In addition to consenting to participate in the study, you will have the opportunity to opt-in to the use of your video and audio data in research presentations with a scientific audience. If you opt-in, your audio and video data will be kept by the researchers for an unlimited period of time, otherwise, it will be deleted ten years after completion of the study. Upon request, personal data (e.g., video, audio) will be made available to journal editors and reviewers to verify our statements.
