Your data will be processed for 4 years, i.e. the entire duration of the project, and then irrevocably deleted.

Personal data (age, gender, origin) is collected within the scope of the study. The collection and evaluation of the data is pseudonymised. This means that you can create your own pseudonym (individual code) in the questionnaire at the beginning of the survey. We also ask you to create this individual code in the second and third questionnaires, and via this code we can assign the data records from the questionnaires to each other without knowing which concrete persons are behind these pseudonyms.

We will guide you through the process of creating the code in the questionnaire. This requires the first two letters of your mother's first name, the first two digits of your birthday and the second and third letters of your place of birth. For example, if your mother's name is Katrinand you were born in Fuldaon 08.12., this will result in the pseudonym "KA08UL".

Health data (stress, mental health, physical condition, health behaviour) and education-related data (study performance & satisfaction) are collected. The data collection is pseudonymised, i.e. it is not possible to assign the data to an identifiable natural person.

Data will only be collected and processed with your consent. We record this consent when you call up the online survey by asking you to activate a checkbox.

Your data will only be viewed and processed by the scientific team that developed and evaluated the questionnaire. Your data will not be passed on to third parties.

Completion of the questionnaire is voluntary. You will not suffer any adverse consequences if you do not participate in this study. It is also possible to leave questions blank. Even if you do not answer individual questions, you can still participate in the survey.

Data protection law grants you the following rights:

- the right to information (Art. 15 DS-GVO),

- the right to rectification (Art. 16 DS-GVO),

- the right to erasure (Art. 17 DS-GVO),

- the right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 DS-GVO),

- the right to object to processing (Art. 21 DS-GVO),

- as well as a right to data portability (Art. 20 DS-GVO).

Since the data is collected in pseudonymised form, the deletion and blocking of individual or all personal data can be initiated. To do this, we record the individual code that you create yourself at the beginning of the survey. If you want to withdraw your consent to the use of your data, you only have to send us this code (don't worry, we will help you to create the code again). The code will allow us to identify your data and delete it if you wish.

You have the right to complain to the supervisory authority for data protection:

Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information
