The information on this webpage is relevant to you if you:
- agreed to participate in a research study or project run by academic researchers at the University of Oxford; and/or
- provided your personal data to another organisation who has passed on that data to the University of Oxford for research purposes.
In relation to case (a) above, the general information on this page is intended to supplement the specific information that you have already been given (for example on a participant information sheet or a consent form) in connection with your participation in a research study or project run by academic researchers at the University of Oxford.
That specific information is meant to provide details such as the types of personal data being used in the study, how we are collecting that data from you and/or from other sources, and whether the University is collaborating with any other organisations to run the study (for example other universities, hospitals, or sponsors of the research). If there is any contradiction between this general information and the specific information that you have already been given, the specific information will take precedence.
In relation to case (b) above, we will have obtained your personal data subject to assurances from such other organisation that it is legally entitled to share that data with us for research purposes. The information below explains how we will handle that data and our commitment to protect your privacy and comply with data protection laws.
