Health Reporting 2025 at HAW Hamburg: Information about the survey and data protection information according to Art. 13 GDPR, including information about the rights of survey participants and consent to participate in the survey

 

Explanation of the Survey

The Health Reporting (German: Gesundheitsberichterstattung, abbreviated GBE) 2025 is being conducted at HAW Hamburg by the project team of the University Health Management (German: Hochschulisches Gesundheitsmanagement, abbreviated HGM).

The purpose of Health Reporting 2025 is to analyse and describe the health status of students at HAW Hamburg, significant influencing factors, and individual resources. In areas where a need for action becomes apparent, the GBE can provide detailed insights and/or in-depth analyses.

This survey includes questions about your well-being and current health status, as well as questions regarding study conditions. By participating, you help us understand how you are doing and provide insight into student health behaviour, subjective health, study conditions, and personal resources for studying at HAW Hamburg.

The goal of the survey is to derive supportive structures and services for you and future students so that everyone can study in good health. Therefore, the survey is aimed at all students of HAW Hamburg. It seeks a general picture, so your responses will be collected anonymously: your answers cannot be traced back to you personally.

This also applies to the participation in the raffle: As a thank you for taking part in the survey, there will be a raffle at the end of the survey. Various prizes will be raffled among all students who complete the survey and then enter their email address. The raffle and email address submission take place separately from the survey, meaning your survey responses will be stored separately from your email address and cannot be linked. The raffle will take place after the data collection period.

Further information and details can be found on the following website: Website for Health Reporting

 

Duration of the Survey

Answering the survey will take approximately 15 minutes.

Relevant Information on the Processing of Personal Data and the Purpose of Processing

The following personal data are collected in the study:

Age, gender, semester affiliation, department affiliation, migration background, family responsibilities, degree of disability, relocation from abroad for studies, and whether it’s a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree.

All data are collected and stored anonymously, i.e., without names, email addresses, IP addresses, or other personally identifiable characteristics. The collection of demographic data follows the principle of data minimization. It is not possible to trace the data back to individuals.

The Health Reporting 2025 is conducted anonymously. In anonymization, all personal characteristics are removed or altered such that tracing them back to your person is no longer possible. Anonymized data no longer fall under the provisions of the GDPR.

The purpose of data collection is to establish a comprehensive data basis for future health-promoting design and planning of measures within the University Health Management (HGM) at HAW Hamburg. Furthermore, the renewed health reporting 2025 enables the acquisition of cross-sectional data compared to the health report from 2022.

 

Handling of Free Text Responses

Free text entries are possible for questions regarding gender and experiences of discrimination. All data are collected and stored anonymously. Data analysis is conducted at the group level using SPSS (means, frequencies). For privacy reasons, responses from groups with fewer than 10 individuals will not be analysed, so individual identification will not be possible, and data will not be personally attributable.

Persons involved in data processing are not permitted to process personal data without authorization. All individuals involved in the research project are bound to the data protection concept and confidentiality. This obligation continues even after the individuals leave the research team, meaning they are still required to maintain confidentiality regarding the data processed here.

 

Legal Basis

The legal basis for the data processing described here in the context of Health Reporting 2025 is consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

 

Recipients of Data / Data Transmission

The data is collected via SoSciSurvey.de, where it is temporarily stored on the server (Privacy Policy SoSciSurvey).

The server is hosted in the data center of M-net Telekommunikations GmbH and is ISO27001 certified. The data can be deleted at any time by the HAW project management.

The collected data is stored on the HAW Hamburg server by the project team in accordance with good scientific practice.

 

Duration of Storage

The anonymized data set will be stored on the HAW Hamburg server for ten years.

By default, data is archived by SoSciSurvey for a period of 3 months if no login by the project management occurs. During archiving, all data is deleted, and the questionnaire is archived as an XML file.

No data for which we are legally obligated to forward or retain for tax or commercial purposes is collected from survey participants.
