Privacy Policy

Your data will be stored on our secure server to which only study team members and your Application Provider have access. We give all participants a subject ID number, to keep personal identifying information separate from your audio files. Personal identifying information, such as your email address, will be kept in a distinct password-protected folder separate from your data. Audio and transcript excerpts shared in publications about research with this application will be entirely anonymized.

As university employees, researchers may not be able to maintain as confidential the following: child abuse, child neglect, relationship violence, sexual misconduct, stalking, retaliation, discrimination or harrassment based on sex, race, color, national origin, religion, age, height, weight, marital status, or disability that is related to the University community, or an immediate threat to yourself or others. We are not seeking this type of information in our study, nor will you be asked questions about these issues. However, if you do disclose this type of information, we may need to report it to the MSU Office of Institutional Equity and/or the Department of Police and Public Safety.
