This privacy statement has been created for the Digital Autonomy Machine experiment to demonstrate our team's firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices for this website: https://autonomymachine.cs.ox.ac.uk/.
We collect two types of data - (1) Data we collect automatically when you use our services: We receive data from your browser or device each time you access our website. Browsers and devices send this information to websites to identify themselves. Note that we do not work with any third-party advertising companies. As such, the information will only be collected for our own internal research purposes so that we can better contextualise your responses and also to use cookies so that we can ensure your responses are saved as you engage with the scenarios. For more information about cookies, please refer to our Cookie Policy. The personal data we may collect includes your IP address, date and time of access to our service, hardware, software, or browser you use and information about your computer's operating system, language settings and information on your clicks and pages that have been shown to you; (2) Personal data that you choose to share with us: If you engage with our experiment, we will keep the data that you provide as part of answering the quiz, including your consent to participate, and any background information (e.g., age). We keep this data you provide to us strictly confidential and do not sell, share, transfer, or distribute it to any third party.
We do not share the data you provide with any third parties for the purposes of advertising or monetisation. We may, however, share details with competent authorities in order to ensure compliance with any applicable laws, in the event of assessed breaches of contractual provisions with us, to protect the rights, properties, and safety of our research, our users, or other parties, as well as to identify and solve safety problems.
We will not advertise any products or share your data with any advertising companies (or third-party companies).
https://autonomymachine.cs.ox.ac.uk/ stores data until it is necessary to provide its services. The data retention period changes based on circumstances such as data nature, reason for collection and processing, and relevant legal requirements. In any event, the criteria used to determine the data retention period are based upon compliance with the terms allowed by any applicable laws and the principles of processing minimisation and rational management of the archives. We will only keep data that are necessary to comply with legal obligations and for a period not longer than that required for such compliance.
Users can exercise at any moment the rights set out in Article 7 of the Privacy Code and in Articles 15 and following of the GDPR, including the right to receive confirmation of the existence of personal data that concern them, to assess their content, accuracy, location (also with reference to any third Country), to ask for a copy of such data, to ask for the integration, update, correction, and, when allowed by the applicable law, the restriction, cancellation, transformation in anonymous form, or block for law infringement. The user can also contact us if they believe that https://autonomymachine.cs.ox.ac.uk/ does not have the right to use certain data or if they have doubts about how their data are processed or on this Policy. In any event, you have the right to complain to a data protection authority if you believe that our collection and use of your data is carried out in breach of the applicable law.
To protect your data and confidentiality, the team will be making sure that both identifiable and nonidentifiable information (e.g., your responses to the scenarios), for example, will be stored securely in a password-protected folder on The University of Oxford’s SharePoint facilities, separately from any identifiable data. Data will be destroyed safely as soon as it is no longer needed for analysis revision and for publications (i.e., 12 months after the end of the project). Only the researcher and other authorised personnel at the University of Oxford such as IT and Ethics auditors will have access to the research data.
