Propwatch Inc. ("Propwatch," "we," "us," or "our") operates the websites www.proptest.org and related pages (collectively, the "Site").

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and participants who use the Proptest.org testing portal. By using this Site, you agree to the terms described here.

2. Information NOT Collected

We do not collect any personal identifying information from study participants. This includes:

First or last names
Email addresses
Phone numbers
IP Addresses

We may automatically collect non-identifiable technical information, such as browser type and traffic statistics, for basic site analytics and system security. These logs are not linked to study responses and cannot be used to identify you.

3. Use of Study Data

All study data collected through this site are used solely for academic research purposes.
Specifically, Propwatch evaluates the effects of exposure to authentic media content on participants' ability to recognize common propaganda techniques. Your participation helps us in understanding and improving the effectiveness of educational tools designed to enhance propaganda literacy.

Data are retained only as long as necessary for research and institutional record-keeping requirements.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not share or sell data to third parties.
If we ever integrate third-party services (for example, analytics or hosting tools), we will ensure they comply with our privacy standards and do not collect personal identifying information.

5. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect all stored information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Because no personal identifiers are collected, the risk of privacy breach is negligible.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any revisions will be posted on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. We encourage users to review this page periodically.

7. Communications

You will NOT receive promotional or unsolicited messages from us. If you contact us directly for assistance, we will only respond through your recruitment platform (e.g., Prolific).

8. Contact
