Do we need express permission before using apps in honours thesis study?

26 April 2019 1 107 Report

I am doing a study that looks at the impact of a meditation app (Headspace) vs casual video gaming (Bejewelled) on stress levels and anxiety. At this stage I am unable to contact anyone at Headspace or PopCap games to get their consent re me using these apps for my study. Has anyone used mobile apps in their research before and would you be able to give me any information around what is required in this situation? Any suggestions and advice would be much appreciated!

Olivier Serrat

Headspace and Bejewelled, or any suchlike applications, are not likely to respond to entreaties by email: it may be easier to read their terms and conditions with care. (Those for Headspace are at https://www.headspace.com/terms-and-conditions .)
