SCROLL: Privacy policy

(Last updated on 3rd April 2017)

This document explains what information we gather when you visit the SCROLL website and explains how that information may be used.

The information within this document does not apply to any surveys run using the SCROLL software. Specifically, it is the sole responsibility of the institution holding the SCROLL licence to provide survey respondents with all appropriate information as required either by law or by other statute either as part of the survey completion process or via other communication.

In addition, registered users of the SCROLL service should refer to the licence agreement signed by their organisation.

Email address use

You will need to provide a valid and operational email address should you wish to log in to SCROLL (either to run surveys or access survey results etc). This address may be visible on any surveys you issue and will be used if you request a replacement password.

Administrators and the Primary Contact within the SCROLL account may be added to our mailing list since this is the primary means of communication between the SCROLL team and our registered users. Users may choose to leave this mailing list at any time.

Your email address will not be passed to any third party except if required by law.

• Number of people that have viewed a certain page
• The page routes that are being taken

Having this information helps us to develop these things to give you the best experience possible and if you continue to use our site you consent to this. As with our cookies, it is important to realise that all the information we obtain is, and will remain, entirely anonymous.
