Your Personal Data
We take your privacy seriously and will only use your personal information to provide the services you have requested from us. Your personal information will never be shared with third parties for marketing purposes and will not be used by us for marketing purposes.
Data Collected on This Website
If you complete one of the experiments or questionnaires hosted on this website then the data associated with that experiment or questionnaire are saved on our server. These data contain only the information you provide us (such as participant ID, age, gender and other demographic information) and the data arising from the completion of the experiment (such as reaction times, number of errors, time spent in particular locations) or questionnaire (the answers you provide). These data are accessible only by the investigators involved with the experiments or questionnaires you complete and are anonymised via the participant ID you enter such that data can be linked between experiments and/or questionnaires (for example, so we can match a person’s questionnaire responses to their experiment data) but none of these data are identifiable to a particular participant. That is, we cannot match the data to a participant’s name or identity (beyond the demographic information provided).
