PRIVACY NOTICE - RESEARCH FOR THE ROYAL FOUNDATION NEW EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES NETWORK

This notice explains how we use any information we gather in our survey or interviews.

This research is run by Upstream Research Limited, on behalf of the The Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Upstream is a research, policy and evaluation consultancy.

The purpose is to help understand how the New Employment Opportunities Network (NEON) has been implemented and what impact is having- what is working well, what could be improved, and where the programme goes next. An Upstream researcher will ask you questions, and the information you provide is collected on the basis of consent, and of legitimate purposes for undertaking this research. 

Interview material will be anonymised, unless you actively request for any comment or quote to be attributed to you. The Royal Foundation are aware of the organisations we are interviewing, so some content may identify you even if anonymised.

Interviews will be transcribed (not recorded). The transcript will not be shared with any organisation or individual outside Upstream.

All information collected will be processed, protected and disposed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and will only be used by us to inform the evaluation of NEON. We will not disclose any personal information to any other third parties unless required to do so by law.

Upstream Research Limited will retain the interview transcripts for the duration of its contract with The Royal Foundation, and deleted as soon as practical after our obligations under that contract are fulfilled.

You have the right to withdraw consent to use your data in line with this notice at any point, including after interviews have started.

Please contact us if you have any questions about this privacy notice or information we hold. You can contact gordon.hector@goupstream.co.uk to discuss anything here.
