Important Note: Acceptance of payments from Researchers outside of the Respondent platform is strictly prohibited.


When you sign up with a new Respondent account you agree:

  1. To provide truthful account information upon sign up (including Name, Age, Employment Details, Location, Education, Demographic Information, and the like).

  2. To provide truthful screener and project responses, while also avoiding "duplicating" screeners and altering answers to appeal to specific projects.

  3. To apply only to projects that match your background, skills, and employment information you provided during the signup process.

  4. To always use proper and respectful language when communicating with Researchers or Respondent staff. Profanity, disrespectful communication and/or tone (or implied tone), rude or "short" responses, personal attacks and/or any similar behavior or communication styles will not be tolerated.

  5. Ensure you have the proper technology for participation (webcam, phone calls, Wi-Fi/stable network connections, etc.).

  6. Never contact Researchers outside of the messaging tool within Respondent.

  7. You will not sign up for more than one (1) Respondent account.

  8. To be a harborer of your own data and only ever share answers, information, data, sensitive information that you are comfortable with. If you have questions about what a screener, project or researcher is asking you, or if you question the purpose of the data/information requested, please reach out to Respondent Support and we will provide assistance. Additionally, Respondent is not HIPAA compliant and any medical/health/sensitive data collected should be shared with that understanding.


If you are found to be in violation of any of the above, Respondent retains the right to remove your account from the platform.

Important Note: Acceptance of payments from Researchers outside of the Respondent platform is strictly prohibited. Payments made from Researchers should always be completed in platform and paid via PayPal.

Please Note: Respondent reserves the right review and audit all accounts on the platform, including those of Researchers, Partners and Participants, and the profiles, projects and participation they represent. Occasionally, we may remove any/all of the previously listed if we find they violate our Respondent Code of Conduct, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or platform quality standards. In some unique instances, as a result of these removals, we may be unable to continue communication threads, follow up or close out tasks or projects, provide additional information, or issue incentive payments.
