Managing Participant Accounts

Because OmniTrack for Research was designed as a research platform, we focused on minimizing the collection of the privacy-sensitive information from study participants.

Information received and stored from participants

For participant account for using the study app, the app asks participants the following information:

1. Username: Participants may use any arbitrary username for registering an account.
2. Password: The password is stored as a SHA256 hashed string in the server.
3. Email: The e-mail address is only used for sending a password reset link upon the participant's request. Participants may create a secondary e-mail for registering an account.

Creation of participant accounts

OmniTrack for Research provides two ways to create a user account:

1. Any potential participants may register an account from the study app.
2. A researcher may create accounts on behalf of the participants in the experiment dashboard.
