PrivaDroid - UofT

Description of PrivaDroid - UofT

PrivaDroid - UofT is to study the reasons for decisions users make when answering runtime permission requests and when installing and uninstalling applications. Survey questions will appear at some app install and uninstall events, and sometimes at the moment of a permission request. We collect demographic information once at the beginning and ask for your opinion on a few items in an exit survey. The app collects no personally identifiable data except for your Google Advertising ID and we will not use this ID to re-identify you. Your data and answers are only shared with our research team and access control is used to secure your data.
Participants need to enable accessibility service and app usage access for PrivaDroid to work properly. Participants who answer the demographic questionnaire and stay in the experiment for 30 days will qualify for a 10 USD reward in the form of PayPal payment. We ONLY support PayPal payment method. Multiple enrolments in this experiment only qualify for one payment. Payments may take about three weeks and longer. Currently, we only accept participants from Canada, United States, United Kingdom, South Korea, Spain, France, Hong Kong, India, South Africa, Argentina and Singapore. Users outside of the above countries can still participate but will not be eligible to receive a reward. During the experiment, your Android language MUST be set to one of the following languages: English, Spanish, French, Korean and Traditional Chinese. You won't be eligible for the reward otherwise. The University of Toronto receives donations from Google. However, no raw data collected from this research will be shared with Google or any of its staff. Thanks for joining!
