User research data

The above info concerns our website. When you take part in user research organised by the LEAP FORWARD GROUP and all underlying companies (Little Miss Robot, Knight Moves ad Once) this is important:

  • We organise different types of research to make sure that the organisations we work for (‘our clients’) deliver more useful and user friendly services and products to their customers/​users. We organise among others short and in-depth interviews, focus groups, observations, ideation and co-creation session, and user tests.
  • We only collect personal data after we have informed research participants about the study and the purpose of data collection in an accessible way; and after we have obtained explicit consent from the participant to participate.
  • We limit the collection of personal data to what we strictly need:
    • to recruit participants such as a name, phone number, email address, age, gender and/​or occupational status; and
    • to answer our research questions: typically we ask participants whether they know a specific service, website or application; why they did (not) make use of the service; what their experience is with this service; and/​or we invite participants to test a service (prototype) to get feedback on how it could be improved
    • to transfer our insights to the client for whom we conduct the research: we take pictures, record audio and/​or video to integrate in research presentations
  • Participants give separate consent for the collection of the different types of data. In other words, participants can choose to answer the interview questions but refrain from being photographed/​filmed.
  • For the purpose of our research studies we do not require data related to participants’ racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, trade-union membership, religious or philosophical beliefs or sex life or sexual orientation. Neither does our research imply the collection of genetic data, biometric data or health-related data. If this would exceptionally be the case additional precautionary measures will be taken and explained to the participants
  • We keep the personal data that we collected only for a fixed period, that is the foreseen term of the project and maximum 1 year (in case a project is prolonged).
  • When we aim to use pictures or video or other collected personal data for marketing purposes, we inform participants about this in the consent form and ask explicit consent to keep the data for a maximum period of 3 years:
