Optional Information

The VTspace web site is also a research project focused on the support of community participation in design processes.

Primarily, your responses will be used in aggregate with responses from other users to characterize the user community. Your responses will also be associated with your participation on the VTspace web site, but only in a way that does not reveal any personal identifying information. For example, we may seek to correlate responses to certain questions with VTspace use patterns or content submissions. If such an association is made, it will be done without any information that can be used to identify you personally, unless you make that identification in your contribution.
