As a participant in a research study conducted in part or in whole by the Wearable Informatics Lab (Winfree Lab), your exact terms of service will be determined by your consent to participate in the research study. \u00a0You may choose not to participate in this study without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.<\/p>\n
As a participant, we will access your Fitbit data as supplied by Fitbit.com, or your Garmin data as supplied by Garmin.com, through a secure connection between Fitbit or Garmin and Norther Arizona University (NAU). \u00a0 This is done using an Application Programming Interface (API). \u00a0Efforts will be made to keep your study-related information confidential. \u00a0The activity monitor will report activity measures to the Fitbit or Garmin cloud server. \u00a0While these data will not be stored with your name or any personal identifiers, we cannot ensure complete confidentiality of the Fitbit or Garmin servers. \u00a0Data from the Fitbit or Garmin servers will be stored at NAU, and eventually compressed or removed from the Fitbit or Garmin servers following their outlined agreement.
\nThere may be circumstances where study information must be released. For example, personal information regarding your participation in this study may be disclosed if required by state law.
\nAlso, your records may be reviewed by the following groups:
\n\u2022 Northern Arizona University Institutional Review Board, and the Institutional Review Board of any other participating organization (per your specific study).
\n\u2022 The sponsor supporting the study and their agents or study monitors
\nThe principal investigator (Kyle N. Winfree), and other study personnel will have access to the confidential study-related records that identify you by name. \u00a0Absolute confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. However, to reduce the risk of a breach in confidentiality, you will be assigned a study ID upon enrollment. \u00a0Your name will only be linked to the study in your consent form and one other document that will have your name and study ID together. \u00a0Some studies forgo the consent form and instead use an implied consent through the use of self enrollment in the study. \u00a0In these cases, a consent is not retained and no consent form is collected. \u00a0If a consent form is retained, it will be kept locked in a separate file, independent of all the study records and will be destroyed upon completion of the study in full. \u00a0All other records that contain data collected from you will have your study ID, and will also be kept in secured documents on password protected computers. Results from this study may be publish in relevant scientific journals or presented at regional, national, or international meetings and will not contain any identifying information. \u00a0Pictures taken during the study will be used following the permissions you agree to on photography release signature page – most studies do not request photographic release.<\/p>\n
