Collection

It is Sentis’ usual practice to collect personal information directly from the individual that personal information concerns. The types of information we collect are listed here. Sometimes, we may request personal information from you which consists of sensitive personal information. The types of sensitive information we collect are listed here.

However, sometimes Sentis may collect personal information from a third party. If we have collected personal information from a third party we will, whenever reasonably possible, make you aware that we have done this and why unless special circumstances apply, such as when we have been provided the information from your employer or the party on behalf of whom you are providing your services to, or from such other parties or for such other reasons as those listed in our Privacy Policy.

In certain circumstances, we request your assistance in generating a unique identifying code to link any answers you may provide us to one or more questionnaires over the course of a project (or multiple projects). The code will be stored securely and kept confidential by the research team at Sentis. After the project is completed, your personal information will be deleted and any reports created as a result of the answers to the questionnaires will be aggregated and anonymised without any reference to any individual participant.

Use and Disclosure

Sentis only uses and discloses personal information for the purposes for which it was collected, which are directly related to one of our functions or activities here (paragraph 4.2).

Sentis will generally only disclose your personal information to those parties external to Sentis where those third parties assist Sentis in carrying out its services or are a related party to Sentis. Examples of those organisations are listed here (paragraph 5.1).

You may unsubscribe from receiving any further communication from us at any time. If you do not wish to receive direct marketing communications from Sentis, please contact us via the details provided below, or follow the unsubscribe links in any email communication you may receive from us.
