>> At the end of the survey you will be asked if you are interested in 
>> participating in an additional interview [by phone, via video conferencing 
>> or email]. If you chose to volunteer for this interview, you will provide

>> transcribed. The transcribed interviews will be stored on OneDrive with 
>> transmission and storage encryption to ensure confidentiality. After one 
>> year, the interview tapes will be destroyed.  All the identifiers from the 
>> transcribed data will be removed and data with no identifiers will be stored 
>> and used for further analysis. The recordings from the interview will be 
>> destroyed within one year of the creation of the recording.
