Informed consent is a prerequisite for a subject’s participation in human research. Sufficient information must be provided so that a participant can make an informed decision about whether to enroll in a study, or to continue participation.
When recording gaze data with Pro Lab, it's the experimenters' responsibility to acquire consent from the participant to record, store and process their data. We added the option to save or discard a recording after it is finished depending on the participant's consent decision (please see also the new Eye Tracking Data Transparency Policy by Tobii Group).
