1. Research Participation
1.1 You may be asked to take part in research sessions, including interviews, surveys, screen-sharing, screenshots, or recordings of your device.

2.1 We comply with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
2.2 BehindLogin will take reasonable steps to minimise, anonymise or redact personal data captured during research before materials are included in client-facing outputs. Raw research materials will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the research and then securely deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

2.4 You have the standard GDPR rights, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your data.

4.2 Third-party materials – Apps, websites, trade marks, logos and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners. BehindLogin may use relevant screenshots, recordings and excerpts for identification, evidence, analysis, criticism, review and comparison.
4.3 BehindLogin outputs – All analysis, commentary, benchmark data, reports, and other outputs created are owned by BehindLogin.
4.4 Your warranty – You confirm you will only share content you are legally allowed to access.
