The data provided will be securely stored in Loughborough University Data Repository.

If I donate copies of my personal or family photographs to the project I will have to I confirm that I am the copyright holder of this photograph/s and will be granting the non-exclusive right to MMPI for the use of my images. This means I am agreeing that my donated photographs can be included in the online archive/exhibitions resulting from the project activity that I am participating in. The photographs will be published and made available on the MMPI website and the website will explicitly outline that the photographs cannot be used elsewhere under an ‘all rights reserved’ closed license.
