Who is responsible for this project and your data?
The project is being run by Clever Together in collaboration with the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre at Sheffield Hallam University and the National Centre for Sport & Exercise Medicine – Sheffield.
What is the purpose of this work?
This project seeks to understand how the sport and physical activity sector can work together to shape the design, provision and promotion of services so we can better support, empower and inspire people with health conditions to be active.
To do this, we are running an online conversation, where you can share your ideas in relation to this matter, see and comment on the ideas of others, and vote to show your support.
What data do we collect?
As part of the sign-up process, we will ask you to share with us the following personal information:
- Your first name and email address
- Details about the capacity in which you’re joining the conversation including your role and primary work setting (if applicable)
- The region in which you live
- How active you consider yourself to be
- The following personal information about you:
- whether you have a health condition and what type(s)
- whether it reduces your ability to carry-out day-to-day activities
- your sex
- your gender
- your age group
- your ethnic group
Once you are inside the online conversation, you will be able to share your responses to several questions by posting ideas and comments as well as voting on the ideas of others.
How will we use your data?
Your first name and email address will only be used to send you reminders and information about the online conversation. This information is not linked to any of your personal data or any content you may share during the conversation. The only exception to this is if you post content that is abusive or offensive in which case, Clever Together may identify the author of the offending contribution.
All other information is attached to your contributions, but not to your identity. So, for example, we may know that a particular idea was written by a healthcare professional working in the East of England, but we won't know specifically who that person was. Moreover, when sharing analyses, we always take steps to ensure no one can be identified.
The reason we ask questions about your health condition(s) and activity levels is so that we can understand how experiences differ based on these factors. Once again, this information will never be linked back to your identity, just to your contributions in the online conversation.
If you've answered yes to the question "Would you like to be kept informed about this project, including when the co-produced guidance is published?", then we will share your email address and first name with the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre at Sheffield Hallam University and the National Centre for Sport & Exercise Medicine – Sheffield. These details will be shared separately and will not be linked in any way to your demographic information or the contributions you make in the conversation. No other personal information will be accessible by anybody outside of Clever Together's analysis team.
What is the lawful basis for collecting and processing your data?
Clever Together is conducting this conversation and the associated data processing as outlined here, under the lawful basis, (as set out in Article 6 of the GDPR and DPA 2018) of consent.
"The individual has given clear consent for you to process their personal data for a specific purpose."
For this conversation, Clever Together is operating as a data controller (in relation to those people who have signed up to the conversation) with the objective of providing National Centre for Sport & Exercise Medicine – Sheffield with insight about about how to make it easier to be active with a health condition. In pursuing this interest, it is legitimate that we capture, store and process information about people with an interest in this topic.
For any conversation where Clever Together is the data controller, we will always ask for your consent to process your information and explain why. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time and can do so by simply writing to us at privacy@clevertogether.com.
