Privacy defaults

Identity separation

Routine research records use participant IDs. Direct identity remains in a restricted store when collection is necessary.

Default controls
  • Participant IDs are the working identifiers used in research records.
  • Names and contact details belong in a restricted identity store, separate from research evidence.
  • Any participant-ID-to-identity linkage is a distinct restricted record with explicit access control and auditability.
  • Analysis workspaces and routine exports should exclude direct identifiers by default.
  • Use anonymous only when Convera does not retain a link back to identity; otherwise use pseudonymous or confidential.
AvailableAnonymous

No direct identity is collected for the research record.

DefaultPseudonymous

Identity is stored separately and research records use a participant identifier.

AvailableIdentified

Identity may remain attached only when the study requires it and permissions allow it.

AvailableContact-only identity

Recruitment/contact details are retained separately from analysis data.

Participant-facing explanation

Your name and contact information, when collected, are stored separately from your research responses. Research records use a participant identifier rather than your name. Access to identifying information is limited to authorized personnel and is excluded from routine analysis and research exports.
