Resilient Youth Australia Summary Data Policy

Confidentiality and use of data

We are committed to ensuring the protection of individual rights to privacy and confidentiality, and that the information we collect benefits participants.

Data collection and privacy

Our surveys are voluntary and anonymous. All collected data is non-identifiable and we do not collect any sensitive or personal information. Only aggregated data is reported.

Data ownership

Survey data is owned by RYA.

Data use

Survey responses are aggregated when reported to the client school or agency.  Individual anonymity is protected by creating one universal login for all participants and by setting a minimum number of responses required in order to report a result for any cohort. These measures ensure that responses can never be traced to an individual.

Aggregated non-identified data may be used by Resilient Youth Australia to generate Australian norms or by partner research institutions for research purposes. 

Ethics

When a Principal chooses to establish an evidence-base upon which to make decisions for the continuous improvement of the wellbeing of their students and employees, they may choose to utilise for a fee one or more of our Survey Products or Services. In this case their own school’s ethics policies and procedures apply.

Storage 

All data is stored on RYA’s secure AWS servers located in Sydney Australia.

This is a summary Data Policy.
