The aim of the ACED project is to support the employment of people with episodic mental and physical health conditions through the development of practical, evidence-based tools to facilitate workplace communication and accommodation planning, while also protecting a person’s right to privacy.
All of the ACED tools are designed to be anonymous and confidential. We do not ask users to enter any identifying information, such as names or emails, we do not store IP addresses, and we do not view or use users’ responses to the tools.
Where and for how long is the information stored?
All information entered into an ACED Tool – whether DCIDE or the JDAPT – is stored on a webserver physically located at the Institute for Work & Health in Toronto, Ontario.
Responses to DCIDE or the JDAPT are stored anonymously for three days to allow for users to save a draft and return within that time. The responses are not accessed or saved and are automatically deleted after 72 hours.
Access to the incomplete response is through an HTML cookie saved in your device’s browser. If you wish to access a saved draft of your response, you need to return to the tool using the same device and the same browser.
Important note: If you are using a public computer, we recommend deleting the browser history, including cookies, after you have completed the tool and downloaded your PDFs.
