Privacy statement

Knowledge Center for Anxiety and Stress in Youth
In this privacy statement, we explain when and why we collect and use personal data. We also explain what data we collect and what rights you have when we process your personal data. You have the right to know how we handle your data and how we protect your privacy. If you have any questions, you can always contact us at kas@fsw.leidenuniv.nl or our privacy officer at privacy@fsw.leidenuniv.nl.

Within the Knowledge Center, only authorized employees have access to personal data, such as the coordinator and employee of the advice line. Access for external researchers is only granted after explicit consent from those involved.

Who are we?
The Knowledge Center for Anxiety and Stress in Youth (KAS) is part of Leiden University. We provide information about anxiety and stress in youth via our website. We help researchers with their scientific projects by posting them on our website. We also have an advice line where professionals can ask questions about anxiety and stress in children and young people. Parents can also register if they want to participate in a project. We offer presentations, workshops, webinars, training courses, and peer reviews for schools and professionals. Through our partners, we sometimes also offer training courses for children and young people. Please note that KAS is not a treatment institution. Treatment is always provided through our partners.

When and why do we process personal data?
In some cases, we process personal data. Below you can read what data we collect and why.

We only process personal data when necessary and on the basis of a valid legal basis under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The table below shows which data we collect in each situation, for what purpose, and on what legal basis.

TABEL! 

Are we allowed to process your personal data?
We are only allowed to process your personal data if this is permitted under privacy legislation. We refer to the reason for this as a ‘basis’. The bases for processing data are set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The basis for processing your data is your consent, as described in Article 7 of the GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending a request to kas@leidenuniv.nl. From that moment on, we will no longer process your data.

How do we secure your data?
We take appropriate measures to ensure that your data is stored securely. We follow the legal requirements and guidelines of Leiden University.

How long do we retain your data?
We do not retain your data longer than is necessary for the purpose for which we collect it. Sometimes we have to retain data for longer, for example due to the Public Records Act.

Do we share your data with third parties?
We do not share your data with people who do not work at Leiden University.

What are your rights?
You have various rights. You can ask us what data we have about you and have it corrected if it is incorrect. You can also ask us to delete your data, transfer it, or stop processing it. If you disagree with the processing of your data, you can submit a complaint to our privacy office at privacy@fsw.leidenuniv.nl or to the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
