Personal Data Protection Statement

Introduction

This privacy policy provides details on how we collect and process your personal data when you choose to participate in our survey by answering the optional questions of the policy compass questionnaire. Participation is entirely optional and will be used in academic research related to electoral behavior in the European Elections. For questions regarding the protection of your data, please contact us at admin@methexipod.gr.

Data Collection and Use

We collect the optional data you choose to provide: gender, age group, education level, political preferences, interest in politics and electoral views, and your answers to the questionnaire. This data is used exclusively for the aforementioned academic research. Participation and providing your data are optional.

Data Retention and Sharing

The collected data will not be shared with third parties and will be retained until the completion of the academic research. The data is collected anonymously, ensuring that no individual can be identified or linked to their responses.

Your Rights

Given the anonymous nature of the data collection, the rights of access, correction, or deletion of data cannot be exercised as there is no way to link responses to the user's identity. However, we ensure transparent processing based on consent.
