Supplementary information for study participants in accordance with the European Data Protection Basic Regulation:

We hereby inform you about the rights laid down in the DSGVO (Article 12 et seq. DSGVO):

Legal basis: The legal basis for the processing of personal data concerning you in clinical trials is your voluntary written consent in accordance with the German Data Protection Act (DSGVO) as well as the Helsinki Declaration (Declaration of the World Medical Association on Ethical Principles for Medical Research on Humans) and the Guideline for Good Clinical Practice. The revised Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu) will come into force in Germany at the same time as the DSGVO.

Person responsible for data protection: The principle investigator: Prof. Dr phil. Anne Rahn.

Right to information

You have the right to obtain information about your personal data that are collected, processed or, if applicable, transferred to third parties in the context of the clinical study (handing over of a free copy) (Article 15 DSGVO, §34 BDSG-neu). However, due to the anonymity of the survey, it is not possible to provide information about individual data.

Right to rectification

You have the right to have inaccurate personal data concerning you corrected (Articles 16 and 19 DSGVO). However, due to the anonymity of the survey, it is not possible to correct individual data.

Right of deletion

You have the right that personal data concerning you be deleted, e.g. if this data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected (Articles 17 and 19 DSGVO, §35 BDSG-neu).
However, due to the anonymity of the survey, it is not possible to delete individual data.

Right to restriction of processing

Under certain conditions, you have the right to request a restriction of data processing, i.e. the data may only be stored but not processed. You must apply for this. To do so, please
contact your head of study or the data protection officer of the trial centre (Articles 18 and 19 DSGVO). However, due to the anonymous nature of the survey, it is not possible to exclude individual data from processing.

Right to data transferability

You have the right to obtain the personal data relating to you that you have provided to the responsible person for the clinical trial. This allows you to request that this data be transferred either to you or, as far as technically possible, to another body named by you (Article 20 of the GDPR). However, due to the anonymity of the survey, it is not possible to export individual data.

Right to object

You have the right to object at any time to specific decisions or measures concerning the processing of personal data relating to you (Art. 21 DSGVO, § 36BDSG-neu). Such processing will then no longer take place.

Consent to the processing of personal data and right to withdraw this consent: The processing of your personal data is only lawful with your consent (Article 6 DSGVO). You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. In the event of withdrawal, your personal data must generally be deleted (Article 7, paragraph 3 DSGVO). However, there are exceptions according to which the data collected up to the time of the withdrawal may continue to be processed, e.g. if further data processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation (Article 17, paragraph 3 b DSGVO).

If you wish to avail any of these rights, please contact the principal investigator.

Right to appeal to a supervisory authority: If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection rules, please contact the data protection officer of the supervisory authority (see above). Independently of this, you have the right to complain to the supervisory authority.
