General information on the handling of the interview material

Data protection requires your explicit and informed consent as to what we may do with your interview.  

We assure you of the following procedure so that your information cannot be linked to your person:

  • We obtain your verbal consent for the procedure described here at the beginning of the interview.
  • Then we conduct the interview via Webex. The interview is recorded within this conference service. It is first stored on servers of the ZBW. Only the interviewer has access to this recording.
  • The recording is logged and then deleted. If you wish, you can also receive a transcript of the recording. Please let us know in advance.
  • We make the record anonymous, i.e. we change all personal details such as age, occupation that could lead to a clear identification.
  • Your name and email address will be deleted from our records at the end of the interview phase, so that only the anonymised protocol exists.
  • If you provide a signed declaration of consent to the evaluation, this will be kept in a separate folder in a secure place (or data trustee) accessible only to the interview leader. It is only used to prove that you agree to the evaluation in the event of a check by the data protection officer. It can no longer be linked to your interview.
  • If you have given your consent, the protocol will be used and interpreted for further development of the EconBiz portal. In doing so, your anonymity will be preserved.
  • If the results are included in a publication, this will be done in anonymised form, i.e. data cannot be assigned to individual persons.

 

If you have any questions, please contact Anastasia Kazakova.
