Data handling policy

Please do not share personal and/or sensitive information in any open question you will find in the experiment. Should this happen, we are going to remove your answer from the final dataset.

Your answers are anonymized to the best of our capabilities. Moreover, the IP address from which you complete the experiment is not saved.

You can withdraw from the experiment at any moment. However, even under your request, we cannot delete your record once you start the experiment, because we cannot retrieve your personal record due to the aforementioned anonymized data collection.

This study uses servers hosted at the Software Engineering Group, University of Bern, to run the experiment as well as to archive the data once the study is completed. Therefore, your data is only stored internally at the Software Engineering Group, University of Bern, and is protected by strict privacy laws.

All the data is used only for research purposes; the data will not be sold or privately shared to third parties.

The data handling is under the responsibility of Wu Chuyue.
