If you were sent a study that runs on Sigmer

The research team decides what their study asks, who on their team can see the answers, and how long the answers are kept.

The research team wrote the study's information and consent pages. That is where to find who they are and how to contact them.

• Your answers are kept on your device until they have been delivered.
• Answers are delivered as you go, so if you stop part way, what you have already answered may have been delivered.
• If a study is Sealed, the lock at the top of its page says so, and your answers are sealed on your device before they leave it.
• A Sealed study that runs in several parts and decides the next part from an answer sends that declared answer to Sigmer outside the seal, where Sigmer can read it.
• Otherwise, your answers are stored encrypted, and every time stored answers are read, the read is recorded.
• A participant who declines the consent form leaves no response behind.

• To withdraw, or to ask for your answers to be deleted, contact the research team. If the study knows who you are, or you give them the participant code or recruitment ID it used, they can find your answers and delete them.
• In an anonymous study, the research team may have no way to tell which answers are yours.

• Study pages set no cookies and load no advertising or analytics trackers.
• An email Sigmer sends about a study never contains anyone's answers.

Questions about a study go to its research team, who designed it. Questions about Sigmer itself can go to hello@sigmer.io.
