Safeguard participant data

Safeguard participant data

When users agree to participate in user research, they trust you and believe you would keep their data safe and share it on agreed terms only. If you want to mention a user's name even though users prefer to stay anonymous, respect their decision and come up with a pseudonym. Sharing an image of your users or their houses is recommended only if you have permission to do so.

Once the research is finished, consider disposing of user data that is no longer relevant to your project. Consider the legal complications you might encounter if the information is stolen and revealed.
