Confidentiality
In accordance with the GDPR and the project-specific data privacy concept, all study-related information is kept securely at the study site. All participant information is kept in locked file cabinets. All reports, data collection, process, and administrative forms will be marked with a coded ID (identification number) only to maintain participant confidentiality. All records containing names or other personal identifiers, such as consent forms, are kept separate from study records, which are marked with a code number. All local databases are secured by a password protected access system. The health record consists of two parts: part one contains the data identifying the person, and part two contains the health-related data. The person-identifying data and the health-related data are hosted on different servers. Therefore, only pseudonymized data are made available to the external evaluator.
