Privacy Statement

This website has been designed for use by students at the University of Exeter during the delivery of education.

Collection of Information
We will collect and store your name and University of Exeter IT account details to create a FieldSite user account for identification within the activities, such as the forum. No personal information held by the University is accessible through this website and we will not share your data with any third parties. This platform is not linked to any University sites used for assessment such as eBART or the VLE. Profile information is stored for the duration of your time as a student at the University of Exeter to allow you to access the researchers throughout your degree.

Cookies
Cookies may be used within your browser when you enter and work within this platform. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer’s hard drive to help us monitor the use of our website and provide access to certain features. A cookie does not identify the individual - only the computer used; it does not give us access to your computer. Cookies enable us to provide you with a better experience of our website. The University uses cookies to track user behaviour, improve and personalise the services we offer and remember previous actions (eg. which tasks have been completed already).

Web log files
In common with most websites, we automatically log certain information about every visit to the site. This includes your IP address* and information relating to your requests from our servers, for example, date and time, referrer, user agent (browser), request type, and details of request size. This information is anonymous unless you have logged in to a secure area of the site using an identifying username and password. The information is used to help us manage the website (eg detecting bugs) and where necessary to investigate potential computer misuse or breaches in University regulations. Under normal circumstances these log files will only be accessed by authorised members of staff, however we do have a legal obligation to make our log files available to external authorities such as the Police when requested.

*An IP address is a unique number or address given to every computer or device when it connects to a network allowing it to be identified and communicated with.

Beta?

FieldSite is currently in beta. If you’re seeing this then you are one of the first people to use this site. That means you have the chance to help us shape it into the platform you need it to be.
