When you register you need to give us some personal details. We use these solely for recruitment purposes. The recruitment is usually for experiments run by us and occasionally to tell you about an opportunity to participate in research conducted by a third party organisation (for example, when we collaborate with researchers at another university). We will clearly indicate it to you if you are being invited to participate in a study run by a third party so you can choose whether or not to participate.
You can unsubscribe from our register at any time using the unsubscribe button on your account profile. If you do that we will not contact you again. However, if you change your mind in the future, please register again with the same email address and your participation history will be recovered.
In an experiment you make decisions, which we record. We use these decision data for our scientific work, which we aim to publish and present in talks. Your decisions are anonymous: we are not interested in the identity of who made each particular set of decisions and in our work we never identify individual participants.
We keep a record of which experiments you take part in though, because we may not want to invite you to an experiment if you have participated in a similar one already. We also keep a record of the experiments you sign up to but fail to attend.
At the end of an experiment you will be asked to complete a receipt for any money that you are paid. This receipt will include the date of the experiment, your name, signature and amount paid. We pass these on to the University finance department who retain them as proof of payment.
