How will respondent confidentiality be maintained within ASA24?
Researchers do not provide NCI or the ASA24 system with any identifying data for study respondents. Rather, researchers specify an ID number for each respondent and download system-generated usernames and encrypted passwords that respondents use to access the respondent site. ASA24 also does not collect any identifying data directly from respondents. However, IP address information is accessed for the purpose of routing information between the server and the respondents computer often the IP address is that of the users Internet Service Provider (ISP). IP addresses are not stored or tracked by ASA24. However, logs of connections are kept for audit trail purposes this information is not mined in any way but would be available if there were a legal obligation to release it.
