland follows up and contacts the interested party in the project and in collaboration with WordsWorthLearning, once the pre-assessment is finished they send us the results with anonymised and de-identified data for students, parents and teachers. There is limited access to the hard copy personal data to authorised personnel and with a sign-in procedure secure and safely stored from WWL and HADD Ireland. Only HADD Ireland and WWL can use the information you have submitted in the consent forms to contact you about AHA activities and results.
A feedback evaluation form is intentionally not provided on this website. Users may directly contact us with any comments at aha@ucd.ie. Storage and handling of such messages are subject to the data handling policy of the coordinator.
Concerning traffic data, which is created by browsing the web portal, we collect IP addresses of the website’s visitors. These data are collected automatically as soon as you enter our website. These IP addresses are stored for 5 years after the end of the project. No registration is required to access the website. However, we use cookies to be able to provide a members-only area on this website for the users of the AHA platform for the pilot study. For visitors not using this log-in area, cookies can be denied through the browser setting without negatively affecting the functionality of the website. Part of the data is collected to ensure the proper functioning of the website. Other data can be used to analyse how visitors use the site.
