Data we process
Depending on your use of Gauss3, we process account email and profile information, project memberships, assessment responses, Q/M/D measurements, project content, research consent and inclusion records, and technical logs.
Purposes and legal bases
Account and project information is processed to operate, secure and maintain the service. Where applicable, research use requires separate project-specific participant information and consent. Accepting terms for the service does not constitute research consent.
Optional demographic information
Age bracket, gender, highest education and employment sector are optional profile fields. You may leave them blank and still use Gauss3. You can review or correct them in your account settings. They are used for eligible aggregate research descriptions only with separate project-specific research consent. They do not change Q, M or D scores.
Research and pseudonymisation
Research access is limited to authorized researchers and eligible projects. Exports use project pseudonyms and restricted aggregates wherever appropriate. Pseudonymisation and aggregation reduce but do not eliminate re-identification risks, particularly in small teams.
Service providers and transfers
Gauss3 uses infrastructure providers for hosting, database, authentication and email. Personal data may be processed outside your country with legally appropriate safeguards where required.
Retention
Data are retained only as long as necessary for documented service, security and research purposes, subject to applicable legal obligations. Research retention conditions must be specified in the relevant study protocol.
Your rights
You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection where applicable. You may withdraw research consent for future processing subject to applicable law and the study protocol. You may also contact the relevant data protection authority.
AI-assisted results
Gauss3 produces decision-support interpretations and recommendations; it does not replace human decisions and is not designed for solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.
Security and data minimisation
Access controls and safeguards protect information. Avoid uploading unnecessary personal data and special-category information without an appropriate legal basis.
Contact and changes
For privacy questions, consent withdrawal or exercise of rights, contact florijan@cavamalusa.com. This notice may change as the service develops.
