Legal & ethics

Policies

Every policy governing participation, data handling and publication, in one place.

Privacy Policy

What we hold, how identity is separated from research records, and how access is logged.

Participant Rights

The rights every participant holds before, during and after a session.

Data Processing

Lawful basis, categories of data, retention periods and processors.

Withdrawal Policy

How to withdraw, what happens to already-collected data, and protocol limits.

Research Ethics

Consent, governance, conflicts of interest and publication commitments.

Grief-sensitive participation

Safeguards for bereaved participants and how sessions are paused or stopped.

No medical or mental-health advice

What this project is not, and where to seek clinical or bereavement support.

Precedence

Where a policy and a research objective conflict, the policy wins. Participant welfare, consent and blinding integrity take precedence over data collection in every case, and any departure is published as a protocol deviation.
