General
Yes, parents are always present when their child is being tested.
Yes, you can pull out of the study at any point in time.
When we make an appointment with you we will let you know if video recordings will be made. If you prefer that no recording be made, you can let us know.
Unfortunately, we only look at the results of the group of children as a whole. Therefore, we are unable to inform you on individual results. We do however post the results of our studies on our Instagram, Facebook and our newsletter (in Dutch).
No. The tests that we do for our research are not suitable for detecting developmental problems in your child, so we are unable to give this kind of information.
For most studies you can choose a gift for your child or a small amount of money (approx. 10 euro). Unfortunately we cannot reimburse travel expenses.
For some studies, these rules do not apply. In that case you will be informed upon invitation.

About your personal data
Collaboration with municipalities
The Baby & Child Research Center collaborates with several municipalities in the province of Gelderland. From them, we receive the addresses of all parents who recently had a baby. The municipalities may provide us with this information for the purpose of scientific research.
Information letter
We use the addresses only for sending you a one-time information letter about our research center. We only use your data for our research purposes and we do not provide your data to anyone else. If you do not sign up for our research, your personal data will be destroyed.
Protection of personal data
The data will be saved in a password protected database. The password is only for a select group of researchers and is changed regularly. Data in the database will only be used to get in touch to make an appointment. We will never provide your data to third parties.
For more information, read our privacy policy.
Your child's anonymity is guaranteed under all circumstances.
The research data collected from your child is analysed as part of the group of children tested and then used in scientific publications. No information is published that would identify your child (e.g. name).
The data collected is given a code and stored and only staff working on the study know which code is linked to your child. The research data can only be accessed by external researchers without personal information or other information that could make it possible to identify your child. For more information on this subject, please see our privacy statement.
You can opt out at all times. In that case, we will delete your personal data from our database. Please get in touch with us by e-mail.
Under the European General Data Protection Regulation you have a number of rights with regard to your data and their processing:

Retracting permission

This has no consequences for what has already been processed, but does mean that we will no longer be allowed to process this data.
