Terms of Use

In submitting questionnaire data to REAP Petite you agree to the following terms of use:

Why is SEI at the University of York collecting data about you?

SEI is continually refining the REAP database and the information you provide may contribute to its ongoing research.  SEI will only use personal data for the purpose of analysis to answer new scientific questions.

What will happen to the data I give SEI?

All data you provide through the REAP Petite web site will be collected and stored by SEI at the University of York in accordance with our privacy policy (please see http://www.york.ac.uk/recordsmanagement/dpa/) except where these terms and conditions have varied from that policy. We will only use the data you supply in the context of our ongoing research, unless you give your permission for other specified purposes. All REAP-Petite data that is passed on to scientists, academics or educators will have any personally identifying details (for example your name and email address) removed, unless you've given your permission for other specified purposes.

Will SEI ever pass on my email address?

When you register for REAP-Petite, we ask you to give us an email address. This helps us identify you. It also allows us to contact you, for the purposes of administering the site and our ongoing research, provided you have given us permission to do so.

We will never pass on your email address to anyone unless you give your permission for us to do so for specified purposes.

Who will be able to access my data?

The data that you submit may be passed on in anonymous form to SEI scientists involved in the sustainable consumption and production work at SEI. Other scientists may also request to see the anonymous data for research purposes. SEI will only pass on data in this instance once it has satisfied itself that:

• The data will be used to advance knowledge and that any findings will be made publicly available, for example in a peer-reviewed journal.
• The data will be used in a way that conforms to the same ethical standards as the original REAP-Petite research.
• The data will not be used for commercial purposes.
• Your results data will not be stored with your REAP-Petite Identity Account data. The results data will be held anonymously in a secure server accessible only by a small number of SEI staff.

By joining a 'group' in REAP Petite you give permission for members of that group to request and access your questionnaire data in anonymous form. Your name and/or email address associated with this data will only be passed on with your permission.

SEI will never pass your data on to market research companies, or use it within the University of York for any purpose other than administering the REAP-Petite website and our research.
