The service collects information from the user via a form and generates an automatic PDF report with feedback. Most of the collected information is numerical or classified data.

Categories of Personal Data

The service does not require authentication or login. It collects information about the user’s faculty and stage of studies (bachelor’s, master’s, or graduate). Providing this information is voluntary. The user’s IP address is also used to verify that the person downloading the report is the same who completed the form.

The service stores the form responses, which may be used for research and reporting. Data may also be used to develop the tool. Data cannot be linked to an individual unless the user voluntarily provides personal information on the form. Any personal data provided is not used and will be deleted during processing.

Cookies

Data is processed internally at the University of Turku. Only designated university staff have access to the system. Summaries, reports, and research based on the collected data may be shared publicly. In these reports, users of the service are not identifiable.

Transfers to Third Countries
