Personally identifiable data: Non-anonymous data, your NAME and EMAIL ADDRESS, which allows us to identify you as an individual, is available ONLY to Roger Steare Consulting Limited (the Data Controller) and Psycholate Limited (the Data Processor).

Anonymized data: The information you give us, including your age, your location, gender, etc and your answers to the questionnaire CANNOT BE USED TO IDENTIFY YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL.
