Privacy policy

1. Introduction
This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information obtained using the instrument based on the “Human Rights Index” methodology. We strive to ensure that your personal data remains anonymous, non-identifiable, and is processed responsibly and securely.

*To conduct statistical and analytical comparisons.
*To provide general insights into social exclusion and discrimination.
*To improve the instrument and methodology.
We never use the collected data to identify your personal identity. Even when conducting group tests, statistical group results are only available when at least 5 responses have been collected.

3. Types of Data
The instrument may collect the following data:
*Demographic information (gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, etc.).
*Social information (residence, income, family structure, etc.).
*Your responses to questions that help assess your level of vulnerability.
All collected information is anonymous and does not aim to identify any individual.

4. Data Processing and Security
All data collected using this instrument is processed in compliance with strict security standards. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the information from unauthorized access, loss, or damage.

5. Data Storage
Collected data will be stored only as long as necessary to achieve the stated purposes and will be deleted or further anonymized when no longer needed. The data is used solely for statistical research or analysis and remains entirely anonymous, making it impossible to identify any individual.
