[16:46:49] _o/ [20:09:14] who fancies exploring a hypothetical research ethics question? [20:30:14] uh [20:30:24] if you don't care if the exploration migh tlead to antartica or something [20:30:25] sure [20:33:04] apergos, hehe [20:33:18] so, I'm surveying a population, and giving them informed consent around the survey [20:33:27] I've distinctly got some referer/geo data about them from their browsing [20:33:51] is it okay to just say something like "The information I will be gathering is very simple data about users' age, education and identity. It will be combined with basic geographic and browsing information."? Should I be letting them know the source of the rest of it? [20:40:33] you say it's combined with data from browsing [20:40:41] is there any other data unaccounted for? [20:41:20] do you mean you need to say browsing which websites? [20:41:42] Ironholds: [20:42:48] apergos, indeed! [20:42:51] and naw, no other data [20:42:59] like it's literally referrer-country-[survey info] [20:43:18] so... which websites is it from then? [20:43:29] mine! [20:43:33] ah! [20:43:40] well I think you ought to disclose that then yes [20:43:48] :-D [20:44:45] darnit :P [20:44:52] to be fair if you had said en.wikisource or whatever I would have said to disclose that but you could have been vaguer ("Wikimedia properties") [20:45:10] yeah, totally
