Confidential For some projects it is important to know the identity of the participants, as such, an identifier (such as email addresses, names, or IDs) is used to link to a participant鈥檚 response. Identifying information is only shared with authorized staff and is never included in any reported results.

Before conducting a survey, the University will conduct an assessment of the necessity and the ethical aspect of the survey, taking into account, in particular, the sensitivity of the Personal Information collected and the purposes for which it is to be used.
