We are committed to handling your personal information securely and carefully. Anonymized behavioral data collected during experiments are stored securely in Google Firebase's databases hosted in the eur3 (Europe‑Central) region. Specifically, we use Firestore and the Realtime Database to persist participants' interaction logs, response times, and other de‑identified metrics. Access to these databases is protected by Firebase's built‑in security rules and is limited by IAM policies to authorized lab personnel only. More information at: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore & https://firebase.google.com/docs/database.
Participants' personal data (e.g., name, email, age) and all authentication are handled via Firebase Authentication. We support sign‑in methods including email/password, Google Sign‑In, and "Sign in with Apple," all of which employ secure OAuth2 and JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) under the hood for session management. Firebase Authentication processes only the minimal required personal data, in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related data‐protection laws. Full documentation: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
The access to the server and the CEU Coordy account are restricted. Only the experimenters with administrative rights can access the data. Databases are temporarily downloaded to the CEU desk computer and password-protected; after the payment process, the private database is deleted from any device.
We do not sell or transfer your information to other organizations.
