Principal Investigator (Researcher): Prof. AEH Dr. hab. Michał Wilczewski

 

I declare that, having reviewed the GDPR information clause for study participants (see below), I give my explicit, voluntary, and informed consent to the processing of my sensitive personal data by the Administrator, i.e., the University of Economics and Human Sciences in Warsaw, to the extent necessary for the study to be conducted by the Principal Investigator and others involved, in accordance with the terms specified in the participant information (Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR), while maintaining anonymity to prevent my identification by anyone other than those conducting this study.

I acknowledge that, to the extent necessary for scientific research and development activities, my sensitive personal data may be processed, which could reveal racial or ethnic origin, political views, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, as well as genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying an individual, or data concerning health, sexuality, or sexual orientation. However, the publication of the results of this research and developmental work will not lead to my identification.

I declare that so-called sensitive personal data will be collected through the following research tool: an online survey questionnaire (please specify, e.g., questionnaire, interview, etc.).

In cases where the scientific study involves audio or audiovisual recording, I acknowledge that the processing of my image or voice will not violate my personal rights. Recorded material will promptly be converted from audio or audiovisual to text (transcription), after which the recording will be permanently deleted, and the transcription containing personal data will be anonymized after the study concludes.* *This paragraph applies only if the research objective requires recording.

I have been informed that I have the right to withdraw my consent for the processing of personal data at any time, which I may do in writing to the organizational unit of the project leader, Prof. AEH Dr. hab. Michał Wilczewski, or electronically at m.wilczewski@vizja.pl. Izhave reviewed the information regarding personal data processing.
