IRB and access to participant identity

[Ting]

I just realized that my "necessarily so" answer may not be so clear. Sorry. What I meant was that FindingFive must be able to know who did your experiments; otherwise, we wouldn't be able to tell you who did the studies. I believe this is true for all platforms - if you recruit on A or P, they as the platform must (and in many cases required to) store info on who used their platforms to do what.

From participants' perspective, we must also hold this info in case there's a monetary dispute. Imagine if FindingFive as a platform doesn't know who did what study, and there's money involved, what a mess it will be!

Hope this helps!
