Stroud Water Research Center (“we” or “us” or “our”) respects the privacy of our users (“user” or “you”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Shared Waters Mobile Application (the “App”). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS THE APPLICATION.
As part of a current National Science Foundation-funded research project, Stroud Water Research Center collects some information from the use of this App. This app is initially intended for use by students and teachers in an education research project.
The only student discussions with AI STEM career avatars that will be analyzed for research purposes are from those who have already consented to be involved in the research. Non-identifying user analytics will also be collected. This data includes typical web-based user analytics, such as user clicks to view different augmented reality macroinvertebrates. Users who are not in the research project may use the app; their data will be deleted and not analyzed. No login is required, and the app does not collect user names or similar identifying information.
Some app users may choose to interact with us by submitting personally-identifying information through a contact/help form on WikiWatershed.org. You have the right to view your personal data or request that it be deleted from our database through the following links:
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
This app collects user data during the initial research period, including from users who may be children, whose parents have provided prior consent. All other data from users, outside of the research project, will be deleted and not analyzed.
