Effective Date: Nov 24, 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected and processed for the Peer Dialog research study.
We are committed to privacy, anonymity, and transparency.
We collect:
Participants upload anonymized text-based conversations such as:
human–human chats
group chats
human–AI conversations
We explicitly instruct users to remove all identifying information.
Country
Language
Conversation type
Email (only if participating in prize draw)
Standard log data:
IP address (briefly for security, then discarded or anonymized)
Browser/device type
Basic usage analytics
We do NOT use third-party advertising trackers.
We use anonymized submissions to:
Analyze communication patterns
Develop and evaluate computational and machine-assisted analytical methods
Build or refine models, classifiers, embeddings, datasets, or predictive systems
Produce aggregated insights, research outputs, or tools
Support future research or product development
Generate derivative works that may be shared or commercialized
Raw submissions are never sold or published. Derived outputs may be shared, licensed, or commercialized. This includes the creation, improvement, training, testing, and evaluation of automated systems.
We process the conversation data you submit solely for deidentification. After deidentification, the original identifiable data is deleted. Deidentified data may be used internally or by approved third parties for research, evaluation, or the development and training of products and services.
You affirm that the data you submit is accurate, lawful for you to provide, and free from malicious, synthetic, or fraudulent content.
Our legal bases include:
Consent (you choose to upload content)
Legitimate interest (research, analysis, and development of computational methods)
We may share:
Aggregated insights
Derived outputs
Models or tools
We do not share:
Raw conversation text
Personal data (we do not collect any)
We store anonymized data in secure environments using:
Encryption in transit
Access controls
Minimal retention of technical logs
We do not store data in a form that directly identifies individuals.
Raw anonymized submissions may be retained for research.
Derived outputs may be retained indefinitely.
You may request deletion of your raw submissions at any time.
If you enter the prize draw:
Email is collected solely for contacting winners
Email is stored separately from submissions
Email is deleted after Dec 15, 2025
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may:
Request deletion
Request correction
Request information about data usage
Because submissions must be anonymized, we cannot link data back to an individual except via email (if provided).
Participation is restricted to 18+ only.
Anonymized data may be processed in multiple countries. All processing is performed securely.
Updates may be made at any time. The new version will include a revised effective date.
