Terms of Participation

By creating an account and participating in this research study, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:

1. Participant Responsibilities

• You agree to provide age assessments in good faith and to the best of your professional ability using a device with an adequate display to do so.
• You agree not to attempt to download, copy, screenshot, or distribute the provided medical images. All images are anonymized and provided for research viewing within this platform only.

2. Data Collection and Privacy

• Personal Information: The registration data we collect (name, email, institution, role, seniority) is used strictly for user authentication, to analyze the demographics of our participant cohort, and for contact regarding your participation (e.g., for publication acknowledgments).
• Usage Data: We automatically record your browser's type and the time spent per scan. This data is used only for methodological analysis and to ensure data quality.
• Confidentiality: Your personal information will not be sold, shared, or distributed to any third parties. Access is restricted to the core research team.

3. Use of Contributed Data

• Research Use: The age estimates you provide ("Ratings") will be disassociated from your personal account. These anonymized ratings will be aggregated with data from other participants for scientific analysis and research publications.
• Open Science: Anonymized or aggregated datasets derived from the Ratings may be made publicly available in a research repository to support scientific reproducibility.
• Acknowledgments: We may wish to acknowledge significant contributors by name and institution in resulting publications. You will be contacted separately via email for your explicit, opt-in consent before any such public acknowledgment is made.

4. General Terms
