Data Privacy Policy: Informed consent used for online registration 

You are registering to the community of interest database of the YouCount project.

The name and details of your organization will be shared on the YouCount website. Your personal contact details will not be shared publicly.

PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

YouCount - EMPOWERING YOUTH AND COCREATING SOCIAL INNOVATIONS AND POLICYMAKING THROUGH YOUTH-FOCUSED CITIZEN SOCIAL SCIENCEproject (funded by EC programme H2020, Grant agreement ID: 101005931). Start date: 1 February 2021, End date: 31 January 2024.

YouCount aims to generate new knowledge and innovations to increase the social inclusion of youth at risk of exclusion across Europe through co-creative youth citizen social science. Youth (15 - 29 years) in nine European countries will participate as citizen scientists in case studies to explore positive drivers for social participation, employment, social belonging and citizenship. 

The project will create a model for social inclusion and develop policy briefs and educational materials (with customized tools and best practices) for youth citizen social science (Y-CSS) and evaluation of citizen social science (CSS) to be used by researchers, individuals and citizen groups.

The project includes four sub-studies: 

1) Development of a framework for Y-CSS together with a transdisciplinary consortium and multilevel platform of key experts and stakeholders in a European and international setting. The YouCount digital platform you are registering to is a part of this sub-study. 

2) Implementation of a multiple case study of Y-CSS projects in nine countries across Europe where over 900 young citizen scientists and nine local living labs will co-create innovations together. 

3) Mixed-methods evaluation of the outcomes and impact of the Y-CSS activities, and a multi-criteria assessment of the costs and benefits of Y-CSS, and 

4) Creation of social and scientific impact through widespread scaling up and continuity. These activities will lead to robust knowledge and scientifically reasoned measures to promote Y-CSS and social change. The project will support dissemination and education in Y-CSS, and make synergies with other CSS related projects and initiatives, in particularly with citizen social science.

The project is coordinated by OSLOMET - STORBYUNIVERSITETET (Norway), and the Principal Investigator is Reidun Norvoll. The community of interest database of YouCount project is curated by Kaunas University of Technology.

Welcome to the YouCount project!

You are invited to take part in the YouCount project as a young citizen scientist exploring social inclusion for young people! We would here like to provide you with information about the project, who can participate and what the participation will involve.

Purpose of YouCount and the app study

The YouCount App study is part of the larger YouCount project founded by the European Commission and running from February 2021 to January 2024.

The aim of the YouCount project is to develop new knowledge and innovations to increase the social inclusion of youth through youth citizen social science where young people participate as young citizen scientists (co-researchers). The young citizen scientists work together with professional researchers in teams and/or supply observations of their experiences with social inclusion in their daily life in the YouCount app.

The YouCount project includes local projects with young people in nine European countries – Austria, Denmark, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the UK – focusing on different aspects of social inclusion such as opportunities for social participation in social/work life, sense of social belonging to a place or other people, or active citizenship through the ability to influence policymaking or your community.

In the project, we use many different data collection methods such as interviews and workshops involving smaller groups of young people. In addition, we have created the “YouCount app” together with youths and the EU based SPOTTERON Citizen Science platform (www.spotteron.net) who is also a project partner. The App study can strengthen the voices of young people, help us to understand more about the possibilities and challenges young people face and to find possible solutions in each country as well as across Europe.

You can find more information about YouCount on the project’s website: ☛ YouCount - Social Citizen Science (youcountproject.eu)

Why are you asked to participate?

Because you are between 13 and 29 years old and have shown interest in expressing your views and experiences with social inclusion in the YouCount project in one of the nine European countries, or by opening the YouCount App.

Who can participate in the app study?

We invite young people aged 13-29 to take part in the project. Due to legal restrictions for research differing between the nine participating European countries, the following groups are invited:

• Group 1: youth between 16- and 29-years old living in Austria, Denmark, Hungary, Norway, Spain, Sweden, or the UK.
• Group 2: youth between 18- and 29-years old living in Italy or Lithuania.

If you are 13-15 years old in group 1 or 13-17 years in group 2, you can only participate in the app study in agreement with the responsible researcher Julie Ridley (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and if you present a written parental/guardian consent including the e-mail address you use to sign up to the platform. The e-mail address is only because we need to be able to link parents and the youth to document the consent. You can still keep the pseudonym you choose to use in the app to yourself.

Who is responsible for the research project?

The project involves 11 partners from the nine countries in Europe. Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet) is coordinator and responsible for the whole project and the app- study in a joint responsibility agreement with the partners.

The other partners are the following:

• The University of Central Lancashire (UK)
• Vetenskap & Allmänhet (Sweden)
• Södertörn University Stockholm (Sweden)
• Universität Wien (Austria)
• ESSRG Environmental Social Science Research Group (Hungary)
• Aalborg University (Denmark)
• Kaunas University of Technology (Lithuania)
• Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II (Italy)
• Foundation Deusto (Spain)
• SPOTTERON Citizen Science Platform

The first ten partners are responsible for the research and processing of data. SPOTTERON is only processing the project-specific data collected in the YouCount app on behalf of the consortium, except from the data you provided when signing up to the SPOTTERON platform, for which SPOTTERON has their own legal basis for processing (ref. their Terms of Use).

What does participation involve for you?

First, you sign up to the SPOTTERON platform with your country, date-of-birth, e-mail account and self- made username (pseudonym). The platform is available in Apple’s app store, Google Play, or via the web-application on the YouCount website. In the project app, you need to choose a pseudonym as username. If you like, you can make a non-identifiable image linked to your profile but remember that it must not show your face or in any other way reveal your or others’ identity.

Then, you can use the App to spot the place you are at the interactive map and record your observations, experiences and opportunities related to social inclusion for young people, answer questions and supply images and text. Moreover, you can give feedback to other participating youths and engage in discussions with them. You may also be invited to participate in future studies in the YouCount project through the app. There are also opportunities to make some statistical analysis for all app users.

However, you can decide how much information you share. There are possibilities to revoke access to the location service via your device, and to hide spots, location, and observations for the public in the app. You can also choose to go to another public place and provide your comments from there.

The data you provide will be used by the local and Europe-based research teams to make statistics or content analyses of the text to learn more about positive drivers of social inclusion for young people and possible solutions to challenges for youths.

What are the risks and benefits of participation?

By participating in the App study, you can learn more about social inclusion and the experiences of other young people. You also get the opportunity to voice your own experiences and to participate in other parts of the project.

No physical, social, economic, psychological or legal harm is anticipated in this research.

Please note that the YouCount app is an interactive open social media app. Therefore, please think carefully about the kind of information that you submit about yourself or others and be aware that the data may be reused by others. As for all social media platforms, there may be a risk of improper or unpleasant content. The researchers will therefore constantly monitor the app during the project period. In addition, you can always report occurrences either in the app itself (by flagging or blocking other users or content). Please always get in contact with the project’s research team if you experience any misconduct.

BUT: If you do not use your real name, but a secret pseudonym, and do not upload personal information making you directly or indirectly recognisable, the other users of the app will not know your identity.

Participation is voluntary

Participation in the project is completely voluntary. You can freely choose if, when and how you want to contribute. You can always choose yourself whether you want to share or hide map coordinates, or completely hide a contribution from others. This way, only administrator and moderator users can see your uploaded spot and content.

You can also easily withdraw from the study by removing your user account or personal data from the app and ask your local researcher to delete possibly exported personal data from the project’s research database. Your personal data will consequently be deleted from the SPOTTERON database at the next data update. There will be no negative consequences for you if you choose not to participate or later decide to withdraw.

How will the data be handled?

We will only use your personal data for the purpose(s) specified in this information letter. We will process your personal data confidentially and in accordance with data protection legislation (the General Data Protection Regulation and Personal Data Act called GDPR).

Only SPOTTERON will have access to and store your personal name, date of birth and e-mail account. The personal data you provided for your user account when signing up to the platform will be stored securely at the platform. The research teams will only have access to pseudonymised data.

Each partner institution will appoint one researcher that will be responsible to export (copy) pseudonymised data files from the SPOTTERON platform. The copied data files will be stored in a confidential and secure way at the responsible institution UCLan using password protected computer systems. The data will be processed and analysed by the local research team and the cross-case research team comprising researchers from EU countries, and two countries outside EU (Norway and the UK).

Parts of the pseudonymised data (statistics, images, and text field) will be used in publications and presentations, and as information to the public without disclosing your identity.

What will happen to your personal data at the end of the research project?

To allow others to learn from the project and how an app for citizen social science can look like, the app will be open for the public at the SPOTTERON platform until 31 December 2024. Then SPOTTERON will delete the content and personal user information within 14 days from the app.

You are welcome to participate in other Citizen Science projects with your user account, available on the platform. If you decide to delete your user account data, you can do that anytime directly within the YouCount App without any delay. To do so, navigate to the settings panel via the main menu, where you can find the interface for a complete deletion of your personal data. After entering your password and confirmation, all data is instantly erased. This is permanent and cannot be reversed.

When the project ends, the researchers will anonymise all the data for future analysis and publications.

What gives us the right to process your personal data?

We will process your personal data based on your consent. In the UK the lawful basis for processing personal data for research purposes will be that the processing is necessary for a task carried out in the public interest (Article 6(1)(e) UK GDPR).

Based on an agreement with OsloMet, Data Protection Services (Sikt) has assessed that the processing of personal data in this project is in accordance with data protection legislation.

Your rights

As long as you can be identified in the collected data, you have the right to:

• access your personal data that is being processed
• request that your personal data is deleted
• request that incorrect personal data is corrected/rectified
• receive a copy of your personal data (data portability), and
• Send a complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office regarding the processing of your child´s personal data by calling 0303 123 1113

Studiet af YouCount Appen er en del af det større YouCount projekt oprettet af Europa-Kommissionen og løber fra februar 2021 til januar 2024.

Målet for YouCount projektet er at udvikle ny viden og innovationer, der kan øge den sociale inklusion af unge gennem Youth Citizen Science, hvor unge deltager som unge medforskere (co-researchers). De unge medforksere vil arbejde sammen med professionelle forskere i teams og/eller levere observationer af deres erfaringer med social inklusion i deres dagligdag gennem YouCount appen.

Projektet inkluderer lokale projekter med unge mennesker i ni Europæiske lande – Østrig, Danmark, Ungarn, Italien, Litauen, Norge, Spanien, Sverige og UK – der alle fokuserer på forskellige aspekter af social inklusion som muligheder for social deltagelsei dit arbejds- og sociale liv, en følelse af socialt tilhørsforholdtil et sted eller andre mennesker eller aktivt medborgerskabgennem muligheden for at influere lokalsamfundet.

I projektet anvender vi forskellige metoder til at indsamle data, dette er metoder som: Interviews og workshops, der involverer mindre grupper af unge mennesker. Desuden har vi sammen med unge og den EU baseret SPOTTERON Citizen Science platform (www.spotteron.net), der også af partner af projektet, skabt ”YouCount appen”. App-studiet kan styrke de unges stemme, og hjælpe os med at forstå mere om mulighederne og udfordringerne som unge mennesker møder og finde mulige løsninger i hvert enkelt land såvel som på tværs af Europa

Du kan finde mere information om YouCount projektet på projektets hjemmeside: ☛ YouCount - Social Citizen Science (youcountproject.eu)

Hvorfor er du blevet spurgt, om du vil deltage?

Da du er mellem 13 og 29 år og har vist interesse for at dele dine syn og oplevelser med social inklusion, med YouCount projektet i ét af de ni Europæiske lande, eller ved at åbne YouCount Appen.

Hvem kan deltage i App-studiet?

Vi inviterer unge mennesker I alderen 13-29 år til at deltage i projektet. Grundet forskellige lovmæssige begrænsninger mellem de ni deltagende Europæiske lande er følgende grupper inviteret:

• Gruppe 1: Unge mellem 16- og 29 år, der lever i Østrig, Danmark, Ungarn, Norge, Spanien, Sverige eller UK
• Gruppe 2: Unge mellem 18- og 29 år, der lever i Italien eller Litauen.

Hvis du er mellem 13-15 år i gruppe 1 eller 13-17 år i gruppe 2, så kan du kun deltage i App-studiet i enighed med den ansvarlige forsker Cathrine Winther (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) i Danmark, og hvis du fremviser et forældre/værge underskrevet samtykke med den e-mailadresse, du har brugt til at tilmelde dig appen. E-maiadressen er udelukkende grundet, at vi skal kunne forbinde forældrene til den unge for at kunne dokumentere samtykket. Du kan stadig selv vælge det pseudonym, du ønsker at anvende i appen.

Hvem er ansvarlig for forskningsprojektet?

Projektet involverer 11 partnere for de ni Europæiske lande. Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet) er koordinator og ansvarlig for hele projektet og app-studiet er i et delt ansvar med projektets partnere.

De andre partnere er følgende:

• The University of Central Lancashire (UK)
• Vetenskap Allmänhet (Sweden)
• Södertörn University Stockholm (Sweden)
• Universität Wien (Austria)
• ESSRG Environmental Social Science Research Group (Hungary)
• Aalborg University (Denmark)
• Kaunas University of Technology (Lithuania)
• Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II (Italy)
• Foundation Deusto (Spain)
• SPOTTERON Citizen Science Platform

De første ti partnere er ansvarlige for forskningen og behandlingen af data. SPOTTERON behandler kun projekt-specifikt data, der indsamles i YouCount appen på vegne af konsortiet, undtagen de data, du har givet ved tilmelding til SPOTTERON-platformen, som SPOTTERON har deres eget juridiske grundlag for at behandle (jf. deres brugsvilkår).

Hvad involverer det at deltage for dig?

For det første tilmelder du dig SPOTTERON platformen med dit land, fødselsdato, e-mailadresse og et selvopfundet brugernavn (pseudonym). Platformen er tilgængelig i Appels App Store, Google Play eller via web-appen på YouCounts hjemmeside. I projektets app skal du vælge et pseudonym som brugernavn. Hvis du vil, kan du vælge et ikke identificerbart profilbillede, men husk at det ikke må vise dit ansigt eller på andre måder afsløre din eller andres identitet.

Herefter kan du anvende appen til at spotte, det sted, hvor du befinder dig på det interaktive kort og beskrive dine observationer, oplevelser og muligheder der er for social inklusion af unge mennesker, svare på spørgsmål og tilføje billeder og tekst. Herudover kan du også give feedback til andre deltagende unge og deltage i diskussioner med dem. Du kan også få muligheden for at blive inviteret til andre fremtidige studier i YouCount projektet gennem appen. Der er også mulighed for at lave nogle statiske analyser for alle app-brugere.

Under alle omstændigheder kan du selv vælge, hvor meget information du vil dele. Der er muligheder for at tilbagekalde adgangen til din lokationstjeneste på din enhed og gennem spots, lokationer og observationer for andre i appen. Du kan også vælge at gå til et andet offentligt sted og angive dine kommentarer derfra.

Den data du tilføjer vil blive anvendt af det lokale Europæiske forskerteam til at lave statistikker eller analysere tekst for at lære mere om positive drivkræfter og mulige løsninger på udfordringer for unge.

Hvilke risici og fordele er der ved at deltage?

Ved deltagelse i app-studiet kan du lære mere om social inklusion og andre unge menneskers erfaringer og oplevelser. Du får også muligheden for at sætte ord på dine egne oplevelser og at deltage i andre dele af projektet

Der er ingen forventet fysik-, social-, økonomisk-, psykologisk- eller lovligskade forbundet med denne forskning.

Bemærk venligst at YouCount appen er et interaktivt og åbent socialt medie. Overvej af den grund grundigt hvilken information om dig selv eller andre du gør tilgængelig, da dataen kan blive brugt af andre brugere. Som ved alle sociale medie platforme vil der være en risiko for upassende eller ubehageligt indhold. Forskerne vil af den grund konstant monitorere appen gennem hele projektets forløb. Desuden kan du altid rapportere hændelser enten i selve appen (ved at markere eller blokere andre brugeres indhold). Vær venlig altid at tage kontakt til projektets forskningsteam, hvis du oplever nogen form for dårlig adfærd.

MEN: Hvis du ikke oplyser dit rigtige navn, men et hemmeligt pseudonym og ikke uploader personlig information, der gør dig direkte eller indirekte identificerbar, vil de andre brugere af appen ikke kende til din identitet.

Deltagelse er frivilligt

Deltagelsen i projektet i komplet frivillig. Du kan frit vælge hvor og hvordan du vil deltage. Du kan altid selv vælge om du vil dele eller gemme dine kortkoordinator for andre eller gemme et bidrag for andre. På denne måde er det kun administratorer og moderatere, der kan se hvilket indhold og spots du uploader.

Du kan også nemt trække dig tilbage fra studiet ved at fjerne din bruger eller personlige data fra appen og spørge din lokale forsker om at slette muligt personlig data fra projektets research database. Din personlige data vil konsekvent blive slettet fra SPOTTERON databasen ved den næste dataopdatering. Der vil ikke være nogen negative konsekvenser, hvis du vælger ikke at deltage eller senere beslutter dig for at trække dig ud.

Hvordan vil dataen blive behandlet?

Vi vil kun anvende din personlige data til formålet/formålene beskrevet i dette brev. Vi vil behandle din data med fortrolighed og i overensstemmelse persondataloven (Genreral Data Protection and Pesonal Data act også kaldt GDPR).

Kun SPOTTERON vil have adgang til at opbevare dit private navn, fødselsdato og e-mailadresse. Den personlige data du angiver for din personlige bruger, når du oprettere dig på appen vil blive gemt sikkert på platformen. Forskerteamsne vil kun have adgang til den pseudonyme data.

Hver institutions partner vil udpege en forsker, der vil være ansvarlig for at eksporterer (kopier) det pseudonyme data fra SPOTTERON platformen. Den kopieret data vil blive gemt på en fortrolig og sikker måde ved institutionen Aalborg Universitet ved brug af et computer adgangskode sikkerhedssystem. Dataen vil blive behandlet og analyseret af det lokale forskerteam og det tværgående forskningsteam bestående af forskere fra forskellige EU-lande og to lande udenfor EU (Norge og UK).

Dele af den pseudonyme data (statistik, billeder og tekstfelt) vil blive brugt i publikationer og præsentationer, og som information til offentligheden uden at oplyse din identitet.

Hvad vil der ske med dine personlige data i slutningen af forskningsprojektet?

For at give andre muligheden for at lære af projektet, og hvordan en app for Citizen science kan se ud, vil appen være åben for offentligheden på SPOTTERON platformen indtil 31. december 2024. Herefter vil SPOTTERON slette indhold og personlig brugerinformation på appen indenfor 14 dage.

Du er velkommen til at deltage i andre Citizen science projekter der er tilgængelige på platformen med din bruger. Hvis du beslutter at slette din brugers data, kan du gøre dette til enhver tid direkte i YouCount-appen uden nogen forsinkelse. For at gøre dette, skal du gå til indstillingspanelet via hovedmenuen, hvor kan finde kontaktfladen til en fuldstændig sletning af dine personlige data. Efter du har skrevet din adgangskode og godkendt, vil dataen øjeblikligt blive slettet. Dette er permanet og kan ikke gøres om.

Når projektet slutter, vil forskerne anonymisere alt dataen for fremtidig analyse og publikationer.

Hvad giver os retten til at behandle dine personlige data?

Vi vil behandle dine personlige data på baggrund af dit samtykke.

Baseret på en enighed i vurdering af behandlingen af personoplysninger mellem OsloMet og Data Protection Services (Sikt), er dette projekt i overensstemmelse med databeskyttelseslovgivningen.

Dine rettigheder

Så længe du kan identificeres i den indsamlede data, så har du krav på:

• adgang til din personlige data, der bliver behandlet
• anmode om at få dine personlige data slettet
• anmode om at få rettet/korrigeret in korrekte personlige data

¡Bienvenido/a al proyecto YouCount!

¡Estás invitado/a a participar en el proyecto YouCount como un(a) joven científico/a ciudadano/a que explora la inclusión social de las personas jóvenes! Aquí nos gustaría brindarte información sobre el proyecto, quién puede participar y qué implicará la participación.

Propósito de YouCount y del estudio de la aplicación

El estudio de la YouCount App es parte del proyecto YouCount más amplio financiado por la Comisión Europea y que se lleva a cabo desde febrero de 2021 hasta enero de 2024.

El objetivo del proyecto YouCount es desarrollar nuevo conocimiento e innovaciones para aumentar la inclusión social de las personas jóvenes a través de la ciencia social ciudadana juvenil donde las personas jóvenes participan como jóvenes científicos/as ciudadanos/as (co-investigadores/as). Los jóvenes científicos ciudadanos trabajan junto con investigadores profesionales en equipos y/o proporcionan observaciones de sus experiencias con la inclusión social en su vida diaria en la aplicación YouCount.

El proyecto YouCount incluye proyectos locales con jóvenes en nueve países europeos (Austria, Dinamarca, Hungría, Italia, Lituania, Noruega, España, Suecia y el Reino Unido) que se centran en diferentes aspectos de la inclusión social, como las oportunidades de participación social en la vida social y la vida laboral, sentido de pertenencia social a un lugar o a otras personas, o ciudadanía activa a través de la capacidad de influir en la formulación de políticas o en tu comunidad.

En el proyecto, utilizamos muchos métodos diferentes de recopilación de datos, como entrevistas y talleres en los que participan grupos más pequeños de jóvenes. Además, hemos creado la "aplicación YouCount" junto con las personas jóvenes y la plataforma de ciencia ciudadana SPOTTERON con sede en la UE (www.spotteron.net), que también es socio del proyecto. El estudio de la aplicación puede fortalecer las voces de las personas jóvenes, ayudarnos a comprender mejor las posibilidades y los desafíos a los que se enfrentan las personas jóvenes y encontrar posibles soluciones en cada país y en toda Europa.

Puedes encontrar más información sobre YouCount en la web del Proyecto: ☛ YouCount - Social Citizen Science (youcountproject.eu)

¿Por qué se te pide que participes?

Porque tienes entre 13 y 29 años y has mostrado interés en expresar tus puntos de vista y experiencias con la inclusión social en el proyecto YouCount en uno de los nueve países europeos, o abriendo la aplicación YouCount.

¿Quién puede participar en el estudio de la aplicación?

Invitamos a jóvenes de 13 a 29 años a participar en el proyecto. Debido a las restricciones legales para la investigación que difieren entre los nueve países europeos participantes, se invita a los siguientes grupos:

• Grupo 1: jóvenes entre 16 y 29 años que viven en Austria, Dinamarca, Hungría, Noruega, España, Suecia o el Reino Unido.
• Grupo 2: jóvenes entre 18 y 29 años que viven en Italia o Lituania.

Si tienes entre 13 y 15 años en el grupo 1 o entre 13 y 17 años en el grupo 2, solo puedes participar en el estudio de la aplicación de acuerdo con el investigador responsable Asier Zafra (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) en España y si presentas un consentimiento por escrito de los progenitores o tutores/as, incluyendo la dirección de correo electrónico que utilizas para registrarte en la plataforma. La dirección de correo electrónico es solo porque necesitamos poder vincular a los progenitores y a la persona joven para documentar el consentimiento. Todavía puedes mantener el seudónimo que elijas usar en la aplicación para ti mismo/a.

¿Quién es el responsable del proyecto de investigación?

El proyecto involucra a 11 socios de los nueve países de Europa. La Universidad Metropolitana de Oslo (OsloMet) es la coordinadora y responsable de todo el proyecto y el estudio de la aplicación en un acuerdo de responsabilidad conjunta con los socios.

Los primeros diez socios son responsables de la investigación y el procesamiento de datos. SPOTTERON solo procesa los datos específicos del proyecto recopilados en la aplicación YouCount en nombre del consorcio, con excepción de los datos que proporcionaste al registrarte en la plataforma SPOTTERON, para los cuales SPOTTERON tiene su propia base legal para el procesamiento (ref. sus Términos de Uso).

¿Qué implica para ti la participación?

Primero, te registras en la plataforma SPOTTERON con tu país de residencia, fecha de nacimiento, cuenta de correo electrónico y nombre de usuario (seudónimo) creado por ti mismo/a. La plataforma está disponible en la tienda de aplicaciones de Apple, Google Play o mediante la aplicación web en el sitio web de YouCount. En la aplicación del proyecto, debes elegir un seudónimo como nombre de usuario. Si lo deseas, puedes vincular una imagen no identificable a tu perfil, pero recuerda que no debes mostrar tu rostro ni revelar tu identidad ni la de otras personas.

Luego, puede usar la aplicación para ubicar el lugar en el que te encuentras en el mapa interactivo y registrar tus observaciones, experiencias y oportunidades relacionadas con la inclusión social de las personas jóvenes, responder preguntas y proporcionar imágenes y texto. Además, puedes dar tu opinión a otras personas jóvenes participantes y entablar debates con ellas. También puede que seas invitado/a a participar en futuros estudios en el proyecto YouCount a través de la aplicación. También hay oportunidades para hacer algunos análisis estadísticos sobre todos los usuarios y usuarias de la aplicación.

Sin embargo, puedes decidir cuánta información compartes. Hay posibilidades de revocar el acceso al servicio de ubicación a través de tu dispositivo y ocultar lugares, ubicación y observaciones para el público en la aplicación. También puedes optar por ir a otro lugar público y proporcionar tus comentarios desde allí.

Los datos que proporciones serán utilizados por los equipos de investigación locales y europeos para realizar estadísticas o análisis de contenido del texto para obtener más información sobre los factores que favorecen la inclusión social de las personas jóvenes y sobre las posibles soluciones a los desafíos de las personas jóvenes.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos y beneficios de la participación?

Al participar en el estudio de la aplicación, puedes aprender más sobre la inclusión social y las experiencias de otras personas jóvenes. También tienes la oportunidad de expresar tus propias experiencias y participar en otras partes del proyecto.

No se prevé ningún daño físico, social, económico, psicológico o legal en esta investigación.

Benvenuto nel progetto YouCount!

Ti invitiamo a partecipare al Progetto YouCount come un giovane citizen scientist che esplora l’inclusione sociale dei giovani! Ti forniamo qui alcune informazioni sul progetto, su chi può parteciparvi e su cosa sia previsto dalla partecipazione.

Obiettivo di YouCount e dell’app

L’app YouCount viene usata per uno studio che fa parte del più ampio progetto YouCount, finanziato dalla Commissione Europea e con durata da Febbraio 2021 a Gennaio 2024.

L’obiettivo del progetto YouCount è lo sviluppo di nuova conoscenza ed innovazioni che favoriscano l’inclusione sociale dei giovani attraverso la citizen science, in cui I giovani possono partecipare come giovani citizen scientists (co-ricercatori). I giovani citizen scientists lavorano con I ricercatori professionisti nel team e/o forniscono osservazioni circa le loro esperienze di inclusion sociale nella loro vita quotidiana attraverso l’app YouCount.

Il progetto YouCount include progetti locali con i giovani di nove paesi Europei – Austria, Danimarca, Ungheria, Italia, Lituania, Norvegia, Spagna, Svezia, e Regno Unito – con focus su diversi aspetti dell’inclusione sociale come le opportunità di partecipazione sociale nella vita sociale/lavorativa, il senso di appartenenza ad un luogo o ad una comunità, o la cittadinanza attiva attraverso la capacità di influenzare le politiche o la propria comunità.

Nell’ambito del progetto, usiamo diversi metodi di raccolta dati, come interviste e workshops che coinvolgono gruppi più piccoli di giovani. In aggiunta, abbiamo creato l’app YouCount insieme ai giovani ed alla piattaforma europea di Citizen Science SPOTTERON (www.spotteron.net), che è a sua volta partner nel progetto. Lo studio che utilizza l’app può rafforzare le voci dei giovani, aiutarci a capire di più circa le opportunità e le sfide che affrontano ed a trovare possibili soluzioni in ogni paese e a livello Europeo.

Puoi trovare più informazioni su YouCount sul sito del progetto: ☛ YouCount - Social Citizen Science (youcountproject.eu)

Perchè ti chiediamo di partecipare?

Perchè hai tra i 13 ed i 29 anni ed hai mostrato interesse nell’esprimere il tuo punto di vista e le tue esperienze di inclusion sociale nel progetto YouCount in uno dei nove paesi europei coinvolti o attraverso l’apertura dell’app YouCount.

Chi può partecipare allo studio basato sull’uso dell’app?

Invitiamo i giovani con età compresa tra i 13 ed i 29 anni a partecipare al progetto. Poichè le restrizioni legali in merito al fare ricerca differiscono nei nove paesi europei coinvolgi, sono invitati i seguenti gruppi:

• Gruppo 1: giovani tra i 16 ed i 29 anni che vivano in Austria, Danimarca, Ungheria, Norvegia, Spagna, Svezia, o Regno Unito.
• Gruppo 2: giovani tra i 18 ed i 29 anni che vivano in Italia o in Lituania.

Se hai tra I 13 ed I 15 anni e fai parte del Gruppo 1 o tra I 13 ed I 17 e fai parte del Gruppo 2, puoi partecipare allo studio basato sull’uso dell’app in accordo con il ricercatore responsabile in Italia, Fortuna Procentese, e solo se presenti un consenso informato scritto, firmato da un genitore o tutore legale e che includa l’indirizzo e-mail che userai per iscriverti alla piattaforma. L’indirizzo e-mail serve soltanto perché abbiamo bisogno di poter collegare i genitori ed i giovani per documentare il consenso. Puoi comunque tenere per te lo pseudonimo che scegli di usare nell’app.

Chi è responsabile del progetto di ricerca?

Il progetto coinvolge undici partner da nove paesi Europei. Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet) è il coordinator ed il responsabile per l’intero progetto e per lo studio basato sull’uso dell’app, con un accordo di responsabilità congiunta con i partner.

Gli altri partner sono i seguenti:

• The University of Central Lancashire (Regno Unito)
• Vetenskap & Allmänhet (Svezia)
• Södertörn University Stockholm (Svezia)
• Universität Wien (Austria)
• ESSRG Environmental Social Science Research Group (Ungheria)
• Aalborg University (Danimarca)
• Kaunas University of Technology (Lituania)
• Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II (Italia)
• Foundation Deusto (Spagna)
• SPOTTERON Citizen Science

I primi dieci partner sono responsabili per la ricercar e l’uso dei dati. SPOTTERON elabora solo i dati specifici del progetto raccolti attraverso l’app YouCount per il consorzio, tranne i dati che fornisci quando ti iscrivi alla piattaforma SPOTTERON, per i quali SPOTTERON dispone di una propria base giuridica per l’elaborazione (cfr. le sue Condizioni d’Uso).

Cosa comporta per te la partecipazione?

Per prima cosa, ti iscrivi alla piattaforma SPOTTERON inserendo il tuo paese, la tua data di nascita, l’account e-email e un username creato da te (pseudonimo). La piattaforma è disponibili nell’app store Apple, in Google Play, o attraverso l’applicazione web sul sito YouCount. Nell’app, è necessario scegliere uno pseudonimo come username. Se hai piacere, puoi creare un’immagine non identificabile collegata al tuo profilo, ma ricorda che non deve mostrare la tua faccia o rivelare la tua identità o quella altrui in alcun modo.

In seguito, puoi usare l’app per individuare il luogo in cui ti trovi sulla mappa interattiva e registrar le tue osservazioni, esperienze ed opportunità legate all’inclusione sociale dei giovani, rispondere a domande e fornire immagini e testi. Inoltre, puoi dare feedback agli altri giovani partecipanti e partecipare a discussioni con loro. Potresti anche essere invitato a partecipare a studi futuri nell’ambito del Progetto YouCount attraverso l’app. C’è anche la possibilità di fare delle analisi statistiche per tutti gli utenti dell’app.

In ogni caso, puoi decidere tu quante informazioni condividere. C’è la possibilità di revocare l’accesso alla localizzazione attraverso il tuo dispositivo, di nascondere i luoghi, la localizzazione e le osservazioni al pubblico nell’app. puoi anche scegliere di andare in un altro luogo pubblico e fornire i tuoi commenti da là.

I dati che fornisci saranno usati dai team di ricercar locale ed europeo per fare analisi statistiche o di contenuto del testo, per conoscere meglio i fattori positive che favoriscono l’inclusione sociale dei giovani e le possibili soluzioni alle sfide che essi affrontano.

Quali sono i rischi ed i benefici della partecipazione?

Partecipando allo studio basato sull’uso dell’app, puoi conoscere meglio l’inclusione sociale e le esperienze degli altri giovani. Puoi anche avere l’opportunità di dar voce alle tue esperienze e partecipare in altre parti del progetto.

Questa ricerca non prevede alcun danno fisico, sociale, economico, psicologico o legale.

L’app YouCount è un’app aperta di social media. Dunque, pensa attentamente al tipo di informazione che invii su te o sugli altri e sii consapevole del fatto che i dati potrebbero essere riutilizzati da altri. Come in tutte le piattaforme di social media, ci potrebbe essere il rischio di contenuti impropri o sgradevoli. I ricercatori monitoreranno costantemente l’app durante il progetto. In aggiunta, puoi sempre segnalare eventi sull’app stessa (segnalando o bloccando utenti o contenuti). Contatta sempre il team di ricercar del progetto in caso di comportamenti scorretti.

MA: se non usi il tuo vero nome ma uno pseudonimo e non carichi informazioni personali che ti rendano direttamente o indirettamente riconoscibile, gli altri utenti non conosceranno la tua identità.

La partecipazione è volontaria

La partecipazione al progetto è completamente volontaria. Puoi liberamente decidere se, quando e come vuoi contribuire. Puoi sempre decidere se condividere o nascondere le coordinate sulla mappa, o nascondere completamente un contributo agli altri. In questo modo, solo gli utenti amministratori e moderatori potranno vedere i luoghi ed i contenuti che carichi.

Puoi anche facilmente ritirarti dallo studio rimuovendo il tuo account o I tuoi dati personali dall’app e chiedendo al ricercatore locale di cancellare i tuoi dati personali che potrebbero essere stati esportati dal database di ricerca del progetto. I tuoi dati personali saranno quindi cancellati dal database SPOTTERON all’aggiornamento successivo dei dati. Non ci saranno conseguenze negative per te se decidi di non partecipare o di ritirarti in un secondo momento.

Come saranno gestiti i dati?

Useremo I tuoi dati personali solo per gli scopi specificati in questa lettera informativa. Processeremo i tuoi dati in modo confidenziale e in accordo con la legislazione sulla protezione dei dati (il Regolamento Generale sulla Protezione dei Dati e dei Dati Personali chiamato GDPR).

Solo SPOTTERON avrà accesso al tuo nome, data di nascita ed account e-mail e conserverà tali dati. I dati personali che fornisci per il tuo account Utente quando ti registri alla piattaforma saranno conservati in modo sicuro presso la piattaforma. I team di ricerca avranno accesso soltanto ai dati con pseudonimi.

Ogni istituzione partner nominerà un ricercatore che sarà responsabile dell’esportazione (copia) di dei file contenenti i dati con pseudonimi dalla piattaforma SPOTTERON. I file di dati copiati saranno conservati in modo confidenziale e sicuro presso l’istituzione responsabile, Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, utilizzando sistemi computerizzati protetti da password. I dati saranno processati e analizzati dai team di ricercar locali e dal team di ricercar trasversale ai casi, che comprende ricercatori dai paesi europei e da due paesi non europei (Norvegia e Regno Unito).

Parti dei dati con pseudonimi (statistiche, immagini, e campi di testo) saranno usati in pubblicazioni e presentazioni e come informazioni per il pubblico, senza rivelare la vostra identità.

Cosa accadrà ai tuoi dati personali al termine del progetto di ricerca?

Per consentire agli altri di apprendere dal progetto e come può essere un’app per la citizen science, l’app rimarrà aperta al pubblico sulla piattaforma SPOTTERON fino al 31 dicembre 2024. In seguito, SPOTTERON cancellerà i contenuti e le informazioni personali degli utenti dall’app entro 14 giorni.

Sei invitato a partecipare ad altri progetti di citizen science disponibili sulla piattaforma con il tuo account utente. Se decidi di cancellare i dati del tuo account, puoi farlo in qualsiasi momento direttamente all’interno dell’app YouCount senza alcun ritardo. Per farlo, vai nel pannello delle impostazioni attraverso il menu principale, dove potrai trovare l’interfaccia per la cancellazione completa dei tuoi dati personali. Dopo aver inserito la password ed aver confermato, tutti i dati saranno cancellati istantaneamente. Questa azione è definitiva e non può essere annullata.

Quando il progetto finisce, i ricercatori anonimizzeranno tutti i dati per le future analisi e pubblicazioni.

Cosa ci da il diritto di trattare i tuoi dati?

Tratteremo I tuoi dati personali in base al tuo consenso.

In base ad un accordo con OsloMet, i servizi di protezione dei dati (Sikt) hanno valutato che il trattamento dei dati personali in questo progetto avviene in accordo con la legislazione sulla protezione dei dati.

Välkommen till YouCount-projektet!

Du är inbjuden att delta i YouCount-projektet som en ung medborgarforskare, och utforska social inkludering för unga människor! Här får du information om projektet, vem som kan delta och vad deltagandet kommer att innebära.

Syftet med YouCount och appstudien

YouCounts appstudie är en del av det större YouCount-projektet som grundades av Europeiska kommissionen och pågår från februari 2021 till januari 2024.

Syftet med YouCount-projektet är att utveckla kunskap och innovationer för att öka ungdomars sociala inkludering. Detta görs genom medborgarforskning, där unga medborgarforskare samarbetar med professionella forskare och använder YouCount-appen för att bidra med observationer och erfarenheter kring social inkludering i sin vardag.

YouCount-projektet inkluderar lokala projekt med ungdomar i nio europeiska länder – Österrike, Danmark, Ungern, Italien, Litauen, Norge, Spanien, Sverige och Storbritannien – med fokus på olika aspekter av social inkludering, såsom möjligheter till deltagande i arbetsliv eller socialt liv, känsla av social tillhörighet till en plats eller andra människor, och aktivt medborgarskap genom möjligheten att påverka beslutsfattande i lokalsamhället.

I projektet använder vi flera olika metoder för datainsamling, såsom intervjuer och workshops med ungdomar i mindre grupper. Dessutom har vi skapat “YouCount-appen” tillsammans med ungdomar och SPOTTERONs EU-baserade medborgarforskningsplattform (www.spotteron.net), som också är projektpartner. Appstudien kan hjälpa unga människor att höja sina röster, hjälpa oss att förstå mer om de möjligheter och utmaningar som unga människor står inför, och hitta möjliga lösningar både för de länder som deltar i projektet och resten av Europa.

Du kan hitta mer information om YouCount på projektets webbplats: ☛ YouCount - Social Citizen Science (youcountproject.eu)

Varför blir du ombedd att delta?

För att du är mellan 13–29 år och har visat intresse för att uttrycka dina åsikter kring social inkludering i YouCount-projektet i något av de nio europeiska länderna, eller genom att öppna YouCount-appen.

Vem kan delta i appstudien?

Vi bjuder in ungdomar i åldrarna 13–29 att delta i projektet. På grund av juridiska restriktioner för forskning som skiljer sig åt mellan de nio europeiska länderna, är följande grupper inbjudna:

• Grupp 1: ungdomar mellan 16–29 år som bor i Österrike, Danmark, Ungern, Norge, Spanien, Sverige eller Storbritannien.
• Grupp 2: ungdomar mellan 18–29 år som bor i Italien eller Litauen.

Om du är 13–15 år i grupp 1 eller 13–17 år i grupp 2 kan du endast delta i appstudien i samförstånd med de svenska YouCount-forskarna Martin Bergman (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), Tomas Kjellqvist (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) eller Ann Mutvei Berrez (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), samt med skriftligt samtycke från föräldrar/vårdnadshavare, inklusive den e-postadress som du använder för att registrera dig på plattformen. Mejladressen används enbart för att kunna koppla ihop föräldrar/vårdnadshavare och ungdomen för att dokumentera samtycket. Du kan fortfarande välja att hålla ditt pseudonym i appen för dig själv.

Vem är ansvarig för forskningsprojektet?

I projektet deltar 11 partners från de nio länderna i Europa. Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet) är koordinator och ansvarigt för projektet och appstudien i ett gemensamt ansvarsavtal med övriga partners.

Övriga partners är:

• The University of Central Lancashire (Storbritannien)
• Vetenskap & Allmänhet (Sverige)
• Södertörns högskola Stockholm (Sverige)
• Universität Wien (Österrike)
• ESSRG Environmental Social Science Research Group (Ungern)
• Aalborg University (Danmark)
• Kaunas University of Technology (Litauen)
• Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II (Italien)
• Foundation Deusto (Spanien)
• SPOTTERON Citizen Science

Projektets första tio partners ansvarar för forskning och databearbetning. SPOTTERON behandlar bara de projektspecifika uppgifter som samlas in i YouCount-appen på uppdrag av konsortiet, utöver de uppgifter som du gav när du registrerade dig på SPOTTERON-plattformen, för vilka SPOTTERON har sin egen rättsliga grund för behandling (se deras användarvillkor).

Vad innebär deltagande för dig?

Först registrerar du dig på SPOTTERON-plattformen genom att ange ditt land, födelsedatum, e-postadress och ett användarnamn (pseudonym). Plattformen är tillgänglig i Apple App Store, Google Play, eller via webbapplikationen på YouCounts webbplats. I projektappen måste du välja en pseudonym som användarnamn. Om du vill kan du koppla en icke-identifierbar bild till din profil, men kom ihåg att den inte får visa ditt ansikte eller på annat sätt avslöja din eller andras identitet.

Därefter kan du använda den interaktiva kartan i appen för att leta upp platsen du befinner dig på, registrera dina observationer, upplevelser och möjligheter relaterade till ungas sociala inkludering, svara på frågor och lägga upp bilder och text. Dessutom kan du ge feedback till andra ungdomar och delta i diskussioner med dem. Du kan också bli inbjuden att delta i framtida studier i YouCount-projektet via appen. Det finns även möjligheter att göra en del statistisk analys för alla appanvändare.

Du kan bestämma hur mycket information du delar. Det finns möjligheter att stänga av appens åtkomst till din enhets platstjänst, och att dölja observationer för övriga appanvändare. Du kan också välja att gå till en annan offentlig plats och dela dina kommentarer och observationer därifrån.

Uppgifterna du delar kommer att användas av de nationella och europeiska forskarteamen för att ta fram statistik eller göra innehållsanalyser, i syfte att utveckla kunskap om positiva drivkrafter för ungas sociala inkludering och möjliga lösningar på ungas utmaningar.

Vilka är riskerna och fördelarna med att delta?

Genom att delta i appstudien kan du lära dig mer om social inkludering och andra ungas erfarenheter. Du får även möjlighet att uttrycka dina egna erfarenheter och att delta i andra delar av projektet.

Ingen fysisk, social, ekonomisk, psykologisk eller juridisk skada förväntas i forskningsprojektet..

Vänligen observera att YouCount-appen är en interaktiv och öppen app. Tänk därför noga igenom vilken typ av information du delar om dig själv och andra och var medveten om att uppgifterna kan återanvändas av andra. Precis som för alla öppna sociala medieplattformar finns en risk för olämpligt eller obehagligt innehåll. Forskarna kommer därför kontinuerligt att övervaka appen under projektperioden. Dessutom kan du alltid rapportera incidenter i appen (genom att flagga eller blockera andra användare eller innehåll). Ta alltid kontakt med den svenska forskargruppen om du upplever att någon missköter sig i appen.

MEN: Om du använder en hemlig pseudonym istället för ditt riktiga namn, och inte laddar upp personlig information som gör dig direkt eller indirekt igenkännbar, så kommer inte andra användare kunna ta reda på din identitet.

Deltagande är frivilligt

Deltagande i projektet är helt frivilligt. Du kan själv välja om, när och hur du vill bidra. Du kan alltid själv välja om du vill dela eller dölja kartkoordinater, eller helt dölja en observation från andra användare. På så sätt kan endast administratörer och moderatorer se innehållet och platsen för din uppladdning.

Du kan också enkelt dra dig ur studien genom att ta bort ditt användarkonto eller personuppgifter från appen och be en av forskarna att radera eventuella exporterade personuppgifter från projektets forskningsdatabas. Dina personuppgifter kommer då att raderas från SPOTTERON-databasen vid nästa uppdatering. Det innebär inga negativa konsekvenser för dig om du väljer att inte delta eller senare beslutar dig för att dra dig ur studien.

Hur kommer data att hanteras?

Vi kommer endast att använda dina personuppgifter för de ändamål som anges i detta informationsbrev. Vi kommer att behandla dina personuppgifter konfidentiellt och i enlighet med dataskyddsförordningen (General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR).

Endast SPOTTERON kommer att ha tillgång till och lagra ditt namn, födelsedatum och e-postadress. De personuppgifter du angav för ditt användarkonto när du registrerade dig på plattformen kommer att lagras säkert på plattformen. Forskargrupperna kommer endast att ha tillgång till pseudonymiserad data.

Varje partner kommer att utse en forskare som ansvarar för att exportera (kopiera) pseudonymiserade datafiler från SPOTTERON-plattformen. De kopierade filerna kommer att lagras på ett konfidentiellt och säkert sätt på de båda ansvariga institutionerna Vetenskap & Allmänhet och Södertörns Högskola, genom lösenordsskyddade datorsystem. Data kommer att bearbetas och analyseras av det svenska forskarteamet och av en större arbetsgrupp som består av forskare från EU-länder och två länder utanför EU (Norge och Storbritannien).

Delar av den pseudonymiserade informationen (statistik, bilder och text) kommer att användas i publikationer, presentationer och som information till allmänheten, utan att avslöja din identitet.

Vad kommer att hända med dina personuppgifter när forskningsprojektet är över?

För att andra ska kunna lära sig av projektet och hur en medborgarforskningsapp kan se ut kommer appen att vara öppen för allmänheten på SPOTTERON-plattformen fram till den 31 december 2024. Då raderar SPOTTERON innehållet och all personlig användarinformation från appen inom 14 dagar.

Du är välkommen att delta i andra medborgarforskningsprojekt med ditt användarkonto. Om du vill radera dina användardata kan du göra det när som helst direkt i YouCount-appen, utan fördröjning. För att radera användardata navigerar du till inställningssidan via huvudmenyn, där du hittar möjligheten att radera alla dina personuppgifter. Efter att ha angett ditt lösenord och bekräftat valet raderas all data omedelbart. Detta är permanent och kan inte ändras.

När projektet avslutas anonymiseras all data för framtida analyser och publikationer.

Vad ger oss rätt att behandla dina personuppgifter?

Vi kommer att behandla dina personuppgifter baserat på ditt samtycke.

Data Protection Services (Sikt) har utifrån ett avtal med OsloMet bedömt att behandlingen av personuppgifter i YouCount-projektet är i enlighet med dataskyddsförordningen.

Dina rättigheter

Så länge du kan identifieras genom de insamlade uppgifterna har du rätt att:

• komma åt dina personuppgifter
• begära att dina personuppgifter raderas
• begära att felaktiga personuppgifter rättas
• få en kopia av dina personuppgifter
• skicka ett klagomål till dataskyddsombudet eller den norska dataskyddsmyndigheten angående behandlingen av dina personuppgifter
