International data transfers
Contact information of the survey respondents might be shared with third party researchers employed by the survey company to conduct the surveys. Once anonymised, the data will be shared by the survey company with BII. This international transfer complies with UK data protection law.
How we store your personal data
The personal data that is collected during the surveys will be anonymised at the end of the project, and neither the survey provider or BII will process your personal data after that time.
