Participant Terms

Thank you for taking part in this research interview. Please read this short notice before you begin.

You are talking to an AI

This interview is conducted by an AI moderator, not a human. It listens, asks questions, and responds using an AI-generated (synthetic) voice. There is no person on the other side during the conversation. Any analysis of your interview is based only on what you say, as text — never on your voice or appearance.

Who runs this study

This study is run by the organisation or person who invited you to take part (the "Researcher"), who decides why and how your data is used and is responsible for it (the data controller). Userflix provides the technology that runs the interview on the Researcher's behalf (the data processor). Userflix does not access your recording or transcript except on the Researcher's instruction or where required by law.

What is stored

Your spoken answers are transcribed into text in real time. No audio or video recording of you is stored — your voice is used only to create the written transcript, and only that transcript is kept. The transcript may contain personal data, including whatever you choose to share during the conversation.

Technical information about your session

To run the interview reliably and keep the service secure, Userflix also collects limited technical data about your session — such as device and browser type, approximate location from your IP address, and error logs. Userflix uses this technical data as its own controller to operate, secure and improve the service, on the basis of its legitimate interests. This is technical metadata only; it does not include the content of your interview answers.

Taking part is voluntary

You can stop and leave the interview at any time, without giving a reason. You do not have to answer any question you don't want to.

How your data is used

Your data is used for the research purpose described to you by the Researcher. The legal basis is your consent, which you give below. To run the interview, the technology uses service providers within the EU (including for speech processing and transcription); where a provider's corporate group may process data outside the EU, appropriate safeguards under Chapter V GDPR apply. For details of how the technology handles your data — including how it is stored, how long it is kept, and how it is protected — see the Userflix Privacy Policy. The Researcher may also provide their own privacy notice with information specific to this study.

Your rights

You can ask to access your data, have it corrected or deleted, or withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already took place. To exercise your rights, contact the Researcher who invited you to this interview; you can also reach Userflix at support@getuserflix.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data-protection supervisory authority.

Age

You must be at least 16 years old to take part.

By accepting these terms, you confirm that you:

understand this interview is conducted by an AI using a synthetic voice;
understand that no audio or video of you is stored, and that only a text transcript is kept;
consent to your data being used as described above by the Researcher; and
are at least 16 years old.
