Terms and Conditions 2025:

Any data collected for the project will be managed and processed by Substance (the ‘data processor’) on behalf of Cefas (the ‘data controller’), in accordance with GDPR regulations.

By taking part, you are agreeing that data provided in the sign-up survey, online diary tool and mobile app can be processed and analysed for the research associated with the Sea Angling Diary Project.

All data is stored securely in the UK.

No identifying data will be processed for the project, except where it is required for administration purposes (such as user logins, reminder emails, users queries and online diary tool support). Identifying data is only accessible by Substance and is not shared with Cefas or any other third parties unless you have given express permission for that to be done. All data submitted by users will only be published in anonymised, aggregate form.

Your participation in the project will continue until the end of March 2026 unless you withdraw from the project before this time. We will store your personal data and Sea Angling Diary data until the end of March 2026 or as soon as the project and analysis is complete, if sooner. You can withdraw permission for us to store your data at any time by emailing seaanglingdiary@substance.net. If you withdraw from the project your personal data will be removed.
