3. Categories of data processed

We process your name, email address, and date of birth.

Additional data processed during the experimental sessions:

  • data on language history (age of acquisition, length of exposure, language proficiency and use) through a questionnaire,
  • data on comprehension of sentences (response accuracy) and reaction times (looking times in milliseconds)
  • audio recordings of sentence productions

4. Purpose and scope of data processing

As part of the research project Processing and Production in Heritage Speakers: The Role of Disambiguating Cues (Grant Agreement number: 101026216 — ProHeritageSpeakers — H2020-MSCA-IF-2020) at the University of Konstanz, the processing and production of sentences in monolingual and bilingual children and adults is investigated. This includes information on language history in a questionnaire, data on comprehension and production of sentences and also their reaction times. Such information is necessary for the implementation of the research project; without this information, participation in the research project is not possible. There are no disadvantages in the event of non-participation.

We process your email to contact you again, if necessary, in case of queries for the study in question. As a rule, however, queries are rarely necessary. You will not suffer any disadvantages if you cannot be reached for queries.

We process your name and date of birth as proof of payment for participation in the study and in line with the obligation to keep records and other supporting documentation in order to prove the proper implementation of the project and the costs it declares as eligible as per Article 18 of GA Number 101026216 — ProHeritageSpeakers — H2020-MSCA-IF-2020.
